On paper it seems normal, with 5 dual 127mm turrets per side. Louisiana also contains a unique secondary battery layout. While not the most outstanding caliber or alpha damage at the tier, Louisiana like Montana excels at exploiting broadside targets with her main battery. Her shells are identical to Montana’s and have an alpha of 13500 on her AP shells. 6 of the guns are forward in a 2x3 layout, with a single quad turret on the stern underneath the flight deck. Louisiana has one of the most unique armament layouts in the game. Louisiana’s flight deck presents a large target for enemy ships to shoot at, and while her hull armor is decent, she will lose significant HP through her superstructure alone. Any shells that would normally miss or bounce off the deck or secondaries will most likely penetrate into the superstructure and deal damage. The side plating is a thin 19mm, and covers the entire width of the ship above the secondary mounts. While the flight deck itself has a 38mm plate which can shatter small caliber guns, it leaves a massive target for any enemy aircraft at Tier X. Her main downside is her upper superstructure/flight deck. She also features a 32mm bow and stern, giving her the ability to bounce everything up to the Yamato. Her hull armor is nearly identical to Montana, with a 259mm lower belt, 409mm belts along and above the waterline stretching almost to the deck, and a lighter 38mm plate that covers the rest of the way to the deck and partly up the superstructure. The main weakness of Louisiana is her armor layout.
Her key upgrade over her predecessor is an extra 2 barrels on her aft turret, bringing her total number of main battery guns to 10. She stands out from other battleships by sacrificing a traditional superstructure for a flight deck that can launch powerful dive bombers.
