Nerf Scharnhorst Armor or make it 8.0

That’s fine for Naval, its why we’ve got the Kronstadht. Paper ships are allowed for naval

I’d finish it all with Montana, Lion (1945), Sovetsky Soyuz, Yamato.

Unfortunately Italy and France don’t even have paper ships that would compare.

Well because we are Britain we get lucky in this department in that we were ahead of everyone in battleship design and therefore laid ships to a higher standard before they were cancelled. Also everything we laid we could’ve actually built.

The gimp to us is entirely artificial and i’m not sure if that’s any consolation or just makes me more mad at the way we are in-game.

But if they go paper I want our actually decent heavy cruisers.

What would be the solution for the unkillabe scharnhorst? Nerfing it ? Changing game mechanics? Adding Yamato? (İt will still fail to pen scharnhorst with current in game values)

To begin with, the underwater-travel physics of naval shells are currently behaving unrealistically and need a total overhaul.

Also, don’t forget the Japanese Type 91 AP shell. It is the only AP shell that has been designed with underwater-travel in mind, so it is a factor that can differentiate it from other countries’ shells.

Yeah, in naval they have 0 excuses

If Gaijn hadn’t somehow decided to use paper ships, then the Germans after Bismarck only had destroyers from the 1950s until today, and many nations besides the US and Japan who have yamato and iowa, then there would be a huge chaos on the ships.

Eyyy, I was hoping someone had made a post like this but I hadn’t checked because I dreaded having to sift through dozens of ballistic evaluations to make my own.

I think the current theory is that Bismark, Yamato, G3 etc would be bottom of the tree. And then we’d jump forward for 1980s stuff with ASMs etc. but that’s a long way off yet

In fairness nothing as of current was not laid down, but I suspect this to change.

But still there is a lack of designs for Italy and France who were essentially knocked out during the war.

Lion would be bottom of the line, G3 would also compare favourably to Iowa and Lion though but she’d be older. She took a Nelson style armour scheme rather than a KGV style.

France before the real war even really started, at least Italy was there for a long time , France didn’t even exist for 4 years

Bismarck vs yamato 🥶, It chills me, it would look like an admiral hipper vs scharnhort fight, one shot and it explodes, only the hipper would be a bismarck and the yamato would be a scharnchort

Littorio and Richelieu were probably okay for when they were completed, but both nations were second class naval powers by this point. But out of being the underdog comes some interesting designs.

I thought the soviet paper ship was the best right now. Then again I don’t play that abandoned gamemode full of china bots

Can’t wait to give the Germans the taste of scharnhorst when Yamato comes out then.

I’ll be the one base diving the Bismarcks in my Yamato 🌚

H-39 will definitely be added, if Germany is the favourite now, they will not be held back by that. Plus the ship was laid down.

Krohn is very easy to 1 shot, can’t pen scharnhorst yet scharnhorst can usually reliably 1 shot it

No, in terms of Battlecruisers you have at no.1 Scharnhorst, 2. Kronshtadt, 3. Hood, 4. Alaska (she isn’t a BC though she was always a ‘large heavy cruiser’.)

What would be the pen values of Yamato shells?
