I knew Renown would die at least once to her own magazines. I was hoping Scharnhorst would win because of Renowns relatively weak armour. Looking forward to the next match.
First battle: if you -reduced speed to full -angled away as far as you can and still bear all six 15" guns -set fire control to "save," You would have better accuracy and get some hits in at long range, and Scharnhorst would be unable to do anything about it. Even a handful of long-range plunging shots hitting Scharnhorst would do serious damage.
Loved the video @Brother Monro! Can't wait for the next video man! Here's an interesting idea for your next Ship design for the French Campaign, a French Renown or Scharnhorst! That might be interesting to see if you can pull that off and maybe rule the waves with such a ship.
If I going by Stealth17’s “legendary encounters” between the same ships… I’m expecting a quick and explosive victory for Scharnhorst. (I’m the first battle Scharnhorst landed a full salvo after a minute or two and Renown just exploded, same thing in the second battle, although it took longer and one of Renown’s turret also flew off.)
Italian main gun accuracy was know for being extremely good baring shell issues so much so that that were straddling British CA at long range on first salvos with no radar what so ever
The thing that puts me off this game is the lack of real historical, built and designed warships. Also I would prefer to see these fights at realistic ranges. It also looks like this game has totally bought into the exploding battle cruiser idea.
The first point...that's kind of the point of the game, that you design and build your own warships. Granted, that's not for everyone. The second that's partly due to firstly luck, and secondly the shell type they are using, while historically the type used, has a much higher flash fire chance than the other types.

Would be nice to have a sports style table/ladder after each video showing battles fought, points gained so far
yes please
Munro: "Renown has alot more shells left." 11in shell: "Are you sure about that"
Well Space marines can be wrong

I think we all know why you really wanted her to win :)

"and this is a victory for renown..."
renown: "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT. lookhowwellicanblowupblarghglkgjlkjlk...."
21:10 Scharnhorst expended a lot of ammunition..because you allowed her to continue firing at extreme range and low %% to hit.
How can you tell how many shells a British battlecruiser has left?
By the height of the flame jet above main deck level.
God I love this series

At 14:15, I don't think ships with that much damage would still be able to fire all main guns.

Let me guess, Andrea Doria comes in at the end of the video and sinks both?

@@USS_Grey_Ghost thats true
Even if I don't make a prediction, I'll still be wrong.
man I tried to make a fairly historically accurate looking Reknown or Repulse, but this games limitation are crazy stupid at times.
If you are going for the look try the Battlecruiser 3 with 1925 tech :)
Lost for words... Renown managed to land some hits.

How many captains actually survive these fights anyway?
Not many!
What does Losing the Captain even do
I'd like to see jingles do this
I second that.
He'd wonder why no ships ever used smoke, gripe about ineffective AA, and claim the winner of Division 4 to be HMS Fiji.
british battle cruisers doing what British battle cruisers do loosing their main magazines
when in doubt, a British BC will explode
First?
