![]() I really don't know who would end up on top what do you think? The two contestants are The Tirpitz, with all late war AA and Torpedoes (Like that makes a difference in a 1 vs 1 engagement) and the Post War Jean Bart (the version in game). In WoW the outcome favors the Jean Bart but in real life, I'm not sure which battleship would come out on top. For this scenario, the weather does not affect anything at all in terms of the battle, the sea conditions are also perfect and both ships start the battle with all systems working in perfect order. ![]() I propose the following "what if" scenario. I know this battle would be impossible in history but it is interesting to think about these kind of scenarios. I have been thinking about the Richelieu and Jean Bart a lot lately and I wonder how effective they would have been in an engagement. Post war it's Jean Bart no doubt, if it's WW2 then the Germans hold the edge here. Fire control being a factor that mainly depends on the time of the engagement. So that leaves Tirpitz with being at a disadvantage in regards to shell vs armor, though Tirpitz will likely throw more shells per minute. Deck armor is a no-go, as are Jean Bart's barbettes and turrets. Tirpitz at the same time will penetrate Jean Bart's belt, the internal belts should stop her shells though. Turrets and barbettes and such will obviously be penetrated as well. Can be more, but can also be drastically less.Īt that range Jean Bart won't struggle to get through Tirpitz' belt (though the turtleback is a different matter) and the deck will be a challenge due to the armor scheme as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hmm Wouldn't range have something to do with too? I mean if JB let Tirpitz get close or Vica Versa? And remember not sure whether JB had torps like Tirpitz did however that's a factor as well.All in All I would say just as in the both RNG and who surprised who would play a big factor in how things turned out □ Ī typical BB vs BB engagement on open water would take place at around 25km. ![]()
