Armada: HMS Nelson

[@phantomwraith1984]

The repair crews keep an entire second Nelson in the cargo hold

[@jazeroth322]

The single best thing about nelson is u can lock the guns to point straight at the start of the battle. This gives u time to see where the threats are before swinging the turrets across

[@AugustGreen_]

Same with the Dunkerque.

It would've been funny if they model the bridge being shattered when the rear most turret fired at a certain angle.

Well that didn't really happen. It did internally but you can barely see it from outside. Also can this Nelson fire all 3 guns straight ahead in the game?

@Luca Cassar Wait, Nelson wasn't even part of the hunt for the Bismarck. Rodney was. And Rodney engaged Bismarck alongside HMS King George V closer to France than the Denmark strait.

@Luca Cassar That is correct. But Nelson didn't partake in the sinking of the Bismarck.

[@VRichardsn]

"Her primary armament should be on par with the naval superpowers of that time, US and Japan" What the fuck? Great Britain _was_ one of the naval superpowers of that time, and they most certainly had a larger fleet than Japan. What is this habit of making look Great Britain like a second rate power during that time? Things must be dire if an Argentinian like me has to point it out...

[@F_Reduction]

Besides that they fought the Italians and the Germans alone 😂

[@johnparrish9215]

I got the Nelson about 2 months ago and have learned a few things. 1. Great Guns, at least tier 8, very accurate and strong. 2. Poor Hull, this ship can be citadeled from any direction with a gun size over 305mm. 3. No speed and slow turning So if you intend to take this thing into PVP battles you will have to hide behind an island and snipe. Even the Colorado is a better ship.

[@TheAlex1121]

Know before you buy: The horn leaves much to be desired...

[@5chr4pn3ll]

Short review: She will get wrecked by AP and HE, push in and you die. This is a "nose in" BB for that reason. They way to play her successfully is to play safer at first, picking off cruisers and setting fire to everything (50%+ fire chance). Then in the later half start pushing and finishing the enemies off. Grade = 7/10. Fun to play but it might be better to save up for a Missouri/Musashi, since they will make you a lot more credits.

[@pangliantju3069]

The weak nose might make it more of an "angle away" bb

[@itcsmount6504]

Whenever Winston Churchill heard the quip that Royal Navy service consisted of nothing by "Rum, buggery, and the lash," he replied, "I wish I'd said that." In 1940, HMS Rodney was moored at Scapa Flow. One of her stokers was found at one of the islands around the anchorage "in falgrante delicto" with a Scottish sheep. At his court martial, he would plea that he thought the sheep was a WRNS (pronounced 'wrens') (Woman's Royal Naval Service) in a wool coat. For the rest of her career, the crews of other ships would constantly "Ba-a-a-a" whenever they were in earshot.

[@TheAmir259]

Historical wise, there are some errors. 0:33 - Design O3 was a direct successor of the G3 & the N3 of which both of them don't have any main turrets placed on the stern. I consider them as a successor due to the Washington Naval Treaty. Had it not been for it, O3 won't be a worthy successor. But the point here is that the naval treaty wasn't the one that caused the british designers to go with this unique design. It was the designs of the G3 & the N3 themselves. 1:02 - The all-fore turret design? It wasn't just proven by the British, the French themselves tested this as well so don't put all credit just on Nelson-classes. Effective? Sure but you'll have to suffer some minor damage from your own guns. Reasonable? If it really was, they would've continued with this as their tradition, and the KGV & Lion-classes would've inherited this configuration as well. Even the French stopped at Jean Bart. Gascogne was an upscaled Deutschland-class whilst the successor to Richelieu-class never had an all-fore turret configuration anymore.

[@whatisthis2199]

Seeing this shop makes me think, wouldn't it be better to have 2 or 3 ships that always go together, low armor high speed, high maneuverability, double the anti aircraft and only one of these turrets each. It would make them very flexible, strategic and difficult to hit if they operated together...

Historically while one of the victorious ships in the battle against the KMS Bismarck, she would also be on the losing end of seeing much action, her centre side turret & the hull area below suffered a hit from the German canons that damaged actuators, thus the turret could not raise its guns before they would start jamming up and locking up, the damage to the hull would cause multiple water intakes, causing the front bow to tip more into the water,
