Although I'm a die hard USN fan, I understand that Georgia is probably not up to everyone's standards. Georgia is good because she has 18 inch guns, they reload fast, but her small number of guns (2 guns x 3 turrets layout) means it really does hurt when you miss. If you are familiar with Massachusetts, play Georgia like an up-tiered and up-gunned Massachusetts. Her secondaries are even better if you like a secondary built BB. Not to mention that Georgia borrows Massachusetts fast acting Repair Party and secondary batteries. She's the only US BB to get Engine Boost, which can either get you in trouble or out of it. Georgia can tank some ships, just not the Yamato. Until the tier 10 USS Ohio battleship comes out, Georgia is the only way for us USN players to fight back with our own 18 inch guns.
Basically, if you enjoy Massachusetts, like Engine Boost, and want 18 inch US guns, Georgia is the ship for you. The coupon should help reduce that 228,000 coal price tag.
