top quality game

HMS Hood - Speculation Edition

Posting my personal thoughts

>bad armour, can be citadelled through the deck at long ranges (16km+)
>belt armour is very slim but will certainly do a good job at deflecting shells
>warspite guns and accuracy
>huge tonnage means highest T7 health pool of around 67k (maybe more?)
>huge length (almost Iowa) means gigantic turning circle, she'll definitely need the high HP
>decent long range AA but shit short range
>rockets will be nothing more than firecrackers
>torpedoes for those close encounters, not sure whether they will be fixed or traversable

I imagine she'll play like an oversized, faster Nagato. Looking forward to see what WG does with her.

The torps will dip under their ally)))))))))))))))))

Oh it definitely exists. At the range in that image they might actually be too close for the torps to arm.

>class: battlecruiser
erm, are we going to see a RN battlecruiser line?!

in game? For ship torps, that's about the range that you can fire and expect torps to deal damage at.
For CV torps it is farther out.

No, she'll be a t7 prem.

It's nice that they outright say that it's a BC, that way everyone knows it's a shitty concept that can't really fight real battleships.

Who wants BC before proper BB?
>Be RN BC
>Explode

>that's about the range that you can fire and expect torps to deal damage at
"no"

Myogi makes me want to quit this fucking game so hard. Terrible at range because the spread is bigger than entire asian continent and if you get close to anything you are sure to get instakilled by torpedoes

shimakaze best stern

>Myogi is bad

shocking

feminine stern is the best stern

>liking little boy butt

sick

DD or CV stern?

Why is it so hard anons?
I want to stop playing this piece of shit game but I can't.

lmao no butts

Because once WG gets those jewish hooks into you it's very hard to pull them out.

Yeah and reloading in less than 10 minutes at sea in battle is totally realistic. I'll put my gun down when you put down yours.

>French BB line still not released

DD and DD only.

Soon, angry skeleton, soon.

Then you can finally rest in peace and stop spooping the hell out of us.

stop fucking posting this shit you worthless faggot

Zao and Moskva gets 2.05 Sigma instead of 2.0
What's more accurate than a laser?

reloading makes sense since it is more arcadey

However point blank range torps firing that could practically be grabbed out of the air by the other ship is kind of ridiculous.

A single photon?

:thinking:

>Reloading massive, thousand pound torps in combat is OK
>But them arming fast isnt

sure thing

>Saint Louis, Henri IV, Roon, Hindenburg, Ibuki, Zao, Dmitry Donskoy, Moskva, Neptune, Minotaur, Worcester, Baltimore, Burlington, Des Moines: the salvo accuracy inside the dispersion ellipse has been increased (the sigma number increased from 2.0 to 2.05);

>Worcester
>Burlington

hmmmmmm

Wasn't them arming fast due to the compression?

...

>>Worcester
Was in files for ages. WG most likely simply updates it so that they wouldn't loose any important change when they decide to finally implement it.

So with cruisers getting an accuracy buff, it is like WG wants us to stay back and spam HE.
But that annoys baBBies to no end.
Something is not right here.
P.S. With camo and concealment module you get 1*1.05*1.04=1.092 increase in BB dispersion. Or for example 200m become 218m.

Well I'm pretty sure that destroyers didn't have spare torpedoes to load anyway so they couldn't reload.

a bunch of the IJN ones did.

Japan did

Hood's belt armor will be very good. Deck armor is weak*. 15in guns from Warspite but with a good range probably like 18km.
Pretty good AA suite.
Quick speed but poor turning, as you mentioned.
Damage control, repair party, and AA focus consumables.

*In reality, that's the only reason Admiral Holland brought Hood and Prince of Wales to turn parallel to Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. He determined that they were close enough that German fire would be coming in flatter to hit the belt and not plunging through the deck, something like 9km range, but obviously it wasn't enough.

>to turn parallel to Bismarck and Prinz Eugen.
Broadsiding scrubs

>quality over quantity
Why bother with Moskva when Des Memes and Minotaur can just spam shells like no tomorrow and also more accurately? I can't even remember the last time I saw a Moskva as the first in the team while the other twos aren't that rare.

Moskva has longer range radar and can tank BB shells.

>Things like balancing and premium ship design are not handled by some community manger/PR guy.
Yes, that's why I pointed out that the head of the 'Game Analysis' analytic team was the one answering the questions.

>Torpedo reloaders visible on many IJN DDs
>comes out with this shitpost
ebin my man, simply ebin

The Dank Meme can tank (a) BB's shells too

>The Dank Meme can tank
Hey, it can tank Bisco. And that's about it

But that's too strong, need more nerfs.

You mean map/combat distance compression?

>be american battlecruiser
>explode

Other than Warspite and Hood (who is more known for exploding in a single shot than anything else), what other famous ships do the Brits have?
When it comes to WW2, the most talk I get of their war machines is always about the Spitfire.

Iowa class ships are not Battlecruisers.
And at least my country has a navy.

...

HMS Hood
>12in belt
in deck
>31knts
Battlecruiser Iowa
>12in belt
>3in deck
>never broke 30 kn-ts

Ark Royal?

>(Dead)in deck

more like 3 survived lmao

Isn't Iowa supposed to be able to reach 32 knots so it could keep up with carriers?

>torpedoes
>instakilled with Myogi's speed and maneuverability.
1/10 got me to reply

-Prince of Wales, fought alongside Hood and damaged Bismarck. Sunk by Japanese bombers in Dec. 10, 1941, along with HMS Repulse
-Ark Royal, carrier that launched the Swordfish bombers that attacked Bismarck (And HMS Sheffield)
-Glorious, British carrier that had the misfortune of running into both the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau (Didn't end well for the British)
-Glowworm, destroyer that went 1 on 1 and rammed the Admiral Hipper
-Gay Viking

Those are the ones that came to the top of my head. Other names I know just because of how cool they sound, but I don't know much about the actual ships.

literally the qtest and most chaste
in testing after the war she never broke 30knts. the murricunts were lying about her armor so they probably lied about her speed. besides ships never sailed at flank speed carriers averaged more like 18-20 knts

>Glowworm, destroyer that went 1 on 1 and rammed the Admiral Hipper
Already in game

:^)

>"Masters of stealth"
>Stealth hard nerfed
>RL
Yeah no

Oh yeah, that little marking on the Hipper's turret. A nice touch.

desu USN CA received more buffs than nerfs

Why are the brits the only ones that try to give cool names to their ships?

I think Hotel has pretty cool name desu Though mostly because it sounds foreign

>need 5 torpedo bleeds for a mission
>yeah missions.. but still 5 torps in one game, easy enough
>spend whole evening playing torp botes
>cant get it done in 12 games, even against weekend potatoes

Oh shit. I forgot the Rodney -Only battleship to torpedo another battleship.

On the topic of the Iowas.
New Jersey got up to 35 knots following modernization in the 1960s, but her original speed was around 33 knots.
That speed was used at times. Especially when they pushed ahead to come up alongside carriers to provide AA cover. That was not regular cruising speed because it used more fuel to run full speed.

>Torpedo botes

Here's some.

>playing torp botes
found where you went wrong
unless you mean the Fletch/Gearing

At least it was 250 flags.

*wasnt

Your autism is getting worse, please seek medical aid right away.

What are you even implying?

You accidentally a letter there my dude.

>listening to the autistic Nelson poster

Go find a better source of info m8

Is he getting ready for those big and hot Khaba shells?

>he

we wuz kangz and queen of da sea and shiet

I really pity you at this point, there is no need to be upset.

HMS Hood's 12 inch belt is tiny, a slither along the waterline, most of the side profile is 7" and 5"
Also, pretty much no underwater protection below the 12" belt, while on Iowa, underwater protection tapers from 12" to 1.75"

Horizontal protection of Hood is 2" weather deck + 1" upper deck + 2" main deck.
Iowa's is 1.5" weather deck + 4.7" bomb deck + 0.5" splinter deck.

you sound really upset my dude

That angled plate.
Does it mean Hood has turtleback memes?

>never broke 30 knots
Enough of your retarded meme.

yes

>tfw just cannot do damage or get kills to save my life all of a sudden
I'm not even losing games but man it feels bad to just not be doing much of anything in games now

>thickness in pounds
Can someone please explain?

Nico nico KNEE her in the stomach

im sorry that facts offend you

Actually they did go 33 knots after the war. The thing is usually you never have to go full speed unless you are running away. Every ship going at it's max speed while part of a fleet would end in disaster which is why in combat most fleet would go 20-30 knots.

I'm sorry that they offend you, since Iowa did and if they put her back into service as the last battleship she will continue to surpass 30 knots. Quit being a fact-hating pissbaby.
