One suggestion id say would be potentially removing or making a version without the middle most GMLS since it would have a very limited arc of fire given the tomahawks are right next to it. As well as that you would be able to remove the other rangefinder and controller since you've replace the older 5" guns. You already did for the forward most one, so might as well get rid of the others and use their spaces for something else.

That would be sick, I can definitely see the appeal to that.

Adding more GMLS is really only limited by the space for FCR, but I may be able to squeeze a few more in by going for a completely 5"-less version. May also add a version of the historic refit with just the ER shells added for those that just want that.

That's awesome, thanks for the quick reply.Considering this is the only Iowa kitbash that doesn't upgrade them with future tech, I'd say this is the best one so far. Thanks! (Also, maybe there can be some loadouts with all MK 13 and some with MK 42? If it's not too much, I think that would give more versatility)

Testing purposes for ship class creation on my own end. Next update will include different loadout fits as well as og Iowa names.

Also, why not use the vanilla Iowa class names?

On Foxx's idea, maybe have a couple of different loadouts, with and without TLAMs, similar to Goldleader's FY 1993 Iowa mod.

there are so many iowa proposals i would love to see !

@darkstar It's worth mentioning that having the same weapon being launched from multiple different kinds of launchers does in fact work and in particular the game is just fine at splitting harpoon salvos between the available launchers.

Awesome! Another Iowa for my massive battleship fleet.

another fine addition to all the iowas and her modded variants ww

Not a bad idea, may go for that once I get importing custom meshes down. Going to completely redo the superstructure down to the main deck level for better integration of the FCR and launchers.

Love it! Might be cool to see one that drops the remaining 5" guns for additional Mk13 or Mk22 missile launchers. Might be a challenge to find room for the additional fire control radars but it always seemed odd that there was never a ship with more than one of those launchers.That could also let you keep the TLAMs as you can also have 8 harpoons in each of those launchers.
