Since we probably won’t ever get the Montana’s, i think this would be a good compromise, Because These things actually started construction, and actually got Farther along than the Sevastopol’s, or the Soyuz.

and the things would be a BEAST, 12, Long barrel 16in Guns, That would out perform even the Iowa’s. And they had pretty damn good armor. Plus the way the Magazines and such were laid out was absolutely genius. They would be FAR more durable than the earlier standard types they are based off of.

can you make a suggestion on the forum about it?
will this be close level as yamato in fire power?
It would be VERY close in firepower, infact in a Full broadside Dual, the OG SouDaks would rival the Yamatos in pure weight of Broadside, and be firing their shells at MUCH higher Velocities.
The problem is that they are HORRIBLY slow, like all of the American standard types.
IT would be slinging 12, 2,200 pound AP projectiles, down range at over 800M/s
While the Yamato can throw only 9 (But heavier) rounds down range at a pitiful 690M/s

this would be good ship after USS Alaska 7.7 br?
slinging 12, 2,200 pound AP projectiles, down range at over 800M/s o.o this will easily defeat Bismark
how much is the reload rate XD?
No, it should go after Colorado. Because it is the direct evolution of the Colorado class Battleships.
You could EASILY put The Lexington Class battle cruisers (Which were canceled and the hulls reworked into the Lexington Class aircraft carriers) After the Alaska.


They would have the same GUNS as the South Dakota here, But only 8 of them. But be exceptionally fast, with the trade off of much weaker armor.

Well in World of Warships the class are modeled with a 40 second reload.
So it would have to be more than that.
