I am going to try and nuke its reload rate. The same should apply to Selvastopol too

100% accurate there.
Or significant components to have been built, though not 100% sure that even applies anymore, since we got one of the 1919 Amagi preliminary designs a couple of patches ago
Reload on the German 38cm guns should be about two rounds a minute. Krupp documents claim reloads of 26 seconds were standard. Speaking of reloads, now that they’re adding in the 16"/50, we have the reload clocks for those, so reports there are 100% easier than the other ships
Which didn’t, and I believe still doesn’t have the correct turrets for her mains.
Yeah, Watch Gne maintain Scharns RoF even with the 15" guns

This is only true of the turrets intended for Bismarck and Tirpitz, they are many hundreds of tonnes heavier and have more power-assistance to maneuver the shells and lift them. The ones for Gneisenau and Selvastopol were lightened to avoid causing too much strain on the ships hull (even the Soviets were not so stupid somehow as to drop a full-weight turret into Selvastopols already weak-ish hull). What was sacrificed was power assistance, meaning most things were hand loaded.
This meant the optimistic RoF was 60 seconds, and in practise the the coastal battery’s which were virtually identical in the auto-loading department (or lack thereof) never achieved a RoF higher than 70 seconds.

Good luck getting a premium they know will sell well being nerfed that much
It’s a hard limitation to at least 40-50 seconds as that’s how long the few autoloaded components are needed. That’s assuming the crew has mastered dimensional manipulation and can teleport shells from the top of the barbette to the breach instantaneously.
They either nuke them which brings me immense happiness to nuke a Scharnhorst class, or they make hard limitations of autoloaders a non-factor. Which means buff all of the US standards’ reload rate and also Rodney etc.
Amagi was laid down
There is a third option.

I want to see if planes will ever have a bigger impact in naval, rn they seem very unimpactful and frankly worthless. I would love to see more usage for seaplanes to scout out locations of enemy flotillas and the like, much like what you can do in EC

Not until we get stand-off weapons or an AI AAA overhaul.
Ships like Vanguard will be even stronger

Yeah, seems that way. I just wish they were a bit more of a threat, right now they are a completely irrelevant aspect of naval and a non-issue
Hi guys!
Is there any possibility that we’ll see an un nerfed AAM-3 for the Mitsubishi F-2, or even other missiles with 2 channel seekers like the Python 4 this patch?
With them adding IRIS-T ground launched, and probably others, I think the gates are slowly opening with this patch, for new IR missiles.
Negative, she’s still an ahistorical mess in general
Frankly this should happen anyway lol
Aye, I know, just not according to the design we have in-game. Finalized, Amagi would need a completely new superstructure/funnel arrangement and some minor armor changes at minimum.
I have a bug report imma send off once the dev server opens for giving AAM-3s proper dual plane pull characterstics, since we have sources for it and I figured out how stats should be adjusted to account for a dual plane pull.

I mean it’s in the same position as Sachsen or Erzatz Yorck or a bunch of Italian ships.
Any one have the asset viewer image of yamatos shell room from yesterday?
