From a comparison someone posted just after MN was introduced:

H44 > L2 > SY > Monty > Alsace

Not sure about Soviets tho.

SN BB5 have less range than a Monty. Donno how it compare to MN.

currently its about h44-L2-Sy-Sovietsky-Alsace-Monty (not 100% sure about sovietsky)

So.... one person says the monty is 3rd in range and another says it is last in range.... If it is last in range than how much further is its range from an iowa?

Monty has just above the range of the H39 if that helps. Montana is the last in range of the BB5's, but it is the most powerful if I am not mistaken. Even so, the difference in range between the BB5's isn't enormous. So to say montana is last in range (which it is) only means it is a few millimeters off from the H44.

H44 > L2 > SY = Monty > Alsace > SS

Alsace never get a spread buff.

Well 3 more levels before I get to terrorize the high seas in a monty! WOOO!!
