Iowa - The Legend

- The Iowa is not only a legendary ship in real life, but it's one of the oldest ships in WoWS. I've been playing it recently to get a feel for this thing again, and it has been surprisingly enjoyable. I expected to dislike the ship considering the power creep, but even though the ship can be challenging, it has still been fun. You can find my build at the end.

Yeah that
for a ship known for its gun accuracy and an aiming system far ahead of its time, it is very disappointing seeing how inaccurate the guns are :(
OMG first!!!111shifteleven!!
Making the Jean Bart historically accurate
All I learned from this just reaffirmed my experience with Iowa. Sit back, snipe, and do nothing because you’ve got pre-buff German BB accuracy. Or you can get closer, get focused, and do nothing because you die in 5 seconds. Real great ship, thanks WG.
Sad that the greatest battleship ever built is on of the worst in the game.
Lol that enemy Iowa raging in all chat
Iowa’s health pool IS AMAZING it has like a total of 200k health after using all 5 heals Iowa IS NOT a challenging ship to play it’s an EASY ship to play, rudder shift is not clumsy, not a lot of people like shooting Iowa since it’s hard to get pens on her, this dude legit has no idea what he is talking about!!!!
The Iowa class should get more love in WoWS...They were among the last BBs built in history, and were the last BBs operating - USS Wisconsin (which should be a Premium!) was not decommissioned until 1991, and remained in the US Naval Reserve fleet until 2006!! By the 1980s they were rocking anti-missile systems, anti-ship missiles, UAV's, and land attack cruise missiles in its armament. They were even equipped to fire nuclear shells. A good argument could be made that a variant of the Iowa class ships like the Missouri or Wisconsin should be the most powerful ships available in WoWS.

Fun Fact of the dark times: The current armor layout of the Iowa-class is actually buffed from when this ship was released. This ship's armor was realistic and fairly authentic to the real Iowa-class but in practice in this game with its mechanics, the armor was enough to make many of the heavy cruisers blush. If you gave even a tiny bit of skirt in the Iowa and as Flamu detailed in its armor layout that if you show a bit too much during bow on engagements, you actually show more than you perceptually think. The citadel was very high back then and the likes of Zao with their 203mm guns could literally score 10-12 citadels in a single volley provided their close enough.

I remember the time this ship's superstructure had a bug and got saturated after only 5000 damage. It was the tankiest ship during that time, and it somehow took several weeks to fix it.
I went to the IOWA museum last month, it is an experience you ever forget.

"Battleship Torpedo" cracked me up.
