Here's our First Look at Tier VIII American battleship USS Kansas. Put alongside her sister in the tech tree - USS North Carolina - I'm really struggling to see the appeal of this ship. She's slower, with less damage output and more vulnerability to incoming high explosive rounds. Personally, this sounds like a recipe for pain. Let's look around and see what else we can see.
