I forgot to respond to this. Largely agree: However.

Hood is not on the level of Mutsu, Amagi and certainly not worthy of being above Alaska and Kronstadt just based on reload, AA, DPM etc etc all of these beat her. Where she has the advantage in armour the others more than make up for it and Amagi has almost equivalent armour her main issue is poor layout but I don’t think that offsets everything else.

And dispersion is still a huge factor as well as the gun handling (Hood needs like almost a minute to get the rear guns on target vs ships to her front).

I would have Mutsu and Amagi at 7.7 likely with Colorado, and then Hood, Tennessee (without barbette cookoff she might be a bit higher tbh maybe 7.7), Alaska and Kron at 7.3. Along with refitted QE and R class (though of course Britain also needs 7.0 ships for a lineup.

well renown or replulse would fit as they have less firepower and armor

Why did you @cluckcluck1111 me?

I’m unsure if what I’m about to post here is relevant to this thread, and if it isn’t, I apologize in advance.

There’s this thing currently going on with the Steel Baron event where you have to get 12 Marks of Distinction for Sailors. When you get 12, you get to become a tester. Well, currently, I have 20. I must not be paying attention to something, because I don’t seem to have gotten anything out of getting 12. I suppose I can have some sense of accomplishment, but what’s this about being a “tester”?

Isn’t that supposed to be for the French Closed Beta Tests?

This naval ‘steel baron’ event vehicle is already over.

I apologize for my obliviousness, but thanks for the clarification.

I tried to look that stuff up on WT’s website, but I couldn’t find it, at least not as quickly as I hoped. I guess all the news is in-game, which makes me feel like a 'Boomer, because I go back and forth from my PS5 to my computer if I need to. ^^;
