[LHI] USS Montana BB-67

21.2k TemporaryReplacement  2 months ago
Auto Credit Based on Blyatnov's USS Montana BB-67

Original build here

Version without oerlikons (724 parts) here

  • The Defensive warships series hopes to make killing AI warship targets with aircraft 10x harder. (and fun) All ships have a semi-realistic AA complement, with guns that all have semi-realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, firing arcs, and etc.
  • (wiki)
    The Montana-class battleships were planned as successors of the Iowa class for the United States Navy, to be slower but larger, better armored, and with superior firepower. Five were approved for construction during World War II, but changes in wartime building priorities resulted in their cancellation in favor of continuing production of Essex-class aircraft carriers and Iowa-class battleships before any Montana-class keels were laid.

Functional armament

(Spawn as AI in aggressive mode, guns will activate and deactivate depending on if they are in arc/range. It will start maneuvering once you get within 5km of it)

- 10x Dual 5in/38 mount
[Guns fire in a barrage between 16km and 7.16km, then fire individually along with the smaller guns once they get into range]

Max range: 16000m
Min range: 1000m
Projectile velocity: 792m/s

- 18x Quad Bofors 40mm mount
Max range: 7160m
Min range: 0m
Projectile velocity: 850m/s

- 44x Single Oerlikon 20mm mount
Max range: 6000m
Min range: 0m
Projectile velocity: 600m/s

Notes

  • Posted 2 builds at once so my quota for the next 3 years is fulfilled!
  • Images/models of the Montana class seem to vary a lot, so this armament may not be 100% accurate. (Not like these are usually anyway)
  • Started standardizing the flak barrage thing from Yamato so you shouldn't be met with the wrath of the gods beyond 7.16km anymore
  • I don't remember if this happened with this or Missouri but as usual they may blow up on spawn, if so just respawn them and they'll be good to go.

- More builds that aren't Japanese or American (As well as DB/DV builds) are coming eventually, I'm just building up the sanity to spend on making entirely new weapons for other nations. (cough cough Germany cough cough Bismarck) Also school exists sadly

Enjoy getting obliterated!

    @dekanii ye, unfortunately having this many moving parts doesn’t exactly help with performance lol. The no oerlikons version is way better in that regard
