[PME] inkedsoulz Players 196 posts Report post #6 Posted May 16, 2021 Looks very much like Smaland. Since it has no torps compared to Smaland, maybe they give him even more insane AA or gun dpm in exchange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorthyOpponent Players 687 posts 5,439 battles Report post #7 Posted May 16, 2021 152 mm guns on a DD seems very interesting and I'm really wondering if the poor Elbing is going to be powercrept before it can even be fully released because of this. The new line didn't hold the "largest caliber DD guns" title very long now did it? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BS4] aleksi111 Players 238 posts 18,079 battles Report post #16 Posted May 16, 2021 So a reuse of Halland's model for quick and cheap asset flip? Seems like the art department either: A) got tired of caring and carrying and said Whatever, who gives a F B) Is under so enormous strain with the breakneck demand for new ships C) Have directly had resources cut -That they no longer can produce quality.

Here's a link by Kingpin6100 to the design sheet. Really nice. Plus it has 2x2 152mm guns. Looks interesting. Seems that just idea and weapon composition is the same. The rest is just a lazy WG stuff. According to the project Kingpin6100 provided, this ship should have single stack with overall length of 170m, and different hull shape. But instead WG just took a (double stacked) Halland hull, 121.6m long (so almost 50m less), put twin 152mm guns in the same turret as 120mm guns (imagine if it was that easy to put much larger guns in the same turret). But somehow seems that Ragnar kept original project 4660 t standard and 5340 t full displacement compared to Halland 2670 t standard and 3340 t full displacement even tho Ragnar hull is basically same as Halland. Same sh*t as with Congress. Maybe WG had used that project as general idea but Ragnar is just product of their imagination and laziness. Another BS if you ask me. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
