The concrete thing would benefit the KGVs and Vanguard also. But for those ships I’m not sure if they’d ignore it as it’s a layer behind other armour.
I think Littorio would still be valid as it’s got that poor reload to balance it out
IMO what GB really needs right now is not ‘Yottabyte’ ship but historical buff in 15’’ and 16’‘, especially on their reloads. Making 25 seconds for 15’’ and 30 seconds for 16’’ will make GB better brawler than now, which is needed for most naval map modes.
Most of ‘Yottabyte’ ships on other nations will not having drastically improved armor on current most heavily armored ships, and citadel is similar or somewhat higher than those. Yamato is concerning, but it’s eternal mandate of GB who has lowest penetration among all nations, which will be not solved even when Lion class comes(Actually, I think 16’‘/45 Mark II’s penetration will be not much better than Rodney’s 16’'/45 Mark I in war thunder)

sadly the only solution for Britain is a paper ships being either the N3 or one of the suggestions for the “lion class” that went into the realms of madness
Pretty sure this isn’t legit, very realistic to be clear, but not real
I think we need to wait and see. Perhaps they’ll give Yamato massive shell dispersal for balance :D
oo what about a 60 sec reload aced
well a lot of its “real” things were already known when they put the list out
Hehe, or both :P
Seems balanced to me as British ships are the only two ships that can brawl(along with Germany). And if Kriegsmarine ships have limitation made by barbette fire spread or fragmentation spread to the magazine, Royal Navy ships will be the most suited ship for brawl.
This is why I claim for better reload, as it will be the thing that most matter in brawling.
Tbh, I want British submarines, where do I sit!? Lol.
I do wonder how what’s going to be more of a pain to fight against, yamato because of the guns, or Bismarck because of the turtleback?
Mostly the later one. Yamato would be frustrating on long range, but when you can pen, she’s giant floating match.

KGV would be different but I think pen might be an issue though better than the Japanese 14" guns. Armour would also even that out but tbh Vanguard would do fine under that regard.
I’m just hoping that if they add her they do it properly as Rodney still doesn’t feel as strong as her armour scheme would suggest. Vanguard will have better internal layouts and the shells may even be on par if she gets supercharges.
Controversial but I hope Vanguard goes after Hood though. I also hope she is given the Battlecruiser title as she has so many parallels with Hood and also when launched the tabloids who were limited on information claimed the UK had launched a new Battlecruiser.

i just hope they dont add vanguard after they started to remove some of the AAA mounts as she lost them over her lifetime but they were never replaced with alternatives like missiles or such
I would expect a '46 refit for when she commissioned or late 45 for when she left port/started sea trials, both are the same. I would also hope she receives all of the radars she carried, me and @DevilO6 found (more devil finding me interpreting if it was useful or not) some docs and advertisements on British radars, at in-game ranges I think it concluded with like sub-10 yard accuracy against capital ship targets on the surface radars. Also every single multiple bofors mounting had its own close range radar fire control which I want to see, and also each pair of twin 5.25" mountings in groups (fore port, fore starboard, rear port, rear starboard) had its own radar directors and guidance for both surface and anti-aircraft usage.
If they wish to add Vanguard this early then it should be emphasised that she was the last ever Battle-something (cruiser or ship take your pick) ever to be completed, and I wish to see the technological prowess emphasised here as a way of making sure she’s added complete.
Add her complete or don’t add her at all.
