Maybe if they dropped the torps in exchange for the same number of 100mm guns as Shikishima it would be enough. Basically she doesn't have the secondary strength or survivability to brawl, nor does she have the armour to sustain in close ranges, and her torpedo DPM is worse than the Germans. Yes she gets 12km Shima torps of 1 quad launcher per side, which reload every minute and a half and are spotted form orbit. This means their RoF is atrocious and contributes nothing to the secondary DPM of the class. The other problem comes in the form of the 155s will have trash firing arcs and they're the same ones as on Izumo, Yamato and Shikishima. Unlike Shikishima which has a Harugumo strapped to either side, Iwami has an Akizuki strapped to either side, so when one of those turrets gets knocked out (its a Japanese secondary turret, it'll get knocked out with the first volley of HE thrown at it) it'll be stuck to being a 100mm armed Harekaze per side which drastically drops its already low secondary DPM. Not to mention Iwami's secondaries have a base range of 7km instead of the standard 7.6 you see around Tier 9, which means a secondary spec'd Izumo (I ran my Izumo like that, actually succeeded) can outrange you. I mean, yeah, the German Battlecruisers are squish AF, however, they at least have speed and amazing secondaries + guns to make up for it. It's coated in 32mm plating while having a vulnerable citadel (probably Yamato levels of vulnerable). So its apparently supposed to be brawling orientated, but everything else screams no. The 8-gun setup is either A-140B2 or A-140DĪ-140D is the only one there that's 8x410mm guns as well.Īccording to the dev blog its supposed to have powerful secondaries, torpedoes and strong guns at close range (The base range makes sense).
