I’m struggling to find a good battleship line to grind in World of Warships. I’ve tried the US battleships, but I couldn’t stand how slow they were and their ballistics. The German Bismarck line was equally disappointing; I got bored with how they played. I also tried the Italian line up to Doria but found their guns too weak, often hitting only 80% of the time, along with poor health and armor. I’m really looking for a battleship line that isn’t a pain to grind. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you want decent survivability and good guns. If that’s the case, check out the American fat battleships like the Kansas or Minnesota. The Minnesota is pretty solid at tier 9, and while they’re slow, they’ve got great ballistics and can take a beating.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a really solid line, give the USSR battleships a go starting at tier 5. They can tank well and have powerful guns, especially when you reach the Kremlin. Just know that some players really dislike the Riga cruiser, but the battleships are a blast!
If you’re comfortable with a bit of slowness in exchange for firepower, try the IJN Yamato line. They have great guns and decent armor when not broadside, but they’re tricky to handle! You could check out how the Colorado and North Carolina play too. I think you’ll find them kinder than you think!
You can’t have it all when it comes to battleships. They are already the strongest class in the game. I’d suggest you adapt a bit! You might not be cut out for the battleship playstyle if you’re finding so many issues. But hey, maybe try out the North Carolina or Iowa—they’re solid choices at tier 8!
I wasn’t asking for everything, just good guns and survivability without all these issues. It seemed like a better tradeoff before I switched to the Italian line!
You might be quitting too early! The US battleships start getting significantly faster at tier 8, and they become much more enjoyable. As for the German battleships, they are definitely unique—just might need a different playstyle. If you’re looking for a different experience, you could consider the Soviet battleships, but they do have accuracy issues at range. Just keep an open mind!
