I have a question...

Now I play Iowa since 2 months, I have excelent engys/reps/etc etc.

My gunners:

lvl 94 BVE (160 vets) base 11/12 RLD classed.

I still have a bad spread, while the ability is OK, they are classed on time, no problems.
But when Shooting the shells go around everywhere...

Now I end up with 10k attack a game, and IF i hit something..... like 3-4 shells.

What do I have to do? buy 12/11 BVE overvetted??

Because If i shoot right up north/south/west/east They do pretty-well, but sometimes the spread is worse, other time its perfect.
But if im in battle & navigate, and fire (like firing North-west) my spread is terrible.

So how do those Montys all have a nice spread?

Post a picture of your gunners.

Check your fcs

Your spread will be at it's best, when perpendicular to your target.

Gunners are acc capped, more vets won't help.

Iowa spread is a bit irregular till 96, but not as much as you describe.

CHECK the installed FCS, and confirm it is correctly BB Aiming FCS II.

CHECK Guns are also supposed to be 3x16" Mk7 Ls

Your gunners, other than the vets, are filled with experts/rookies?

Iowa has a shotgun spread, it's normal.

I first want to check how shotgun he means.

If its regular, then the 10k a game is crap, but I find it hard to think regular setup could fail that hard.

I was a noob when I got iowa, with crap crew as it was my first BB line, 35 knot of OH, but I was still getting 100k often.

SS of the spread could help tough.

SS of the gunners.

SS of the FCS used. (which allows to check the guns at the same time)



If your iowa is set correctly, and the shotgun is really the at level useable spread Richard think, then I heavily suggest you give my BB guide a read, it could probably help you get more than 10k.


On that line of tought, how many of those excellent engys/rep do you have?

If your spread is that bad, stay in the BB3 a few more levels.

You must have something wrong with your ship to have horrifc spread. (The worst spread I've ever seen in the Iowa I could still pull 50k attack with, without engys) Either your playing it wrong or you've put the wrong FCS.


Monty don't have good spread either. Its the 1/10 salvos that are relatively tight, the rest normally end up being the length of the ship.

USN BB3 spread is notoriously "inconsistent". Bad spread on Iowa will likely mean worse spread on Sodak or NC. Realative to other nations BB4s, I found the Iowa to have just as good (and depending on the angle) better spread than several of the other nations.

As already stated, check the FCS that is on it, and gunners get better with level (even acc capped gunners). May just be an issue of getting a few more levels. On my second pass through US, I ran 11/11 unboosted 100 vet full expert gunners and used Iowa with around level 95 gunners. Spread is somewhat inconsistent, but not a shotgun.
