post you are cunts ww2 toys

did it get btfo?

netherlands
yes

...

I love the sound these make.

Murica
Not really

...

no

nice joke but everyone got btfo in the pacific before 1942
even the americans that were there at that time

The difference is that neither the US or UK needed to be liberated.

>Tirpitz
improved Bismarck-class
took 4 years of constant attacks to finally get her, so kind of successful

we will always be grateful of the canadians who did that in europe, not the canadians of today
and the australians in the pacific

Yes

Wake me up

>built the biggest warship
>underestimated the US air force
>big cannons never worked efficiently

always found it a bit funny with those massive battleships that they had this weird tower defence-tier ideas of 'what if we just slap a billion AA guns on them surely that must work'

Kind of surprised given the way OP worded things that you didn't post a picture of a Korean woman.

our coastal defense ships.

one of them struck a mine,and their blue water seagoing capabilities were so poor that one of them had to be towed to the british coronation fleet review in the 30:s.

Armament and fire control systems were best pre-radar things imaginable.Displacement was half of a light cruiser,yet it had similar firepower than a heavy cruiser with a bolted on destroyer( 4 x 254 mm and 8 x 105 mm).

well it kinda it
also we never got BTFOd

TOMATO A CUTE!

SOUNDS VERY GOOD

>Korean woman
sorry Kim, here it is

...

It was actually quite effective for the american warships at least. An Iowa-class could put a terrifying amount of shells in the air and do it accurately (for wwii standards). The japs simply had shit guns and shit fire control.

the iowa class SUCKS
t. Bismarck bro

i wonder if they went overboard the other way round in modern ships since they went from a billion guns to a few

...

*Bismarcked*

RIP in Peace HMS Hood.

well modern ships mostly kill things with missiles these days, the guns are almost pointless

not really been a war to actually get a proper proof of concept has there?

papertanks with peeshooters
not very effective against T-34s

...

NO MERCY

Well, it was a WWI battlecruiser up against a new battleship. The outcome was pretty obvious.

...

best shit we ever had

UK
Yes

India

HMIS Bombay

I don't think they got BTFOed

HMIS Jumna

HMIS Narbada

HMIS Sutlej

...

Did the pooships ever see action?

Royal India Air force and Royal Indian Navy fought in Japan and Caribbean during the ww2

The navy was actively involved in operations during the war around the world. Its sloops HMIS Sutlej and HMIS Jumna played a key role in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily.

It was heavily involved in operations around the Indian Ocean, including convoy escorts, mine-sweeping, supply, as well as supporting amphibious assaults.

RIN received amongst them the following honours and decorations: a KBE (Mil.), a knighthood, a CB (Mil.), 10 CIEs, two DSOs, a CBE, 15 DSCs, an OBE, 28 DSMs, eight OBIs, two IOMs, 16 BEMs, 10 Indian Defence Service Medals, a Royal Humane Society Medal, 105 mentions in dispatches and 118 assorted commendations.

Sometimes it just baffles me why the hell brits were so triggered when one (1) battleship and 2-3 heavy cruisers and 2 battlecruisers at max were at the atlantic raiding random convoys with no air cover and weaker detection equipment.
Brits had atleast like 12 battleships,2 carriers,2-3 battlecruisers and shitton of lighter vessels to chase them.

And "muh subs" is not an argument,submarines are shit against even remotely moving (15-18 knots) capital ships

We had the proximity fuse for AA shells.

>triggered
?

...

bad girl loaded with 15 of Long Lance torpedoes

>literally survived a nuke

Why was the Prinz Eugen so based?

...

>Pola, dead in the water, was witness to the catastrophe that befell her sister ships. Resigned to their fate, Pola‘s crew abandoned all discipline. British sailors boarding Pola after the battle found empty wine bottles and drunken sailors. After Pola‘s crew was evacuated, British destroyers torpedoed and sank her at approximately 0300.

Love the Lancaster.

We used to make our own indigenous bomber

...

IA.38 Naranjero

No (Yes by the zero but we don't talk about that)

...

fucking kek
sounds like it would've been a right laugh

...

Cancer ship, so glad it was nerf'd in World of Warships.

Why does Italy not get 1/5th the shit France gets for being so hilariously incompetent during WWII? I read that the Italian air force was so garbage they had to just borrow German planes, even after bragging about how advanced their planes were during the 30s.

Good lads

...

because italians have been like that since day 1, france was good at war once

But then how do you explain Rome?

We seem to be pretty good at getting away with things for some reason.

Still, we weren't ready for war: at least we have the partial excuse of a shit and underequipped army and a still mainly agrarian economy which could not sustain a prolonged war. Also shit morale because we were fighting someone else's war.

The French supposedly had the best army AND they were defending their homeland to boot. So it stands out more.

the billion guns wasn't done in the beginning
with the constant strafing they had to add on aa defense or else they would be out long ago
they couldn't rebuild the warship from scratch and they didn't make so many to be able to sustain constant loss

quite a big fucking gap between one and another

Submarine Vetehinen we sunk russian submarines with by crashing to them full speed
