Here's our First Look at Tier IX Premium Japanese battleship Iwami. Iwami is very clearly a variant of previous Tier IX Premium Japanese battleship Hizen. Hizen is kin to American battleships like Vermont and Minnesota, with a ridiculously long reload married to a large number of barrels. Iwami goes in a different direction, one that I like quite a bit more. Join me and I'll highlight the other differences between the two ships.
