Dream ship!

Yamato's Worst Nightmare · 05-18-14, 12:48 AM

Alright, since I have no modding capability at all, I was wondering if someone would like to build the ultimate overkill platform?

I found this the other day and thought that it would be a beautiful ship to build! I already know that you cannot use planes on carriers but i was still curious if someone would like to build it!

that is the link for it.
This ship is something that you would see out of Naval Ops Warship Gunner, one of my other favorite games. SO if you would like to volunteer and unleash this beast upon Japan or America, since it does look more Japanese than anything, let me know

Thanks,

Yamato's Worst Nightmare

Before you start building that... PLEASE notify the Dutch government.

Taking into acount the melting of polar ice and a couple glaciers and on top of that having that on the ocean, they're gonna need to raise the dijks by 10m to be safe.

I'm thinking that any power that actually built such a thing, wouldn't have any funds left over for escorts, aircraft, shells, fuel,..... bread....

I hope someone makes the mod, I look forward to sinking it.

Lol So? Somebody get ahold of bismarck or silverwolf! They know how to build it. If I knew how I would!

Yamato's Worst Nightmare! I think it's a bit much. Kind of like the 'King Tiger' tank in the Battle of the Bulge...we captured a few and wondered "What were they thinking!!?" bigger in WWII was seldom better! Numbers of cheap weapons "had a cachet of their own" like the Sherman or Russian T-38 for example.

My current Iowa class: 9 x 16" Main guns, 30 x 8" Secondary guns, 160 x 40mm Bofors AA, 4 x 20mm Oerlikon AA, 30 Mk 14 torpedoes.

I'm going to triple stack the main batteries giving me 27 16" guns, then I will trade out the aircraft launchers for 2 14" triple mounts, and another 14" triple mount in front.

I will gladly put it head to head with that monstrosity and see what comes out on top

That ship 1 on 1 vs a Gato... I think you're right merc, one fleet boat could take that thing down, plus it presents such a huge target you CAN'T miss

Let me help!

I saw this in person from atop Ft. Point under the Golden Gate Bridge! USS Iowa: "The Big Stick" Probably the last time a 'battleship' will pass under the bridge!

So, any takers on making this mod? :P If you do I'll probably worship you for the rest of eternity....or until Silent Hunter 6 comes out, whatever comes first.

I used to be part of a website that had a ship designers forum. Someone had written a program that would let you design ships to fit any era. The on caveat was that the program followed real-world rules: Everything you added had to be paid for. More guns meant more strain on the hull, and/or less armor. You could design what you could dream up, but it had to actually work.

I was never any good at it.

Well SH4 doesn't have that limitation, and my Iowa will be completely ridiculous
