Finally, Normandie at T6 is basically a Fuso, but with quads Characteristics of all models are realistically reproduced on the basis of technical elements of warships and aircraft from the first half of the 20th century. Id put Courbet at 3 with Danton at 2, if they did her. With have Fubuki and Shinonome.
27km max range at t10 is excessive, same as the awesome dispersion (please don't make yamato too generic), apart from that it looks quite fine, let us just hope wg goes easy on the gimmicks. Besides that'd be interesting. You do not need to duplicate ships. This makes them quite similar to the Russian destroyer line, performing best as gunboats. However, that is where the similarities end; Russian destroyers excel at long- to mid-range gunnery where they can keep their enemies at an arms' length. Well, if I had to choose a new T6 by making Normandie and Bretagne a tier lower, it would be the 3 quad 305mm battlecruiser (I forgot the name), making it a fast cruiser deleting battleship would maybe work, but I still think that Normandie is better at T6
The only way to make the branch decent is to have the Dunkerque's sister ship, the Strasbourg on tier 6, then find a paper design somewhere for tier 7. Strasbourg wouldn't kill Dunkerque.
If you have any additions or if you thought of the French BB line differently, don't hesitate Hydro Mod 1 is DD and cruiser only I'm pretty sure. Else there would maybe be a battlecruiser design with 3 quad 305mm guns, but having Lyon would bring some diversity to the game
Really wondering how wg will balence Montana in the future. Penetration values doesn't mean that the gun is able to overmatch Strasbourg had much more armor than Dunkerque, 225mm vs 283mm on the belt, Strasbourg also had more armor on the barbettes and the turrets
There's nothing new in here. I edited my above text to include German BBs as well. Well Conqueror has 29.2km range with 457mm guns, it may look excessive but in real life, these 450mm guns could shoot at over 50km, the thing that makes these guns special is the incredible 875mps velocity, which gives penetration values being much better than Yamato I'm sure you like your hydro-acoustic search modification 1. There are numerous serious battleships and battlecruiser proposals that may fit between TV and TVI. Well, if I had to choose a new T6 by making Normandie and Bretagne a tier lower, it would be the 3 quad 305mm battlecruiser (I forgot the name), making it a fast cruiser deleting battleship would maybe work, but I still think that Normandie is better at T6
Engine Boost Modification 1 to French BB tiers 8, 9, 10.
I wouldn't be so sure, Eugen and Hipper are nearly the same ships (Is there even a difference between these two Hipper class cruisers ?) In terms of pen I am indifferent, but yamato should keep her overmatch mechanic to herself. Bretagne at 4 and Normandie at 5. Enjoy! Like thirty more.The Ninth of July has come and gone, but the ship which draws her namesake from this important date is on her way to World of Warships. Added in Patch 0.7.9.1, British destroyers are primarily meant to be ambushers and close-range specialists, using their excellent concealment and high acceleration to their advantage. Despite low caliber and damage, it is important to note that Lyon cumulates an absurd number of 16 barrels in 4 quadruple guns. Else there would maybe be a battlecruiser design with 3 quad 305mm guns, but having Lyon would bring some diversity to the game Lyon at T7 has SIXTEEN shells, that's a lot and it can be tweaked to make them competitive, plus they would just be the ultimate cruiser destroyer guns And that's exactly what I tweaked in the sheet, perhaps making a new modern version of the barrel and the shell to make it go faster ? See page 14-15 in Jordans French Battleships 1922-56. If so a original Normandie can be placed at T5 lightly modernized and a modernized with lengthened hull/better speed at T6
Do you know any (and have the article/book for reference?) Well Normandie and Lyon both had a planned refit in the 30s I think, I saw some pictures but I didn't saved them, these refits would surely make the ships faster too, and add a bit more AA
There's a lot of ways to balance Lyon So far I have not reveiled any information.
Were you making a fuss about that too? It depends wether you want your tree to be fitting for WoWs or not.
