HMT Olympic: Yes, it's a Titanic, but with guns

+1 for a Titanic class ship. A mf said he wants Jack and Rose on the front (probably to goon to) but maybe a user camo of the Titanic could have Jack and Rose on the prow/bow as figureheads (for that one guy to goon to)

Would likely be more survivable then you think. For her size she would have low amount of crew and they will be hiding in a few locations. No armour will be best armour. In one side out the other. This ship will be one big empty box.

Would be fun to see just to help noobs to understand large ship handling at low tier.

Bombs and underwater explosions are going to be her weakest link

Good job

She had some improvements to that area after her sister went down. More coal bunkers and double hull to act as reserve. All that coal might eat a round or two. Also in theory her compartments would provide lots of flood space.

I will find the video concerning her post Titanic improvements.

Some says Olympic is the actual Titanic.

I know its conspiracy theory but who knows?

It fits the description tho.

It will be interesting to see a civilian luxury ship that was converted to a military transport ship with few defensive guns. How many civillian will WT put on this ship?

Likely none and if there is they would be extra crew anyway they would be soldiers in transit

This ship I think will eat a lot of shells as it’s real weakness cannot be modelled in game to its full extent.

There are many armed merchant ships I hope to see in game.

Modern version from China

now thats a conspirasy i dont believe as their layouts were different such as an enclosed ganway/promenade on titanic and different positions of portholes. plus Titanic had visable warping from a coal fire which olympic didnt

id love to see jervis in game its similar to olympic but a bit smaller she charged Admiral Scheer a German pocket battleship by herself

she carried 7, (6 inch) guns and 2 (3 inch AA)

With the game’s damage mechanics it just might be. Also in her military paint would make a good target on air maps as an AI. Convoy of 1910 to 50s era ships with limited defences would be a get target. Though there are better ships to add even in WW1 liners as some had what could be called AA (Pom Pom guns and MGs) though these where merchants cruisers.

Cruise Thunder. +1
