Bow is easily overmatched by Yamato's 460mm rifles.Improper angling will lead to many penetrating and citadel hits. Her armour isn't quite as good as advertised.

Her citadel sits very high over the waterline, extending from beneath the full length of the #1 turret to the #3 turret.Small 710m turning circle and fastest turning rate of any of the mid to high tier USN Battleships.Excellent levels of anti-aircraft firepower.Responsive turret rotation at 4.5º per second.Powerful, long range guns with a 21.1km reach and good vertical dispersion.Massive anti-torpedo bulges which provide 49% damage reduction - the 2nd best value in the game.This combines to make a North Carolina that's both more agile and more fragile than you might otherwise be accustomed. Alabama feels like a weird amalgamation of the Colorado's ability to turn, North Carolina's guns and Iowa's 0.6.2 fragility.
