Wasn’t the Montana laid and then converted to a carrier?
Was just thinking about her XD
Not sure, not my ball park. The magic 8 ball says probably.

This is true! The Montana’s would be glorious, but at the cost of having to view malformed monstrosities in the russky tree

none of the Montana-class were ever laid down but the design work went into the development for the Midway-class carriers

Regretably (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), no. However, the internal arrangement for Montana was reused on the Midway’s, as were the 5"/54s built for Montana. There were also 16"/50s earmarked for the first few Montanas that were reused on at least New Jersey when she was re-gunned.

Montana was never laid down
which means it wont come to warthunder as they require construction to have started

So was HMS Glorious though, so you never know
I think I’m thinking of an additinal Iowa class that was laid and turned into a carrier than. Thanks for clearing it up everyone!
HMS Glorious?
oh wait im dumb
No comment :P
None of the Iowas were converted either, but plans were drawn up for those. Speaking of them, I do think we may see all six of them at some point. Maybe they’ll even add the planned 8"/55 refit, especially since we got Gneisenau with her planned 380s
idk if we will get all 6, I doubt we will see all 5 QE (I assume QE will be our rank 6 premium)
Probably not more than 1 or 2.
So far the only reason we’ve gotten more than 1 of a class is because its come to TT and then Eevnt or premium (HMS Renown and HMS repulse, Scharn and Gne, Hipper and Eugen, Barham and Warspite) and usually in a different fit.
Probably a WW2 Iowa now and a Korean war fit in the future as event or premium (if we get rank VIII naval)
My thought was that there could be three in the TT: Iowa in 45 fit, Missouri in her 80s fit (when we get missile ships), and maybe Kentucky in her BBG configuration. The other three could be events or premiums. Like I said, I wouldn’t mind seeing the proposed 4 x 4 8"/55 armed Illinois conversion myself. Something about having 16 rapid fire 8"/55s on an Iowa hull is very appealing
Thats a big if, and whether a BB with ASMs vs destroyers with ASMs is even remotely fair
Rules can always be changed.
Remember, no jets, no air to air missiles, no FNF weapons, no top rank premiums…
