Ships with a 50,000t standard displacement (56,500 full load), 840ft There was also a later Lion design from 1946 that called for two Looked much like the King George V class. Lions, two of which were laid down in 1939 (the two others projected Theĭesign specifications below are for the original version of the Vanguard could have profited from them, as well as the Lions. Mount that, ultimately, was never produced. They were designed for a new pattern 16in triple gun (See my essay the Post Treaty Battleships for a discussion In fact, they would have been smaller than the The Lion class are the most restrained of the super battleships Specifications taken from Conway's All The World's Fighting Ships, Simply work from the smallest to the largest of these finalīattleship designs. Technologies that might have been included in the designs had theyīeen completed will be disregarded. They might have fulfilled their likely missions. These designs in terms of their basic characteristics and how well The German "H44" study (a proposed 141,000t ship with 20in guns), will be ignored.Īs in my essay about the post treaty battleships, I will examine This essay is limited to ships that it was actually intended to build. (For a moreĮxtensive discussion of the Yamato class battleships, see myĮssay The Post Treaty Battleships. Them to the others where it seems appropriate. Were completed during WW II, the Japanese Yamato and Musashi. Two out of five projected super battleships of one class Montana class (U.S.), Lion class (UK), "H" class (Ger.) and Sovyetskiy Soyuz class (USSR). More pressing wartime programs) were designed and authorized, but never completed. These are ships that, for whatever reason, (usually Play it smart, and always check your surroundings when online.In this essay I intend to compare the last battleship designs from the major powers. [While a mine has to be deployed at point-blank range, a single mine deals the following: 1,500,000 MJ (Firepower,) 200 M (Explosion Radius,) 4,800,00.5 MW (Strength) Just trust me when I say NO BATTLESHIP IS INVINCIBLE.Īnyway, bottom line here: when using a battleship, do not think every ship is weaker than you are. HOWEVER, that is why there are mines in the game, to destroy heavily armored vessels like your "invincible" battleship. If your battleship is that powerful, then fantastic. My battleship is invincible to all weapons, so I should try and get within my secondaries' range of firing and soak up hits.They will always fly lower than fighters do. Aircraft are a serious threat to all kinds of ships, except submarines, but even they know where to pick their battles. In addition, repetitive torpedo hits will eventually punch through your vessel, and destroy other modules. When it comes to dive bombers, they can slip through your AA batteries, and not only take out your AAs, but also potentially cripple your speed. On the contrary, if you are dealing with an online aircraft carrier, you have no idea what the opposing aircraft carrier possesses. Battleships have an incredible amount of AA/AT guns, so don't worry about aircraft carriers. If you are soley dealing with single player aircraft carriers, then that is correct to an extent.Only expose the side of your ship and fire broadsides when the opposing ship is nearly sunk. In addition, you are also a significantly bigger, and easier target to hit. This is because when you expose the side of your ship, you are also exposing every module aboard your ship. While it is true that battleships can take hits and their awesome weaponry can deal crippling blows, it is not in your best interest to expose the side of your ship. Battleships are really good at taking hits, so expose the side of your ship to unleash the full fury of your weaponry.A toughness of over 1,000 GJ (Giga Joules).At least 12 batteries of AA/AT guns (A bettery involves 2, or more AA guns within close proximity of each other.).In addition, their thick armor allows them to take one serious punch, and still keep going.įor a ship to be classified as a battleship, you need the following Technically speaking, battleships are relatively quick, and their weapons pack one hell of a punch. This ship category is the most commonly seen in the game.īy definition, battleships are large, very heavily armed and armored vessels, which used to define a navy's might.
