Here's our First Look at Tier IX American battleship USS Minnesota. Continuing up the new American battleship branch we come to this ship at Tier IX. It's safe to say I hate the idea of this ship less than I hate the idea of Kansas one tier lower. For starters, she's not a straight downgrade in terms of potential damage the way Kansas is; Minnesota is a side-grade, but one that doesn't offer a lot of difference in the main battery. What are her other main differences from USS Iowa? Let's find out together.
