![]() What is a 15 inch gun going to do to a behemoth BB with 80-90% resistance stacking? Give the ship a massage? BC II hull didn't have access to anything bigger than 15 inch guns anymore. Then, I opened the game, started up a 1940 French BC vs British BB scenario like I had so many times, went into the builder, and was instantly confused. I waited for the patch to drop, then waited through two delays until this morning. So, when I heard that Core Patch 0.5 would allow me to build my own fleet around my favorite ship, I was excited. Watching a K-type Battlecruiser tear up enemy ships became a sort of constant for me, since no other ship I designed could reach the level of performance of a K. I rebuilt the designs so much that I memorized the steps needed to place every component in the correct spot to get a perfect weight balance every time. The only ships that could deal significant damage were ones with 19 and 20 inch guns built for high pen.Īll of this together made an excellent ship that was a joy to play. In later versions of the design, 12 inches of belt armor, 9 inches of deck armor, Krupp IV, and a true all or nothing armor scheme (0 extended) gave the ship the survivability it needed to hold the line against battleships. ![]() This was enough firepower to stand up to any ship in the game, even the 100k+ ton behemoth BBs that the game loves to throw all the time. ![]() ![]() This gave me the K-type Battlecruisers, a series of designs for a 33 knot BC armed with 3 triple 18-inch guns and a variable secondary battery mainly consisting of 3 triple 6-inch guns. There's nothing wrong with it per se, and I like the features that it added, however it's the features that were removed that hurt me so much.įor the longest time, I had been doing some experiments with the French Experimental Battlecruiser II hull to try to create my ideal ship: a fast, durable, and versatile platform that can kill cruisers like a battlecruiser should and compete toe to toe with battleships. Overall, the opinion has been positive, but I personally hate this update. As you probably all know by now, Core Patch 0.5 dropped today.
