But with a similar armor layout as the Admiral class.. She'd pack one helluva punch with those 20" guns, but also VERY vulnerable to plunging fire... Might be a bit OP for WoWs though.. :Smile_trollface: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She might be f-ing fast, but that won't help much against good rangefinders once she gets in range of a BB's guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
