The NC class would be great! I live about 2hrs away from the Showboat and it is sweet! Would love to fire the 16inchers at an airfield or another cv group. She also made it on the TOP 10 Naval Ships at like #4 or something. Also, during her first engagement alongside the Enterprise, the Enterprise's captain was worried she was on fire because of all the smoke she was puttin out due to her tremendous firepower!  :devil

i noticed every time i go the rear 16 in gun is aimed at either the coast guard or one of the many buildings across the river

"the HMS Hood"

Groan, another one who doesn't know how to properly name a ship of the Royal Navy. It's Hood, the Hood or H.M.S. Hood, NOT 'the H.M.S. Hood'.

 :cool:  
since when has HMS Hood been called a BB anyways? :lol Battle Cruiser man

Spot-on, H.M.S. Hood was a battle-cruiser: the biggest and best in the world when she was built but, like all battle-cruisers, inadequately armoured when it came to fighting true battleships.

North Carolina?  fightingest ship? Hmmmmm?

If you judge fightin by, how many engagements the ship participated in, it would be a cruiser for sure, not ANY BB!
USS San Francisco, would be an excellent candidate!

Among BB afficionado's, there are two separate groups of BB's.  Those that 'Did', and those that 'Never Did'...
Those that actually Did, are a very small group indeed!   Did or Didn't what, right, lol? A real BB lover would know the diff!

been gone for awhile...

     I think in terms of AH, there would be little difference between a North Carolina class and
an Iowa class BB.  The speed differential and the number of AAA mounts wouldn't be all that
big a deal.

Yes, adding a player spawnable DD would be a great add to the game!
But that topic has been beaten to death by many on this forum..
I don't really feel like doing it all over again, But I'd vote a BIG YES on that, (if there WAS a vote, lol)

I'll reiterate my opinion that having a US task group it would be nice for  a BB task group to be based on non-US equipment.  I'd argue that Japanese equipment makes the most sense as the Pacific war, with the US and Japan being the major participants, was the more major naval aspect of WWII.  Thus a Japanese BB group formed around a Yamato or Nagato class BB with a couple Takao class CAs and a screen of Akizuki class DDs would add a nice dash of variety to AH.  Not everything has to be based on US equipment.
