im all for a battleship and the Savoia Marchetti S.M. 81 but the JU52 would perhaps be better as it was used on more fronts, and alot more of them were used.

The only reason why the JU-52 is used more was it was more produced and was Hitlers personal aircraft. I think, out of speculation, that the italinas made thier airplanes like they were about to go to a modeling contest. Slow and better built, were italian airplanes, like the G-55 only 105 were acually built and flown in WW2

I think it was produced in more numbers due to lower cost, ease of production and because the germans simply needed alot more of them than the italians needed the 81

Yes the Germans had more money than the Italians did, but as I said the S.M was more structurally sound than the JU-52. Don't get me wrong if we had the JU-52 as a vote and not the S.M then I would vote for it, here are the two reasons why I want the S.M:

1. We have pleanty German airplans and two italian airplanes

2. more structurally sound

NO Battleships in AH 2. We already have a cruiser that in the right hands can decimate a base from a decent distance. Adding a Battleship would only increase the range someone could decimate a field or town from. Plus if you add the Battleship, the cruiser becomes less important of a target.

Also the person who sinks the BB (which would need to have alot of gunner slots) would get reported to death by those spiteful people who cant stand that you took your Lancaster or B24 and successfully used it to dive bomb their ship out of the water.

Add in the Italian transport though. We only have 1 transport plane and 2 Italian planes.

A Yamato class would be fun, give the Japanese a BB task group. Yes, Iowa is better, but Yamato is imptressive too.

If I remember correctly(and this doesn't happen very often), but I beleive the Yamato had the largest naval guns on it of the entire war.

Oh, and correct me if I'm wrong.

Yamamoto had bigger guns but Iowa had better accuracy (and big guns too)

IJN boats so we can put those 25s to good use.
