Just a side note, the South Dakota class consisted of four ships only:
South Dakota
Alabama
Indiana
Massachusetts
North Carolina and Washington are a separate class of much different look and structure …
Yes, but looking on stats only we will receive stock North Carolina with a bit more HP…
I believe it\’s just a minor mindfuck by the guy who compiled this, stuff like this always happens when I translate for Seb
Glad to see the great U.S.S. Alabama being put into the game, any idea when it will actually go live?
Also, Washington deserves a Premium spot in WoWs way more than Alabama.
True – Washington or Battleship X (South Dakota) should be in game… maybe they will be the second branch of US BBs ? with paper wariant of Montana and Alaska/Guam?
Not really, they can put it in after the Alabama.
Someone need to tell WG to stop realeasing premiums for USN and Rasha for a long time.Still waiting for English Italian or even French ships
Italian and French ships?
The blame could be in archives not giving the information WG needs.
Or in destroyed/lost archives.
Saw this hentai tentacle ship icon on an asian leak blog for Alabama:

It starts to be totally silly now with amount of premium ship that WOWS produces. It is already a comical thing.
Here me out:
If you like USA battleships you can have battleship for every tier from 4 to 8 with only one captain for all that ships being i do not know … with max captain points pretty soon with that rate of experience earning.
4 – Arkansas Beta (premium), 5 – Texas (premium), 6 – Arizona (premium), 8 – soon premium Alabama and you need only one ship from normal tree – tier 7 Colorado.
And … if Missouri will be premium in terms of captain not being forced to be trained on that it is even more comical because it is from tier 4 to tier 9 with only one captain for ALL OF THAT SHIPS. OMG … come one … we need only tier 7 usa battleship premium Colorado clone and … why you even need normal lines in that game 😀 … lol …
I am not against WOWS – i like that game 100 much more than i ever liked WOT but … it is just comical 😀
South Dakota class have better overall armor profile (like sloped sides) than NC and add to that 50% torp protection.
it have only worse AA, so maybe it will get \”better\” in one of things for with NC is Famous: \”dispersion\”
