I have a problem driving my iowa, and most games i made 20-40k attack, and then die, but
when im lucky i can make around 100-150k games, but these are rare(2 of 10 games). I made
poor XP with this thing, and lvl-ing is borring
I have this crew:
BO:LvL 98
Gunners 2X Acc LvL 98 (11 11 default gunners)
Repair 3X LvL 90 (1x + 12 and others+11 base)
Engies 4X LvL 89 (2x +12, 2x +11 base)
Scout LvL 80
Restorer LvL 90
My crew is not boosted, only partially vetted and experted, and i have 880 SD. Speed is
problem, i go 24/35 with around 100 bulge, 24/36 with little bulge (around 30)
What i am doing wrong in iowa???

Also if your doing 22 knot basespeed in an Iowa you have most likely got the monty engine
on there. The Iowa/Nebby engine is USN BB Engine VII with 233,200 BHP not the Monty
Engine: USN BB Engine
VIII with 189,000 BHP

In my experience, the Iowa was a very good ship. She has an uncharacteristicly
good(for US) gun range compared to other BB4's. She also has good DP and good
AA. The problem is that since you are now in a BB4, you are worth a great deal
more to the BB5's on the other team.

Having said that, you can rush and get the drop on a blind BB5, but if you do, commit
all the way. If you rush in, only to find that the "blind" BB5 can actually see you,
don't turn away or you will be dead for sure.

bad news for you:

they lifted off blizt ship restriction ages ago.

So now BB1 and CV1 can pass half of their time in them, and enter GB near BB2 still havin
learnt nothin of the base BB1 used to burn in the driver's mind.

I honestly have trouble thinking of a "new" generation BB driver that does good.

finishin BVEing your engy would help. But with similar speed (my USN BB was my first BB
and wasn,t totally BVEd till monty. At iowa level, I had 4 a bit underlevel engies (didnt
know bout 2 BO tactic back then, came later) with 50 vets unboosted and not full xpert
(bout 1/2 expert). Speed was 25/34 i think when I first got it (lol). Still did well
enough, with an average of 100-120k attack being a new player to the style.

remember what the Guam and sodak taught you about surviving, most of it still apply.
Profile manipulatin, zigzagging, etc.

I would rather have a blitz2 with the same ship restrictions but no level restrictions.
