As it currently stands on the Dev server. HMS Vanguard starts with the 15" 4crh CPC [SAPCBC] shell which even in 7.3 ships like HMS Hood, Does little against 6.0 dreadnoughts, but at 8.0 it is completely hopeless. Even in a full downtier, there is little you can do in the way of meaningful damage to anything and your only real hope is for a bot in a heavy cruiser that you can actually attack.
15" 4crh CPC
Given the 8.0 BR nature of Vanguard and the fact that even in a full downtier there is little damage she will be doing whilst stock, let alone in a full uptier. I propose that Vangurad recieves the 15" Mk.XVIIB APC shell [APCBC] instead. This is the typical main shell for 7.3s such as Hood and still leaves the “Supercharged” shell to be unlocked.
15" Mk.XVIIB
Should the stock shell on HMS Vanguard be changed to the APCBC Shell?
