I’m not sure 2 1 tonne bombs are going to do much against a 72,000 tonne battleship

You actually can if you dropped it close to or around the barbettes, so that it can trigger a fire or magazine detonation. F-117 has ballistic computer so it can fly out of the AA range and drop the bombs.
Sort of why I never understood the hype about it. It only sunk one or two ships during her service life. Im guessing its what the ship was suppose to represent but still, how many more aircraft carriers could you have built from the resources spent on it and her sister ship.

G’day, While I am of course excited for what’s one of the most famous Battleships from the second world war, It’s a great real bummer the Common Type 3 “Beehive” shells ain’t coming with this ship.
Those would’ve been the main reason I would research it to cause carnage against incoming aircraft & tbh it ain’t we can’t do similar already… Ohh wait we can but with just lesser size cannons like with the Battleship Scharnhorst (heh downed a Pe-8 with the 11" HE-DF shells once, they were using the bomber as a high levellier coming in at 5000 metres & nuked the wing off).
On another note, It’s kinda sad you guys didn’t mention the Japanese heavy lift ship Kashino, of which is in game as seen here:
This is a ship specifically constructed to carry the turrets & cannons from the factories to the shipyards where the Battleship Yamato & Musashi were neing constructed.
I do kinda wish it could be make a Rank II BR 2.3 Premium Coastal ship for the lolz, maybe as a 250 GE ship (there are a few that want the merchant ships added as meme ships).

Ooo wishful thinking the Armed Merchant Cruiser HMS Jervis Bay, Although I’d want them all like HMS Rawalpindi which turned & faught the Battleships Scharnhorst & Gneisenau alone.
Anywho specking of Armed Merchant Cruisers the German merchant ship SS Goldenfels is in game & it became the Auxiliary Merchant Cruiser Atlantis HSK-2, that would be a beast if added.

Merchant ships would be cool, let’s hope gajin can implement them well enough

I did suggested a few of these like the humongous USS Leviathan or the decently-armed Von Steuben. Would be funny if we got WW1 AMCs and troopship in game for the fact that it looks funny.

Yes, their formula abolutly wrong.
Penetrated - speed, not mass. This is know all.
The USN empirical formula and Okun’s calculations show different figures — and more importantly, a different ratio between the numbers.

But with Gaijin, as always — mass matters more than speed, and German shells are the weakest. And yet, its BR is higher than the Roma’s. I’ve changed my mind about buying the Gneisenau

I’ll be sure to check out these suggestions later on today, WWI versions would be epic.
Honestly there are so many odd ship types that would fit this game outside of the mainline ships we see currently.

Thanks.
Now that we got the top of the tree (at least until they added missile ships), I guess it’s time to fill in the gap at lower tiers.

You want odd ship classes? I raise you a target ship
This will provide a distraction to the 8.7 F117, that way the battleships can fight unhindered /j

That’s indeed an odd ship & one that I’ve been hoping would eventually come to the game.
I think I’ve posted elsewhere here before but, Might I suggest reading into the Castore class Flatiron Gunboat. but briefly an 8kt 660t gunboat with a Krupp 16" cannon, a very squire yessssss.
