Doesn't mean there are not things we don't disagree on. I agree on HMS Hood's tier for instance.

You might want to update the bottom tech trees then. Still think the N3 should be removed completely. I'd also put Hood down as a Premium with HMS Howe as the standard ship.

So what;s your comments for the Tiger class? A vessel, depending on the ship, with 2-1x2 6" guns. But in anycase, Ark Royal is one of those ships I wouldn't mind seeing as a premium but would rather have her in the main tree.

I wasn't taking RPM into account, just answering this question: Wouldn't the higher number of guns negate the gun caliber difference? Doesn't seem to negate it in in anyway compared to a New Mexico.

Not really, since Fuso has 2 more 14" guns than the KGV-class.

Yeah, another thing wrong with your tech tree is having Ark Royal as a Premium. And Audacious at Tier 9? RIP 60 Aircraft. Even at Tier 10 on the bottom Tech Tree's she is just fish food.

No, just ignoring bullsh*t.

About trying to come out with a better theory to use as an example.

Can't find anything on a specific mark.

Theory of Evolution is technically a False Theory in terms of science, as it cannot be proven with math or in a lab.

The N3 would have used a similar gun with similar characterics. A 1920's design by the way Train would have had less MV, Penetration and Damage compared to a late 1930's gun.

I already said I'd find you a source, and it's only one of many theories*. Theory*: Not proven fact

BL18" Mark 1 was built.

It had been proven, but as you know, commanding officers can be, arrogant. A trait from all navies of that time. Also funny thing: We Brits are partly responsible for Pearl Harbor.

OK, I'll go through one of the theories that I put and explain it to you, source I'll find later when I got the time: A fire onboard from Prinz Eugen had started around her amidships, this in turn had caused a gas leak which when Bismarck's shell hit, created a catastrophic explosion onboard that was large enough (thanks to the confined gasses which built up pressure) to puncture the ammo storage and detonate the Ammunition. This is one of the reasons why when Hood finally did succumb to enemy fire, that there was a large Fire gizza before the ship buckled and broke in 2.

Air Power was proven during the interwar periods but only showed its true potential to many commanders and admirals of even the Royal Navy after the battle of Midway. So what I am saying, though it may be conflicting, is true when you look at the point of view in terms of the Commanders and Admirals of the navy.

I never said the Nelson and N3 should be at the same tier. In fact I'd argue the N3 shouldn't be in the game. And the 18" guns on the N3 were actually inferior, both in penetration and knock out power to the North Carolina's 16" Mk. 5 guns.

Not at that time period.

Even then, people still thought the Battleship superior to Aviation. And HMS Hood really is unknown as to what caused her to sink. One of the many modern theories was that the fire caused by Prinz Eugen contributed to this.

Don't be America and place all your BB's in one spot where the enemy is probably going to knock them out. Arizona also had design flaws, and her sinking was also down to the failure of US Admirals and Commanders.

The Value of Airpower was proved before World War 2 during the interwar period.

Think you've read wrong. Nelson was an improved design over the N3 as the N3 had design flaws which came to light before she was even built (and she never was).

It was still an improved design too, since N3 also had design flaws.

Actually the Yamato left port on a suicide mission so doesn't really count. And PoW was not ill advised either as it was a time when people still believed Battleships were the future.

So was Arizona.
