The US did catch up by 1942/1943, and that’s exactly what kind of ships we’re getting.

No, was more like 1945/1946?

British doctrine was like that … but it has long seemed to me that it was quite archaic in many areas…
-
strange deployment of British aircraft carriers in WWII = unnecessary losses
-
poor training of battleship crews, unprofessional work and underestimation of radar, this was fully reflected on HMS Prince Of Wales
-
and especially a dismissive attitude towards the air force, that morning Admiral Philips ( HMS P of W ) refused support from aircraft from Kota Bharu, although only Buffalo, but it could be enough for the torpedo Nell’s…
And so we could continue …
This beauty ( Vanguard ) is a heavy beast from the look of it…
About the time the North Carolina and South Dakota classes were being released, the carrier, escort carrier and all of the US shipyards were in max production, the crews were trained to a decent standard and they had the VT shells getting distributed.

Maybe KGV on the tree, PoW as Premium.
I’d rather have that over a Nelson, I think. Or maybe not…? I don’t know lol. I would probably get either.

I already raised this question, but here again:
Why the Vanguard as very last british BB … now? Why is Gajin jumping over a whole class of fast BBs, the KGV class? Wouldn’t it be more logical to introduce the King George V or Prince of Wales?

And those classes of ships barely matched the performance of Britains interwar vessels and ships like warspite were already equipped with HEVT and had been for a year or 2
Yeah, same, it’s tricky. I fear the most though, both being event ships
This ship is better than bismarck, when bismarck
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

Yeah it was, either her or something like Warspite.
