Description
Using the different remodels of the Queen Elizabeth-class super-dreadnoughts of the Royal navy as my base i went and made this in around 12-15h total building time. There can be more work on the decorations but i am still happy with it.
Now for some stats for those interested:
Cost: 302k
Dimensions: Length 195 Width 29 Height 39
Blocks: 9670
Total Firepower: 94.5 (used to be 68.3), APS: 70.5 (used to be 45.3), Simple cannons: 23.
Armor cost: 55% (~167k)
Max Speed: ~15m/s
Mass: ~12800
The hull turned out very well and i am super happy with the superstructure. Overall a good job. Designed to fight DWG and OW it can solo any DWG design and put up a good fight against a Bulwark (though unfortunately lost all attempts, thought it was from close range).

Updated it from using tripple turrets to dual turrets. Got increased firepower (roughly 45% incrase) and RPM (Old RP was between 9-11, new is ~18).

Thank you! Its not in any shape or form a good ship for its cost. The overall design of the hull makes it hard to make good guns, but in this case it was really worth it for just the looks. It was a joy to build

Giving me really powerful HMS Hood vibes! Awesome and beautiful job.

Im planning on adding some submerged torpedo launchers in the hull at the rear and some more active protection (Anti missile or LAMS). We will see. Got some other things i want to build ;)

This is a excellent build! Good to see you've updated and improved it.

Update the Dread with dual guns instead of tripplets. More decorations as well.

Changed the design of the bridge. Removed the portholes and used mimics instead. See the preview image.

Yeah, i need to reinforce the rear more. The draft is a lot shallower than what i am used to when building battleships so it might need some more HA on the top and sides to protect it against CRAM volleys

Yeah, from my experience it usually sorta wins by HP but not by much. Seems like the Crossbones has a tendency to knock out the steam engines too.

yeah, spawned in at 1k from each other it managed to disable most of its front guns pretty quickly and then slowly removed the superstructure. Would i say it could do it everytime and not rely on some luck? Probably not, but it has beaten it at least once in testing.
