8 inch guns don't have 2000 lbs warhead.
15 inch guns however do.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Kongo class fast battleships with 14 inch guns! Buyable with bomber perks! Each with a few destroyers.

Kongo?
How about King George, Bismarck, or USS Iowa, or the Gneisenau?
Or, once in the Navy, a quick cruiser like the British ones, i.e. HMS Belfast etc.
6 inch guns don't pack the punch of the 8 inch ones we have, but the ROF is much faster, and there's 12 of them.
Interesting for navy vs navy.

Anyway, the V-1 offers something else, - it's interceptable :)

I suppose we could get whatever battleship sports the same size guns as those shore batteries, assuming those arent 8 inch guns.  I liked the Kongos, played a big part at Guadalcanal until the US Navy mobbed them.

Two words:

Iowa Class.













Bring the USS New Jersey to Aces High II.

I think the question of avenues to spend bomber perks is a valid one.......................... ..

However the concept of spending such perks for one off shots with systems carrying "single shot"  1800lbs with accuracies of a few miles would make it redundant in AH............ it was basically a "terror weapon" and AH has no civilian population to be terrorised.

Folk (IMO)are not going to spend perks on stuff which has only a 1 in 5 chance of hitting an airfield and then only a 1 in 10 chance of hitting anything on the airfield.

IM0 HTC could add at minimal development costs perked ........

1) Lancaster with Tallboy  (or even 2 Lancs, the other having  the Grand Slam)

2) Mossie Bomber with 4000lb cookie.

3) Me262  based bomber.

I am a terrible divebomber, but yet I hit something the size of a town with some success.
I'd love to use some of my overflooded bomber perks just for this:
1. Be able to knock an 1800 lbs into a town, even on a 1 to 10 scale
2. More importantly, be able to "push the line" with a massive counterstrike of V-1's, - bear in mind that it could be several players working together, each maybe launching maybe 3 or so, even from many directions.
They will show on radar, be chased, maybe hit something, but definately draw some force.
Which is exactly what they did. The RAF and USAF had an enormous effort going on to keep them down.
