SmartassNoob Players 723 posts 5,774 battles Report post #77 Posted March 28, 2017 That listed "historical data as of 1940" is BS. It claims that it could do 31 knots, but really it could only do 28ish. Also, your source claims that it will have no torpedoes in the game. And what exactly does "Maximum speed Section 32" mean? According to your source: "Firing range 17.57 meters"? Really? The main guns will shoot to a whole 17 and a half meters? At least it confirms rocket launchers at 1.5 km, which means that Hood is invincible to HE bombers, but not to torpedo bombers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad the ship doesn"t have the Warspite Repair Party. But, we have the defensive fire AA. That listed "historical data as of 1940" is BS. It claims that it could do 31 knots, but really it could only do 28ish. The Hood managed to reach 32 knots during her trial. Her 28 knots were only done during her last days.

SmartassNoob Players 723 posts 5,774 battles Report post #80 Posted March 28, 2017 And were those trials in 1940? No! And when were those last days? And why exactly is defensive AA fire a good thing on a BB that already carries multiple rocket launchers that due to their extra short range will likely be super powerful? Those few torpedo launchers would have been a way better option to increase the combat effectiveness. Or is it that they decided to make the rockets only fire when they're activated as a consumable?

BuccaneerBill Players 513 posts 11,276 battles Report post #84 Posted March 28, 2017 Lol also says its Mk XXIIB shells which I thought she couldn't fire. Plus 910m turning circle and only 16% torp damage protection? Thought torp protection would be better with her crushing tubes. 1.8 sigma is truly sad though.

[FK] Combat_Hamster Players 438 posts 33,869 battles Report post #87 Posted March 28, 2017 The slow turret traverse you can sort of live with on Warspite, but not on a ship with a 910m turning circle......reminds me of original Yorck...and why no TT when Mutsu has them?

BuccaneerBill Players 513 posts 11,276 battles Report post #88 Posted March 28, 2017 Not really. The game is so unrealistic in the way it represents armour that any big ship, BB or BC, would be the same: show broadside=deleted, angle=safe. Having said that, I think BCs are very cool and would love a full line of them, they would still have a unique feel due to their combination of speed and armament, although the line would be really blurred at the higher tiers (see Amagi, Iowa). Having said THAT, you guys need to stop dreaming about this RN BC line. Realistically, it won't come for years if at all, so save yourselves the disappointment and accept we will be getting a BB line, probably not mixed (except maybe to fill out one of the top tiers) and we maybe, just maybe, might get another premium besides Hood. Going with the one line assumption, G3 (with fictional AA upgrades) would make a possible T9 with Lion as T10 so as not to use two different Lion class proposals. Well with BCs weaker armour, even more so, especially if they raise the cit for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creamgravy Players 2,780 posts 17,292 battles Report post #95 Posted March 29, 2017 It'll be fun to yolo Hood in a tier 8 DD or cruiser. 8 slow guns, 1.8 sigma, useless secondaries and no torpedoes. Though to be fair her AA is thoroughly lacking otherwise. She's at best gonna be a nuisance to CVs, nothing more. Na, you'll melt T7 squads at range with most AA builds and defensive fire.

Sea_viper Players 240 posts 5,054 battles Report post #96 Posted March 29, 2017 Umm... nah, its not that bad.. Atleast it is not Cleveland/Alanta bad Oh a more serious note, with that turning radius and length, a CV should be able to plant 1~2 torps even under dAA, eventhough that would mean pay one squad in and one squad out giving that she doesn't start turning really early.

creamgravy Players 2,780 posts 17,292 battles Report post #98 Posted March 29, 2017 a CV should be able to plant 1~2 torps even under dAA, I wouldn't expect any bombers to stay alive long enough to drop on a Hood with AFT and mAA. Maybe 1 or 2 Siapan Douglas AD1s? We're talking Flint/Atlanta levels of long range AA here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CPC] Psychocouac Alpha Tester 390 posts 7,502 battles Report post #99 Posted March 29, 2017 The Hood. The only BB that CV will autodrop torps and not manual. With that lenght and turning radius you'll stay less in the AA bubble and lose less planes (maybe). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sea_viper Players 240 posts 5,054 battles Report post #100 Posted March 29, 2017 Actually, I think the correct implementation is to have dAA only applied to UP, in this way the panic range is 2.2km Max, with no bouns to 102mm guns... what will happen is that any CV can set their maual drop well before planes get paniced... which will correctly reflect the absolute uselessness of UP (I doublt it can panic auto torp drop too!)
