I like how someone wasn't sure where the richie fit range wise compared to the bb4 :P
FOOD
now thats said, I tested with someone from your fleet speed, a while back.
H39 and alsace. From what we both noted, alsace is outrange by a really tiny margin by the
H39, but it was kinda nullified most of the time by the alsace erratic spread.
At any rate, even in case of a block, the range difference isnt enough for the H39 to get
freebie on the alsace, especially since the alsace can pretty much gives it a run for its
money at slinging, as it keeps a speed advantage on it.
As far as the iowa playstyle goes its quite simple.
Your ship has no weakness, yay! But it also has no particular strenght, darn.
So how do you do this? Simple. For each attribute of the iowa, there is always a ship that
does better than it. Yammy and L1 pwns it firepower wise, L1 and richie are faster, all
safe L1 got better AA, and its average range wise.
Against BB3 and less use your range. Against other BB4, rather than play to your strengh,
which is what you would do with H39 (range) or L1 (rushing), you play to your enemies
weakness compared to you.
You'll play range vs the L1 and richie, beat the vanny in a linefight or use your superior
firepower in a rush (do it well tough, vanny goes 42 knot as well. If you are obvious
about it, its going to start running too soon and your 45 max angle aint that good at
running after things)
Against a yammy, you'll use your hitbox to negates its firepower advantage, while you land
full salvo on its fat arse.
Against an H39, you use your firepower and hitbox.
A great iowa player is versatile, and can play multiple styles. In the end, I believe, you
leave your iowa behind and you learned quite a few lessons.
Guam--Colo-Sodak-Iowa are the reasons I suggest to new player to go USN. You get through
the line a BB course 101 to all of the basic BB technique and strategy rather than stick
to one for the whole line.
