H-39: The Ephemeral Giant

Doubt.jpg

It’d make already weak ships weaker but at least they could fight back to a degree but it wouldn’t do much else.

HMS Lion would go from bad to worthless since her unhittable magazines are the only thing making her not completely unplayable.

All i hear is baw waw nerf Soyz but don’t touch my ships. Not gonna happen.

Beside that when submarines arrive, it will be hilarious that they will be immune to shells on periscope and slightly submerged depth with current system. Due to absents of hydraulic shock from shell explosions and switched off damage from shells touched water. Which is neither realistic nor balanced.

It doesn’t even need a huge nerf aside from a plate thickness decrease and not even by a large amount.

And if it actually is a kitbash of multiple project ships as one or two other people mentioned, then its model will be changed eventually anyway.

Submarines are also piss slow underwater and torpedo nets will hamstring them in EC.

otherwise to get anywhere with a modicum of speed, they’ll need to be on surface and not periscope.

You don’t understand that this will not help?

It genuinely would but we’ve been off topic enough in this thread and I really don’t want to invoke the ire of the mods.

Souyz tanking not cause of thickness of the plates but cause of superior modules placement and armor scheme in current game conditions. Yamato have better armor is it helping, no.

btw. I thought this thread is about how worthless H-39 compare to Soyz, so definitely on topic.

ps. It have almost no underwater protection besides anti trops, while lots of ships have it, but its not working cause of current game conditions.

folks like Oilydischarge seem to think that ship building is just like rummaging in the scrap bin and slapping some plates together and not years of work by hundreds if not thousands of people just to get the bloody dry docks ready and the raw materials together not to mention the round after round of design review and revisions and all the committees that go with that.

even most of the “paper ship” arguments with the Soviet TT miss the fact that those designs were begun before WWII started and had to be drastically changed as the entire global supply chain shifted with the outbreak of hostilities (and Stalin’s temper tantrums.)

its kind of a give away that a lot of people playing this game have never really had to work on any sort of long term project in their professional lives…if they even have one of those.

It wasn’t like that before barbet fire changes.

The only criticism I have of Soyuz as she is in game is that she’s a frankenstein of different blueprints instead of a single design specification. If Gaijin fixed that then the anti-Soyuz crowd would basically be out of sincere arguments.
