Belated Battleships (KanColle) [REHOST]

Reader mode
I am prettty sure Skywalker means for Boreal Battlecruiser* Princess to be one of the other Admiral-class battlecruisers. Remember that the Mighty 'Ood blew up in her first engagement. The only ships that died while she lived would be the ones scrapped because of the Washington Naval Treaty. Besides, Abyssal Bismarck and Tirpitz are off in the Pacific.

*As distinct from Atomic Battlecruiser Princess...

can't be FW-190's, I thought those were square winged.

You know any other long-nosed, big-tailed, round-winged German fighters?

Messerschmidt Bf. 109 Perhaps? (Most likely, if not: google-sama is best bet)

EDIT: Wasn't there an Italian Copy of the 109? It had rounded wings

Italy used 109's, I don't know about a copy.

Can't be a Bf-109T, a Seafire would eat one of those for Breakfast. The performance of the Bf-109T was on par with the Bf-109 E series.

But, an Italian Reggiane Re.2001 OR Serie II is a real possibility, the Re. 2001 could dogfight with Spitfires, plus it was quick.

Another possibility is likely the Reggiane Re. 2005, now while their wasn't a Carrier model, this thing was a handful for Spitfire and Mustangs to handle, it had a serious amount of firepower as well, two 12.7mm Breda Machine Guns firing through the propeller arc, one 20mm MG 151 Cannon firing through the propeller hub, and two 20mm MG 151 Cannons in the wings.

But I am still betting on Reggiane Re. 2001 OR Serie IIs.

Well, the Re 2000s were added to the Kancolle game... but then we'd have to ask why a German carrier is using Italian fighters.

OK, for argument's say let's assume you're right.
What British planes are being referred to then?
 
There's nothing in the rules that says an Abyssal fleet can't include ships from multiple nations, is there? When Ari and the Sasebo girls fought Battleship Princess, there were definitely mixed nationalities out there. Not sure about Northern Princess. Atomic Battlecruiser Princess had only American-derived escorts, but then she only had three escorts to begin with, not a fleet.

To be fair, I had a CC Princess planned from way back in June. JMP ninja'ed me.

Never said the carrier was German. Or British, for that matter.
 
Nitpick: assuming you're right, and I believe that you are... it's an Abyssalized Aquila-class carrier.

Remember, Abyssal ships are not the real ships they mirror. If they were, there could never have been an Abyssalized Habbakuk, or three Abyssalized Nelsons to escort it.

The first time I read the theory of this new Abyssal being an Admiral-class, I could only picture one thing in my mind:

"Let me confirm: your magazines are secure?"

(Yes, I know it's a debated subject nowadays, but I couldn't help but think of Bismark doing a Heero Yuy.)

Now I can't get out of my head this image of Bismarck rolling in a Texas-style "Big Damn Hero" moment as Abyssmiral closes in, saying "the thing about these things, you gotta hit them" - a single gun fires - "in just the right spot." *Abyssmiral explodes*

For some reason, I am imaging that Abyssal Fleet appearing out of that squall that is rather close to where Hood, Braham, Grafton, and Glowworm are. In the ensuing action, which quickly turns into a running gun battle, the Boreal Battlecruiser Princess as everyone seems to be calling this Abyssal scores a pair of lucky hits on Hood, with one shell destroying a turbine and another shell wiping out a boiler room. Thus causing Hood to lose a lot of speed, failing behind even Barham and out of formation. Just as support in the form of the rest of the Royal Navy Ship Girls as well as the Type 45 Destroyer HMS Daring, the Type 42 Destroyer HMS Edinburg, and the Type 23 Frigate HMS Iron Duke the only three conventional ships that also managed to get out of port and begin to move with the Relief Force arrives, the Boreal Battlecruiser Princess sinks Hood, causing the whole force to go into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge; what ensues becomes known as the North Sea Turkey Shoot, where the entire Abyssal Force is completely destroyed by a beyond pissed off force of Royal Navy Ship Girls and Mundane Ships, the most notable moment is when HMS Iron Duke engages and destroys in pitched combat an enemy destroyer that had been lining up for a torpedo run on Barham, although the staunch Type 23 suffers more than it's fair share of wounds, most notably the main mast having been completely shot away.

The Random Capitalization of all sorts of Nouns that do not need Capitalizing is starting to make my eyes hurt.

Thor, in the English language, capitalization is applied to the following things:
-The start of a sentence.
-Proper nouns which refer to a specific, unique entity or place.
-Certain very specific kinds of adjectives (e.g. nationality and religion).

Please remember that, aside from any complaints about the ENOUGH WITH THE MODERN SHIPS ALREADY GEEZ.

I really didn't get the point of this.

Judging by how everyone reacted to your some of your posts; I'm gonna assume you're thinking that the Conventional Ship Navy needs more screen time in the story.

Thor, enter-chan is sad. Give her more head-taps.

My reasoning here is that when the Royal Navy HQ hear's that Hood is in trouble, I was thinking that well, it would pretty much be a where everything that can get their in a reasonable amount of time is told to simply charge out their, Abyssals be damned! Mainly because it makes some sense when you think about it. Hearing that Hood is in trouble, the Royal Navy not only will send all avabilable Kanmusu, but any and all regular units that can also make it their. It has some merit when you think about it.

I'm betting the 2005. The 2001 would be sitting ducks if the British pilots have any brains given the severe drop off in performance above 20,000.

Or, given how battleships are to each other at times: "Nobody hits Hood but me." Of course, Freud does his thing and it actually comes out as "Nobody hits on Hood but me."
 
hey what airgroups are Vicky and her sister packing... because if its their mid 43 or later arrangements, I wouldn't be putting much faith in those birds if I was Admiral princess.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned (and don't feel like trawling 384 pages to find out) but would Akron and Macon return as animals or shipgirls? I mean, displacement doesn't exactly apply, so... I'unno.

Akron's already shown up (she's the one who radioed in the Atomic Battlecruiser Princess in the first place.) And she's an airheaded meme-spewing catgirl.
