Battle wagon

It seems the BB is not as robust as I thought it would be. Easier to sink considering it's the Iowa Class. The Iowa Class it the best designed of WW II. 

 Maybe this should have been put in General Discussion.

14k to sink it.  That's pretty robust, no?

You don't need to sink it. Just take out the 16in batteries and it's a large ack barge. With Hitech adding a random 200yd offset when you click on the map in land mode, the shore battery has an advantage if the battle ship captain brings his ship in close enough so the 16in gunners can make visual corrections against the shore battery. A box of Lancs with 14 1000lb should be able to level bomb and get the 16in batteries in two passes if the pilot is good.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.
