If present naval queue times are any indication, it could be a long wait.
Well I have been busy unlocking the air and ground that was added this update as I was not excited by repulse but I have messed around in the test drive with renown and she really struggled to kill the BB in the the rest drive and I ended up leaving after a while as it still had most of its crew
I also noticed a deterioration, yesterday I could not kill Ishmael or Mutsu in the ammo rack

I know they must be doing this to justify adding a better BB next update
Maybe yes as now even Scharnhorst is suffering in realistic.

*we hope
The true and only logical conclusion is that they are going to add the 100,000 tone lion class prototype
It lacks ballistic capping, I am not sure why they selected this shell as I believe a better one that was APCBC was available but I haven’t looked into it enough to be sure.
With ideal decompression Barham would stay 7.0, Warspite and Valiant/QE would be refitted and at 7.3 with 6 crh projectiles and then Scharn, Amagi etc would be 7.7.

The hope for a brighter future is all well and fine, but the game and its scaling need to work properly now, not tomorrow. In this game it often seems a matter of waiting for things to get properly tuned, which I’m completely weary of it at this point. Nothing’s ever finalized. It’s all in beta all the time.

It’s playable, good even though outclassed due to dispersion and alpha damage feeling less devastating than pure RoF (unless you’re an Amagi with both).
Not sure what this weird thing with the shells is, i think it might be placebo but i’m not sure.
The lineup should 100% be stronger though.
Not too far from a KGV I don’t think, but I’m more expecting Warspite in a refit, speaking of, tomorrow (for me) is the anniversary of her launching 111 years ago…

Besides, biggest anti-British bias on game atm. Same company product, same casemate guns that has to be rotated with human power, shorter and lighter gun has only 40% of horizontal traverse speed because it is used by Royal Navy but not Imperial Japanese Navy.

that wouldnt benefit the russians at all so fat chance
You say that, but the Russians are likely due to get the HMS Royal Sovereign which they operated under the name of Arkhangelsk
She’s an Revenge-Class Battleship armed wth the same 15" guns as Hood, Barham, Renown, Repulse, etc. Now whether they would all get fixed or just the Arkhangelsk is of course unknown
put you hand in the air if the russians will get a revenge class BB before britain

Im still impressed they havent already gotten it, but if every nation is due a new rank VI this year. I dont think they are or the German have gotten one yet. So that would be my guess on what they would get
Top Gun, Proper Navy
style…
HMS Carlisle, 11 air kills and counting.
Commissioned on Armistice day 1918 as a traditional C Class Light Cruiser in WW1 her 1938/9 refit saw her become an AA stalwart with her 5x single BL 6-inch Mk XII guns replaced by 8x twin 4’inch Mk XIX. Move forward to 1944 she added HE-VT which would be my chosen point of additional.
She would act like a shrunken Atlanta (or a beefed up HMS Mohawk), fill the currently empty slot #3 between Diana and Dido at 5.0, and add a nice new camo…whats not to love?

well somtimes they hold it back for “ballance”
Yes Gaijjn can do as they please, but its highly unlikely if you look at the other VT users. Limiting to HE-TF would cripple her ro almost uselessness, little more than a fat 4" DD, and Abdial is enough to fill that role! If thats what they want there are plenty of original 6" C class options thay would make far more sense.
well they have stolen the VT rounds of renown for “ballance” dispite the american BB’s
But secondaries on BBs are a very different case to a dedicated AA Cruisers primaries.
