It's a good idea and all, but combined with British HE, lasting battleship presence, and endurance, it would be quite an unwelcomed change... But, not a bad idea. Making DoY unique among British bbs as a high-impact battleship, instead of a brainless bb damage farm like the others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Answer: Because putting radar on a battleship was a bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Khab with 100 points left wanted to smoke up 6km from my Missouri. One klick, he light up and was killed 3 seconds later by my secondaries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel it'll return. Or at least sold when it does for an increased premium. But I do feel like the radar on the DoY would be a neat version of the ship.

Really they could let her keep the hydro and just make the rest of her stats like the tech tree KGV. That would make her at least fun which would make her a better premium then the POS she is now.

1,148 [NDA] kerensky914 Supertester 3,926 posts 2,772 battles Report post #11 Posted December 19, 2017 How about a new 'fire-control radar' consumable. Only allows firing lock on BB/CV. For CL/DD it functions like RPF, or maybe just shows it on the minimap or something. In exchange, it provides a dispersion bonus against ships you can lock. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, the one that was interesting and made something good of gimmicks, a rarity in this game. Because it was a terrible idea. If you want a battleship that plays as a cruiser, play the Scharnhorst. Or. . . if you want to customer build a new one, there are plenty of battlecruisers out there that are perfectly suited to that sort of thing. This was a square peg in a round hole and had the predictable disastrous results. All they needed to do was a "Premium KGV." It wasn't hard. They overthought the whole thing.

5,912 [CNO] Soshi_Sone Members 7,450 posts 23,087 battles Report post #15 Posted December 20, 2017 Even just one charge would do it. With premium and superintendent, it would have three. The cost being superintendent...which would play nicely with the reduced number of DCP...not to mention also play with history as the DoY radar actually did go out during the battle...but they got it working again.

6,776 [SIM] SkaerKrow Members 6,307 posts 10,286 battles Report post #16 Posted December 20, 2017 It’s an interesting idea. Losing hydro would make the ship torpedo blind, which is a big deal. It would be a buff overall, but not a huge one, and would certainly change the role of the ship a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
