Iowa’s faster and outranges the, hypothetically (not including fire control) Iowa can take out a ton before it runs out of ammunition.
If they’re fighting close Iowa losing to 8 pre dreadnoughts with 14 inchers sounds right. 👍
5 Ratte tanks and 12 Maus tanks vs one Scharnhorst class battleship with 11 inch guns.
Who will win this insane battle? The tanks start on a flat, long, big, cliff overlooking the water. Distances are the effective firing ranges of the 5 inch guns of both sides.
@superbattleshipyamato would they be allowed to manourver?
Yes (but don’t make them run away from each other, that’s boring, and no, tanks cannot “jump” onto the Scharnhorst).
I would have to say the tanks, if driven by skilled crews then they could stop and move in the opposite direction when they see the ship fire. the ship would be unable to do this.
also, the tanks outgun the ship sooooooo… good luck to the ship (I reckon)
Good point.
