Today, we're focusing on a special Premium Tier X ship from the branch of British battleships-Thunderer. The project of the Royal Navy battleship with increased firepower was designed taking into account British shipbuilding experience of the World War II period. The ship is armed with 457 mm main battery guns that were developed in the early 1920s and were the most powerful British naval artillery systems.
Take a look at the British battleship from an unusual angle!

I would love to see South American Pre WW I designs which led to South American naval arms race circa 1910. Reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivadavia-class_battleship. As an SA WoT player and into WoWs I'd like to see more love with local navies (thx for the 9 de Julio btw). Some were very powerful for their time and had unique designs like these Dreadnoughts. Also looking into having one of our WoT CCs get into WoWs as well. Who do we have to talk to about this? kzread.info. Thank you in advance.

Alan Raven, David Brown and Norman Friedman etc. - They make no mention of such an 18" design, presumably because 16" were the priority from the last 3 KGV's and Lion, and that none of the 18"/45 Mk. II that the 1920/1921 designs L2 and N3 would have been armed with existed in steel. I have been cataloguing the fantasy ships in game, we have seen quite a few recent additions.

I really like how there is narration now about the history fo the ship and some of the information you discovered during the modeling process. I wish there was a Little White Mouse reference! Good stuff Wargaming! Keep it up!
Wow, I love the narration!:) So interesting to hear the story behind these ships; those that were not built eventually are even more interesting for me.
Nice job indeed! My one caveat is description of the main & secondary batteries in metric. They were 16” guns and 5.25” dual-purpose guns, thank you very much. The latter probably would have had stand-alone radars like the (scrapped! 1960😢) HMS Vanguard...

The Sovetskaja Ukraina of the Soyuz class was actually quite far along in production being built all the way up to the main deck. It was captured by the Germans who stripped it of many of it artillery pieces. They tried building it later but when Germany started retreating they just scuttled it. Montana never made it that far as it was scrapped around after the battle of Midway.

@@yesman2948 Actually from what I’ve found none of the Montana class were never laid down and were only ideas on paper. As for the Sovetsky Soyuz class three were laid down with the lead ship Soyuz being the most complete at about 20% in mid 1941 and only about 15,000 tons of steel were laid down for the Soyuz before the war began with the Germans. The Sovetskaja Ukraina was actually only 17% complete so not even close to being built up the decks like you said but only about a quarter of the lower hull was ever constructed for the Ukraina. And really the main reason they didn’t progress much beyond that was because of faulty materials like rivets and steel plating that were found to be of inferior quality. Anyway that’s just what I found from doing research.
It comes out mid September 2019?!?! Can't wait!!! Oh...... It's November you say?? Ah, timely.....

Unlikely due to the name being associated with the CV, but Constellation or Constitution would be good replacements since they were among the names of the ones that just got cancelled and scrapped rather than converted. Although I'd imagine they'd need a ton of hypothetical modernization to fit in the game. Their protection is quite awful even for a battlecruiser of that period and they'd probably end up at minumum of T7 given their 16"/50 guns which would give them a hell of a lot of firepower.
so its a mark 1 gun yet has all the accuracy but a mark 7 50 cal 16 in gun gets 1.8 dispersion
By the way, why Ohio's MK A change to MK1?

@ - Tier 3 is as far as I know an invention. Tier 5 is a paper project based on the Kongo design by one of the shipyards in St Petersburg. Tier 6 is a Borodino class battlecruiser designed prior to the revolution and actually laid down. Tier 7 is a Putilov design for a 12 x 16" gunned battleship designed in Tsarist times as a follow on to the Borodino's but with the Q turret removed, though most designs followed the Gangut/Borodino layout for turrets all at deck level. Tier 8 is the Ansaldo UP-41 design supplied to the Russians when bidding to supply them with the large battleship they wanted. Tier 9 is the Sovetsky Soyuz, actually laid down in WWII and hulls were captured by the Germans in Barbarossa, and photographed at Nikolaiev yards iirc. Tier 10. I think it is a post war paper project for completing the Sovetsky Soyuz mostly to make the US worry about them, they also leaked designs with domes in place of turrets, claiming they were completed as missile battleships. They only admitted this was a masive hoax after about 20 years, though it was fairly obvious from the mid-1950s.

The project began in 2018 to 2019 by LittleWhiteMouse and was stolen without reference. The ship was originally a work of satire, but we at WG decided to make it a reality and here it is.
This episode was a great delight and, as always, very informative. I know the trolls would say "anyone can get this info if they search for it". I say, 1- I work full time with a decent amount of overtime and "On-Call" periodically So I do not have a lot of extra time which makes these presentations and videos even more enticing for me, personally. 2- I love any type of Military History, I am definatly a Military History Enthusiast, so these videos especially resonate with me, also the "Naval Legends, Full Ahead, Dry Docks" ETC: 3- Almost or actually all content that World of Warships makes, at least what I've seen, is generally informative, well researched, presented well and has Great Quality to it. 4- If you check out War Gaming's other platforms, World of Planes= No info, World of Tanks=Micheal Lovin? Eh Um Ah uh.... No, just NO and I don't hear about anything else that pertains to WGing. 5- So I say... Carry On World of Warships and I give you and all your hard working Co-Workers, designers, editors :ETC A Huge Thumbs UP !!! Also I would love to see and hear about the USS Pittsburgh who had her bow tore off during a Cyclone in the Pacific War. I had an Uncle who was stationed aboard her during his WWII Service and had briefly told me about it some years back. But like I didn't get any details when I was younger and like so many others, failed to question him before he passed away 12 years ago. But he did mention it and it would be an interesting segment, I think?
