Yeah she was an Atlantic ship. She was so good in the open see the could often outspend the Iowa while being able to fire her guns.

Not too mention mechanics like radar that Britain was renown for, and many issues like HMS Renown having the wrong draft. A lot of work is needed in the Naval line
I fear Pacifica is going to really hammer us hard with his message
Wasnt the Royal navy a pioneer of naval radars aswell?

There is the Amagi and Kii class too, but they are certainly not below 20,000
This Thread is not our highest priority nor part of our job description… we do not dedicate our lives to this thread, otherwise we would never get any other work done
members have the option to report and flag posts, and then we can deal with them as necessary

Oooh yeah. Its how a light cruiser like Belfast was able to nearly single-handedly beat the Scharnhorst. British Radars were some of the best and early in the war, nearly the only nation with them. Bismark was shadowed for nearly 2 days by light cruisers.

We will all go down together then at least
I just find it too point and clicky. I’m perhaps a touch of a nerd, I don’t like leaving things to chance like in GRB its whoever clicks first wins. But i much prefer taking my Spitfire mk14e and knowing who I outturn, outspeed, outroll or whatever and having some true skill to it.

I mean flags won’t stop Alex though m8
The forum has “no interference bias” it seems. People should stop engaging with them. One person keeps getting drawn into arguments with who I think you’re talking about. Each side simply needs to stop engaging. One person says dumb stuff, just ignore. Even when not breaking the rules by replying, it still drags it on.
(I’m talking by the usual suspects that keep bickering. No excuse to keep the back and forth going, one side needs to just ignore)
Sure was. It was how the Brits tracked Bismark between the sinking of hood and the fleet arriving to end her.
Yeah, not too mention sheer dumb luck on who happens to be looking in the right direct at hte right time

Swordfish supremacy
Needs to be higher than bismark in Br when it comes out
With a little help from Bletchley park
Swordfish had radar too
Of course that’s understandable but if we were in the old forums with what happened today it would of been locked in a matter of minutes eventually cleaned.
