It is complete WG fantasy but is inspired by real elements (multiple H-proposal iterations and design sketches for triple turrets proposed for sale to the USSR).

Yeah there were multiple models of the H Class of Battleship so they could pick one of them and it would easily fit in nicely. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-class_battleship_proposals#Designs I like H43 and H44 AA defenses but main guns honestly would be a bit much.

I really think the only time a paper or fictional ship should be in the game is to fill in obvious holes in a tech tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turrets were a design the Germans sold the Russians but never intended to use themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
