    The fleets of the Imperial Navy are made up of multiple vessels that can be divided into three broad size categories: Battleships and Grand Cruisers, Cruisers, and Escorts. The actual size of starships in the Warhammer 40,000 universe is debatable; however, it is worth noting that the upper size of an Imperial Escort mentioned is 30 kilometers from the Black Library story "Wolf Pack" by Gordon Rennie, though the HDMS Lord Solar Macharius is noted to be just 3 kilometres long. The general consensus is that in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Imperial Escort vessels are anywhere between 750 metres and 3 kilometres in length, Cruisers are anywhere between 5 and 6 kilometres long and Battleships anywhere between 6 and 8 kilometres.

    It's counterintuitive for most, but soldiers in light infantry and especially scout units tend to be more armed than typical soldiers because they lack backup and logistical support. With the scale of warfare in 40k, I can easily see that applying to scout ships and recon vessels as well.

      That logic actually applies to the Striking Scorpions of the Craftworld Eldar. They have heavier armor compared to most aspect warriors and are an infiltration unit. Sometimes waiting months for the signal. Getting caught in a situation means they won’t get scythed down by gunfire or artillery as their armor is comparable to space marine protection. They can slip away and regroup for another attempt.

      @@cheeseninja1115 Yeah they're also at risk of more friendly fire than anyone else... I got mortared twice by my own guys. But scouts will often take the lead to catch ambushes, traps and identify targets so their pace is often determined by the environment. The main force however, is used to moving at a certain rate and too often the two methods come into conflict with the main force overtaking the scouts, especially with overzealous commanders. The danger with the main force surpassing your scouts is two fold: one, your main force may run into enemy ambushes or miss enemy positions and two, your scouts are at risk of being hit by friendly forces who misidentify them.

  • @AGrumpyPanda
    @AGrumpyPanda Рік тому +72

    Some notes from an ex-Battlefleet Gothic captain, now Rogue Trader Commodore:
    Warning: paragraphs upon paragraphs incoming.
    The Turbulent Heavy Frigate was basically designed along the idea that two or three of them could stand toe to toe with enemy cruisers. The important thing is that despite being smaller and having fewer guns, they have cruiser-thick armour, and the combined firepower of a squadron of them matches the available firepower of a cruiser anyway.
    So, the Dauntless. This isn't a case of 'don't think about it too hard,' you need to understand what a scout cruiser actually is. The Dauntless' job is to go out on multi-year patrol missions, sometimes entirely unsupported, to maintain Imperial power projection and detect threats early over long distances. Yes, it's heavily armed, and yes, it's a scout, because when it's doing its job it's often the only Imperial ship within months if not years of travel distance and it needs to be able to defend itself from everything ranging from packs of pirate raiders up to the odd Ork ship.
    The Endeavour is another case of understand its role: the Endeavour is basically a ship of the line on a budget. It was intended to fill gaps in the line of battle in proper large-scale fleet engagements, add to torpedo broadsides, throw hands with cruisers et cetera, so it is both shorter (doesn't need as much space to carry supplies because it's not going on long-range missions) and carries more firepower in the form of torpedo tubes in addition to a prow mounted weapon, whereas the Dauntless has either/or. On the ramming front, the Endeavour would be able to survive the incoming firepower, they wouldn't be able to catch up.
    To understand the Dictator, just think the Imperial Star Destroyer. That's basically it. It's used primarily for anti-piracy operations because the fighters can flush out raider craft and other small ships from the asteroid fields they like to hide in and bring them into range of the macrocannons. Fun fact: the Navy generally completely disregards the use of fighter craft. Most admirals use carriers only begrudgingly, which means a lot of them get into the hands of Rogue Traders with good connections to the Navy. Also, Shy is somewhat wrong, those strike craft can get further out than the range of most voidship weapons. The Dictator can absolutely just sit in the backline vomiting out fighter craft if it wants to, but they do normally stay in macrocannon range.
    Good ol' Nova Cannon, the Navy version of 'parry this you filthy casual,' to the blast radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. As to why it's at the front, it's like MAC cannons in Halo, you need the entire structure of the ship to support the recoil of the damn thing. On the subject of the whole out-broadsiding two chaos cruisers, the Dominator has two decks of macrocannons instead of macros and lances, and at closer ranges Imperial broadsides tend to be stronger (you'd think it'd be the other way around, but Chaos ships tend to be older, more sophisticated models with higher range, while Imperial ships are brute, simple ships with higher volume of fire).
    Not quite on the Gothic. The Lunar also has lances on each side, the difference between the Lunar and the Gothic is the Gothic *ONLY* has lances. It has no subtlety, its usefulness falls off dramatically if it doesn't have a support ship to batter down the void shields of the enemy ship, but if it gets a clean shot off it'll tear any other ship apart.
    Important context missing from the Battlecruisers: the deal with battlecruisers is they took damaged cruiser hulls, put a much bigger power source in it, then put more guns and armour on it. The idea was to create a more mobile/longer mission duration ship with comparable firepower to a grand cruiser or battleship. It's entirely accurate to call any battlecruiser a 'poor man's battleship,' but battlecruisers are vastly easier to make because there's wrecked cruiser hulls all over the place.
    Kirioth's quite off about the number of gun decks. Cruisers and Battlecruisers have two sets of weapons on the port and starboard, Grand Cruisers have three. A big distinction is that cruisers have a prow weapon, battlecruisers have both a prow and a dorsal weapon, while grand cruisers have neither. The whole idea of the grand cruiser was to charge full-tilt straight towards the enemy and perform the naval equivalent of knife-fighting by firing both broadsides point-blank. Naturally, this kind of warfare is utterly unsustainable now, so grand cruisers have fallen out of favour with the Navy.

      Addendum on the Nova Cannon, other reason for it being front mounted has to be this line I found "The Nova Cannon itself is massive; the barrel is the length of all but the largest Imperial vessels. The projectiles have a diameter of at least 50 metres and are fired at close to light speed after being accelerated by gravimetric coils."

Also the captain went on more than 2 war tours which wasn't normally allowed and also asked the sub to be fitted with a rocket launcher atop the sub to engage land targets and is still the only sub credited with the kill of a train.

    A 30 kilometer escort ship actually kind of makes sense, in the way that a battleship used to escort the rest of the fleet in WW2, because the battleships were actually feared enough to make every single enemy to avoid the general area any battleship was in _like the goddamn plague._
    So in my mind, there's a supermassive imperial dreadnaught-breaker escort ship somewhere in the galaxy.
    Because if you want someone to escort you down a dark, damp alleyway, _why not choose DOOMSLAYER, the God of Unspeakable Violence, to protect you?_
    ...
    But seriously, it kind of makes sense, and i want that to be real, because that's the exact kind of stupid WH40K needs more of.

      The British Royal Navy's Revenge-class battleships in particular were frequently assigned to convoys as protection from surface raiders since it was sorely needed and they were too slow to do much else anyway. After all, the entire purpose of a battleship is to control the sea around it and deny it to the enemy, so escort/screening duty is technically part of the job description. Especially since before viable attack aircraft were a thing the main counter to a battleship was another battleship.

      Not only that but if we're actually being realistc for ships to actually be scary enough to pose true threats to planets your basic escort would have to be that size. Because I'm sorry but an 8km ship is so fucking small a planet would barely register it being there. If were talking about actual ships sizes battleships should be litterral continent size when compared to earth. Because what we cannot forget is that earth is a pathetically small planet in the broad scale of things and these ships would need to be strong enough to fight and pose a threat to all planets.

      The largest battleship ever constructed was the Yamato, it was 263m long. The largest aircraft carrier was the Gerald R. Ford, it was 337m long. According to Wikipedia, the longest ship ever made was the Seawise Giant, an oil tanker measuring 458m, less than half a kilometer. All of those ships are ridiculously large for self-propelled craft of any sort, any man near a ship of that size feels absolutely dwarfed; I've been next to the cruise ship Queen Mary 2 once, the thing is 345m long and it looks like a floating city. Now consider that a *small* warship in 40k is about 1000m long. That there are some that go up to 8000m long. That those are just the largest known battleships, meaning there are bigger man-made self-propelled structures in that Universe, such as the Ramilies class Star-Fort which is estimated to be about 22 km sq, or roughly half the area of Manhattan island.
      Those structures are not "short" by any means; Yes, you could walk from one end to the other in a few hours at most, assuming a straight corridor with open hatches, no damage and nothing else slowing you down; that fact does not convey the sheer absurdity of the scale of such a vessel. I refer you to the 40K Starship Size Visualizer on voidstate dot com (google it, UA-cam does not like links in comments): input your local city and one of the larger ships in the drop-down list. That will give you a vague idea of how huge those things are.

    Recommendation: watch Drachinifel's videos on the IJN Type 93 "Long Lance" and the USN Mark 14 torpedos if you want to see how dangerous torpedos could be to their own ships. Heck, with the Type 93s, crews could do everything right and still die due to their enemies getting a good hit because oxygen fueled torpedos are very dangerous - and those were used by surface ships. The Mark 14s surface ship counterparts aren't as infamous as the Mark 14, but had the same problems. Considering the Administratum and the Mechanicus, I'm not shocked by BuOrd level issues in the Imperium. (Bonus: Drach is a 40K fan and did a 5 Minute Guide to the Emperor class for April Fool's one year.)
    Edit: cruisers being as armed as they are and being meant for scouting again parallels actual WW II cruisers (including deceptive strength, looking at you Mogami class). Edit x2: the Mogamis would hug that one aviation cruiser class for being their spiritual successors. If only those attack craft were called Zuiun...

      They're exaggerating the crew numbers in this video. While the numbers vary wildly by author, a good estimate should be in the tens of thousands, maybe one or two hundred thousand for the largest battleships. It sounds about right when you consider that, for example, a US Nimitz class aircraft carrier has a crew complement of around 5000.

    I think “scout” is meant to mean that it can operate independently, so it is not great in any particular role but can do everything enough to protect itself. Battleships, Escort Cruisers, destroyers and frigates on the other hand are meant to work in unison. So battleships counter cruisers and battleships, Escort cruisers counter destroyers or carry strike craft, destroyers counter frigates and frigates counter strike craft.

    The thing about "dropping" 1 torpedo and it blowing up is
    1: The torpedo is designed to destroy other ships from outside.
    2: There are most likely other torpedos nearby, so you will not only blow up 1 torpedo.
    Even the biggest ships would likely not survive their entire stock of warheads going up from inside.

    One of my First 40K books I ever read as a young guy was one of the Uriel Ventris Books. Relatively early on there was a fleet trying to stop a Tyranid Hive Fleet Tentacle and it was really detailed in describing how the super buffed Nova Cannon on the Capital Ship shot the equivalent of "a small sun" inbetween the mayor hive ships and it killed like 4 of them but it was just not enough. To this day I use that example to describe why even tho the Imperium is soooooo OP it's just not enough. like the lasguns that would stomp for us but are more or less just flashlights to the enemies of mankind in many cases.
