KaraMon Players 4,154 posts 9,221 battles Report post #26 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Some statistics http://warships.today/vehicles/eu the IOWA is dealing around 10% more avg damage IOWA - WR / AVG DMG 50% 63,352 IZUMO - WR / AVG DMG 49% 57,112 Don't show stats or WG will do something about it. Will they buff Izumo? NEVER , they will nerf Iowa to the point that the ship will die to atlanta And we will have not the best Izumo , insanely bad Iowa , and similar WR /Dmg stats Edited December 31, 2015 by KaraMon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TTTX] Tyrendian89 [TTTX] Players 4,608 posts 8,139 battles Report post #27 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) very close to getting mine, curious how she'll do for me (Iowa isn't doing well for me for some reason, miles behind things like Fuso and Nagato in average stats, let alone the three T8 BBs...) €dit: Well stock Izumo is an absolute pain; how the hell does a T9 have literally THE worst 16" AP shells in the entire game? Don't think I've gotten a single citadel on a BB yet, and the targets included 10km broadsiding Iowas... A dispersion model that seems intent on trolling me continuously (as in, the spread looks nice and tight, I almost get excited - until every single shell lands in a nice and tight pattern all around the target, or manages to bounce off of a flat Amagi broadside) doesn't help either, and neither does a succession of teams that never heard of the concept of supporting the battleships. And, you know, that vaunted armour? Well here's a 20k salvo from maybe 25° off your bow (belt, not deck), thanks for playing! OK enough ranting, but for now, stock Izumo definitely takes third place in my eternal list of least fun ships behind Yorck and Karlsruhe.

Svartur77 Beta Tester 45 posts 15,493 battles Report post #28 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Just bought it recently. I hope this pos transforms with hull upgrade like many others do. It is not accurate at all compared to Amagi, at least not while not elited. Dispersion is horrible at range. I have higher avg damage in New Mexico 3 tiers lower. My last hope goes to the hull upgrade or I am gonna have to invest som free xp into this grind. Guess it takes time getting used to as well, different ship, different playstyle.

My last hope goes to the hull upgrade or I am gonna have to invest som free xp into this grind. Guess it takes time getting used to as well, different ship, different playstyle. [also still on stock hull] to me it looks like the horizontal dispersion is pretty good most times, owing to the tight turret placement among other things, but vertical dispersion is a horrid joke. I can reliably shoot at cruiser broadsides at 5km and have half my shells go way over his superstructure and half into the water a good distance short. And when the shells do hit for once, they're still the worst 16" AP shells in the entire game, meaning shooting BB broadsides is nigh-on useless at most any range, and Cruisers I can't hit. *sigh* really hoping for the hull upgrade to improve the situation significantly, but pretty confident it will, since judging from most of the Izumos I've faced the ship does have a lot of power behind it.

[OMPG] Hauptbahnhof Beta Tester 1,198 posts 5,570 battles Report post #30 Posted January 5, 2016 Accurate turrets ? Pls. Maybe if you standing still. When you have bigger avg dmg with Izumo than with Yamato something is wrong with you You cannot compare Izumo with 75 games and Yamato with 5 games. Play more games and your avg dmg will be 100k at least. I didn't write I have bigger avarge dmg with Izumo then Yamato... I wrote I had more average XP. Turrets on Izumo are so accurate it's scary, at least for the upgraded one. Two salvos... Two dead cruisers. Happened so many times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its easy to hold around 100k avg dmg with izumo but gamestyle is really boring on that ship. Iowa is better ship but Yamato is much better than Montana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iowa is better ship but Yamato is much better than Montana To be honest I found the Izumo guns worked alot better against Cruisers. Yamatos guns is what you want versus Battleships Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
