I'm playing a game using the USS Montana next Friday, and as i have OOB not yet, can please somone give me the stats for this US battleship class?
Many thanks

Montana didn't make it into OOB

IIRC there were some Montana stats posted here a few months ago. If you do a "search" for the ship I expect they'll pop up.

Thanks for your reply DM. I found the stats, but I think at least the crew rating og 85/25 is wrong considering that USS Iowa has 115 crew and even USS South Dakota has 90.
So if this is wrong i am not sure about the damage of 52/18.
Can you please help me here

 

[DM]

OK, can you post what you found here and I'll take a look

 

[AdmiralBob]

This is what I found:
Armour 6+
Target 4+
Speed 6
Turning 1
Hull Damage 52/18
Crew 85/25
Aircraft 3
Armoured Deck
Radar
Torpedo Belt
4 Turrets Range 43 AD 3 DD3 SAP
Sec Arm Range 12 AD 6 DD 1
AA Range 8 AD18

Many thanks to you

Crew is OK given the complement in Conways of 2149 (so the IOWA figure is probably wrong - at a listed complement of 1921 that should work out at 76; should have spotted that one earlier, but then again I ignore the crew numbers side of VAS so thats my defence )

Damage points works out at 54 based on the displacement figures I have but having said that trying to "catch" a ships displacement is a bit like herding cats. Upshot is that the stats that you have listed there should be OK to be going on with

Many thanks for doing the research

I've had my Montana painted and based for probably 6 mo. and never have pulled it out! Gonna have to change that here soon!
