You say that, but the Russians are likely due to get the HMS Royal Sovereign which they operated under the name of Arkhangelsk
She’s an Revenge-Class Battleship armed wth the same 15" guns as Hood, Barham, Renown, Repulse, etc. Now whether they would all get fixed or just the Arkhangelsk is of course unknown
put you hand in the air if the russians will get a revenge class BB before britain
Im still impressed they havent already gotten it, but if every nation is due a new rank VI this year. I dont think they are or the German have gotten one yet. So that would be my guess on what they would get
Top Gun, Proper Navy
style…
HMS Carlisle, 11 air kills and counting.
Commissioned on Armistice day 1918 as a traditional C Class Light Cruiser in WW1 her 1938/9 refit saw her become an AA stalwart with her 5x single BL 6-inch Mk XII guns replaced by 8x twin 4’inch Mk XIX. Move forward to 1944 she added HE-VT which would be my chosen point of additional.
She would act like a shrunken Atlanta (or a beefed up HMS Mohawk), fill the currently empty slot #3 between Diana and Dido at 5.0, and add a nice new camo…whats not to love?
well somtimes they hold it back for “ballance”
Yes Gaijjn can do as they please, but its highly unlikely if you look at the other VT users. Limiting to HE-TF would cripple her ro almost uselessness, little more than a fat 4" DD, and Abdial is enough to fill that role! If thats what they want there are plenty of original 6" C class options thay would make far more sense.
well they have stolen the VT rounds of renown for “ballance” dispite the american BB’s
But secondaries on BBs are a very different case to a dedicated AA Cruisers primaries.
well it has been told to us that she is not getting the shell for ballance and VT is much better for manual use than TF
Its still not even in the same ballpark. You cant compare a 4" Light Cruiser with a 15" Battlecruiser 2BR above it.
@Magiaconatus is renown not getting HE-VT going to be a norm for all other british battle ships and battle cruisers to come with them not getting it
And no one was shocked.
The question is do we
A) Get a Revenge-Class ourselves
B) Get a QE-Class in WW2 refit
C) get both
D) Get nothing
E they remove hood
Well… if the last few days of me playing top tier BBs (Mostly Barham with a bit of Hood). It feels like they already have. Id have more success trying to sink enemy ships with potatos
well what is even better they are adding another BB to japan
Д — Get a small boat without gun
I’d take a frigate like a Type 21 with a SAM system :D. Especially if the reason it had basically no gun was EXOCETs :P
Buccaneer from the navy, but don’t have any weapon
Man the russian tree getting our ship before we get it would be insane. At least just add Royal Sovereign as well
