In either case, it certainly couldnt 1v1 an F-16 or Mig-29, especially with the stupidly high MP we had for that year

That was pretty rough for the tornado, should’ve been lower. Only problem would be r27er then
Yep, and 60m is still too high imo.
Given they never actually had them IRL. There is quite a simple fix there
50m is probably fine
You know how they are with top tier Russian and Japanese aircraft/armaments

She should receive super charge considering that she will be one of final battleships on top lineup British has along with projected Lion class battleship. Historically not service is not an excuse as there are already ‘planned’ 6 crh AP shell on Hood and Repulse. Especially considering that Royal Navy will be the worst in term of penetration, supercharge is really needed in the future.
No. While shell trajectory has been corrected(well, not 100% historically), shell drop doesn’t mean it could hit deck armor properly in combat range of War Thunder Naval. It only makes aiming harder cause of longer shell flying time, and making penetration of armor more harder.

All hail the Elephant & the Castle the Lord Clive class monitors.
HMS General Wolfe, HMS Lord Clive, as planned HMS Prince Eugene (it would be the third ship in game if added to bear that name, as seen by Prinz Eugen, Eugene di Savoia).
I would hope these monitors get added, maybe in the coastal TT if even goes further than a dumping ground for ocean going frigates.
That does still make me wish we would get the half sister of HMS Glorious (5.7 in game), the HMS Furious which hopefully would be added in the as designed format of two 18"/40 BL Mk. I (niche iirc these guns fired a heavier shell than the 46 cm/45 cannons).
Hmm now come to think of it, just speculation here, but if the Battleship Yamato does indeed come later in the year the HMS Furious would make a good event ship just prior to that update as it would generate hype for such large cannons, than the next update would drop with the Japanese ship.
have you considered playing other tech trees? no ones forced you to play one?

The 16” North Carolinas barely matched interwar ships?
The Gripen was the most unbalanced top tier plane at its introduction we’ve seen in a very long time. It’s pretty hard to think of anything that was a worse offender, actually. Calling the Typhoon “almost unplayable” is laughable too.

Lmao.
Real books usually use the USN empirical formula, as well as various tables from real tests. And here’s the mystery: some ships, like USA ones, are very close to your numbers, while German ones are underestimated. Meanwhile, the French 330 mm or Soviet 305 mm guns of the Stalingrad class are clearly overestimated.
Do you know what the most funny thing is here?
Naval development and modelling is completely separate from the other modes, and you my friend, do not play naval, because if you did you wouldn’t be complaining about this issue.

Rodney and Nelson were interwar ships
Yes, I’m aware. The North Carolina’s were faster, more maneuverable, with more firepower and better fire control.
Heya. Is the placement of Vanguard after Warspite set in stone?
Seems very strange to me that it isnt placed after HMS Hood as another fast-battleship / battlecruiser?

That would be because the R&N were ~15 years older laid down in the early 1920’s - Treaty designs using essentially WW1 tech, and the NC’s were late 1930’s designs that had the benefit of not being constrained by any of that.
What would the quintessential british battleship be, even if it wasnt laid down? As most of the ships i know of are old designs and i would like to see what we could have made late war and what was proposed. Would it be the lion class i keep hearing about or is there another that people are overlooking?
You have HMS Lion
HMS King George V
G3-Class
There is also the N3 class but there isnt a suggestion for that

Were there any difference from KGV 1945 and DoY 1945?
