Hers just put battleship guns on a cruiser
And give it torpedo tubes
Is it a super heavy? An assault tank? A gun motor carriage? A tank destroyer? A *howitzer motor carriage*?
Scharnhorst was a battle cruiser with too much armor, a battleship with too little gun, a cruiser that's too god damn big.
Can’t deny she worked well enough though
Just didn’t fit conventional roles
Oh absolutely, they were fantastic vessels
Daily reminder the bismark was a ghost ship
But even the Germans were like "yeah we don't know how to classify this"
It bullshitted it's way out of trouble by calling itself a cruiser
Daily reminder that the British never penetrated her belt or deck.
Turtle back stronk
Her citadel was completely untouched.
Peter whats-his-face that did Avatar does a shitload of deep-sea exploration
And he examined the wreck of Bismarck
All the fatal damage was done from blasts originating within the hull
F
*sink me bitch I dare you*
she committed sudoku
Lets be real here, the British rarely sank German ships
All the famous British "victories" over the Kriegsmarine were the result of the Germans scuttling their vessel.
Even Jutland was a shitshow for Britain
How they managed to be a naval empire for so long fucking bamboozles me
Because Germany ignored them
And America didn't fight them
IIRC France actually overtook them in the Pre-WWI period
And Japan was too far away
Italy was bottled up
Oh god when the Brits fought the Japanese in WWII
Jesus christ the Japs fucked the Brits so badly
whoops we’re both set up for battleship stuff oh god oh fuck they’re better at it than us
The RM fucking dunking all over the RN in the Med even with a command structure that didn't want to lose anything
Because the RM had magnificent ships with trained crews
Any time the RN fought anybody that wasn't a third world nation they got their asses raped.
Even the French Navy put up a better show than the RN
>gets captured in port
>gets scuttled by the allies
“Better show”
*that's the joke*
Ahh
Also, lets talk about the retarded French copy of the retarded British H-class submarine
Which is what
