Those are only cosmetic fires though

Took a look at rodney again:
Her magazines are in the wrong locations
It should be between the turrets and not around them and deeper down

Also another thing i just found out:
HMS Nelson got a major armour rework in 1937 which Rodney sadly didnt get

Can’t wait for them to add Nelson w/ better armor in an event instead of TT

A boat load more AAA as well I think
I mean AA really is just down to the year we would get
True, but hopefully it would be a late war fit.
They are around the turrets in real life:
However developers cannot make the DM exactly as shown in the plans because it adds up a lot of complexity while giving very little difference to gameplay, because the projection of magazine in line of incoming gun fire is always a rectangle. Besides, as explained many times, the X-ray model is only for cosmetic and does not reflect the actual DM. There’s no problem with the height of magazine either, the DM exactly matches the dimension of magazine compartments in the blueprints in side projections.

nah, actually deck armor on bow. AA difference between Nelson and Rodney makes difference since 1940 afaik(Nelson discard catapult earlier than Rodney)
Have a beautiful day with HMS Warspite and HMS Hood. Now it feels good that I can be confident in playing against Scharnhorst.
So Gaijin just give little more ‘historical’ reload buff to Royal Navy, 25 seconds for 15’’ and 30 seconds for 16’'.

IMO if HMS Glorious comes to 5.7, she should change her Mark XIIa APC with Mark Ia APC.
Not only Mark XIIa is shell that developed in interwar period so unlikely to be supplied to HMS Glorious(1919), but also almost 50% more explosive filler. Being a 5.7 ship, she usually doesn’t need such high penetration of Mark XIIa shell, rather need high damage of Mark Ia.

Many players just haven’t realised that since the DM changes implemented in Hornet’s Sting update Britain now has the strongest top tier BB line-up in battleship duels. It has 3 top competent ships (Rodney, Hood & Warspite), each of them being capable of singlehandedly taking down multiple 7.0 ships of other nations alone. Especially Hood and Rodney - these two ships are practically impossible to be sunk by gun fire if one plays them with proper tactics. There was no exaggeration - I haven’t died in Hood for a single time since December 2024, and only died in Rodney 3 times since Hornet’s Sting, of which twice were by Japanese torpedoes and once by a bomber.
However, that doesn’t mean they’re the most fun ships to play. The very slow turret training rate of the 15" ships and Rodney’s mediocre reload mean that they have limited tactical options. I often find that I get bored very quickly when playing the British top tier. Also they’re not particularly great at farming bots so I mostly focus on human players to remove threats from my teammates. Now I play them mainly for the sake of refreshing my personal records:

Is there any information about the reliability of the ballistics of the 6’’ QF Mark 5N on HMS Tiger. They are almost impossible to use at distances close to 10-11 km and further, combined with the fact that the 3-inch shells disappear after ~9.5 km. Their dispersion is even worse than 5-inch shells with close muzzle velocities.

can i ask did you also recently get hms tiger as i got her during the gambling and i have had some terrible dispersion at times
I’ll look into it because the Tigers are missing a few features. It’s on the list of things to look at. Radars and FCS inaccuracy is also on the list.

No, I’ve had it for a year or two. I’ve gotten used to the oddities of its 6-inch gun, but recently the armor-piercing shells have stopped exploding. I’ve asked about this topic at various times, but I’ve never received any useful feedback. So I decided to try again.

Unfortunately I don’t have tiger because like most of the best British ships in their class it was an event….
But might as well kick up a fuss about it now. I’ll have to see if there are any more range tables available for post 1918.
Also might be worth re addressing Nelson’s reload and the reload of the British 15” too at some point now I’m back.
