HMS Renown

This ship is like a paper ship equipped with weapons, even the guns do not have good accuracy

I know that diagram and there were many mistakes. I have photocopied the complete original plans of HMS Renown in 1926 and 1939 refits during my visit to the National Maritime Museum archives and all potential mistakes had been reported.

Thank you for all of your effort.

Is there any anti-torpedo bulkhead exist in original plans?

Yeah, this thing is being shelved for the time being. I’m barely able to do anything. The massive shell dispersal means that I cant engage at long but that is all I ever face. Im averaging around around 1000 RP per match. It would be fine vs cruisers. but being 7.0 and people still farming the event. It faces 100% BBs all the time and just gets 1 tapped. I’ve done 6 matches so far, and only managed a single kill, which was against a cruiser.

Totally agree, even it’s hard against cruisers. This ship can easily be one tapped even by a light cruiser from 6.0. It’s definitly not suitable at 7.0. 6.3 would be much better.

Going to shelve it until the weekends EC event and see if that helps at all. After that, the only hope might be the upgrade token for 10/10 event, but I really dont want to have to do that.

But I dont have much hope for either

I believe the sale prize won’t be high due to the terrible game experience. I would rather keep it in harbour until a change. (either the br or the armour)

You can’t sell it either way.

No

And doing all that voluntarily as well. Can’t thank you and Mag enough for everything you’re doing. o7

Are there any schematics of the updated 9” scheme?

A quick impression of how the draft and missing slope deck extension could have affected the ship’s survivability:


Trajectory in this example had a 7.5° AoF which corresponds to about 10km range

This is the missing armour right?

How much pen will a shell lose going through, however many tens of meters of water that is?

When are they going to address all the missing ducol/sts armour missing that also effects most other ships in game to. Internal and external.

To my knowledge renown should be covered in ducol steel externally and should internal ducol steel plates for anti fragmentation purposes.

With the correct draught, I measure it as 71 feet of water from the surface to the hull bulge.

That compares to 23 feet as things stand.

This is equivalent to about 11,700m of additional velocity loss.
