Considering that ingame draft is little deeper than hangar one.
So, except for rear auxiliary ammo storage, all citadels are in very safe place.
That’s pretty nice what’s the internal armour layout looking like
Going to have a go comparing it to the HMS Howe armour plans I have on Saturday evening to look if there are any differences.
(But as with Vanguard Gajin has done a quite good job modeling the armour layout correctly)

Making a County Class Destroyer Suggestion once I’ve checked out any bugs with PoW.
What do we think of the title: ‘‘County Class Destroyers: Slugging it out’’?

has anyone tried the prince of wales yet?
I might start the grind soon, but with the event coming up, im not sure i have the motivation to do both at the same time
yeah i am wanting to get the boxer kinda glad i am not interested in only the ground
I normally ignore ground events, but Britain and 10.7 is mostly what little ground I play.
Gonna get back into naval purely for her and to seek out the inaccuracies.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find anything so far that would likely be convincing enough for Gaijin to give her supercharges though. But after I play her perhaps she might not need them?
I’m not sure but it can’t hurt to try.

I played one battle on it, but I didn’t really like it. It can tank well, of course, but… The main battery turret rotation is terrible and… Well, I don’t know… It’s kind of 50/50.
Yeah, the turret rotation speed is unfortunately, British standard at 2 deg/sec, I assume the shells are pretty meh in practise, and the arcs weren’t what I was expecting. I believe the armour is also very slightly too thick everywhere but that won’t change the expected tankiness of the ship considerably.
Makes sense, was always going to be that way unless it fought ‘real’ historical counterparts, and even then, there was the potential for potentially stronger competitors.
She’s still my favourite class of course (should’ve been KGV or DoY tho IMO), so i’ll play her, just like how Hood is my vessel of choice at 7.7.
So, current Fiji’s waterline is at its lowest level.
How submerged she would become if gets full waterline?
If Fiji’s waterline were normal, ammunition would be above water.
Really hope we get a County soonish. Standfast Japan (which technically already has a missile ship) we are now the largest naval nation without a missile ship, and considering we had missiles down in 1943 as part of LOPGAP, made the first purpose built Guided Missile Destroyer (County), and maintained a pretty advanced fleet of air defence destroyers, we’re well overdue for a Seaslug/Sea Dart armed Destroyer.

They can make all the excuses in the world about why they treat Britain Air and Ground the way they do, but how they treat our naval tree is just insane.

Would be a very nice addition and my suggestion is almost done, the Russian’s do also need a proper FFG/DDG as they currently lack one of significance. This would also be a point where adding Indian vessels to the British tree may be worthwhile (AFTER DOMESTIC ADDITIONS), as they have a number of unique ships (from their Soviet derivatives) that would fit and be likely more effective than our own in-game.
Seaslug is the only missile we have that is worthwhile to add as its warhead is 91kg, Seacat has a warhead of 18kg, Seadart of 11kg, and seawolf of 14 (with no confirmed surface to surface mode iirc).
Whereas India has a few soviet systems already seen in-game such as those found on the Bravy.
The French also need Suffren and their domestic Charles F Adams equivalent, as do Japan and Italy.
I do not particularly want the Australian Charles F. Adams as its even less unique than the Indian variant of the Kashin class is compared to the Soviet type.

They like adding to many destroyers it annoys me
Bravy exists. As does the Russian end-of-the-line Coastal Boat.
Mind you, that is a Kotlin rebuild iirc.
Also, refers Lt Gen. Cedric Delves’s book on the SAS D Sqn in the Falklands, iirc the Sea Wolf was modified in such a way (unofficially) that it could be fired in an “emergency” surface to surface role. Sea Wolf should comprehensively wreck any aircraft at low level, and Sea Dart should ruin anyone in a NEZ.
