You can calculate this by yourself. After ballistics algorithms update the range table in game matches real life ones by less than 2-3% of error. Using real life range tables and WT’s penetration calculator you get the supercharged 15" APC to outperform Rodney’s 16", on par with Lion’s Mk.II 16" and Bismarck’s 38cm. Ofc not at a superb level but I won’t doubt it being more or less sufficient in most of WT’s engagement ranges.

As for Bismarck, forget about its turtleback much like Schanrhorst’s. They both have magazine over shell room layout and fairly short barbettes, so Bismarck is likely to share the same vulnerability to fire in the ammo elevators like Scharnhorst atm.

and besides, the meta strategy is to just send a wave of Swordfish against it

Im hoping and coping the 15 inch guns on the Vanguard get a 25 second reload

That’s not too bad, plus great speed, decent armor when angled, great ammo position, great AA. Should be s solid ship. And this is not the last option for Britain.

Do you think KGV will be better?

That’s good news about Bismark. Looks like it won’t be that hard to deal with. Because the spam will be crazy.

KGV would have better armour than Vanguard but significantly worse firepower. She will struggle against those tough meta ships likely coming this update.

It’s a shame Britain didn’t build them a touch bigger with the on paper designs for the BL 15"/45 MK.II and the 30 knot speed.

But treaties and all that. Certainly would’ve helped us out here though xD.

2462

and that is where a 1942 lion could come in nicely

does anyone have access to plans of lion or Temeraire as I know they have similer levels of armor to the KGV’s but with more GUN

2464

No they aren’t. Actually, not all ships that leaked will be in this update.

2465

They’re pretty much larger KGV’s with different turrets and a transom stern.

They’re also faster which is nice.

2466

we could also use them to test how far the just because it was laid down it can be added goes as they were laid down but then with the plans getting changed more than once what is the wildest one that could get added

2467

The 1942 ones are downgrades. We don’t want them.

The 1944 ones are upgrades depending on which ship, and the guns were built like for the A-150 super Yamato.

2468

So they made the right choice going for Vanguard if all other big ships are coming.

2469

How do you know? So which ships are coming, or not coming?

2470

Same thing happened in 2021, and while for years passed, still some ships sleep in modelling-only.
Also, lots of ships in CDK are far from completed even in exterior modelling.

2471

Well not exactly the same. That was just a random leak in 2021.
This time we have a leak list for the next update (from trustable leaker) to back it up.
Also CM’s post a hint about “superior, iconic, big, vast and yottabyte” ships coming in the next update.
Or Sovetsky Soyuz, Iowa, Bismarck, Vanguard and Yamato.

I think they’re more likely to come than not. Obliviously some may won’t get finished in time. So that’s possible.

Too OP for a 7.0 premium.

2474

I just read that the four 16 inch guns intended for the Lion class that were made, were used FOR TRIALS on the Isle of Grain and Shoeburyness between 1945 and 1947. Including flash less propellant trials.

Do we have any original documents on that?

2475

Anyone got ideas for the coastal branch?
