That’s exactly what I run on all my high tier USN battleships (although I personally prefer the secondary battery mod in slot 3 to give a little bit extra impact when you end up needing to push in and brawl and with all the AA changes since the rework I don’t feel the AA mod is worth taking on most ships).Please mark leaks with spoiler tags, like this: Smolensk is balanced!. I currently have a 17 point captain with 16 of those points being used at this time, the last remaining skill to obtain would be BoS. I guess I'm on the right track then because my current captain matches up exactly with the above. The Pre-Rebork AA system gave me a lot of return for my AFT, BFT, AAGM2 upgrade. My High Tier USN BBs in particular were fantastic AA Battleships. You can have your stealth and survival at the same time.īefore the CV Rework, I used to do a lot of AA Builds. APRM1 is pointless as Iowa's upgraded gun range is great already.ĭCSM1 - For even better survival capability, but I acknowledge some would prefer SGM2 here still.ĪPRM2 - Better dispersion for your main battery. Iowa - What I would do now if it didn't cost me Doubloons to retrainįP or CE, whichever you didn't get at first.ĪAGM1 or SBM1, doesn't matter. Iowa with Full Stealth: Camo + CSM1 + CE drops to 12.73km surface detection. Consider that when you're on fire, that worsens by 2km, that's going to get even worse, becoming much harder to disengage if you find yourself in trouble. Iowa with Camo + CSM1 is 14.1km detection, which is bad. Tech Tree USN BB Secondaries are hot garbage. Good concealment means even a Battleship can control its engagements more easily.Ĥ. AA isn't worth spec'ing into because the returns on AA capabiity isn't there.ģ. Your ROF of your 127mm/38 DP guns are SLOW, on top of having very mediocre range for Tier IX BB secondaries.ġ.

Iowa-class Secondaries in Secondary Build only reach to 8.64km, which is completely laughable. Outside that, then Secondary Build, even then it's not going to scare anyone and make them consider Iowa to be a dangerous brawler. Personally, I'd recommend a Stealth Survival hybrid build on Iowa now as optimal for PVP.
