The only other difference is that you have to be wary of surprise ambushes a long-ranged snipe is also a concern, but much less of one than an ambush that will foil your attack right away. Pick your target, point your bow at him, keep the engine at full power, and handle it just like any other bow-on situation.
I would recommend trying this in Training Room before attempting it, unless you are already very familiar with how your particular ship angles. One last class of BBs I wouldn't recommend trying this against are any of T7 and lower: they can be lolpenned from the front, so rushing them is just giving a smart player the opportunity to exploit your huge citadel for massive, unnecessary damage.Īnother thing to note is that my rudder timings are designed for Iowa C with SGM2 equipped (can also be dropped onto a similarly-equipped Missouri without much difficulty) while the strategy can work with any battleship as long as your opponent doesn't have the ability to lolpen your bow, the timings will differ from ship-to-ship due to both different rudder shift times, turning circles, and firing arcs/traverse timing of the main guns (especially the rear ones) of both you and (to a lesser degree) your opponent. Of course, in some situations it won't matter, but this tactic shouldn't be universally applied to dealing with German BBs. Likewise, I recommend against trying it versus German BBs because their fast turret traverse means they could potentially catch you at a vulnerable point, not to mention their near-invulnerability to citadels. This strategy is not recommended for dealing with the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, or Tirpitz owing to their torpedoes or Yamato due to overmatch. And while Iowa's armor is not that great, it's far from unworkable. The theory of any 1v1 is to maximize damage dealt while minimizing damage taken: with battleships in particular, this places special emphasis on negating damage due to how devastating a single mistake can be at close range. Now I know I said you shouldn't brawl with the Iowa, but she's far better in close quarters than people realize.
