zekes Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I love how the Tylo Battlecrusier was massive in it's time, now it's just... cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew123 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) I wonder how well your vessel would fare against my new cruise missiles. I think I'll be right back...Wait, my desktop is inaccessible right now. I guess I'll test it against another ship.I now know that using trimaran type hulls drastically reduces the total part count. I should make a trimaran naval aircraft carrier with a full flight deck and start assembling a carrier task force to... spread democracy... hehe.

andrew123 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 A super battleship... just don't forget to patch all of the weak spots. Should I embark on the Bismark...

The navy planned to have her decks armoured but that was interrupted by the hunt for the Bismarck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalodon 720 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I still think my H44 is the biggest (of course my computer isn't as powerful as yours so mine was welded(and no it isn't a potato powered computer)).Also, here's a picture of the Bismarck.

Megalodon 720 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 It's a different Bismarck, it was built as an ocean liner during WWI but was later given to the white star line in compensation for the sinking of the Britannic which was sunk by a german mine, her sister, Imperator, was given to Cunard line in compensation for the sinking of the Lusitania which was sunk by a german U-boat.

daemonCaptrix Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I want a battle worthy replica ship so bad.Then I recommend you build something smaller than a battleship. Battleships are for land bombardment. Historically they did pretty terribly in ship to ship combat compared to aircraft carriers, submarines and u-boats, and groups of cruisers.
