Not sure I’d say H39 has better armor than Bismarck, even…
Belt is thinner, deck is thicker, and the rest is the same, if I recall correctly.
And the 16 inch guns are still not even close to Iowa’s or let alone Soyuz’s; hopefully they would retain the enormous German rate of fire advantage as to have some sort of strength.
Bulkheads! Significantly thicker… which would make an angled Missouri a much stronger opponent than an Iowa.
her bow is stronger they changed it over time
I think you misunderstood. The list is for the ships before the ones came in the last update. Mainly interwar - late ww1 designs that we skipped.
Gap fillers at 7.x and 8.x
Variety
H-39 is very likely to be added imo, eventually
as to thicker bulkheads making a difference… as long as there are shells in the barbettes that won’t matter much I think.
I somewhat doubt we’ll see more rank VII’s now though
they said it would as long as bismarck isnt op
my bad yeah i was confused
Tbh the main issue i have with high tier naval currently is soyuz, unless something is done to at least balance it adding more ships is pointless
In late October.
Honestly it’s not too bad. I managed to get 43rd in the race last year. The way I done it was just get within the top 100-200 on the first day and then just try stay there. On the last day so long as you are up high enough you should be safe from the scramble of people trying to claw into the 1000-900 range.
You also chose the worst option. Should’ve gone with North Carolina.
15inches ingame reload around 25 seconds on bismarck it would be around 30 seconds for H39 to reload the 16s they would have slightly better performance than rodneys 16 inch guns and IRL without gaijns inhouse formula they Pen 805mms of armor at 0 meters
638mm at 9000 meters bismarck ingame has decent armor its not insane like IOWA or SOYUZ but when angled its decent and H39 is only slightly less armored then bismarck making a good 8.7 option
“As these guns had a rather thick barrel for their size, during the redesigns of the “H” class battleships in 1941 and 1942 (H-41 and H-42) it was proposed to bore them out and convert them into 42 cm/48 (16.54”) weapons. One of the reasons behind this conversion was that this change would give these ships a larger caliber weapon than those planned for any known Allied battleship. None of the guns already built were ever converted and no new guns were started. The SK C/40 model year for this version is my estimate."
potentially could be made into 16.5s
Yes the worst one. Aimed for the noncommissioned ships. France can get the cold war era Jean Bart too, for example
Yeah, the literal reason why I stopped playing Naval.
No point in playing the legendary real ships that sailed the seas when this thing just spawns in and wipes the floor with them.
Until its armor, rate of fire, or both are corrected… yeah, not touching Naval.
And I’m saying this as someone who intended to purchase the British Rank VII Premium (if it’s a KGV) to grind the British tree… but, while Soyuz is just curbstomping on everyone else, what’s the point?
Any new Leaks as of late?
No, I mean you picked the worst capital ship designed outside of the UK. If you want a non-com go with South Dakota (1920).
Lexington was not a battlecruiser, she was an almost successful attempt at sabotaging the US Navy.
nope
Nothing since the Thai ground leek
Mind if i ask what you consider to be the worst
Courageous class as designed. I know why they were designed that way, and that doesn’t make them any less terrible. The Renown class follows pretty closely behind.
