first topic id like to see discussed is bismarcks model i know barbette fires reach magazines via short barbettes but theres a physical wall there in between barbettes and magazines that should not be able to be breeched by any flash or damaged since its in the most armored part of the ship

heres a photo its at the bottom of the barbette

bismarcks blueprints show it too

I refuse; I choose violence.

H39 was part of ‘Plan Z’, Blohm und Voss Deschimag were to construct her.

Laid down in 1939, not much work was done before it was cancelled. While calling it a ‘Super Bismarck’ is disingenuous, the visual similarities - had it been completed - are very noticeable.

What little had been built was scrapped in 1941.

??? i mean it had enough laid down to meet requirements all thats required for gaijin is a keel

I was typing this before you made your second post

I’ve seen the German coastal suggestions.are quite limited, is there any missing vessels (ik there’s 2 Swiss boats that can be used.but I’m not knowledgeable on Germany’s coastal fleet

Wespe class gunboats from the 1880s could be cool with the whopping 10.4 knots max speed.
