World of Warships - First Look: Tier X American Battleship USS Louisiana
138Here's our First Look at Tier X American hybrid battleship USS Louisiana. Louisiana is the ultimate in the American hybrid battleship concept, a marriage of Midway's dive bombers to Montana's hull and main battery. Whether or not the end result is a ship that is enjoyable to play remains to be seen. Let's take a tour together and see what we can discern about how Louisiana will perform.
