Ok, that is our opinion, for now, so thank you for stopping by and have a nice day. Nah not really, but in a nutshell that is what it seems like for now. So what happened here. We are presented with a split in the tech tree for American Battleships after tier VII Colorado, with three new ships and a premium tier VII they are Kansas, Minnesota, and Vermont, did I mention the tier VII premium Florida? Well at first glance these ships seem to be heavy in firepower, looking at the Alpha damage, but with a 40 second reload this will be a difficulty to make a difference in the game. And this even comes with a cost of low survivability with its slow speed and thin armor. Ok, so you like to stay at range and shoot things with big guns? [once every 40 seconds] Then you are in luck my friend with these ships, for now, it does not seem to be a ship you can play alone, and it does not look like you can defend a flank, but maybe in there is its strength. You will have to play in division or teams

American Battleships are tested. These ships will have good firepower and devastating salvo's, but with a long reload and relatively low armor. See the pictures below and their preliminary stats!
