The Rhode Island is super fun, the guns absolutely body (even the Yamato) and if you have good shot placement you can wreck house. I had a good pacement and managed to hit 4 shots to the citidel of the Yamato absolutely crushing its health. The Secondary batteries also have a 9km range with upgrades making them incredible. You can easily get over 100k damage to otehr ships as this one likes to brawl.

Lower caliber guns plus weak armor means it's a hard ship for beginners to pick up, but the rapid reload, amazing secondaries, and the radar are very powerful at legendary tier. People also often underestimate the Rhode Island's AP, and it can cause devastating damage. Choose this over Sevastopol for sure.
