Are we able to penetrate critical areas (barbette, turrets and magazines) on Sovetsky? I think from 6-7km we might actually not be able to.
I dont think we have anything at all that can
Soyuz’s belt is not meaningfully inclined (like 5deg or something) and its 375mm thick so anything with more than 410mm pen would have a good chance to penetrate it, and just in case you forgot supercharged 15" has well over 500mm pen at 10km

Was at the fleet air arm museum in Yeovilton today. Not much on carriers apart from some models, but quite a bit on the planes that our boats could carry, including something called the “Sopwith baby”.
Your eyes do not deceive you, those are rockets. “Le Prieur” Rockets to be precise.
Wikpedia tells me it was launched from seaplane carriers, cruisers, naval trawlers & minelayers.
No idea which cruisers it was on but it may be a very interesting sidegrade to supermarine walrus.

Will be no problem even with standard charge of 15’’ at 10 km if Soyuz is not correctly angled. Some part will be hard, like 420 mm part under first turret, but Soyuz’s armor and citadel part is opt for angling, not for pure broadside like British can try.
That’s why I always saids long range fire of conquest would be russian, and close range brawl would be british meta in this game. So don’t worry. Great Britain is much better than USA/JPN/ITA/FRA who completely lost their ‘keep range and fire’ meta to Soviet.
Besides, anyone have blueprint about current, and upcoming British capital ship’s hangar design? I have Lion class’ thanks to forum, but not well known about others.
Upcoming battleships will be with lots of hydroplane, four for Soyuz and six+one for Yamato. So Royal Navy capital ship with hangar should get at least of two as it was in real life.
Anyone got any idea why Vanguard is after Warspite and not Hood?
Anybody know why the Iron-Duke class were moved to 7.0? It seems a bit unfair for a 13.5" armed ship to be the same BR as Arkhangelsk and Barham.
Also still no R class for us, so we need to wait yet another update for our own BB.
It’s called a fast battleship but originally was a battlecruiser. I’d also wager that a LOT more people have grinded Hood than warspite. So this increases the grind. I will submit a report to have it moved, but I imagine it will be the same story as kongou

5 twin 13.5” superheavies which are only marginally worse than ww1 era 15” shells but more guns and equal ish survivability. If they decompress everything I haven’t an issue
As a joke, at this rate, I think we might receive HMS Sheffield(D80) faster than our R-class BB.

Yeah, would not surprise me in the slightest
So, first look at Vanguard
- Identical FCS to Hood
- 5.25" guns have a good RoF
- Looks like ammo racks are in the right place

Got so much stuff to do good job I’m off atm
Haha, you’re not on the dev server right?
Nope :)
In that case, shout if you want any clips, screenshots, gamelogs, etc from the dev server

Thanks, will have a look at some point and see if I can spot any errors. Survivability looks solid.
Yeah, was thinking the same. Just need to worry about plunging fire I think. Gunna try and grind her out and give her a proper go in actual matches.
At least one thing I did notice that is good. Her AAA dont seem to be affected by the new AAA accuracy changes, which makes sense given the radar
Edit, scratch that, maybe I just got lucky, tried it again, and it did have a lot of dispersal
