Due in part to the miss, Nevada survived.

However, even with the high-visibility color scheme, the bomb fell about 1,700 yd (1,600 m) off-target, exploding above the attack transport Gilliam instead. To help distinguish the target from surrounding vessels, Nevada was painted a reddish-orange. Nevada was the bombardier's target for the first test, codenamed 'Able', which used an air-dropped weapon. The experiment consisted of detonating two atomic bombs to test their effectiveness against ships. As a result, she was assigned to be a target ship in the first Bikini atomic experiments ( Operation Crossroads) of July 1946. Nevada was surveyed and, at 32⅓ years old, was deemed too old to be kept in the post-war fleet. Nevada then returned to Pearl Harbor after a brief stint of occupation duty in Tokyo Bay. To give you an idea of how tough the Nevada was IRL, read this from (BB-36): My vote goes towards being a secondary ship, but that's just because I'm biased towards that playstyle. The New Mexico fits a well-rounded playstyle, whereas Arizona fits a juggernaut playstyle, so the Nevada would either have to be built around an AA or secondary focus. Being that this is an arcade game, ships can't just be mirror copycats of each other, because that's not interesting. The Nevada's would also have superior firing angles to the New York, making her way overpowered at T5.įor her to be " Balanz'd, comrad!", she'd have to be in T6 territory. Rough estimates there, but she'd be the heaviest armored BB at T5 by far. You'd have a ship with the same firepower, AA, and mobility of the New York, but the armor of the New Mexico's, which is considerably beefier: Thicker belt armor (~2"), thicker deck armor (~1.5"), slightly thicker barbette armor (~0.75"), and much thicker turret faces (~4"). Compared to the New York's, the Nevada class sported much, much thicker armor.

The New Mexico class is the first class of battleships to receive the 14"/50cal guns.

For instance, the 14"/45cal guns that the Nevada uses were first introduced in the previous New York class, which is why we see the New York at T5 and not the Nevada. Wargaming built the US BB line around the introduction of new gun models and not the class. She was quite famous so why didn't they add her? Too much t5 saturation at t5 or what?
