I recently leveled up enough to buy my Alaska, but even with lvl 51 Hvy gunners I cant
mount anything larger then 8" guns. the dual 14's dont even show up?!? whats going
on. According to the shipyard>US Naval Guns chart I should be able to mount them. The
ship has plenty of space/weight.

Although not very powerful and esspecially weak against all other bb's Guam has to be one
of my favorite ships, with 12' guns its got a decent rate of fire and nice spread and is
great for chewing up smaller ships that slip into your range.

Not to mention it looks so darn good ;)

the main sux point with the alaska is its CA support slot. So you do have less SD than
other BB1s (and total lol at UK).

Also at that level, unless your gunners are 10-12 levels ahead of your BO, you'll struggle
with the spread. Guam is much more enjoyable:

5 support slot
More ammo with 12" L.
Cooler camo!

and gunners are starting to get the hang of the 12", Engies rep should also start to have
a noticeable effect around lvl 60-65.

Intercept
Had no problems with the Alaska, very fast and maneuverable. Use that to your advantage,
just try not to get yourself in sticky situations as you have a fairly large hit box. 12"
trips are the way to go, once your spread gets a little tighter you can inflict some pain
if they get close. It's also vital to learn your angles, if you can do all this and have
pin point accuracy you will be a deadly fighting machine.

Everyone is always saying its bad, but i reckon it's capable of just as much if not more
than the other BB1's if given a chance. Not in the sense of the raw damage some of the UK
BB's can inflict but tactically it can handle itself.

Yeah, I know. A five month necro doesn't make the front page. It's back by the
classifieds somewhere. =)

IMO, the Penn30 is the best BB1 the USN has. In a versus battle against all other BB1s,
Penn30 comes out on top as the BB with the highest punch.
