306 [UDEAD] NCC81701 Beta Testers 994 posts 12,711 battles Report post #3 Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Maybe because they were never built, but for me the Montana and GK have an odd "uncanny valley" feel to them.

789 DerKrampus Members 1,853 posts 3,584 battles Report post #4 Posted December 13, 2016 Aesthetically, gotta go with Yamato. GK's superstructure just doesn't do it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,205 GhostSwordsman Members 6,621 posts 8,658 battles Report post #5 Posted December 13, 2016 Voted for Yamato, though I'm not really fond of any of the T10 BBs aesthetically. You want a beautiful looking BB, then my vote would be for WG's idea of how Amagi would have looked if she'd been modernized in to a fast BB, like the Kongo's, rather than an aircraft carrier like she was historically.

273 [AAYC] Siegewolf Beta Testers 791 posts 18,755 battles Report post #6 Posted December 13, 2016 For me Germans designed things to look smexy and be lethal. Sure T10, for the Germans, is a fantasy but if you look to the ships that were built IMHO the those ships have character. Don't get me wrong, the Yamato is cool looking too just my opinion that German ships look more interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bow, stern, proportions, turrets, superstructure, AA guns, secondary battery... They're all very aesthetically pleasing and very crisp-cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,080 1Sherman Alpha Tester 6,683 posts 3,338 battles Report post #13 Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Though I'll most likely be getting the Montana first out of the three (even though that's still a LONG ways off), I'd go with the GK because it's immune to citadels, and practicality is the most beautiful trait of all in any war machine.

1,662 [CALM] YamatoA150 Beta Testers 6,838 posts 6,088 battles Report post #16 Posted December 14, 2016 1. Yamato - Built and exudes power with the sheer number of AA and secondaries she has, as well as a unique solid pagoda mast. Also has a superstructure with tiered defensive emplacements, giving off that fortress feel, and an angled funnel that gives an illusion of having some speed as well. Her compactness also amplifies the look, with how tightly clustered the weaponry are and just giving off that feeling of bristling like a porcupine. 2. Kurfurst - Has that fortress-like aesthetic going with her superstructure and weaponry (castles, the Reichbunker, and flak towers). My only complaint is the lack of more secondaries around Turrets 2 and 3 and how relatively clean her front and aft deck are (not even a few extra short-range AA mounts along Turret 1's "barricade" or near Turret 4). Also unusual catapult location; I'm still wondering how the heck a plane can even be stored and launched from it. 3. Montana - "How minimalistic can we go?" Overall the most disappointing. It just doesn't exude that feeling of might or strength beyond an impressive 12 cannons in her own right. But the turret designs are minimalistic, the superstructure as compact as possible, and the relatively bulky secondary assemblies kind of ruin the look. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
485 Cruiser_Maya Members 1,216 posts 951 battles Report post #17 Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Not even a question for me: Yamato - love everything about it, really, from it's somewhat-stubby hullform, to the armored citadel ringed fortress-like by AA and secondary batteries, to the aircraft facilities at the stern, to the downslope of the foc'sle that actually places A turret a deck below B/C. Marvelous looking ship. Edited December 14, 2016 by Cruiser_Maya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25 Caffynated Members 49 posts 1,828 battles Report post #18 Posted December 14, 2016 Yamato is ugly AF so she's out immediately. Main turrets, GK. Secondary/AA Montana. Superstructure GK (though I like Montana's bridge better). Hull shape Montana (GK is too wide and it makes her guns look small). Overall I'd say Montana as a slim preference over GK.
