Just got her! Super excited. Trying to figure out what equipment to run, I’m thinking turret traverse and both steering traverse equipment. Anyone out there that has her have any thoughts?
I’m running faster secondary gun reload, repair accel and torpedo defense. So far so good with an 11 to 1 kill ratio (55 kills) and 63k average damage over 27 games.
No point running secondary gun reload because it hardly changes it. I run 1 Main Battery Modification 3 2 Damage Control 3Torpedo Defence
You could also run Propulsion for slot 2 and steering for slot 3
Im at 157 games 72% win rate 7.03 K/D 63k average damage 40% MVP
193.4k xp on it i run premium and boosters though haha
Switched to Artillery Plotting Room for the extra range, but I think Retribution may have it right. That improved accuracy on the main battery will probably pay off more often than the longer ranged guns.
sanguinarydan,[IG] Retribution is absolutely right. I followed his configuration and combining that equipment with the historical camo works WONDERS. Super improved accuracy makes it deal a lot of damage on long and medium range. If you plan to use it for quite a while (ie skipping Iowa), then it's all worthy

I'm about 1/3 of the way thru the Colorado grind right now...the NC is the light at the end of the tunnel
While the Montana is the finish line, the Iowa is very important hydration station. And it was actually built.
Yeah, I know, but what else was I supposed to do with current economy? Spending half the cost of Montana on the intermediate ship was (and still is, imo) not an option... Both silver- and BP-wise. If I have barely gotten to the 7M up till the last time I played, imagine if I'd have to grind 30M more than that... If the economy were much better, I wouldn't need to resort to such moves...😓

The way I figure it if the Iowa is even half as much fun and effective as the North Carolina the XP part of the grind for the Montana will be a breeze. Having two superb Battleships to generate those points will be a ton of fun.
The silver.... Heck, I don’t even know how much silver I’ll need since the Tech Tree doesn’t show you till you’ve got the ship below.
Regardless, the North Carolina is so incredible that any other same or lower Tier BB may as well start loading the lifeboats before she even gets in range.

Price points for Blitz and PC versions of WoWS are the same so you can always check that out.
But should be ~12 mil silver for Iowa ~24mil silver for Montana

I knew the Iowa was expensive, but the Montana is ridiculous. Successful missions get you 10,000 if you’re lucky. Twenty four million is preposterous. Sure I could get gold and convert at that really shit rate. But JFC did they get an American defense contractor to design the economy? Only the sort of moron who charges $12,000 for a hammer would think that was viable.
im 3k xp away from Iowa and 20k free xp from Montana... I'm gonna skip iowa
Much as I made fun of the idea, that may be the way to do it. Trying to do both ships might take me till Christmas. It’s just too much silver. And that’s really disappointing.
