I also think that BB are very bad, especially low tier (didn't play higher tier BBs). My last battle in Wyoming was a disaster due to RNG - I shot few times enemy CA/CL but while some salvos had correct range and direction, some shells landed too far while at the same time the others to close. :-( They shall correct the shot accuracy (dispersion) on BB - and they will but only on short ranges - I am wondering how big the buff will be. And yes - the low tier BB have too low gun range and too high MM (they have MM up to +4 tiers: http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Battle_Mechanics_%28WoWS%29). It's not good.

Hi Exustio! Great to have such database! But I think that you should correct some of your notes regarding the ships and maybe add information about armor of the ships and penetration values. It's very important factor of BBs. See below my remarks: I think that for BB the most important is the AP DPM, penetration, armor and speed. In Tier 4 IJN BB Myogi has very, very low AP DPM (slightly above half of Wyoming or Arkansas Beta), while being faster and having better range of main guns which have higher caliber, so probably better penetration. This means that in direct fight against each other, Myogi is worst, but in higher tier battles it has more chances to hit and penetrate higher tier BBs. ...because Kongo has worse armor (missing in your statistics) but better speed and range of main guns. I see that Warspite has bad AP DPM, but hopefully better penetration of AP (higher caliber of main guns). I don't know anything about the armor :-( and I think also at the cost of an armor - North Carolina has worse armor than tier VII Colorado, but I don't know the details. HE have no use on BBs (except defending from DD or attacking CVs). Otherwise you shall always use AP to get 'citadel' penetrations which damage a lot enemy ships. I am wondering what is the armor on both ships. Iowa has only slightly better armor (historically) than North Carolina. No: AP DPM of Yamato is very impressive with probably the best penetration of all ships in WoWS. I don't know what is the penetration of Montana, but probably it is only slightly better or even the same as Iowa (the same caliber of main guns). I don't know the armor values, but they shall be much better than lower tier BBs (hitorically Montana "had" (on paper) much better armor than Iowa). Yamato was supposed to be immune from fire on long ranges from US BBs like Colorado (406mm guns). Regards! Jasio
