@Tictaculer @Rennie1018129 Current in-game HMS Rodney stated as 1940 version. Though this is also the version which HMS Rodney was at during Hunt of Bismarck.

Not sure how I feel about calling 1940 when in 1940 admittedly half way through the year they went from type 79Y to type 279 and they added 2 20mms to turret b
In game has those 2 20mms yet still has the 79y radar
Personally, I’m ok with Rodney being in her Bismarck hunting fit.
Nelson can come later either in tree or as premium, as is the pattern with same ship, better AA
Well the danger of reporting it is they might just remove the 20mms
Well they added the quad .50 mounts at the very last minute, honestly i would’ve been fine with it being released next year but in a generally more finished state at all
Am I the only one who thinks that Rodney AP is underwhelming? It just doesn’t do damage. You see all these surface explosions on the enemy ship, but no damage, feels like I’m shooting with HE sometimes… combined with poor dispersion, the guns just doesn’t feel great.
Hood AP works better in my opinion.
Even Dunkerque sad SAP feels better.
Also you get unrepairable breeches(around the magazines) very quickly. And that leads to increased reload( I had like 100s+ reload) , or just uncontrollable slow sinking till death.
Not got it yet, but happily going toe to toe with the Rodneys in the Hood. yet to be killed by one but killed a few of them (though I suspect a few were stock and thus burned to death)
Welp I guess it is time to hope they don’t fuck up adding the kgv’s and then lion as if they do the is kinda no hope for the tt
I haven’t even started the grind nor do I really want to with the state its in, I’ll just grind out my EFT mods for now
I can see it now KGV’s quad turret will have a 60 second reload
That being a result of limited belt coverage below waterline, so diving shells could bypass the belt and cause flooding. Amagi has a similar problem too.

Well even flooding at bow can make No.1 turret reload increased too. It’s really time for Gaijin to change every ship’s hull destruction and breech DM to those of Kommuna and Marat. The more and more we’re going to get battleship with no armor at bow and stern. Let’s see Gaijin shit out Yamato’s hull section so make her sunk by 5’’ SAP.
This game is not ready for ‘more famous and powerful’ battleships.

Can you provide screenshot of this? It could potentially be a bug if flooding taken place in unarmoured part result in main calibre ammo being flooded
I’ll record my own soon(as it was two days ago I last play with Hood so no replay left now), but for now, from Kesik 123’s video.
We could clearly see Rodney’s unarmored hull and armored hulls are stick togethered, and effect both No.1 and No.2 turret.
And why does ships still have to get hull destroyed and prone to any shot hit under waterline because of this damn ‘whole hull’ DM? Gaijin has implemented ‘underwater hull’ DM for Kommuna and Marat years ago and no other ships ever got it except those two. Why? Because Gaijin doesn’t want players to live long and grind silver lion because they want people to buy premium and silver lion through golden eagles?

They also happen to both be on the soviet TT

do we have anything on rodneys armour? because so far the things i’ve seen say the barbettes were all 380mm on the sides and not lesser protected near the bottom

I wonder… Will they be able to repair the models of the main caliber turrets on the battleship Arkhangelsk?..
