Belated Battleships (KanColle) [REHOST]

Nagato: I have sortied the Fleet! Where are the enemy

Akatsuki: Akagi ate them...
 
So... This happened:

Because Japan. There's probably all sorts of reasons. The curve of the hull. The measure of the guns. The arrangement of the turrets. Perhaps even the slant of the armor or placement of the bridge. Whatever it is...

Artistic interpretations aside, I think Musashi is where you really get into that range.

I'm just going to copy-paste from SB:



Also, I agree with SaltyWaffles: if the leveling effect buffs Abyssals so much that it makes any conventional engagement with them a 1:1 or even a 2:1 exchange in favor of conventional forces, it makes them functionally useless as a fighting force. Modern forces just can't produce the amount of forces to do that kind of exchange. Not only does it imply that nations without Kanmusu are 100% screwed, it makes them non-entities compared to the Kanmusu. At that point, it'd be pretty much like just reading a WW2 fic. There has to be some give here if you want modern forces to be pertinent in any way, because as is, they can't even provide scouting and intelligence if Abyssals can't be picked up on modern radar.

Honestly, making the Abyssal planes exempt from the leveling effect would probably go a large way to giving the modern day forces a boost. It keeps them from being at the mercy of a random Wo class and doesn't really remove any of the biggest advantages the Abyssals have. Abyssals still have their loltacular strategic manueverability and seemingly endless number of reserves. Even if modern forces can get ridiculous kill ratios on the Abyssal aviation, it doesn't change the fact that there are only so many missiles and jets which means that large Abyssal air assaults are still going to be murder to try and beat back. It'll also help with getting joint conventional-kanmusu task forces going where the modern day forces can provide the long range AA support that would let the battleships close and duke it out

Will cut and paste to SB, myself, but people aren't talking to actual pilots, or reading results.

Jets _while having more energy DEPLOYABLE_ (note: Saber did NOT have more 'thrust' than a late Lighitng or some of the proposed Mustangs, btw, just better deployment of the energy budget) cannot turn as good as a prop plane, and _lose_ more energy in a turn or like activites than a prop. Period, dot. Every pilot I have talked to states this. PILOTS. What the jet CAN do that a Prop CANNOT? is _power though_ the turn, and add energy generally BETTER than a Prop. Not to mention several airflow issues, as well based on frames and similar. Jets can't turn as much as prop planes, oddly enough because their frames are better desgined for speed. (The raptor regains some of that due to vectored thrust, it's why the Harrier is a evil jet to fight against, etc) Note the best STOL planes... and what they share. I'm leaving it to the reader to realize what I'm referring to.

However, I never ASSUMED the jets were going one on one, or 2 on 1.

I stated GENERALLY 6 on 1, plus fighter pilots ('spc now, the Navy's disbanded Top Gun, for example) aren't TRAINED to go for their guns, and deal.
1 on 1, assuming equal pilots, assuming awareness of threat? Yep. Jets win. 2 on 1, jet should win. EVEN without missiles in the equation.

6 on 1? You have a problem, Houston... Just remove the missiles from the equation, and most jets face a SERIOUS problem if the numbers are as I'm projecting. Note: Pilot early on (Tripp, I belive) has been fighting for a while, and racking up kills. He didn't say they were GOOD dogfighters, just that they had a decent chance. Nor why. Numbers matter.
 
You know, considering that Jersey sometimes feels like she's a bit self-conscious at times compared to older battleships, I suppose that she should consider herself lucky that none of the Tillman designs were completed.

Yeah, 24 16-Inch, 50 Cal guns in sextuple turrets... Just imagine what they would have looked like.
 
Ahh, yes... The Maximum Battleship.

The Super Robot of the battleship class. All it was missing was the ability to combine with other Tillmans.

They could probably end up looking... almost grotesque depending on how their proportions carried over.
 
Crossposting from the SB thread: look what just dropped in Kancolle this month:



Lgear on SB said:
While it's only equipment for now, these ranking rewards are reliable portents of upcoming shipgirls, going by how the German and Italian shipgirls were introduced, and the devs have already confirmed that the shipgirl carrying said equipment will be implemented later this year. So yes, our first US shipgirl in Kancolle is going to be an Iowa class.

Here's a close-up of the fairy:

 
I have reason to believe yes.

I really hope they give the ship a good design. Preferably by the Sendais' artist.

So far, the trend seems to be that foreign shipgirls are designed by a single dedicated artist outside the usual pool - All the German shipgirls have been drawn by Fumikane Shimada (of Strike Witches fame), and all the Italian shipgirls have been drawn by jiji.

If they continue the above pattern, then they'll get an entirely new artist dedicated to drawing the USN ships.

Main while in a room somewhere.

Jeanx: "THEY WANT ME?!?!" *faint*


Jean X is the guy who does the Pacifics artwork.

I would totally be okay with that. But I would like a bit of a redesign for some.

Oooh... If they got the artist from Maoyuu, that'd be something. Can't remember the name though.

You know, since I like to make Jersey laugh, here's some alternate versions of her that some have drawn up:

Jersey: I... well, that second just looks like.. why am I wearing a chines dress? Do I look Chinese? This armor is fucking perfect. The first one though... It's not me, but I kinda like it. It's nice to see someone draw a battleship without tits the size of fucking... Canada.
