Yea, and only destroyed like 7 aircrafts

Looking at the kill count of these ships is quite unrepresentative, the Bismark only destroyed one ship (okay it was a nice victory) and maybe a few planes but no more.

mfw KGV class and the only ship she sank was a lucky shot on a post ww1 battlecruiser

Nah i think Yamato has a better chance it help sink 3 ships

I would wager although it is not modelled Bismarks fire control system would poop all over Yamato.

Well, it’s immediately obvious that they’ve already screwed up with the ammunition placement and made it incorrectly.

Patch is super crazy with naval new ships

In any case, I’m announcing that the best ship will be the Richelieu, even if no one will believe it.

(Do what you want with this information.)

Btw why is there so much talk about Bismarck, Yamato and Iowa all of a sudden?

I think there’s still a chance for teaser today and dev stream/server tomorrow. Since so many 3d models were leaked. I don’t think that happened before.

It seems that there was a massive leak w/ their 3d models

the Bismarck class in general is such an over hyped ship like a lot of german ww2 stuff, Bismarck lucky shot and sank a single battle cruiser (ignore it was from the late 1910s and she is modern ship from the late 1930s) and then the depressing story of terpitz that did literally nothing and spent most of her life in port and was sunk by an air attack

funny enough Scharnhorst doesn’t get nearly as much recognition as Bismarck yet was way more effective in combat and did the channel dash lol

where’s my Super Tomcat (F-14D)

Has the teaser and dev stream ever been on the same day? (Coping for tomorrow)

Replaced by the F-15 and F/A-18

Ship to ship, as naval thinking still went in 1940, it had no equal. It posed an even greater threat than the one Yamato did at the time of her commissioning, despite being much more powerful, because the strategic situation by then was completely different.

Why do you think the Royal Navy scrambled to sink it? Had they not hunted down the Bismarck, many RN ships would have shared Hoodss fate. Not to mention the serious threat it posed to Allied merchant shipping in the Atlantic (which was its actual mission).

Bismarck is highly overrated when compared to the Iowa or Yamato. That comparison doesn’t hold up in real life. It only makes sense in a video game, where the context is different (small maps, unrealistic rate of fire, simplified 3D modeling, etc.).

Hood lasted 8 minutes against Bismarck. As a ship, he was not overrated for the early 1940s.
