[B0TS] philjd Beta Tester 1,806 posts 7,738 battles Report post #26 Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) I would keep it in its original launched condition, and put it in an appropriate tier. I know everybody will want a top notch Hood to compete with Bismarck etc, but I would prefer to see it in its original form competing against other BB/BC's of the time. Only then will we see the Hood as intended. That would make that configuration Tier 7 then, facing off against Colorado's and Nagato's... If she is regular ship and not premium.. hmm... planned rebuild or not..... urrrg... yes Edited October 3, 2016 by philjd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although some may love it for historic purposes I can't see it being fun gameplay if the Miksas is anything to go by... not so much same as mikasa - with 457mm of belt armour would be the heaviest armored ship in the game (imagine that at low tiers)...but also the slowest 17,5 kn...also her "secondaries" are not as impressive as mikasa. but main armament 4x343mm would be rather strong on tier 2 (or wherever...) but also short ranged (10km) and inaccurate these ships have a potential. if there will be more pre-dreadnoughts and if they would be placed in proper enviroment (pre-dreadnoughts facing other pre-dreadnouts + early dreadnoughts and other contemporary stuff) + figer out the problem with multicaliber primary armament - these ships would be fun for sure: more close range brawls between bbs, more ramming with big rams... the major problem with mikasa is that she is alone. every other bb outclass her. but if there will be more ships like her...that's different story (just remember some encounters between two enemy mikasas) ...wg just have to figure out...time will show 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they perform close the German 102mm the 7x2 setup sounds actually really good ( trainspite, don't facepalm to hard plox ). Unfortunately they aren't as good as the German 105mm. Still, they should be quite annoying for close range attackers. 7 x 2 9.5 @ 5.0km 3 x 8 20 @ 2.5km 4 x 4 2 @ 1.2km Unfortunately the AA still ends up worse than Warspite because of how shafted the quad Vickers is.

Eruantien_Aduialdraug Beta Tester 163 posts 1,747 battles Report post #44 Posted October 6, 2016 Might help plebs like me to change the AAA description to DP then as I missed they were dual purpose guns due to the explicit mentioning of AAA designation British gun designations are weird like that at times. We've got HA (ie AA) guns that can depress more than HA/LA guns (aka DP). But yeah, the 4 inch Mk XVI is a dual purpose gun, the mounting can depress 10 degrees and elevate up to 80 degrees.

Yeah, but there they had a ship to make into a prem, while Hood was the only one of her class. I hope you're right, but making Hood a prem wouldn't be a very surprising move on WG's part. Too soon.
