Iowa Class Battleship

[upyr1]

I believe we are getting the Iowa-class battleships as part of the pacific asset pack, is there any chance we could at least get the 1980s configuration? Though a 1960s New Jersey would be awesome too

[Convoy]

Really need one in there. Not just for WWII, but for later scenarios too.

I thought we were already getting the Iowa class per the Previous PTO assets list before this new list came out?  I thought ED even posted pics in one of there posts of a WIP Iowa boat.  Please ED add the IOWA back into the final list.

I'm asking if we can get later configurations as well. The class (especially New Jersey) served off and on until 1992

ED has only talked about the WW2 version, nothing else at this time.
