To those worried about USN powercreep, let's look at how the German and Italian capitol ships have been handled: Are they usually statistically superior to their IJN counterparts? Yes. Are there a lot of them? Nope. It's been, what, 2 years since Bismarck was introduced? No sign of Tirpitz, years on. The devs know she and her equips are powerful as fuck, yet they're not easily attainable in normal circumstances. It's a similar story with the VV class and Prinz, too.

Up until this point, foreigners have been implemented as  guest appearances. I highly doubt that'll change with the USN. We likely won't have a big flotilla of 'em, just Iowa-class and 3-4 more of her friends to join her. Her gun won't become the new standard issue BB gun to replace all of our 41s. And we'll probably only get 1-2 copies of Enterprise's planes, ever. ...Yes, it hurts, I know. The devs aren't desperate enough to go the Warship Girls (aka China Kancolle) route just yet. After the Murricans, we've still got the Brits to go...
