It’s about time other nations get their unfinished battleships! +1

I don’t know what 'other nation’s you’re reffering to, but currently only USA and GB are the nation without any unfinished battleships

Ah, I was unaware it had spread that far. Even France and Italy?

Late war changes will be needed. Just enough AA that can stop what you need it to stop.

France has Clemenceau.
Italy has Francesco Caracciolo, and Conte di Cavour as unfinished refit version.

this would pair well with the H39

12

Ah, gotcha. Well this should join them for sure. But what could the USA get? I don’t think any part of the Montana-class was laid down.

Lexington class battlecruiser
South Dakota(1920) class battleship
and maybe Illinois/Kentucky? Though I’m little doubt on this as there are four comissioned sister ships

Would be good to add, reason : Kronstadt-class battlecruisers are in game.

Well she will be a good ship all things considered. The QF 5.25-inch Mark I dual-purpose guns are good especially if they get prox shells at stopping aircraft at any altitude.

Cant be worse the Yamato

Took them long enough, but cool nonetheless.

Ammo is well protected I’m looking that way.

I’m surprised they did not include the .50 Vickers. Though they would not be that useful. Otherwise she is a good ship with few to no compromises but we will have to see the Yamato was sort of seen as a OP ship until you noticed Nagato could sink her in a few moments.

Exactly, could be an good bug report for missing those Vickers, it’s the 1939 model, not 1942 too ( should have more AA on the top of thee principal Turrets )

We would need a source for that there modification has .50 Vickers. (would have)

Might be hard since as far as I’m aware these weren’t present in the original blueprints of KGV’s either. They weren’t crucial part of ship’s structure unlike Pom-Pom nests, so they were just skipped in the macro-scale blueprints like some other details. I’ll dig anyway.

Actually waterline should be deeper, means that ammo also should be in deeper

shes sadly suffering from elevator fires which makes her detonatable
