This is the PLAN Jiujiang, a destroyer converted into a fire support ship armed with 250 grad rockets:
Why not?
Why not?
SSV-33 of Pr.1941 " Titan " class, electronic reconnaissance ship:
Longer than even the Kirov -class nuclear powered cruisers, which it shares the CONAS powerplant w/. The armament is completely different though, being almost entirely dedicated to close-in AA - two AK-176 in single turrets, four AK-630 CIWS, eight NSVT in four double-mounts, and sixteen Igla SAM 's in quad launchers.
And a hangar for Kamov naval helicopter. Of course.

The auxiliary cruiser Hjälpkryssare Warun (Hjkr 5), she was a cargo ship before being turned into a warship during ww2.

Whatever it is no Submarines please then the tiny playerbase of Naval’s going to be half than it is now, nobody wants to have their big battleship that they grinded for 1 year to be sunk by 1 big invisible torpedo out of nowhere…
Same can be said for Cold War missile boats VS Battleships, if those were added it’d be terribly unfair for the big ship as are the Rockets vs old Heavy Tanks in RB :/
Most likely it will take more than a few. Battleships usually have torpedo bulges that soak up most of the damage
WW2 submarines are also very slow underwater and easy prey for any semi-competent destroyer
It depends on the ship and the torpedo. Most ships below 7.0 do not have torpedo bulges and many ships at 7.0 do not have torpedo bulges.
Anti Torpedo Bulges didn’t appear until 1914 and there are several ships in game from earlier years. Existing ships also would have had to wait for refits. Many ships never received them them at all and relied instead on improved DC as speed was more important than the armour meta of battleships.
BBs would be very unlikely to be sunk by single hit, but subs usually fire a spread of 3 or 4 anyway and the cumulative effect of multiple hits can exceed the individual sums. The games dodgy flooding mechanism will do half the work for you.
But whilst not easy targets the game is far from real life. Top tier is full of circles of death filled with barely moving large ships lacking any smaller partners in an integrated fleet. A sub won’t need speed d or tactics when it’s a point n shoot environment.
