I won't be jumping right into conclusions just yet, For starters, this gun has the rarity of 5 stars, which is the highest rarity rank given for an equipment. Granted, the pasta guns have the same rarity in its Kai version and arrived a month before Littorio and Roma, but the ranking reward was before the upgrade was even implemented.

Anyone who knows USN knews of this gun's name by heart, so there's one of the biggest bait for the USN fans there is.

Anyway, it is entirely possible that the devs might be adding this gun into the game precisely just to rein in the hype over the Allied ships, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the Iowa-class battleships are guaranteed be arriving as event rewards in the upcoming Winter Event. The devs may probably decide to save them up for much later, or even decide to forego the Iowa-class battleships entirely.

Bottom line, big guns are here, battleships, maybe if ever.
