4,791 [HINON] dseehafer Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 8,856 posts 3,680 battles Report post #1 Posted June 30, 2017 Greetings all, The game goes as the title suggests, do you think the ship is good looking or not? This is, of course, all a matter of opinion but the outcome will hopefully tell us whether most people think X ship is Hot or Not! People are always gawking over good looking ships like Scharnhorst, Iowa, and Littorio so we'll avoid those and focus on other ships. Today we'll be looking at an especially curvy lady, the French Pre-Dreadnought Massena. Please cast your votes based purely on looks. Try not to let history, design or national biases influence your vote.

4,791 [HINON] dseehafer Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 8,856 posts 3,680 battles Report post #2 Posted June 30, 2017 I voted Hot. I like Steampunky things and late 19th-century French warships match that description perfectly. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know. Note how I used ironclad. Because seriously, what are the windows there for? To wave a thousand French flags? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The French pre-dreads were just not good looking in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

421 [HINON] Jnobsire Members 1,591 posts 20,010 battles Report post #18 Posted June 30, 2017 I'm impartial. There are aspects of this ship I like, yet also other parts that have me scratching my head in confusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
160 [INK3S] Dictonary Beta Testers 1,817 posts 6,754 battles Report post #19 Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Thankfully someone saved the plans that the French navy released. Here are the plans if anyone wants them. Plans for Battleship Massena Warning: They are in French due to the fact that these plans were released by the French Navy were in French. Edited June 30, 2017 by Dictonary The plans are in French. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
