In fairness, this is because Britain built a LOT more capital ships than Germany.

You had Bismark and Tirpitz, Scharn and Gneis and Admiral Graf Spee, Admiral Scheer and Deutschland.

All that is left is Tirptiz and Deutschland to be added of Germany WW2 capital ships.

Yes, youve got the paper ships too, if they were laid down (I genuinely dont know)

But there just is a lot less to add, and its not exactly like Britian is actually doing all that well either with its loadout. Our 7.7s are unplayable in an uptier, Vanguard shouldnt have moved up to 8.3, and PoW is one of the weakest 7.7+ ships offensively and probably shouldnt be 8.0.

This once again doesn’t have anything to do with Lion. This is about providing Britain an 8.7 BR ship.

Germany will again receive additions of its own in future updates regarding Battleship expansion among its ranks.

does not mean we shouldnt get the ones we have ? tirpitz was in active service and actually built not just a hull in a dry dock never to see service the country that needed ships at toptier like japan italy and france all got there ships germany shouldve been next not britain they have way better line ups at most brs

not to mention fact germany has recieved very little past few updates mostly just premiums

44

doesnt excuse the fact germany got skipped france italy and japan all got there sister ships added before this even America got 8.3s ? germany also doesn’t have 8.7 go figure Britain should’ve been lower priority on the list

45

just H39 thats it 4 ships left to add to pad out line up and Gneisenau pre refit

46

would be a shame to rush through that short list
you’d have nothing left to look forward to whilst everybody else keeps getting shiny new ships ;)

47

where struggling at 7.3+ with one vehicle while most other countrys have 3-2

Why do we have rate of fire inconsistent approach for ships? Some have theoretical, some results of extreme stress tests, some practical, when will it be fixed?
It’s not fair and not balanced that not completed ships have advantages over ships which had service career, just because there is no data. Give every ship projected RoF then.
For example 45 s aced for Littorio ships is just a slap in the face of the Italian community, especially considering that this is the only class they have (and could have) in top tier.

Spoiler

Theoretical could be up to 24 s btw.

and Gneisenau and Sevastapol at 22.7s instead of the more realistic 60-70 seconds for those guns without powered loaders

Well i dont think it “never flew”, it never did vertical take-off tho.

1945D variant is a straight upgrade in almost every way. What?

You choose the variant closer to Bismarck’s size over the variant that would put her arguably on par of Iowa. The 1938 variant is likely going to be inferior in almost every metric aside from caliber.

Iirc it only left the ground for a couple of seconds during taxi trials.
