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.

they are both C class so you weren’t too far off, Cavalier is just what a C class was for ww2 until the 60s
Are there any carriers in UK?
I’m lucky enough to live within a semi-reasonable walking distance of this beauty, its a bit rundown on the inside, the places where its machinery used to be is almost always in at least foot or two of water, but lockdown wasn’t very kind to the place either
hell i’ll be working there for a bit in a few months
Sadly i don’t think the Cavalier would even fit into the game, with its stats being worse than the Vega., especially in Post-Refit config removing a turret and the torps, unless we get seacats to swipe Pe-8s from the sky
Do you mean currently (then 2 Queen Elizabeth class carriers) or historically (and if so do we go by individual ships or class and would seaplane/assault carriers also count)?
I mean any preserved museum carriers
My bad should’ve worded it better
It’s fine
Unfortunately no, all carriers (and battleships) were not preserved.
There are several other ships and boats (MTB 102, HMS Belfast, HMS medusa) but no carriers.

No, all were either scrapped or sunk, with the last remaining ww2 era royal navy carrier being HMS Venerable, scrapped in 2000 after being in the Netherlands and argentinian navy (as venticinco de mayo). I have just come across HMS vengance, which was sold to brazil and then scrapped in 2004

Shame, would’ve been cool to have a chance to see different WW2 carrier design doctrines
