Draft design for the new Russian T10 superdreadnought battleship (not)

[pzkpfwv1d]

I just thought that I would speculate what WG would come up with as a T10 Russian Super Dreadnought Battleship and have started to prepare rough drawings 

 

There will be further drawings later 

This is as far as I will go 

 

Dimensions - use the scale provided 

Armament : - 18 x 180mm sponson mounted guns, 10 x twin 152mm guns turrets, 6 quintuple 406mm gun mounts, 6 quintuple torpedo mounts - 2 in bow and 4 in stern, 20 twin high angle 105mm AA mounts, 24 plus quadruple 40mm bofors mounts, 60 plus twin 20mm oerlikon mounts, 60 plus single 20mm oerlikon mounts and numerous 12.7mm machine guns 

6 shafts and 4 rudders with a cage defence system 

Main belt 350mm tapering to 250 

Upper belt 180mm 

Main armoured deck 170mm tapering to 120mm at bow and stern 

Citadel below waterline 

turret faces etc use equivalent armour 

48 boilers producing 720000 horsepower 

Speed 33 knots (unless you want it to go faster)

[Major_Damage225]

Only 18 casemates? 

No no no, you know there has to be at least 18 per side, i mean its rashian, you give more guns da? 

 

Cant wait to see how it progreses. 

[Linkaex]

Can't wait to buy it for 30K Doubloons 

[El2aZeR]

Only tiny 180mm secondaries?! Only 18 casemates per sides?! Your design is insult to glorious Soviet Navy!!!

Here's mine, biased of course and not soviet. I like yours too but it lacks some guided missiles

What we can't see is how many guns per casement, probably twin or triples rather than single 7" and 180mm is probably a mistype for 203.

 

Expect at least three triple 12" turrets (two forward, one aft) if centreline mounted or possibly four if diamond or six if hexagonal.

 

Will need some light dual purpose AA as well, say eight Minotaur or Worcester 6" turrets along each side.

 

Main turrets we don't want to be too silly with, so probably stick with the historically proposed 20" and make up for that low calibre in the same way as the French did by making it three quadruple turrets.

A flat deck means that you can add a whole fighter and bomber wing to this BB! Good idea!

[thiextar]

Dont forget the historically proposed homing underwater torpedo launchers. They will run along the entire sides of the ship, say 200 torps per side?

[philjd]

I spy absolutely no citadel....

[Exocet6951]

"Is this thing a battleship or an aircraft carrier?"

Yes.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Where is the quad barrel 20" autoloader? 5 shells per gun so lel epic burst potential 

 

Or alternatively a even larger calibre rotating barrel gun?

Or, and bear with me here...
20 twin 130mm turrets.

Imagine the dakka.
The pure, unadulterated dakka.
The kind that would make an ork say "This might be a bit too much"

Don't tempt WG. They've already got a 40k Crossover in WoT I believe the Space Marine Predator is in Blitz too but no working Heavy Bolters and no dual Lascannon as the main gun 

[pzkpfwv1d]

180mm is the accurate type as per the Russian T9 light cruiser, just added the second of the drawings 

Lower casemate guns are single mount with 160 degree rotation 

Secondary turrets are russian 6" guns in twin mounts 

Still got to do the main guns, AA suit, armour layout and incidentals as it takes time 

[159Hunter]

As there are no exhausts, I'm assuming it's nuclear powered with a top speed of 55 knts?

The first Tactical-Technical Requirement (abbreviated in Russian as ТТЗ) for the large battleship design was issued on 21 February 1936 but proved too ambitious, specifying nine 460 mm guns and a speed of 36 knots (67 km/h; 41 mph) on a displacement of 55,000 tons.

Later, the Soviet admirals lowered the requirements to more reasonable 406mm gun armed, 30knots 45.000tn ship. Something that would be much more feasible for the neglected soviet shipbuilding industry had at-least some chance to build.

 

Here we go:

 

Guns & AA

• 3x3-460mm L50 guns: 1,500kg AP, 900m/^s muzzle velocity 2.2 sigma _{^{(F U Yamato)}} 27.7km range, 240m dispersion, fuse times same as brits _{^{(but shells significantly faster)}} +/- 25^o firing Angles, 30s reload, 180^o/45.0s
• 8x2-130mm Dual purpose: 950m/^s 6.5km range/ 5.7km range 224dps
• 12x4-45mm AA: 3.5km, 248dps
• 12x4-25mm AA: 3.1km 100dps

Mobility

• 33knots _{^{(Moskva & Stalingrad have to have some advantage)}}
• 20s rudder shift
• 950m turning circle

Armor

• 100.000hp
• Underwater citadel with 35mm roof _{^{(avenge tsushima)}}
• 50mm upper deck & casemate & bow & stern (Going by Moskva & Stalingrad, this one is almost guaranteed)
• 375mm belt + 35mm angled armor for empty spaced armor effect
• 69% torpedo damage reduction

Concealment

• 18.0km surface detection
• 16.0km air detection
• 12.0km smoke firing detection

Consumables

• Damage control party: 20s action time, 45s/30s cooldown, 5 uses (max 7.)
• Damage repair party: 28s action time +1000hp/s (1%) 120s/80s cooldown, 3 uses (max.5)
• Hydro: 4.5km ship spotting / 3.5km torpedo spotting, 180s action time, 240s/160s cooldown, 1 use (max.3)
• Smoke: 40s action time, smoke puff every 2s, smoke dispersion time 60s, 300s/200s cooldown, 1 use (max.3)

It has autoloader for main gun, 3 shot only tho. And you can make it useless simply by hugging its side.

[pzkpfwv1d]

Funnels, lifeboats and cranes have now been added, still more details to add including citadel, superstructure, AA mounts etc

Some inspiring background music for OP

 

 

[HaachamaShipping]

You people laugh now. Just wait till they introduce the actual ships... Then the spirit of Stalin will laugh at all of us while guiding "balanced" Soviet shells even into Kurfürst citadels every single time.

[Major_Damage225]

I found it's lifeboat plans, special consumable, when destroyed it launches 6 of these lifeboats into the water witch then would pick up where the BB itself left off.

No I think this is more like it :
