It is, but not a British 15" exclusive issue. All high calibre naval shells are underperforming by roughly 10-25% by the current formula and the “ranking” of shell performance in the game is more or less historical so even if something was done to improved the penetration formula, the gun will remain its place albeit with a bit better looking numbers.
Still waiting for the Naval Arcade aiming “changes” (ruining) to be reverted, or at the very least fixed. I will not be playing Naval again until the major issues are addressed. We have been asking for a discussion for months now and still have not heard a single word from the devs/managers/mods. I will continue to spend my time and money elsewhere. I have been a huge advocate and supporter of Naval Battles but that is over until we have a constructive conversation:

So you are the one those who cause the current state of naval then. With tons of bugs, imbalances, broken mechanics, stagnation of gameplay developing you were content with all of this as a customer. And only now you discontent for change that make NAB more realistic, more balanced and more playable for new players.
would have been better if they added Bismarck and Tirpitz as Gneisenau is not going to be able to compete with 1950s battleship 11 inch guns can only go so far
I don’t think the UK needed Vanguard firstly, however…
There’s so many things wrong with what you just said;
Firstly Vanguard as it states in the devblog, is in her 1945 configuration… not 1950’s.
Secondly, Vanguard is a 1938 design really first concepted in 1935, it just took a long time to build her due to carpet bombing and freezing of capital ships to make cruisers.
Thirdly Bismarck and Tirpitz will be more busted than Scharnhorst better armour, same ROF, bigger guns.
Fourthly, Gneisenau could potentially get the 38cm (15") gun refit which was started, then again I wouldn’t recommend it as best estimates for RoF fall to somewhere around one 1-0.8RPM. which is abysmal.
Also Germany does just fine with Scharnhorst still people act as if because it isn’t the undisputed king in the game its bad or something. Though I do agree they’re falling short with backups, that’s the price you pay for not building anything between a WW1 ship and then a treaty breaking behemoth. Italy and France are in higher need.

refit never happened hitler veto it and sent her to be used as a blockade ship it was planned never happened
The plan was started and turrets built, that’s enough for Gaijin.
Weren’t one of the Italian battleships added with a planned refit a few updates ago?
Conte di Cavour is labelled as a ‘project’ as shes depicted in a refit that was never finished

Until those ships were actually commissioned - yes - hence early 1943.

Seeing as the royal navy now has another of its crown jewels (rightfully), I hope to see more obscure RN ship/boat classes be added to the tech tree to hopefully thicken the lineups.
Thats absolutely fine, it just allows for reward for all players when hitting good shots
My personal hope is that they take a short break from top tier and add some ships like:
HMS Fiji
HMCS Ontario
HMS Devonshire (County-Class Destroyer)
HMS Broadsword (Type 22 Frigate)
Etc etc.
Really bolster some of the other BRs.
Its nice to have finally gotten some extra 7.0s, but would like some new stuff elsewhere too

For me it’s bolstering coastal (maybe leeway for a third line)
Some on my wishlist:
Insect class
Bangor class
Dance class
MTB 102
Girl class
Ham class
Ton class
Gay class (for tech tree)
And way, way more

Soon enough I guess. We could use bigger maps for the top battleships tho.

I don’t care, British players can whine all day about their mediocre vehicles for all I care, but they can’t whine at all about getting the short end when it comes to getting new vehicles. Meanwhile as a French main, I’m forced to accept I only get small drops of content at max, Japanese players are even at worse stakes. I wouldn’t be surprised if we only get a ship as is usual by Gaijin fashion.

Spite to others doesn’t solve problems.
I agree that France and Japan both sorely need Thier respective issues solved. I think if gajin focused more on the non top tier content or postponing pushing to the next set of flashy new jets, then issues can finally be fixed in orderly fashion.
Yo this guy. You still owe me duel.
