Iowa serves as a forefront platform for exceptionally strong and accurate guns which gives it an edge in mid to long-range combat. Slower in velocity, these shells might seem slow and heavy, but if shot with proper lead they pack a nasty punch on all ships. Not only that she also has special US heavy shells, these shells have higher AP alpha and better pen at ranges. Firstly it is currently the only battleship to be able to equip the artillery plotting room mod which greatly increases accuracy. Iowa main feat is her 3x3 406mm guns that have a few special characteristics that make her guns stand out from the pack.

With Iowa, the players face a sudden shift in playstyle from the brawling style of battleships to a more long-range gunnery platform. Slow shell velocity makes aiming a bit harderĬulminating the US Battleship line at Tier 7 is none other than the mighty Iowa.Weak broadside armour can easily be citadelled if not angled.
