[BOATY] Shaka_D Alpha Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters, Weekend Tester 3,691 posts 15,960 battles Report post #3 Posted November 1, 2016 Do I want it? Yes, will it be a contender to fight the Bismarck? Don't think so. If it's anything like the brit cruisers it'll blow up on first sight of a Bismarck, which is not far off from the truth. Being a battle cruiser it was lightly armoured and fast, meaning it won't take much to kill her. Be good to see how WG will solve this one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TEA] Robber_Baron Players 1,322 posts 7,981 battles Report post #6 Posted November 1, 2016 A while ago I was figuring out which place HMS Hood would take, and I even considered Tier 5 (Warspite guns IIRC, but weak horizontal armour). That might be too low, I don't have my Jane's book here, but IIRC Hood had reasonable side armour. On top of that she had better speed. Tier 6 or 7 I'd say. Definitely not Tier 8.

[SLOTH] txtspeak Players 3,041 posts 5,653 battles Report post #10 Posted November 1, 2016 Tier 7 I'd say. considering she was built in 1918 and was reportedly the best warship of her time that would put her as being superior to the New Mexico (1918)and Warspite (1915)and considering her deck armour is tougher than Bismarcks (source: Hood and Bismarck by David Mearns and Rob White) I'd say tier 7 is appropriate for her. and if you think she's not good enough for tier 7 then lets just say rheinbung had been postponed a month and Hood was in the process of having a refit (that she never had in reality because she sank) y'know, just some more HP and a little more armor.

Nice joker :-) And WG knows very well that you guys want Hood so bad/desperate. They will create the most hilarious bundle of all time and celebrate the sales with sh*t loads of champagne. Like Scharnhorst - just worse :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCHood Players 268 posts Report post #19 Posted November 1, 2016 It would be T7 and yes, I definitely want to see Hood in the game. Since its the only Admiral class ship, it also means it won't end up in the tech tree, like Bismarck/Tirpitz or Gneisenau/Scharnhorst, so to be honest I'd rather ot added as a regular tech tree ship, but I'm pretty sure WG will release it as Premium anyway, probably sometime after German destroyers but before the actual RN Battleship tech tree. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The original Fast Battleship. yeah. it was so revoulutionary that to the americans it was like the next dreadnought. you had pre-dreadnoughts which were like... 12 knots. Dreadnought pushed the speed limit to like 20. Hood pushed it to 30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ST-EU] Trainspite Supertester, Players, Sailing Hamster 1,920 posts 4,621 battles Report post #22 Posted November 1, 2016 I don't know if WG started to model Hood as of yet. They might have. Tier 7 is a definite, but I would prefer to see Hood as a regular over a premium. Maybe just as an extra option for tier 7 alongside Nelson, as a foretaste of a BC line. A premium would, in my eyes, be a money-grab at the expense of the British BC line as well as a deliberate bending of the rules/guidelines to make a few pounds. There is no lack of British premium candidates that don't conflict with WGs guidelines for the tech tree. Quite a few famed ones as well, Prince of Wales, Vanguard, Rodney, Queen Mary, Agincourt & Dreadnought. Scharnhorst-Gneisenau is concerning though. Ideally it shouldn't really be like that, though it does technically hold up to WGs seeming stance on naming ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
