In the 1980s all four were recommissioned and heavily upgraded with missiles and electronics to counter the Soviet nuclear battlecruisers (Kirov-class). USS New Jersey first since she had already has some modernization in 1968. They were decommissioned following the Gulf War and are now museum ships.

Notably they got decomissioned due to their high upkeep and comparably poor maintanance state over the years where they have been decomissioned.
Leading to an incident where Iowa's Turret #1 randomly exploded. (I wonder if she will refer to it in her hourlies if she is the ship we will get

)

YES, I'll have 5 uninterrupted days to save earth from tyrannical ayys as Zero Lelouche Commander of XCOM before I get to work farming shipgirls

*looks at current resources* Well, I've cleared previous events with far less resources, this should be a piece of cake.

You say that now but in reality you will play XCom forget totally about the time and then 'damn I should ghave done something in Kancoll' or 'Damn its that late already?!' <-- personal experience

To contribute something to the actual thread though there is a picture of an unused armor piece intended for Shinano (yamato configuration apparently) that was used for a test shot by an Iowa class vessel being 13km away. Seeing that only reinforced my suspicion that in a battle you wouldn't want to be on board of either of those two ship classes.

I guess the true usefulness of the gun ingame will be decided by whether it is upgradable or not.

Ithekro · 2016-01-25, 08:15

The Iowa-class has the longer barrels of the American 16" gun battleships. (also longer than Nagato's barrels) They also used superheavy AP shells. 2,700 pounds (1,225 kg). While not as heavy as Yamato's 18.1" AP shells, they would be enough to do the job at most ranges.

Oh crap. The event HAD to fall on a busy period for me. I'll need to speed clear it within 3 or 4 days at maximum. Hoping it will be possible.

usspaul · 2016-01-26, 14:18

A new kanmusu who is scheduled to grace the browser version this spring will have her debut earlier in the Vita version as a reward of completing the Vita version in certain difficult.

What do they mean by "completing the game" in the context of Kancolle anyway?

We aren't talking about the browser version here; there is no evidence to suggest we can transfer our progress from browser to Vita. The Vita version is a seperate entity and may feature a finite campaign and thus an end. Not unlike XCOM or Gihren's Greed.

Hopefully this would mean a proper storyline as well

*sees his new sig*

Oh wait I do that to myself already

And I would like to play an XCOM-style Kancolle game, complete with base management, permadeath, 6-man squad limit, RNG moments-

Wait a minute, Kancolle already has those

Though Kancolle doesn't have actual turn-based tactics though, which is a bummer...

abc0716 · 2016-01-27, 08:58

Just found out shipgirls of Arpeggio of Blue Steel did crossover on Kancolle a long time ago.

Hope they could relaunch the collaboration event on future, although the possibility is very low...

So, if I get it right, we may have details about the kanmusu who will be in the spring event from the Vita game?

You know - I don't need to see what it does ingame to know that the new Sectopod would cause people to rage horribly if there was a XCom 2 X Kancolle corssover :P.

But I agree base building a la Xcom would be a nice addition to Kancolle.
Well aside from the additional ressource consumption
