USN BB
I vote for the Maryland. As noted, it hits hard and I believe it is a better BB then the Iowa.I've got both and I like the Maryland better. It may be a little shorter range then theIowa long range guns, but they throw a lot more shells. The long range guns for the Iowa, are darn near the worst for accuracy of all USN guns.They have a high dispersion factor. In other words, they don't group well even with high lvl accuracy gunners. The length of the Iowa requires a little more finesse in aiming.The Maryland, on the other hand, has one more turret then the Iowa so it throws a very large salvo. Being shorter length then the Iowa, it is easier to aim and concentrate firepower. The only weakness is that it has a slightly shorter range then the Iowa.Another weakness, if you can call it that, is its "coloration". Since it is an eyecatcher in a battle group, CV drivers tend to attack it with DBs or TBs and ignore more powerful BBs.Many times I've been out of range in the rear of a battle group and been repeatdly attacked by aircraft while the main line is fully engaged. I have never gotten a sevastopol, so I can't say for certain who good or bad it is...but I know I can sink them with the Maryland. |
