well not the B52 lol

Of course not lol

Lol the Antonov

or atleast i dont think

Don't think a B-52 can. A B-1 can though

yeah it cant, the only thing that would come up is 1994 Fairchild Air Force Base B-52 Plane Crash

Makes sense that a B-1 can considering it's built more like a large fighter than the B-52 is.

yeah

Just imagine Warthunder got the B-52

i wonder what it would be like

I'm sure that people would try to land them on top of each other.

With limited success

yes

and then prob suicide carpet bomb the enemy lol

the ultimate "Revenge Kill machine"

@Hot babe VK168.01 (P) @E Pluribus Unum Old battleships could easily take multiple missiles and bombs and keep going.

modern anti ship weapons aren’t made to punch through much armor

The US’s “museum” naval ships make the second largest navy on earth.

Wait what ?

That mean armor on battleships is still useful ?

yes

absolutely

Most ships today are very thinly armored

That is cool

That's awesome

Modern day anti-ship missiles at least to my knowledge aren't made to penetrate armor.

IJN Musashi survived 17 bomb and 19 torpedo hits before going under.

The only reason a modern Destroyer would win against a WW2 era battleship is due to the fact that they have the accuracy to disable, not sink, a battleship

Yeah

A destroyer would see a battleship long before the battleship could see the destroyer. And thus the destroyer can control the means of engagement.

how would it disable it if it can't penetrate it

The reason anti-ship missiles aren't made to penetrate armor is because no ship today has armor

Also an Iowa Class battleship has about 4x the range of a modern Arleigh Burke Class destroyer. It could literally run the destroyer down.

Not to mention the battleships used since WW2 have CIWS, missiles (anti-ship, anti-air, and sea to ground), radar, and are not slow ships.

Oh btw the Iowa Class still has its original WW2 fire control system because it's ridiculously accurate for dropping 2 ton shells 20+ miles away

Hitting it in the bridge, funnels etc is disabling it. That would by no means take it out though.

I think both ships survive the engagement at long range.

At ranges closer than let's say 50 miles, and the battleship wins hands down.

missiles target ships, not parts of ships

also the conning tower of a battleship has up to a foot and half of armor
