Missouri uses the same engine as Iowa, with 40 knots max on the BB engine with 233300 bhp. The speed cap is easy to hit with regular bve crew. Stop ruining the ship with other random engines.
If you think that elite engineers will bump it up to 42 knots, I dont think you should be using elite engineers at all.
To answer some of the previous questions:
@ Tea_Time
The Missouri does not have as much displacement for bulge/belt as the Iowa if you wish to stay at 40 knot overheat. This means that you will need to strip away much more weight to try to run it at 42 knot (maybe even the rear gun). So far, I have not experimented much, but was not able to make it go 42 knots even with TWO open T sailor slots.
@dnaa
The Missouri uses the exact same guns as the Iowa, so the range is the same. They did not make any new gun sets for the EBBs.
