Their highest BR Battleship is 8.3. America, USSR, Britain and Japan all have 8.7 BR BBs. There is no reason Germany could not.
The two things don’t equate. This ship is being added to Germany, not at the expense of other US ships. The US already has multiple 8.3s as well as its 8.7 to Germanys single 8.3.
It meets the same criteria as HMS Lion and the Sovetsky Soyuz and is no different.
Lion atleast had real guns and STARTED construction with a solid plan, Soyuz is faker than this due to its made up armor and guns russia physically couldn’t build without huge defects and wear issues.
But cmon, really? Are you really already resorting to Wargaming levels of fakery? the H39 started being laid down without even a solid internal layout or propulsion plant designed.
atleast the Soyuz had a solid plan, nomatter how impossible it was to finish for russia.
H-39 is one of the additions I looked forward to the most!
Bismarck is nice, but obviously lacking when compared to all 8.7s and even some 8.3s.
Depending on the rate of fire (hopefully it will retain Bismarck’s), H-39 may be a worthy contender to the 8.7s, even if its armor and shells remain suboptimal BUT still better than Bismarck’s!
