we still havent gotten the Stormer 30 which uses the same turret as the VBC-30/80 so I doubt we would lol
there is also the boxer CTA-40 with the Javelins as well
yeah some british IFV seem overdue at this point

Yep, plenty of options
Yeah. the Desert Warrior is a good start, but its incredibly weak for the BR and more on-par with some a full BR below.
We still lack something like the Puma or 2S38 in terms of good gun and with or without decent ATGMs
do iowa class and vanguard have torpedoes?
also, ASMP-A has variable yield up to 300kt, going against land targets on a much smaller map
mk23 has a yield of 15-20kt (probably going to be 15), going against large battleships on a far larger map.
ajax or recently bought boxer probably
No, but submarines and destroyers do.
The US navy has great destroyers right now, they will have great submarines once they get them. You don’t need a one-to-one counter if you’ve got an asymmetrical one.

will destroyer even get in range of torpedo before getting blown apart? and submarine are also quite easily countered with destroyers no?
the only good non-nuclear way to deal with yamato would be a lexington or midway class carrier
Warrior Verdi II seems incredibly useless considering the Starstreak is still as bad as it is
Ajax would be nice for the Javelins tho
Arjun is perfect for Britain, it’s underpowered has a crap armour and worse fire power than 3BM42…It’s what we have been waiting for! 12.0
Started playing 10.0 more and using the Desert Warrior and it is does alright.
Also quite relaxing using the Jaguar and Harrier GR.3 for CAS
But yes would love a new IFV one that’s an equal to what other nations have
But, who will be able to resist the…
Penetration Cum Blast?

Pretty sure the Iowa class could handle Yamato without nuke shells, not to mention the previously mentioned torpedo vulnerability

Ha ha ha gross
yamato isn’t as impenetrable as you make it out to be
It has massive raw thickness, but the angling is meh, and there’s no turtle back shenanigans on that one.
Iowa could get access to better fire control to compensate, as it did IRL. The 406mm AP is also nothing to scoff at
A nuke shell falling on a BB would simply kill everyone on board, armor or not.
Does your 500mm+ armored turret has ventilation ? too bad, in case of a nuke, everyone inside basically gets cooked.
It would be a free kill even with a near miss, it’s not balanced in any way.
As for subs, i suppose it could potentially be a trade off : getting closer to the juicy BB increases your chances of getting a hit, but is also riskier because you are getting closer to enemy Destroyers. Since they are not implemented yet however, it’s basically impossible to conclude on anything

I mean that’s the bottom line of this entire conversation, isn’t it? We’re arguing about how effective ships that aren’t in game will be against ships that also aren’t in game and declaring that we already need to give one side a potentially-game-breaking advantage in order to compete.

yeah it’s getting off topic tbh
The best we are getting in naval this update is probably Strasbourg and Warspite, we’re still quite a bit away from Yamato
what about Maryland?
sounds fair, but have they implemented this to the other ships that had more advanced FCS?
