Her HE shells aren't worth mentioning outside of marginal situations, when there are no better targets to shoot than stubbornly angled BBs. The subpar ballistics performance can be a double-edged sword - on one hand, leading shots at medium and long range may be trickier than with other BBs, but on the other hand her shells have a steeper impact angle, making the AP arm more often due to it impacting more effective armor, especially when over-matching cruiser plating and BB superstructures. Moreover, her AP has very good penetration, and the main battery's accuracy is impressive - Ohio shares her dispersion pattern and sigma value with Warspite, known for her exceptionally reliable main battery. The large caliber means her AP can over-match 30 mm plating found on most Tier X cruisers' midsections, which allows Ohio to be an exceptionally effective cruiser killer. Ohio's reload time is significantly shorter than that of most Tier X BBs, which partially offsets her low salvo weight. While this may seem like an inferior main battery at first glance due to having a smaller salvo weight, Ohio's main battery brings quite a few advantages with it. Ohio's main battery consists of 8x 457 mm guns, as opposed to Montana's 12x 406 mm guns. Ohio would seem similar to Montana, as both share the same hull.
