Grand admiral Thrawn wont approve but Grand admiral Tarkin will! Tarkin has the backing of Emperor Palpatine remember that!

Just place some piece of metal somewhere and claim you start to build it, then say that you cancel construction and Gaijin will add it to WT 👍

Thrawn would canonically probably have supported something like the Zumwalts given the Chiss were masters of Stealth ships.

I mean what ship isn’t stealth these days
He would not have approved the size of it though

Most ships have RCS recutions, but you can’t compare the reductions on Horizon/T45/FREMM/Type 26 to those of for example even the Formidable class (to a degree the La Fayette) and especially Zumwalt class or LM Sea Shadow.
It’s kinda like 4.5th gens vs 5th gens in terms of RCS reductions vs true stealth.
I think as a fleet ship he might’ve done. It has its own specialised role and could’ve replaced the AB’s in AD duties for that. It’s a bit more expensive yes but better in some ways. Imagine TIE Defender being Zumwalt and Advanced TIE/TIE Interceptor being the standard Arleigh Burke.
As opposed to the Trump class which is literally a super star destroyer and the thing Thrawn hates the most.
(Yes I will talk technology in Star Wars terms, no I am not ashamed of it).

Afaik even the stealthiest ships aren’t really stealth. Having the signature of a fishing boat for that size is what matters in that context, but a radar will still see it even at range, unlike aircrafts. The risk of misidentifying it is higher though
Yup that was my initial point X)
Big ships make big targets, big targets make symbols
Better to have multiple hulls for the same amount of raw material / crew, unless the ship’s role really requires that size (aircraft carrier, SSBN).
Even for big surface to surface missiles today, you don’t really need to go heavier than a cruiser
Anyway, now i’ll go back to coping about submarines

I think gaijin should add the prototype weisel with a rmk30mm would be very funny

UKBTM’s New turret designs for T-90M2 and new “T-80” (Rivok-1 & Rivok-2 projects).
compared to existing T-90M turret design :
Frontal turret cheek angle has been reduced but rear turret width/breadth has been increased in order to increase overall volume inside the turret. The turret sides are not straight anymore but instead more faceted.

It’s going to be cool to see more of the design finalized T-90M2

The tall one
Idk if it’s just me, but it feels like it’ll have weaker composite
