SoDak imo is better probs just cuz I have it.

Guns are identical. As are secondaries?

SoDak armor is slightly better as Flamme said with 20" deck and 25" belt(compared to 23" belt).

Speed is a few knots faster staying around 25knots compared to 22 knots.

Acceleration on SoDak is terrible. North Carolina must be better in that regard just has to.

Toughness I don't really know. Flamme out dueled a SoDak with 75% left which is impressive but I don't know how it went down. Whenever I've dueled a North Carolina in my SoDak is has been whoever has a

1) life advantage

2) better accuracy

3) first/last volley

4) luck

In that order assuming a max armor layout. Whenever I've dueled a North Carolina with us both and full health it has ended with whoever hits the first volley at extreme range and they still come out limping(1 volley from sinking)

I prefer SoDak due to armor and speed. Both hard stats. NorCar wins soft stats:accel, turning, toughness. Honestly they are so similar it's just a question of play style.
