Love my American bbs love them both Kansas is up there as well. I was young and the new jersey came to Sydney once best ship I have ever walked on. She did a broadside off Sydney heads was amazing to hear it
theres a few good bbs that are able to hold middle just outside the cap and look for citadels on either side. my favourite to do it is lenin, absolute tank as well so you attract a lot of shells which are easily bounced which helps your team a lot as theyre not being shot at as much. as long as youre aware of what youre doing and enemy locations and predicted movements then you can be very very effective in the middle with certain tanky bbs.
I've been playing the Missouri and Alabama a lot lately and I just find the Missouri suits me better. It hits harder and that radar is great on DDs that don't expect it.
I actually had a game a few days ago where I was in a yorck and torped an iwoa that didn't even try to dodge so I hit all 6 torpedoes and I somehow survived a salvo from that iowa when I was nearly flat broadside
My impression about how peek and Aron look at ships: "If it's not yamato or mushashi, it's a bad ship". Seems to me like anything that doesn't have yami capabilities is not a good ship to them
The Iowa is still my most played ship and the first t7 tech tree line I completed year one. She will always be my fav and I’m looking forward to New Jersey and possibly Wisconsin if they ever get added in. I need all the sisters and my harem shall be complete 🤣🤣🤣 at least I’m close to grabbing enough steel for Missouri!
I'm going to be using azura lane New Jersey for the Iowa when she comes out cause of her unique skill 15 percent citadel damage and 7 percent diisposion and the fact that she gets the anti fire skill in her third solt and her inspiration skill 5 percent more damage for anything beyond 10 km she will also be my go to commander for all my sniper battleships
I was a massive fan of the Iowa yrs ago it took me ages to finally get her and I love it that much it’s a still a virgin in my collection never used it once I don’t want it to get damaged and still have it never used once. Is that weird Spartan having that much love for a battleship.
I'm a player with like 60 battles, so pretty new. I pretend to stay for a while in tier 5 (playing only US ships right now), i view it as a good mid tier. My question is: when i feel prepared to advance more into the tiers, what's the current ""best"" tier 7 tech tree US battleship? I watched some videos of Iowa and Kansas, what draws me more to Iowa is it's above average speed, but... is it worth it tho?
Idk both are great in there own way but me being loving the Iowa class more I’ll take the Iowa hey spartan question are you getting the new AL New Jersey commander and ship
@@SpartanElite43 true but great ship if your not going flat broadside to a Yamato or something hell even a minotaur you showed that in your meet the minotaur video
Great vid thanks for sharing insights. My dilemma is that I just reached 750k gxp.......so now I have to decide which ship. I am leaning towards either Bama or Mass, but there are lots of choices. I like playing all ships but prefer cruisers and battleships...... Any suggestions?
@@jaredandrews970they’re better, but I wouldn’t say much better. They’re more accurate, but from my experience the Mass is still accurate enough with the plotting room mod equipped
I love the Iowa and Missouri in Legends. If anything, they're my most played ships. It's the 16in 50cal Mark 7 guns that make them extremely deadly. That's something you don't get with the Mark 6 45cal guns of the North Carolina, Massachusetts and Alabama (still extremely deadly in their own right). I know there's a debate on which gun was the most powerful historically between the Iowa-class's 16in 50cal gun and the Yamato-class's 18.1in gun. In terms of size, Yamato wins hands down. But in terms of performance and armor penetration (mostly thanks to the Mark 8 super heavy armor-piercing shell, coupled together with the 50cal length of the guns), the Iowa-class wins that, hands down. In my opinion, sheer size isn't everything. Also, jumping to another topic here; RNG taketh and RNG giveth away. The game shouldn't really be RNG oriented, it should be skill driven. Call me stupid or naive or whatever, but actual naval sailors and officers didn't win the Battle of Jutland, the Battle of the North Cape, the Battle of the Denmark Straight, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, or the sinkings of the USS Indianapolis and HMS Barham by RNG calculations (of course some MIGHT argue that in the case of HMS Hood, but I digress). It was all skill. These brave sailors trained rigorously for years before being assigned to a vessel that was going to fight on the frontlines in the middle of the ocean.
The fact that peek has to put other people down to try and prove he is right clearly shows his insecurities. I can’t even watch any of his content bc he just cries and hollers the whole time like a kid. And then tries to assert himself as a dominant player... It’s a video game and it rules his life, sad to see. But I’ve been watching You from the beginning spartan at like 5k subs. I love how you always encourage people and always humble yourself and you let the gameplay speak for its self. Never stop what you’re doing, your personality will carry you a long way in life spartan. This was just on my chest, God loves you.
I mean I get upset and have been known to be a bit toxic at times but I still try to keep it within reason and if someone is doing everything they can to help the team I'm not going to be tearing them down.
Taking the bama just because the maneuverability. Game first drop Iowa all day, but since u get farmed threw the super structure and between the guns and rng no thanks
I hate when an ally battleship hides in the corner of the map with full health until the rest of his team is dead then tries to come out and save the game up against 4 or 5 ships. Drives me nutts!!!!
I WANT Iowa to be a good ship but I havn't had a good game in that ship in a long time. I condiser Iowa "middle of the road" these days - just okay but Kansas is significantly better. The armor and speed seem fine but it's like they gradually screwed up the guns robbing Iowa of her main strength, accuracy. At least my Iowa. Someone with better rng probably gets a lot more from her. I actually think Massachusetts is a little more accurate than Iowa.
This is one hard choice everyone loves Iowa but she’s not as Accurate as she used to be Alabama however she is extremely accurate she obliterated everything in her path I’m glad I got her
Iowa is still a very capable ship, is it what it used to be? Or has the other BB’s got better to make the gap between Iowa and then less so it doesn’t seem as OP. Now that’s the question
For a while there I thought Peek and A Aron were getting a divorce. It's good to see they worked it out. I was worried about who would get custody of the big-screen TVs and gaming consoles. And if they separated I'm not sure who would get custody of you Spartan. Lmoa. I'm totally kidding man! 🤙
Yeah peek and Aron nit pick the American bbs cause of there "slow" and "terrible dectability" but American have ap shells that over pen and penetrates everything. Even bow tanking yomato. So if don't like the American ships then don't play them. Same for other countries
Are they ever going to balance DD’s? Literally entire matches are determined on who has smarter and remaining DD’s. I’m getting really tired of it. Probably will just drop the game again…
It's sad that you have to defend your love of American ships by constantly pointing out and showcasing how good they are to you, and not just the American bias to American ships thing, as if being or liking America is bad.......but liking China or Russia or Nazi Germany is a good thing. So weird.
I remember when Iowa used to be the deadliest battleship in Legends. Used to be very OP. But that was about 2000 years ago :)
Haha she still is a beast
@@SpartanElite43 if I remember right Iowa is a T9 on PC and the Alabama is a T7 or T8 so Iowa is a Legendary disguised as a T7 lol
lol
This reminds me of the attack on Titan reference
It seems USS Iowa is your favorite tech tree Tier 7 battleship. Mine is the Bismarck.
Love my American bbs love them both Kansas is up there as well.
I was young and the new jersey came to Sydney once best ship I have ever walked on. She did a broadside off Sydney heads was amazing to hear it
That's Awesome!
I saw the missouri in 88
Nice mate so informative,you can be so funny in some vids and the really consice in others like the way you mix it up. I really enjoy the content mate
Yeah it depends on the type of video I want to do.
My channel is primarily entertainment but I can definitely be informative when it is required

Great Video Spartan. Very prophetic and intelligent presentation. Seriously.
Thank you for all your hard work on the vids Spartan. Appreciate you my friend 👍🏻
My pleasure!
I've been playing the Missouri and Alabama a lot lately and I just find the Missouri suits me better.
It hits harder and that radar is great on DDs that don't expect it.
Same here. I got Missouri back in late May of last year and she has managed to get me some pretty close clutch shots and moments against destroyers.
I actually had a game a few days ago where I was in a yorck and torped an iwoa that didn't even try to dodge so I hit all 6 torpedoes and I somehow survived a salvo from that iowa when I was nearly flat broadside

Azur lane new jersey is coming soon and it's a actual ship to buy not a skin for iowa
@@Bcd31997 and I’m so damn excited for it brotha! I’ll have half of the sisters in port at least lolz 😆

Hey spartan, I need your honest opinion. What do you think of Florida. I'm thinking of getting it. But I need to know if it's worth it.
Florida has some upside but they are drowned out by her weaknesses
On my last account I had the Iowa but I didn’t know how to play it
Couldn't agree with you any more about play styles for other players and ships spartan. Good game
Keep up your good work
I was a massive fan of the Iowa yrs ago it took me ages to finally get her and I love it that much it’s a still a virgin in my collection never used it once I don’t want it to get damaged and still have it never used once. Is that weird Spartan having that much love for a battleship.
It is great fun to look at your videos. I could watch this for hours.
Happy to hear that!
IOWA ALL THE WAY!
Nice one… Iowa rocks! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!

Honestly you can't really go wrong either way, they both are truly great ships.
What would u say best set up and commander for the iowa without a special commander
William Sims with Cunningham and Di Revel
@@SpartanElite43 and wat mods and talents on the commander
Been sailing mass since thanksgiving
Idk both are great in there own way but me being loving the Iowa class more I’ll take the Iowa hey spartan question are you getting the new AL New Jersey commander and ship
Awesome video Spartan
Glad you enjoyed it
Not sure how I missed this video but here I am🎉
Hey spartan elite43 did you hear that Azur lane New Jersey ship is coming to the game on Monday plus New Jersey commander as well
Yep I'll be getting it for sure
Me too
I don’t know how this happened but yesterday I citadeled an FDG at 17.4 km in my Iowa and did 35k damage
Nice
FDG gives up alot of citadels

Umm if you don’t have either Bama or Mass yet, I’d go with Mass. It has the more unique play style, and it’s similar enough to Bama.
Bama has much better main battery guns. Mass still very good.
@@jaredandrews970they’re better, but I wouldn’t say much better. They’re more accurate, but from my experience the Mass is still accurate enough with the plotting room mod equipped
Honestly Bama, Mass, Azuma all great choices

I dont have the Alabama but I really like my Iowa. Lil’ question, is there any way i can send my 6 kill West Virginia game to you?
I appreciate it and you can send it to me at spartanelite43@gmail.com
Taking the bama just because the maneuverability. Game first drop Iowa all day, but since u get farmed threw the super structure and between the guns and rng no thanks
I am about to get the U.S.S. Iowa soon.

I know kinda off subject but you touched on it briefly whe you utilized all your repairs.
Wait wait wait, people actually consider Iowa a bad ship?
Some people...
I'd call it a dead heat between the two but if it was Iowa vs Kansas, i would pick Kansas.
I would also pick Kansas. The extra turret can be a real game changer. Iowa does look way nicer though.
Sad to say I had a terrible game. Took a torp and sunk by the Lighting's guns. Did try to hit Peek with torps but nothing. GG
Gg

Iowa a beast but I just finally unlocked the Alabama with gxp woooo love it

@@SpartanElite43 noice indeed sir lol
Yeah, I'm an Iowa guy. She's my Baby.
A great ship
Iowa is still a very capable ship, is it what it used to be? Or has the other BB’s got better to make the gap between Iowa and then less so it doesn’t seem as OP. Now that’s the question
Yeeaaa I'm gonna go with the South Dakota class Alabama. It's just more tanky and it Packs a Punch
Definitely not more tanky than Iowa
I think my sharnhorst has the longest range maybe hms warspite
For a while there I thought Peek and A Aron were getting a divorce. It's good to see they worked it out. I was worried about who would get custody of the big-screen TVs and gaming consoles. And if they separated I'm not sure who would get custody of you Spartan. Lmoa. I'm totally kidding man! 🤙
I own both and yes Iowa is better by far
I say Massachusetts!
What about new Jersey
Comes out Monday I believe
uh-ohs, guns in vid. yt doesn't want any guns in vids.
Alabama is definitely better
Hey Spartan 👋
Hey
Damn.. I am a few thousand xp from iowa
Old bama
Yeah peek and Aron nit pick the American bbs cause of there "slow" and "terrible dectability" but American have ap shells that over pen and penetrates everything. Even bow tanking yomato. So if don't like the American ships then don't play them. Same for other countries
What are you talking about... I'm always praising American Battleships
@@SpartanElite43 I know you do but I'm talking other players on Facebook and RUclips who keep talking trash on Montana and others
Both are better I think
Is the massachusetts better than both of these?
Mass is very good but I'd say on the same level as Alabama and I prefer Iowa over both of them
Iowa all day everyday
I’m just 6k free xp away from buy Alabama
