And with 12 km torpedoes and hydro, because why not :)

We know that since last week...

25mm plating and 70000 hit point pool

@black_falcon120 - thanks for drawing the Dev Blog to my attention again; for some reason, when I looked at it the first time, I missed everything after the new battlecruisers!

 

I see we get a new T6 KM premium DD too; a healing potion at T6 (but no smoke or hydro) might be interesting...

And a (ever so slightly) more reasonable 33 knot speed as compared with the planned 35.

 

Still should be the dictionary definition of "glass cannon"

Honestly I don't know what to make of this HMS Incomparable considering Fisher suggested her in 1915 so to whack it into tier 10 WG will have to do their own thing and create some fantasy modernizations for it to have a prayer in tier 10. 

 

Personally I would have preferred it to be a boss unit in some crazy Jutland on steroids PvE game mode, but oh well lets see what WG end up doing. I just hope it doesn't end up yet another HE spammer, I'm a huge Royal Navy fan but I get so very bored of all the HE.

If the armor on this thing is crap as hell, then I am fine, coz atleast I can fight back.

As it’s British, it’s likely to be poorly armoured all over with a high citadel.

 

At least it’s different. Looks a bit like a damage piñata but that concealment is interesting.

I can’t wait to devastate her to make justice, she outspots DM and many cruisers with 508mm guns... disgusting.

guys it seems wg learned their lesson and they gave this thing "normal" He shells they have less dmg and fire chance than thunderer

A mere 55% fire chance!

And 85mm of HE pen, which is at least as important a statistic..

To be fair, why would you shoot HE with 508mm guns overmatching everything ?

i mean for 508mm guns royal navy guns its not that high thunderer has 63% on 8 guns

Because it's RN HE. Break all their modules and set them on fire three times with every salvo, and watch as they pound their Fists of Puny Rage. All that Citadel stuff is much too clean, un-British.

For sure it will receive anti air missile and jet fighters … just to be sure that it won’t be annoyed by any CV while sniping from 30 km away.

For one thing it doesn't have a 30km gun range.

Would  reduce your fire chance down to 27,5%.

Those gun calibres though… it would actually be weaker at t5 as it would over pen everything imo.

You can bet your bottom dollar that would have been the crews' nickname for her.

 

Then again that was already taken by HMS Courageous..

Sadly they need to balance having no armor…
