True true, and likely we'll get more of both in the future, espiecally when we get the British Dido-class Light Cruisers, with armaments ranging from 4-5 twin 5.25" guns to 4 twin 4.5" guns.

A better example to have used would be Bismarck and Tirpitz, both being true battleships and not battlecruisers, and both having the same primary and secondary armament with Tipitz having torpedoes to boot.

Actually the current HMS Conqueror in game is fake, as it is based on a more modernised design of the L2 Battleship which never actually happened (the L2 was never modernised or given a makeover as a Blueprint, this is Wargaming creating wasted opportunities). So yes the current Conqueror we have is indeed fake. The current Tier 9 Lion 1938 should really be moved down to Tier 8 to replace the Monarch with the 1942 Lion replacing it at Tier 9, then fitting the 1945 Lion in at Tier 10 which makes more sense than a redesigned L2 Battleship. Also the interesting thing about the Lion 1945 B3 Battleship is its guns can fire more rounds per minute combined than the Montana despite only having 3 3-gun turrets, and double the secondary guns that the Neptune is armed with (yes, same 114mm Mk. V guns in the same RP 41 Mk. VII Twin gun turrets)

Removing a lot of the fake ships that don't need to be in and replacing them with actual blueprints, the German Tier X is understandable, but the British most certainly is not when we have the Lion B3 1945 design Battleship.

Well if you are going to be like that, Art Representation of a Javelin Destroyer and the Vulcan :P

Not to mention my skill really has no real bearing, even being Average means I have an understanding of the game mechanics.

Atago isn't exactly fair, 12 Battles does not give an accurate mean considering the low number, and Kutuzov I got when I was still inexperienced with the use of Light Cruisers to begin with is of course going to have below 50K damage, but that comes with experience, as for being a bad player, no, I'm average at best and still getting better at playing the game.

It doesn't, reversing just means you die quicker.

If I had limited knowledge of the game I wouldn't be able to get over 50K average damage with likes of Fiji.

I know how penetration works, from what I've seen in battles with the British cruisers, the short fuse will affect the angles the shell can land for penetration, with the same caliber gun I can make a penetration with a longer fuse that I cannot make with the short fuses against the same level of armour and at the same point.

The short fuse can increase the chance of it happening, and how far the shell will actually go inside the ship if it does penetrate, it is more to do as well as to where the shell hits on the ship and at what angle.

I wasn't wrong, the low fuse will affect whether the shell actually penetrates and how far into the ship that shell is going to go before the explosive goes off, a shatter means a zero damage hit, not a ricochet or non penetration.

This is exactly what I put, not that short fuse affects long range firing Mr. Salty German, it is about ballistics and projectile flying arc.

At Short range against a heavily armoured target no, it is not a disadvantage.
