I wish the anti-air rocket launchers on HMS Hood were useable ingame.
Basically anti-aircraft mine launchers lol

Probably not as good as the Mark 41 VLS, but effective none the less.
and say what you want about efficacy, but the Russian navy is just cooler than the US.
Udaloy with cruise missile tubes open
This thing has anti ship/sub cruise missiles and the Tor VLS
Slava Class
this thing has 16 P-1000 anti-ship missiles, and an S-300 air defense system
Kirov Class
This thing was so big they had to bring back the battlecruiser classification
It has P-700s, Tor, and S 300s and was designed to be capable of single handedly taking out a small fleet of ships
I could go on, but I’d be here all day. Those are just my favorites including the Kuznetsov like I mentioned earlier.
Whereas the US navy, while effective, relies on pretty standard carriers with basic air defenses, and screening ships that have a standard set of the same SAMs and a few harpoons just in case. It makes logistics easier, and they fulfil their role well, but it’s just not half as interesting
We're making one of those too
Also, yours would have been cooler if it wasn’t mounted to the USS Preble

There isn’t enough air in naval battles and if you do want to bring it out it’s so expensive. IMHO you should (depending on the plane i’m going to use the SB2C helldiver) get a squad of 5-10 aircraft with you as leader. Now you actually have a chance against the aim bot AA on ships. They should maybe also add a fly in naval mode where you and others can spawn in planes while others are on the sea. (prob big map and teams for this idea)
It’s just super unrealistic to have 1 aircraft against a entire cruiser let alone 3 of them sometime.
What nation is that, also yeah should’ve been put on something else lol.
It’s rumored that the F-35 can use laser now too.

Thats the British DragonFire, planned for introduction in 2027, actually moved up from the original 2032 which is a first
The US navy got cooler with the introduction of the Mark 41 VLS, but before that it’s the USSR all the way, the only thing they were lacking was a proper carrier, but the ways they tried to compensate for that were great, mad, but great
idk, Iowa class and CVN’s carried
not to mention the USS Nautilus
US naval aviation just beats everything else
I mean the US navy was better, don’t get me wrong, although the Iowa was just weird imo
and as far as submarines go, the Typhoon is just cool, it’s massive and iconic thanks to The Hunt for Red October, and Soviet cruise missile submarines are great. Theres also the Alfa class which has a special type of nuclear reactor (liquid metal cooled) that basically wouldn’t need refueling for the service life of the boat, and was I think the fasted ever attack submarine at 41+ knots
But yeah, US naval aviation is hard to beat, honestly only the Chinese have come close with the J-15, but they’re still a long ways off
how many aliens have British, Russian, or anyone else battleships curbstomped?
true about the russian subs, they had some really cool ones

Blabla USA have cooler ship in cold war, blabla Russia have cooler ship in cold war…
Love how theses 2 always never talk about cool stuff from other nations. Sad we just don’t made that much cool propaganda movie for ourself in Europe.
Le Redoutable (S611) French SSBN from 1967:
Cool stuff, isn’t it ?

nautilus and typhoon better
Funny name for an American ship, since it’s a French story :p
doesnt make the reactor (which was the first ever on a submarine btw) any less American though
Well i was just talking about the name.
And the first autonomious (not relying on human power) submarine was French
Eh, Britain and France haven’t done much of anything cool navy wise recently, Frances best sub was of course
This beast
It is unfortunate though that there isn’t too much to be exited for, though I am looking forward to seeing the new Dreadnought class SSBNs we’re building, but that’s about 10 years off still
