Cheers for the reply, I don’t mind if it’s ‘late’ or not. These look to be interesting reads, ironic that it would seem the best ship in the game may be Soviet despite their historical inability to build anything resembling a super dreadnought.

Yes not the problem with KGV, my concern is mostly that as there is still no flooding and irrepairable breaches seem to be inconsistent there’s no way to quickly kill Bismarck or even fatally wound her through flooding, meanwhile Bismarck will be slinging off some excellent 15" shells every 26 seconds whilst KGV may be unable to even take out her turrets or reloading mechanisms.

HE Spam may work against the AA though.

317

Definitely not. Project 23 class has its shell room above the waterline and magazine directly below the waterline(like Yamato), even worse than that of Kronshtadt. And without angling, and with recent penetration buff, even KGV could penetrate Project 23’s side armor with ease.

Bismarck’s turret is weaker than Scharnhorst(thickness is same but vertical part is much larger than those of Scharnhorst’s). Of course it is not an easy fight for KGV to fight against Bismarck, but actually with close range(and considering displacement), Bismarck is level against Iowa, Yamato, Lion, not a Colorado, Nagato, KGV class.

Nelson’s deck armor was upgraded in 1938

That’t true. I meant to refer to the proposed deepening of the side armour.

Besides, that upgrade was outside of the citadel anyway.

Developers had confirmed that this is a bug and will be fixed in the near future.

321

You mean new AP penetration?

322

Yes

323

Does that include a look at SAP. Doesn’t feel right on our light cruisers

Nah. SAP’s didn’t change that much in recent changes. Their penetrations are low before, low now, and low in future.

325

AFAIK their performance in game closely matches real life records

326

Just feels like they don’t do anywhere near as much damage as they did before the recent overhaul

327

Wish next event vehicle is HMS Rodney. Next event starts at June 18th(or June 17th), day when HMS Rodeny replace HMS Nelson to go Normandy again, and this month’s theme of War Thunder is focused on Operation Overlord.

I’d take anything British at 6.7 or above at this point.

Literally any of the options work for me.

If its Rodney, sure so long as Nelson is added too

Watch it be an initial build Type 12I Leander class buried at the end of the coastal tree

Yes please! I hate having anything be time-limited, but seeing as we have two of her sisters in the tree it’s not so bad, and selfishly it would get me the one high-tier Russian ship I want without needing to grind through the cruisers and battleships.

 

I certainly don’t want to see one of two Nelson-class ships locked away as an event vehicle…

Honestly I dont mind anything since Im pretty sure I will grind this event with no problem. Usually I would opt for a non copy paste but since Im grinding russia as well atm, I will gladly take free 6.7 battleship with AA lol

Do you guys think that the Revenge-class is contemporary-ish to the Nagatos and Colorados? I know that technically their contemporaries are the Nelsons, but I also think that the Revenges and Queen Elizabeths would be decent contemporaries as well.
