The fact that you can get this ship for RP is just a blessing for me. I was waiting for this particular ship and was ready to spend money on it, glad you can get this ship for free

Fun fact: the Hull was an experimental platform in the late 1970s. Those 8 inchers was suppose to go on to the new Spruance class missile destroyers, but at the end the US navy scrapped the plan and stuck with 5 inch guns. Hull was sunk as a target in 1998

[@legiran9564]

Gotta love the Carter Administration 🤣. We would have had Arleigh Burke destroyers with 8 inch guns.

[@MrNatWhilk]

I believe Hull only had ONE 8” gun. It kept the two mk 42 5” aft.

[@taiko1237]

@@MrNatWhilk Yeah, in WoWs it's a hypothetical what if they were all 8 inchers.

[@mumflurfumperdink2507]

And on top of thar, being more accurate- the main reason cited for it not being adopted was the accuracy of the projectile and generally the navy thought the 5 inch was enough if they developed more shell types that can do bombardment better like RAP​@taiko1237

[@temporalrift1427]

the reason why the guns fit on a DD is because this is a fair bit more advanced than the DMs. the hint is in the designation, this is the single 8"/55 Mark 71 mount, developed for the Major Caliber Light Weight Gun (MCLWG) program of the '70s. historically, USS Hull was the testbed for this weapon system, so she received one example in place of the usual 5"/54 gun arming her sisters. they basically wanted a new shore bombardment weapon with more punch than the typical 5" gun could provide after the last remaining Clevelands and Baltimores aged out of service. the program got cancelled because the Carter administration was looking to cut defense spending. so tl;dr, there's been 20+ years of technological development between the DM's 8"/55RF Mark 16 guns, and the Hull's 8"/55 Mark 71 mount (the gun itself was either a Mark 28 or Mark 32 8"/55 gun, the USN switched naming conventions from the guns themselves to the mounts they came in after WW2). also no armor on these gun mounts. they end up a little less than twice as heavy as the regular Sherman 5"/54 Mark 42 mounts, so not even insanely heavy as far as weapon systems go. another thing to note is weegee has brought the rate of fire up from what is historical, these guns achieved a (still admittedly impressive) rate of fire of 12 rounds a minute, or a 5s reload, during testing.

There's one of these guns still in existence over at the US Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, VA at 38°19'39.17"N, 77° 1'32.55"W. It's part of a "gun line" that is used for R&D.

[@tehpyono2203]

I'm finding light cruisers are struggling more in these meta nowadays and now I see there's more pain for them to deal with... That said, I was looking forward to the hull and it seems, frankly broken so far. Will definitely be getting it.

[@Swarm509]

Been playing a lot of Tromp just because I want unique experiences, and based on that Hull looks like a must buy. Like Tromp I see why she will do in today's meta, you need long range guns/torps/drops and healing/speed to survive. And honestly I just want to play unique ships after playing WoWS since beta, and I don't want them super over powered. Hull is powerful, but she can be punished hard if played poorly or a DD killer gets a jump on you. Also been playing Groningen since I got her recently too. She might of been meta years ago but the days of the smoke/hydro/no torps spammers is gone with ships sitting so far away, or just willing to push you the moment the know where you are. Especially with how much radar/hydro is on strong DD's at tier 9/10. Team spotting is not much of a thing, and doing it yourself is crazy powerful especially if you can farm at the same time.

[@GrahamCStrouse]

The Hull is basically a Spruance class DD built in an alternate reality where missile technology doesn’t exist for some reason. Historically, the Hull WAS a Spruance class DD which was used as a test bed for the lightweight 8”/55 Mk 71 gun system. She only carried one for testing, however, and it was eventually removed. The WoWs Hull is an essentially Spruance which lost all of its missiles and had its aft reconfigured for a second and third gun. There’s an argument to be made for the USN to move on from the 5”/62 to modern version of the 8”/55 for ships that expect to be operating in the littorals. The 5” gun was great for its day but the need for a heavy DP gun that can be used against aerial and surface targets has kind of disappeared. The Mk 71 could absolutely be used for plinking drones, helos and other slow-moving aerial threats but if you want o knock down fast-movers you really need to use missile interceptors, EW or lighter weight dakka in the 40mm to 76mm range.

[@j-p_t7978]

I am currently grinding the Elbing line with ships, witch have ,,bad DPM". If you AP pen is good AND you have improved pen-angles it does not matter. Even in the bad Z-31, I got to 60-70k damage like it was nothing, while shooting at range open water or close range from smoke . Now this ship is pretty interesting for me, because it brings a similar playstyle, but with a super heal.

[@MGDMITRIEVITCH]

OMG those turrets look sooooo slick 🥺

[@shimmers61]

"Sneak up on the carrier" as the barbells are melting from non stop filtering and carnage the whole way alone lmao

[@EarlsBackYard]

I love doing that sneaking up on the carrier with destroyers like that and get a quick carrier take down it makes me feel pretty good knowing our carrier can run unopposed

[@angrybeargaming7756]

this thing divved up with a Sherman would just be dirty af

[@CedsBritishBrass34]

According to Ripper DD if played smart a Ragnar can actually deal with this thing pretty good. So i'm taking my Rag for a spin when i see this released, also i'm curious what a Lüshun might do to it

[@tsuaririndoku]

It’s kinda funny that this ship known for unstable platform because of how ridiculous the guns are and here we are shooting casually out DPM other DDs.

[@mikestion4629]

I love insane ideas like the Hull and the Libertad line. Unbalanced? _YES._ Stupid? Yeah. Fun? What the fuck else is the point of a video game if not _fun?_ I might just get the Hull for myself somewhere in the next five years! :P

[@anubhavdassarma7230]

Guess what they replace. Elbing and Schliffen.

[@SimersFM]

Fun for those that have not fun for those that don’t. That’s why balancing is important, you balance for everyone, not those that spend more money. Another WG fail.

[@AlternativeMeals]

Rolling in Incheon didnt matter if you did already have the ships as it would let you get them again before incheon. I already had 4 of the ships and got all 4 of them before i got a new ship and the last ship i got was incheon.

[@incontinentalbreakfast7526]

This happened to me too. I had all 6 other ships, and so I expected Incheon to be the first ship drop, but no... I gave up right there once I realized what I was looking at. Feels bad.

It was one of the ship I was looking the most forward to, was even ready to pay for it but now It will surely be my first pick in the RB (i'm a newer player), replacing the other Des Moines gun onwer the Illinois... I need to farm for it now lol

[@SecondariesEnthusiastt]

[@joedoe6444]

had a nice flashback when you were gunboating the PA BB. a few days ago in ranked my Jager was the last ship on my team vs 5 reds. one was a los andes that i had hit with several salvos of torps, but betrween weak torps and his healing i couldn't kill him. as soon as the game said it was all up to me i typed in open chat and told the LA i was gunna come and gun him to death, he and several of his team replied with various comments and i turned bow into the LA that was at about 6k away, i was 2/3 hp, he was at 20kish and his team was mostly blocked by islands from shooting me. as i was spotted i started to shoot expecting his secondaries to kill me off in no time, but he was bow on and must have had a good deal of his secondaries knocked out, i gunned him down to 2k hp before the DM on their team came around an island 3k away and blapped me. if it weren't for the DM i would have out gunned a PA BB in a JAGER..... good times.

[@Strykenine]

Not sure if I would pick this up, but it's an interesting take on the US gunboat DD. The turrets just look *scary.*

Hey PQ, I know this isnt ship request, but you didnt play numancia since your first impressions and after she was buffed last year in january, you didnt revisit her. Her dispersion penalty on the burst was removed, so shes only 25% more damage now. Please, try her, shes amazing fun!
