Could by quite unique due to turret placement. Well the report of it scoring a hit with a torpedo, was never really confirmed. John Grindle, decided it was most likely that Bismarck was headed to Brest and so set course to the East to head Bismarck off, 'at some stages exceeding her designed speed by two knots' despite her engines being in need of an overhaul. Another class of BC that were not really BCs were the Courageous class, they are more along the lines of large light cruisers, with armour being in places half the thickness of the Renown's (i.e. Of course WG also said a blunt No to submarinos and well.. that's happening.

By 3 hours ago, Lord_Holland_of_Wessex said: You misspelt the Royal Navys greatest Captains name, get to the brig OMG, yes, well spotted, send in the press gang now, I will go peacefully, how embarrassed am I right now being a Brit, lol Nelson, Admiral … WG Please implement HMS Rodney (with torps) as a … I'm fairly sure WG have just said blanket Nos to non-deck mounted torpedoes. Well...it's the only BB ever to torpedo another BB, so it would feel a little unfair to me for it not to have it. While they are at it adding them to Hood they can go and add them to the Dreadnought, Bellerophon, Orion, Iron Duke, Queen Elizabeth, Warspite and Nelson - all of those ships also had torpedo tubes, in fact pretty much all British Dreadnought-style BBs mounted torpedo tubes up until the 1939 KGV class that class and Vanguard did not mount them, in fact some possibly most if not all British Pre-Dreadnoughts also mounted torpedo tubes. Unable to manoeuver and listing to port, Bismarck scored no hits before her forward guns were knocked out, after which Rodney closed with Bismarck until she was firing on a virtually flat trajectory, and spotters could actually follow the shells to the target. To be honest, it only had 2 x 1 torpedo launchers, and if they were restricted to a small (5°) firing arc I don't see why not. Commissioned in 1927, Rodney served extensively in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean during World War II.She played a major role in the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941. Found a post on Instagram from a British magazine printed during WWII that had some details on HMS Rodney (HMS Nelson's sister ship). Would also like to see Prince of Wales with maybe more French style performing guns (small calibre AP) and actual good armour like the KGV class was known for. Despite Admiral Sir John Tovey in King George V heading northwest due to a misinterpreted signal from the Admiralty, Dalrymple-Hamilton and his own 'Operations Committee' consisting of Captain Coppinger, his Navigator Lt.Cmdr. Many of the old BBs had them early on but they were removed. That was the BC's at Jutland, I think it was due to flash doors being open or something, that practice was instantly stopped after Jutland, the only UK BBs I can recall that blew up was Hood and Barham, Barham from rolling over probably caused sparks or something it would only take 1 spark to ignite something highly flammable and domino-effect throughout the magazine, probably something similar to the Yamato. :). Rodney and King George V finally broke off the action and then Dorsetshire was ordered to finish Bismarck off with torpedoes. They were all fixed position, submerged tubes. She was the only battleship during WWII that hit the KM Bismarck with one of her 24.5" torpedo. You need to play a total of 50 battles to post in this section. Navy: The Royal Navy: Type: Battleship: Class: Nelson : Pennant: 29 : Built by: Cammell Laird Shipyard (Birkenhead, U.K.) Ordered: 11 Dec 1922 : Laid down: 28 Dec 1922 : Launched: 17 Dec 1925 : Commissioned : 10 Nov 1927 : End service: Nov 1945 : History: Decommissioned in … Well...alternative lines is another topic I'd love. Galfrey George Gatacre RAN, USN Naval Attache' Lt.Cmdr. Maybe they could be non-rotatable with a long reload. Not that WG is overly concerned about such physics but it is another rationale to not include them. Tovey then sent the 3 remaining destroyers home because they were low on fuel, and had Rodney fall in behind King George V for the battle against the Bismarck the next day. She was the only battleship during WWII that hit the KM Bismarck with one of her 24.5 torpedo. Considering that she's the only battleship that torpedoed another battleship (or at the very least there's reasonable cause to believe that she did), I'd hope that they'd maintain her torpedo mounts, even if they were only there to discourage other ships from getting into brawl range with her. I'll try and find decent photos later showing the triangular indentation on Rodney's bridge structure along with difference and the top of the bridge structures and the torpedo doors of the Revenge and QE class. Thanks for sharing. Fun little note: the dark and light lines on top of Royal Oak's B - Turret are Spanish Civil War Neutrality Stripes. This is significant because the United States would not formally enter the war for several months and the stateside docking of the Rodney illustrated the US government's true sympathies in the growing global conflict. Sadly I can not find a photo showing the QE Class torpedo tubes but they did have them. On 26 May, she joined up with King George V, as Admiral Tovey had realised the mistake and doubled back. Fun fact the Queen Elizabeth class Battleships also had torpedoes same with the Revenge Class and Renown class, in fact most British BBs prior to the 1939 KGV class had torpedo tubes, yes this does include: Dreadnought, Bellerophon, Orion, Iron Duke and the above mentioned QE and R class, in fact to the best of my knowledge all British Dreadnought style BBs up until the 1939 KGV class mounted torpedo tubes, in fact I think a lot of British Pre-Dreadnoughts also mounted torpedo tubes. Hood also had 4 (2 x 2) torpedo tubes either side, above water, and these are not unlike the launchers of Akagi and Tirpitz (other than being housed in very narrow torpedo rooms behind doors, and stacked vertically, rather than the more conventional horizontal, deck-mounted launchers), but are similarly absent. In the interim, some members of the crew struck up lasting relationships with American civilians. Just wanted to throw the question out there about potential addition of HMS Rodney and who would be interested/ does WG have any current plans for this? I think it would be cool to see. I think that Rodney would be better choice as T7 premium simply because Nelson receiver more modernization then Rodney. Torpedo tube doors on the bow of HMS Royal Oak. One 16 in (406.4mm) shell was tracked from the gun to where it hit the face of Bismarck's #2 turret Bruno and exploded, blowing out the back of the turret with the splinters killing most of the crew on the bridge. Also add torps on Hood since she had them in real life. That is the odd part. I will read more about it later. The Courageous in her original config could be an interesting premium I'd imagine due to only 4 guns probably a T5 or 6 cruiser but then there is the problem of only being able to fire 4 shells every 30 seconds unless they give her a faster reload, but then 4 shells isn't a lot so they'd probably ave to give her relatively good accuracy too, but im waffling. Also torpedos on a Nelson would be very hard to use since you got that very high citadel it, it's also not the most maneuverable vessel. are you sure about they add this ship to game ? Not trainable deck tubes. Just wanted to throw the question out there about potential addition of HMS Rodney and who would be interested/ does WG have any current plans for this? Yes please. Perhaps if WG ever adds an alternative BB branch featuring other missing british battleships (revenge, repulse, renown, courageous, collosus, dreadnought) then perhaps it could join that? Allied Warships HMS Rodney (29) Battleship of the Nelson class. With that AA Nelson could actually be placed at T8, additional wight would … Otherwise, massage and tweak her stats in order to make her somewhat different from Nelson, and voila. And Hood from a penetration through her upper 7 inch belt armour (no it was not a plunging fire she was way to close for that) into an extended 4 inch magazine which was extended in the late 1930s beyond the protective zone, spreading to the aft 15 inch magazine causing the explosion, after Hood had gone under the waves as the bow and mid-section (still being attached) were torn from each other by hydro-static forces or something like that. Although it would make more sense for Nelson to be standard and Rodney to be the premium. The BismarckMain article: Last battle of the battleship BismarckIn May 1941, while commanded by (then) Commodore Frederick Dalrymple-Hamilton, Rodney and four destroyers were escorting the troop ship RMS Britannic to Canada; the Britannic was taking civilians over to Canada, and would be bringing Canadian troops back to Britain. Early on the morning of 27 May 1941, along with the battleship King George V and the cruisers Norfolk, and Dorsetshire, she engaged the Bismarck, which had had its rudder machinery damaged by a torpedo launched by Ark Royal's Swordfish bombers the day before. Fun fact by the end of the War Renown was in impeccable condition, she was still the fasted capital ship in the fleet and had a very full and remarkable record so much so her record rivals Warspite's. Rodney and King George V were ordered home short of fuel and were unsuccessfully attacked by Luftwaffe bombers who sank Mashona but missed Tartar with whom the battleships had rejoined.After this, she went to the South Boston Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, for repairs to her engines and the fitting of more 8-barrelled "Pom-Pom" AA guns which she had been carrying in crates on the deck throughout the battle .

While their at it why don't they increase their detonation percentage since they had a tendency to blow up. The Nelsons were unique in British battleship construction, being the only ships to carry a main armament of 16 inch (406 mm) guns, and the only ones to carry all the main armament forward of the superstructure (as her superstructure was located aft of midships like RN fleet oilers, whose names carried the '-ol' suffix, she was unofficially referred to as "Rodnol").
