Very interesting, more so than the Missouri as it won't cost quite as much.

 

However, as said before this will be the 3rd viable USN Premium BB whereas the IJN still have 0 :amazed:

 

And no that T2 pre Dreadnought thing and the T4 lolmobile doesn't count!!!

Sigma :                                           1.9

 

Is this going to be one of the most accurate BB in game?

Warspite has 2.0 as I remember.

Are you talking about Ishizuchi? She's gorgeous!!

 

And while I happily skip Missouri I might be tempted by a South Dakota class. Let's see how she works out. Sigma  1.9 is better than the 1.8 we are usually shooting with. Not Arizona like 2.0 but Arizona is borderline strong for her tier I admit.

I thought Arizona had the best sigma of the tier 6 BB's but I might be mistaken. I got both the Old Lady and the Arizona, and even at max range that Arizona has excellent grouping ( 12 shells vs 8 though ).

th rizona was nerfed to 1.8 Sigma iirc

 

Are you sure???

 

I have her in port and the shot grouping feels incredible tight (maybe also because of 12 barrels which is a lot more tha I am usually using). Koenig has 10 guns with Sigma 2.0 iirc - and it might be perception but I think you feel a difference to eg. Bayern or Kaiser.

 

What's default on the US BBs? Is it 1.8 as well?

No that I'm gonna buy her, but I think NoCal and SoDak classes look fine.

Yes, she's not a bad looker but a little weak in battles. Unless it's to load HE with a DE captain to troll burn everyone.

Arizona will always be more accurate than same tier 12 gun BBs because they have 1.5 Sigma compared to Arizonas 1.8

A 38mm torp belt, whereas NC only gets 16mm... Not bad at all.

 

As she stands right now, I don't fear any calls of 'OP'. She seems almost identical in performance to the North Cal's, except her ability to deal with torpedoes is improved (Better manoeuvrability is very nice). Might be a little harder to remove her from play, but her damage dealing potential is pretty much the same as the NC's (Better traverse is marginal, but nice).

 

Can't wait to see the first in-game screenshots.
