What were you expecting?
I think that was more a matter of necessity rather than bad decision making.
Ships like HMS Glorious were maybe lost due to poor planning, but equally im not sure what else they could have done.
personally i’d rather the lesser known Anson or Howe as premiums (which i’d hope we’d never get, but it’s inevitable anyway so why bother fighting?),
they get overshadowed by the first 3 of the class with KGV (first of Class, at final battle of Bismarck), PoW (Battle of Denmark Strait, and it’s absolute blunder of a loss in the pacific), and DoY (Battle of the North Cape),
i mean that, or like Movran said, Nelson really, unless we get an R class Premium

Actually, that’ll be my main guess at this point.
It’s good, but not that good. Its a reasonable middle ground rank VI premium.
KGV is so strong that we havent got her yet and Rodney I could see maybe moving to Rank VII with a small buff here or there
time to get a premium R class before a tech tree R class!
We got Event Renown and QE classes before TT and soviets have gotten an R-Class before Britain. So at this point, nothing would surprise me anymore

its a shame that Vanguard could not kept as museum ship and was wrecked in 1962 - so the only surviving big vessel of the RN from WW2 was the light cruiser Belfast.
Also germany missed to get the former imperial battle-cruiser Goeben from WW1 as museum ship when turkey asked about the now called Yavuz in the 70’s

wouldn’t call belfast very big at all tbh
I mean there’s also C class HMS cavalier but shes very small next to a town class.
Its very sad that we have next to no remaining battleships

Only 8 WW1/WW2/interwar left in the world sadly
Half of them are the 4 Iowa class battleships
Wake me up when there’s something Russian, please 😔
Personally i am glad vanguard isnt recieving super charges from what i can see, however, i am a little dissappointed that the high hardness XVIIB or XXB shell hasnt been considered(yet), i believe she will be really quite underpowered in terms of firepower. @Stona_WT Do you know if any consideration has been given to further shell improvements? Given some sourcework has been provided by HK reported iirc.

She isn’t? And why is that a good thing?
Historically accurate, and i think the higher shell drop is actually beneficial in naval battles currently.
Caroline not cavalier
Maybe, would be good to have both though, one for slamming broadisdes with and one for plunging fire
I’ve been waiting for this very moment.
Also when do we get the St Vincent class vanguard?
A better shell would offer both in one, much more preferable to a faster shell in my opinon.
