Def 1938-38, those were the ones Laid down.
We need some space weapons against that thing
It doesn’t look like the guns will have a lot of pen.
But they should do better at the range at least.
I took the info from navweaps
Yeah, an interesting addition, but top tier naval is not in a good place currently.
I agree with Rileyy on this from a discussion on Discord

Not the worst, but one of the worst. Richelieu, and Bismark are in the same boat.
Based upon my experience with Rodney when she was new (still havent even started grinding KGV yet, so cant comment on her) Probably will be the worst for a good month or 2 due to just shockingly bad implementation
I mean survivability wise it should be identical to KGV so quite good
People seem to think it’s not lion and something older
It is Lion. The designs themselves are from 1938 so it already is old in that sense
That’s what I thought guess people being dippy
HMS Delhi - post 41 refit, a rare example of a British built ship with US mains guns.

5x 5 inch/38 Mk.12 cannon, mount Mk.30, 2x quad 49mm, 12x single 20mm. Basically a fat Fletcher class with even more spray n pray AA. Plus we don’t yet have any Danae class in game yet so it would be brand new type with room to grow sideways.
Should’ve honestly been 1945D to put it on parity with the other 8.7s imo.
Isn’t that too greasy?))
No. It’s arguably the ultimate culmination of the Lion class; being comparable in armor, length and weight to USS Iowa.
Here’s the assumed specs.
726mm at point blank.
Only beats the IJN 41cms at range. Bruh.
Just seen its position in the tree. I guess I now need to grind PoW. :D
Not done it, because I couldnt be bothered with top tier naval for hte past few months
But god damn HE stock
yeah they really should have done something but well its naval
Was actually quite worth it, you often had downtiers and the armour is really nice
