Aye but when you mentioned the tree’s you liked, you didn’t include the UK, which is the one I thought I did the best?
That’s fair, as I said, I had no idea what to do with the US, the US standard battleship kinda made it tricky as they were mostly the same but with minor differences.
Because I didn’t like Lion and Temeraire is focused on one tree, and no Rodney only Nelson, and personally thinking Vanguard should go after HMS Hood as it was required to fulfill absence of Hood.
Also moderator once saids in G3 thread that Lion class could be only in 1938 as there are no other blueprint(1942~1948 designs were all only ‘requirement’, do not left any drawings). In those case only one Lion class is possible
Thats fair, they could be split similar to Yamato and Musashi, I had them one after another as Lion would be in her 45,000 config, whereas Temeraire would be based on 16-e38, which was a direct successor.
Yes but that’s not final. Plus the design was modified and redrawn in 1944, when the guns were ordered, the guns weren’t ordered until the revised design of 1944 and therefore actually the 1938 design is more paper than the 1944 due to this, 1944 design included an increase to a maximum of 800 ft in length, a modification to the keel, the widening of the belt by an inch over the magazines, additional AA complement and increase in displacement to 65,000 tonnes.
G3 is applicable as only laid ships are mentioned in UK fleet reviews, G3 is included. We know what G-3 would look like as models exist from naval historians and Nelson.
AFAIK they were practically identical save for Rodney having no aircraft catapult meaning the already slow ships would have no way of capping points.
You have ‘official’ blueprint about it? Tzoli’s drawing is not officail you know.
What? Rodney also has catapult and keep it even longer than Nelson.
Also I suggest Nelson in 1945 and Rodney in 1941 as Rodney has catapult in those times and Nelson 1945 is the Royal Navy battleship that has best AA during WW2.
I know, but we have the official statistics around the armour scheme and we know it was based of a KGV (I can have a look for those aforementioned documents). If they have to exercise some creative liberties then so be it. So long as the stats match.
I stand corrected, this is the other way around according to https://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/nelson_class.htm#:~:text=She%20differed%20from%20Rodney%20in,throughout%20the%20second%20world%20war.
Also yes Rodney was larger.
I am still curious why you would like to see both though?
Yeah, good luck getting bombed by 9.0 jets. The whole BR for Naval, as it is, doesn’t work anymore.
Hoping the split BR system forces up a bunch of aircraft so we dont have to see them.
Japan could also get the Kii-class. In total, their remaining post-WWI capital ship options are:
As for BRs, these seem… a bit too spread out. A whole 1.3 between Nagato and Iowa seems nuts, as does and entire 1.0 between Iowa and Yamato.
