But no matter what, any design has certain historical limitations. As a fundamentalist battleship of World War I, the United States' standard battleship is qualified in performance. However, the basic tonnage and size conditions also limit its height. It is already the limit of this battleship that can create a Colorado-class battleship in history. No matter how high it is, there is no way to redesign it, boy! As for the conversion to a fast battleship? This is even more impossible. The line and tonnage of the hull are limited to the dead. The displacement of 32,000 tons is equipped with so many armor and artillery, so where can there be space and weight arrangement power system?

But unfortunately, this time, the design of the standard battleship encountered a world of cheating! The design level of the German battleship is close to the level of the second battle in history. The Japanese have followed suit and improved a lot, while the Americans are a little on the spot. Some people may say that tilted armor is better than vertical armor. This is a very simple thing, why don’t the Americans understand it?

How to say this? From the perspective of later generations, it is naturally easy to understand, because you have decades of experience and information summarized by previous generations. But the parties may not know it, and sometimes experiments and arguments will also go wrong, otherwise it would not have happened. Why did Nelson's armor belt be clearly tilted? By King George V of England, he insisted on changing it to vertical...

Moreover, the tilted armor belt will compress the inner space of the hull. This is the same as the tilted armor of the tank, and it is for the defense. In fact, if the design of the American heavy cruiser in two battles in history can be found that the Americans chose vertical armor belts. In history, except for the Duke of Abruzzi and the heavy cruisers of the Japanese, most other countries have vertical armor belts. This may be related to the space issue. If the designer thinks that the defense is sufficient, he will naturally not consider the design of over-compressing space!

What was the offensive and defensive situation of the battleship at that time? When the standard battleship design was released, the German armor-piercing bomb fuses were not mature, and the design and strength of the bullet body were not good. At that time, not only the British armor-piercing bombs were not very powerful, but the Germans were not very good... Compared to the British who could use a 12-inch armor as the main equipment of the battleship, the main equipment of the battle patrol was 6 to 9 inches. The Americans' 13.5-inch main equipment was already very conscientious, okay?

In order to shorten the construction period and reduce risks, the new Colorado-class battleships used the design of standard battleships. However, the Japanese took this same path... The design of the new Nagato-class battleship is really close to the design of the old Fuso-class battleships. Whether it is the cabin division, the hull layout, or the underwater line type, or even the tonnage is the same! After all, the biggest improvement of the Nagato-class battleships is to replace the 5 double-mounted 15-inch artillery turrets with 4 double-mounted 16-inch turrets...

Therefore, the combat effectiveness assessment was easily released. Even if the Japanese armor-piercing bombs were not good, in the vast Pacific Ocean, the Japanese Navy's Fuso-class battleship still pressed the American standard battleship and blasted the hammer! Whether in theory or in actual combat, the Fuso-class battleships proved their strength, that is, in the case of 1v1, in addition to the German Bavaria, the Fuso-class battleships that served before the end of the War 1 are definitely not afraid. There is even an optimistic idea in the Japanese Navy, that is, the Fuso-class battleships are worthy even when facing the American Colorado-class battleships!

This is not the Japanese's arrogant. If the Colorado-class battleships still use vertical armor belts, then the 343mm straight board main installation is not safe to face the strike of the British 15-inch l42 and new armor-piercing bombs! After all, in history, the British have done experiments, and the Japanese have also done experiments on this plane. In other words, the Fuso-class battleships have the opportunity to penetrate the opponent's core compartment.

What about the American firepower? First of all, the armored boxes of the Fuso-class battleships are still very good, and their defense is a little higher than the new British battleships. Judging from the Norwegian naval battleships, it is also difficult to defend at this level. The Americans' 16-inch naval gun must have great power, but it is hard to say how big it is...

After all, it depends on the bullet design. It is also a 15-inch artillery shell. The difference in the transmission depth between the World War I shells and World War II shells is a bit large. The Germans have a lot of practical data, which will be more convenient to design, but the Americans do not. And this time it is a bit like a duck to put it on the shelves. So it is hard to say how powerful it is. Theoretically, the Fuso-class defense has the opportunity to block the 16-inch artillery. Of course, by the same token, the Japanese's 16-inch artillery may not meet the expectations of the Japanese, because the same reason is the same as the United States!

"If the German Bavarian-class battleships are not considered, Nagamon-class battleships and Fuso-class battleships have absolute performance advantages against any American warship. As for the other four 14-inch gun rapid battleships, with the skillful operation and level of the joint fleet officers and soldiers, as well as the improved hardware conditions, it should also be an advantage against the warships before the US standard battleships. If a large-scale naval battleship really occurs, our 12 fast battleships should be no problem against the Americans' about 18 warships." Shimamura Soo said.

"This is really the result of the deduction of the General Staff?" Yamamoto Honbuki raised his voice slightly, and was obviously skeptical of this statement. Although Yamamoto Honbuki was a naval boss and had been on the front line back then, how to say it, in Japan, after the military status reached a certain level, it would definitely be involved in politics, so the military should be less focused.

But there are also basic qualities! How to say that the battle between the naval battleships? With the advantages of tonnage and design, it is no problem to quickly decide the winners and losses between the two battleships by 1v1. For example, the avant-garde battle in the Jutland Naval Battle in history was like this. The British battlecruiser died so simply...

However, unless the gap is too huge, for example, the battleships of one era are different. The main battleships are very sensitive to the number when fighting! As long as they are warships of the same era, even if they are advanced warships, as long as the opponents are not inferior to a certain level, then 1v1.5 is the limit, and 1v2 is seeking death! This is also based on historical evidence! For example, in the Battle of Dogers, the battleships of the two sides are compared with the British 5 battlecruisers, Hippel is 3 battle cruisers and 1 armored cruiser. Hippel did not dare to fight at all! Run away directly.
