When stock, your engine speed limits you to a modest 28.8 knots.This first hull costs you 45,000 experience. Most important, this upgrade is necessary before you can acquire your Rangefinder upgrade. This also increases your AA DPS from 450 to 613. This provides an immediate boost to your ship's maximum hit points by adding 10,900hp to your stock 68,100hp. The first upgrade you should unlock is her first hull upgrade.Long range fire once more puts your citadel at risk. American Battleships are notorious for their weak deck plating. Without the ability to overmatch her bow (a trait limited to the Yamato presently), she will bounce most shells that strike her. When angled and at medium to close range, she can rest assured that she's safe enough from any citadel penetrations provided she can keep no more than a 30' angle towards her opponents. The narrow strip of shorter plates denotes the upper height of the Iowa's citadel - painting a ready "aim here" bulls eye for shooting. For height, it can be clearly seen by looking at the outer deck plating along the hull. It can be found starting beneath her first turret and it stretches all of the way back to her last turret. It's enormous and it sits very high in the water. The most glaring weakness of the Iowa is the position of her citadel. The same cannot be said with her new competition. The Iowa can receive citadel hits easily at some angles. However, with the arrival of the German Battleships there's definitely a new standard on what constitutes "good" armour protection. The Iowa must not brawl because of her fragility.
