Followed by the area around the bridge.
When it comes down to a couple inches and something with no armor penetration, I don’t it’d make a difference
Yeah
Iowa's also had the best fire control system of any battleship...
What do you guys think of my jerry rigged tank destroyer born out of sheer absolute boredom
It's beautiful
Those guns are so big in comparison to the chassis
XD
I love it
I’m amazed that the mount even fit the flak guns “turret ring”
12.8 cm
Lol
Not just 12.8cm tho its even an duel one
The turrets on an Iowa class battleship were literally the most secure places on the ship, which into two entrances, one being on the bottom of the turret on the top deck, and the other being 5 decks down at the base of the turret.
Safest unless you were inside it when out of battery happens
Oh god.
Is it possible to out of battery a 16 inch naval gun?
Technically I would be right
Get your war predictions in now!
USA vs Russia vs China!
the biggest win would be to turn the other two against each other
Yup
Russia would control the skies
but china would have the funds
Yeah
Russia would rule the skies and AA area. They also have better tanks.
But as you said china has the funds.
can you say russia has the better tanks when they're all designed for different purposes?
well, the issue is that both China and Russia havent exactly properly entered into the realm of Stealth combat technologies and aircraft mounted cyberware suites, unlike the US which has heavily invested into the idea of both since the 70's and 80's
meaning that, even tho yes China and Russia would have the numbers advantage in the sky, that means nothing if you cant see where the enemy is thats downing your aircraft
for Russia, they over the past 10-20 years have faced economic troubles due to their exploits in many regions across the world that they can no longer sustain, which has bled into their progress into developing proper Stealth Aircraft, hell Russia's supposed big and powerfull SU-57 suffered from this as it was supposed to be co-developed and produced with India, but satisfaction of the project with India faltered massivly a couple of years ago so now the aircraft is in a state of limbo with less than 20 having been actually produced and not all the technologies for it being fully developed and it is likely the aircraft will be cancelled all together as currently Russia has to pay the brunt of its costs due to India pulling out of the deal.
Russia's tanks are pretty good. They do have the largest amount of tanks but how many are fully operational is anyone's guess lmfao.
and China, well their latest attempt at doing a Stealth Aircraft are in mixed results, especially after during its 1st reveal flight of a recent attempt at theres one of the demonstrator aircraft alsmost totalled itself before it ever left the runway as it wasnt properly built in the factory and thourouly tested prior to the public reveal
China's stealth jets are paper tigers. Don't have much of an opinion on them.
the problem with russian tanks is that they're really only good in flat terrain
yeah
Didn't know that that's a factor for sure though.
unless the t14 has better gun depression
and europe relies on the US lol
they are great, but they require a very specific set of terrain as almost all of their designs for designed to storm Europes flatlands through Germany
