FlyingCanOpener 0 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Does the Hood have a percent-chance to be one-shot by a citadel when being hit by a Bismarck? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunday 0 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Does the Hood have a percent-chance to be one-shot by a citadel when being hit by a Bismarck? If they are going with the historically correct values, it should be 150%, at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Galbraith 0 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 She was due for a refit that would have fixed some of the plunging fire problems I gather. It would be nice if you had an upgrade that allowed you to 'fix' the problem, in return for sacrificing some speed. Hmm. Almost got me tempted to download this, and ive successfully resisted up to now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marek Tucan 0 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 That is so. I am so much lookign forward to De Grasse. Now it explains why La Galissoniere did not get the crazy dazzle I must sail the ship a lot to induce nausea in anyone trying to shoot me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Markus Becker 0 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I was expecting to see either a G3 or an N3 here - preferably both but ... Do you hear that? The sound of whining and bitching coming from the east? Could that be Yamato complaining someone else has "really big guns" too? PS: The Brits actually looked into that? In the 40s? Wow!

Wow!In the 1920s actually. Designs L2 / L3 and K2/K3 were battleship and battlecruiser (respectively) with 4x2 (L2/K2) and 3x3 (L3/K3) 18" rifles. That then got turend into the weird monsters that were G3 and N3... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markus Becker 0 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 You modified it, didn't you. The secondaries are neither Nelrod nor KGV. Vanguard? And she has way too many AA guns for a design from the 20s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Tucan 0 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 She is in the "what if built and upgraded" to fit the tier. The secondaries look probably taken from the Lion design. I mean it would be logical for RN to replace 8x2 6" LA with 8x2 5.25" HA. In any case something big bad was needed and having two Lions would have been boring... And G3 or N3 would play rather uncomfortably with the gun placement Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markus Becker 0 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Makes sense. Same 5.25" guns just different turrets. At least they look different but that could be the small screen of the phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marek Tucan 0 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I wonder if the Orion upgrade will move the foremast... AFAIK placing the mast behind the first smokestack did not really work that well once ship was underway Then again the mainmast top on Dreadnought and Bellerophons also had to be pretty bad place to be Quote Link to post Share on other sites
