European BB tech tree line

[TheKaramelka]

Here I will offer a branch of European battleships. As always, higher levels are hypothetical or paper projects:

Tech tree features

• Like heavy cruisers, they have other consumables: Improved consumables: Advanced Damage Control Party (Action time - 40 seconds, cooldown - 90 seconds, number of equipment - 6), Special Main Battery Reload Booster (Reload time reduction - 30%, duration seconds - 60, cooldown - 160 (VII, VIII), 120 (IX, X) seconds, charge - 3), Special Repair Party (Ship restore - 60%, citadel restore - 40%, duration - 15 seconds, cooldown - 60 sec , charges - 4);
• They have excellent maneuverability and speed;
• Ships have armor-piercing secondary: high breakdown and damage of AP shells;
• Preferential ricochet angles for AP shells;
• Fast turret turn times;

European battleship Tegetthoff, Tier IV:

Was the second of four Tegetthoff-class dreadnought battleships built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy. Tegetthoff was named for the 19th-century Austrian Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff, most notable for defeating the Italian Regia Marina at the Battle of Lissa in 1866.

European battleship Vasilefs Konstantinos, Tier V:

Following the Ottoman purchase of a second dreadnought in December 1913, Sultân Osmân-ı Evvel, a previously Brazilian ship still under construction, the Greek Navy responded with an order for a second dreadnought of its own. The new battleship was to be named Vasilefs Konstantinos and was to be built to the same design as the French Bretagne class from AC de St Nazaire Penhoet. Work began in June 1914 but ceased on the outbreak of war in August and never resumed. The Greek Navy refused the incomplete ship after the end of the war, leading to a contract dispute, which was settled in 1925. The unfinished ship was subsequently broken up for scrap.

European battleship Franz von John, Tier VII:

In mid 1917 the MTK (Marinetechnische Komitee - Naval Technical Committee), Pola prepared a battleship design the same time they proposed the battlecruiser Project II.
The hull shape was similar but shorter and wider providing a more stable gun platform with a more conventional layout of 4 twin 38cm turrets in superfiring pairs forward and aft and a reduced number of 9cm casemated guns only positioned at the ends.

This is my personal proposal and not the fact that ships will ever appear in the game or my concept will be taken into attention!

 Thank you for your attention!

Also I would add ORP/OF Paris as premium T5. Quote from Wikipedia 

"In June 1940, it was slightly damaged by a German air raid. Before the fall of France, he went to Plymouth, where, as a result of Operation Catapult, he was interned by the British. The takeover of the ship was proposed to the Polish Navy, where it was to sail under a double flag: Polish and French, and its name was to be changed to the French Ship (OF) "Paris". The takeover did not take place. due to the lack of personnel reserves of the Polish Navy, especially in the face of the number of crew necessary for the battleship, as well as the unprofitability of repairing the old, worn-out unit and its low combat value"

[Karasu_Browarszky]

Looks good.

[LukkaiCH]

Rather disappointed not to see Yavuz Sultan Selim in the list. I do feel that it should be represented there. Or made a premium.

It might be as a T6, just like Scharnhorst is on T7 with such guns. With 19-20 sec reload and modernised AA.

due to the specifics of the weapons (the fact that this is the Moltke class, which we have at level 4), I did not know where to put it. On the one hand - 283 mm caliber, and on the other - serious modern air defense

Nothing wrong with having a ship capable of sooting down planes at T5, not that WG AA values have any connection with the real life...

it stands out too much for a branch:

 

Tegetthoff (3x4 305 mm, 4x1 66 mm, 20,5 kts)

 

Yavuz Sultan Selim (4x2 283 mm, 4x1 88 mm, 5x2 40 mm, 24x1 20 mm, 25,5 kts)

 

Andrassy Gyula (2x2;2x3 350 mm, 12x1 88 mm, 2x1 47 mm, 21 kts)

[LukkaiCH]

May be a fit at tier VI then, with a quick reload?

Yes. I also think it would be interesting on T6.

I'd like to see the Szent Istvan instead of Tegetthof. Ok, its just some national bias from my side

Unfortunately, the trend remains in the game that the main ship of the series goes into the branch (in this situation, the type Viribus Unitis (Tegetthof) is prescribed). There are of course exceptions like Vittorio Venneto or Devonshire)
