'''Damage by shell explosions'''
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0 0 0.8em 0; width:100%; color:inherit;"
Tier X ''BA Montana'' is, at first glance, basically a supersized ''[[Iowa]]'' with an additional triple mount turret and thicker belt and deck armor. Her offensive capability relies on her heavy broadside to smash enemy battleships or destroy anything smaller should the rounds connect. She has the 3rd heaviest broadside and one of the best DPM of any battleship in the game. Although her guns are the second smallest of her fellow Tier X battleships her super-heavy shell (SHS) AP rounds do as much damage as the 420mm guns on ''[[Großer Kurfürst]]'' (while firing faster and more accurately) and exceed the AP damage of ''[[Conqueror]]''. Her HE rounds are also decent, but characteristically weaker than Japanese and British HE but stronger than the high explosive found on German battleships. She also has an extremely powerful anti-aircraft suite and is more than capable of protecting herself from lower-tiered aircraft carriers, but will likely require the assistance of teammates to fend off a determined strike by a Tier X flattop.

While she can reach a top speed of 30 knots, her large size and slow rudder shift time make her vulnerable to torpedo attack.  Further, her main battery of 16-inch guns are not able to overmatch the 32mm thick bow armor found on most Tier IX and X battleships like ''[[Yamato]]''’s main battery can.  This means that ''BA Montana'' captains may sometimes be forced into firing high explosive shells at well-angled enemy battleships.


The dispersion of her main guns has been improved since the game launched, but her dispersion is still worse than ''Yamato''’s even after the {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2}} upgrade is installed.  They are, however, more accurate than ''Großer Kurfürst''’s main battery at range while having a slower turret traverse (45 seconds versus ''Kurfürst''’s 40 seconds).  Her secondaries are not as numerous as those of her Tier X counterparts, but they are better armored. Cruisers firing high explosive rounds are far less likely to destroy her secondary battery turrets, something that ''Yamato'' and ''Kurfürst'' cannot claim.  Additionally, they have have the best rate of fire and the highest fire chance of all Tier X battleship secondary guns.
<!-- Add the ship code here to populate the upgrade table -->
{{Ship Upgrades Section|code=PASB820_BA_Montana}}


''BA Montana'' is a "jack of all trades" battleship.  With that said, in a close-range fight she will easily outpace ''Yamato''’s turret traverse, though not that of ''Kurfürst''.  While at range she will be more accurate than ''Kurfürst'' but not as accurate as ''Yamato''.  Flexibility is her strength.


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
<!-- Consumables have to be tagged individually on a slot by slot basis -->
* Joint third strongest AP broadside in the game
{{Ship Consumables Section|consumables=
* Great main battery range
* '''Slot 1:''' {{Damage Control Party}} (20.0s action, 80.0s cooldown)
* Good main battery firing angles allow for fairly effective angling
* '''Slot 2:''' {{Repair Party}} (4 charges, 28.0s action, 80.0s cooldown, 635.6 hp/s)
* Very good main battery accuracy with the {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2}} upgrade
* '''Slot 3:''' {{Spotting Aircraft}} (4 charges, 100.0s action, 240.0s cooldown) '''or''' {{Patrol Fighter}} (3 charges, 60.0s action, 90.0s cooldown)
* Nice durability - good hitpoint pool, deck armor, and main belt armor
* Strong AA defenses
* Improved {{Repair Party}} consumable heals 32% more damage per second than her peers (not counting ships with access to {{Specialized Repair Teams}})
* {{UU Montana}} provides a noticeable rudder shift improvement, as well as better resistance to fires and floods, at the expense of some concealment
 
|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Poor HE damage output and fire chance
* Very slow rudder shift, worst among Tier 10 battleships
* Very vulnerable to citadel penetrations when showing a full broadside
* Secondaries are rather ineffective and should not be relied upon
* Poor concealment
* Does not have any unique gimmicks going for it
