That could clue us in on the caliber, although I expect 18" based on the fact there's only eight of them... and holy crap, is THAT RADAR?!?!?!!? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't know jack.... https://thedailybounce.net/2017/06/05/world-of-warships-british-royal-navy-battleships-confirmed/ "Some new information just arrived by email, it seems it’s not the HMS Vanguard, but a Lion-class armed with proposed 4×2 457mm guns." "And even more information. It seems some images suggest it could be in fact a Design L2 Battleship, with 4×2 18″ guns. Comparing these images with the game screen grab, we can see they are very similar. What do you think?" Edited June 5, 2017 by Carrier_Lexington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
589 [NAVAL] jmanII Banned 1,416 posts Report post #14 Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Transom stern, two funnels, 8x guns - Looks very similar to Vanguard - makes sense that it would be the Lion as the Vanguard was derived from the Lion designs. Would have thought that the guns would be 16", but for balance purposes, could be 18". Even has the secondaries and the AA guns in the correct place. http://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=MbK%2fCRCq&id=446B8035AAAE0A9C5D5BE04E951396AC6C91B8D7&thid=OIP.MbK_CRCqoT7v-55bpXq6XgEaDd&q=hms+vanguard&simid=608040115054119514&selectedIndex=19&ajaxhist=0 Edit - was confirmed to be a derivative of the Lion with 18" guns called the Conqueror.

The OP's assertion of K2 Design in the 4x2 18" gun manifestation would make sense for a Tier X ship. The actual Vanguard was armed w/ repurposed 15" guns from an earlier ship era & tho it may appear in the line, would be misplaced at Tier X for balance reasons. Assuming this is real and not a photoshop, I can see WG marrying the Vanguard appearance (I.e. Since it was the last real British BB, it reflects the progression of design philosophy for the most recent in line) w/ suitable gun parameters to make it a competitive tier X (given for game balance reasons, the T10 would be expected to be a paper ship).

Also did any one notice to get radar this BB had to give up a repair and a catapult aircraft. I'm pretty sure the British have as much if not more right to radar on all their ships then the US. The British started the war with Radar, the US fitted about mid-war. Also the British taught the US a few tricks for using radar and carriers ( see USS Robin ).
