Most ASMs they could add to the game would actually struggle against anything with decent armor. Like a good number of light cruisers particularly US ones have enough belt armor that they could ank something like an exocet pretty well. DDs on the other hand would be squishy but that is the case for them vs most things already so meh…The only ASMs that would be a threat to well armored ships would be something like P-1000 or other large asms with SAP or HEAT warheads.
Though personally I am expecting more ships with SAMs like the bravy more than anything.
Since it’s basically been taken there, how about fuel-air-bombs? They come as low a 500kg’s and could make an otherwise lack-luster CAS option, like the Su-24, interesting if it was the only plane with that ordnance.
One Colorado class (4 ships) and one South Dakota (1920) class (6 ships), I understand the confusion though they do look very similar. Standard types after New York do look more or less the same after all.
Anyway, the main idea being everyone except for Italy and France has at least one 16-inch battleship, with some even having ships with a little bit more gun.
Yup, its a shame the Alsace was never finalised, Italy just hasn’t got anything post-Littorio, not even a paper design from what I can see.
But that’s not something that can be helped, however that is why I think they should have complete trees now, before they can’t have anything to compete, i’d rather Scharn was swapped for something broken of Italian/French origin as at least they can have their moment of Glory before they can’t compete.
France and Italy aren’t necessarily going to be uncompetitive. Their guns and protection are still really good. The real problem is that France, Italy, Russia, and Germany will only have 3-4 ships each, all but the German ships will be of the same class.
I think in their era’s Richelieu and Littorio will be formidable. I do think however once you par them vs something like an Iowa, G3/Lion, their advantages just start to cease to exist.
Russia I also think will get some of that Russian bias on the Sovetsky.
AFAIK only 2 of the German H-class battleships are viable which is H-39 and H-40 ordered to the same design. H-41 onwards are illegitimate designs which could be added if Gaijin loosened requirements but also I dread to think of what Soviet, British and Japanese designs could be dredged up if they went that far.
