Well, because Yamato is a higher tier and better ship. A similar comparison would be 'If I have Musashi, why would I need Yamato?'. On the other hand, a direct comparison of Missouri and Alabama would yield you in wrong assumptions. If you didn't like playing Iowa on your way to Montana, you may not like Missouri either, because both have pretty much the same game play style. In the same sense, Missouri is a side-grade of Iowa.

Now Constellation joined them, too, though I can't speak of it since I don't have it.

In general tough, If you liked North Carolina, you'd like playing Massa and Alabama, too, as they are both great ships and fun side-grades. The exact answer to your question would be subjective as it really depends on personal likes. Of course I assume you know all these differences plus the tier difference. In short, combat-wise Missouri is just a slightly worse Iowa in my eyes.Įconomy-wise Missouri is tier 9 premium which earn most base credits in game (new edition was stripped of her even greater base credit income so now it is the same as all other tier 9 premium ships).Īlabama is a great ship with punchy guns, excellent maneuverability and superb torpedo belt while Missouri is a slightly less survivable Iowa with radar but still very good guns.

Missouri has slightly thicker frontal citadel armor (although it does not make any difference in most cases). Iowa has improved repair party of researchable USN battleships (28 secs x 0.66% per sec) while Missouri has standard repair (28 x 0.5). Iowa has access to spotter plane (or fighters) while Missouri does not have any plane consumable but has 9.5 km radar instead. I don't see the point of this ship really.Ĭannot really compare Missouri to Alabama, but as you had Iowa, the differences between Iowa and Missouri are: I love Alabama and have good stats in it, why get the Missouri just because its hyped up as rare. I have played Iowa on my way to Montana and my review of Iowa was that it was a ship not worth keeping so I sold it. I mean Missouri has radar but the same guns as Alabama.
