146 Iron_Knickers Beta Testers 701 posts 1,305 battles Report post #1 Posted March 28, 2016 The amount of rust on the North Carolina B Hull is characteristic of a ship that would be commonly found in a mothball fleet. These are active duty US Navy Battleships, and though you can definitely expect rust, especially after long use with no respite, I don't think the hull of this ship would have ever looked this bad. I like rust on ships simply because it seems more realistic, but it really goes overboard some times, especially when it comes to some sort of moss or crap, which is totally cleanable by the ships crew.

They are too busy drinking to ensure the secondary battery will never hit anything. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are too busy drinking to ensure the secondary battery will never hit anything. And the main batteries. Remember, this is the North Carolina, pinnacle of all terrible BB dispersion.

The Russian designers are so accustomed to looking at their own heinous excuse for a fleet that they forgot what a real navy looked like.

Haha well done, however if I were you I wouldn't incur the wrath of the Russian devs. They have already held back on not making their Russian ships (besides the premium ones), ridiculously OP.

Obviously this one must be a Russian ship since its rusty as [edited] That's lightly rusty at best, not compared to these garbagly ugly mothballed ships. I don't care what 'excuse' you have to give, no active service ship that I have ever seen looked like it was just sitting in place for nearly twenty years like these things do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
