Shouldn't we add the battleship Montana to compete with the battleship Yamato?

Still waiting for super yamato would be great event ship.
it’s copy past with 510mm guns

You mean free money and rp for a kill?

It wouldn’t necessarily fix them, but it would fill a gap that will be clear later on, with the Soyuz being a clear winner, and with fixing the Yamato’s poorly modeled armour, they will be able to easily deal with the Iowa while the Montana is a more contemporary design with them. The Iowa was designed more as a battlecruiser than a battleship. That and I think it would be unfair to not put them in the game when they were named, which is more than can be said for the A150’s and even the last 2 Yamato class ships.

you’ve got a strong victory for hope against experience there - you assume that there would be no similar discrepancies in its own modelling - which isn’t something I’d bet $1 on!!

Never were. Battlecruiser and Battleships are distinguished more by their role on fleet, not by armour or speed.

And Iowa classes were pure battleship purpose. Their high speed is needed for fleet flagship and state of 28 knots battleships that limit overall fleet’s manuverability.

This is also the reason why Montana class’ development were halted at very early stage of war, as their manuverability is unsatisfactory for fleet(Of course, shipyard shortage was problem too))

It won’t be changed much. Some holes can be filled, but hexagonal weakness and magazine’s position won’t be changed.

Besides, current Yamato’s armour is actually buffed as it has same 1.1 RHAe with USA/GER/BRIT armour. It should be like 1.05
