The long awaited Retribution class battleship! It ends up being a sort of minimalist Yamato, to complement our minimalist Bismarck I guess! In war news though I’m not sure these ships will even get to see much action as the world’s seas empty of all opposition.

Cap Ballistic 2 on 18" guns is overkill. Even though you've "fixed" the AI armor, you do tend to drive up and blap them in the face. Perhaps Cap Ballistic 1 or even Standard shells would work well enough?
Zexu was the hull that took no damage i showed on the discord few weeks ago. If china gets up to date tech i would advise to use high pen 20inch HE shells
18:24 the life aquatic with Steve Zexu.
as Munro said "it's not to everyone's taste" about the Retribution, I was listing what I would change. so fair enough
Still hoping you do build on the modernized dreadnought hulls to give the older battleship fleets a massive flagship. Would also help them in fights and naval invasions.
The best 3rd inner layer I've ever seen was 7.4 inches on s 100,000 tonne ship. Now it only had 15" guns so….
As a secondary gun connoisseur, retribution is a slightly pain, but i also very specifically love the American designs so the decision is understandable
I know this ideia might be stupid, but it would be pretty funny to have a Vulkan class battleship focused on being an HE spammer.
This game needs aircraft really bad. I get that the whole point is the focus on giant battleships that are obscene but it's a bit silly to just slap some 18 inch guns on a ship and call it a day.
OK the names of the ships (and I know they are related to donors) were SOOO perfect. Retribution Class ships roll call please … Retribution! Fist of Adamant! Dawn of Fire! FaithBringer! Alright ships forward into glory!!!
Zexu was disgustingly resilient to damage which makes me question if it had some kind of taint to it…
So, does the crew experience level influence the surrender threshold? Will veterans keep fighting long past the cadet surrender threshold?
The unfortunate thing about going for an Alliance victory is that all active nations need to be allied with each other for it to trigger. For instance, at 25:50, the sticking point would be Japan-Germany relations.

Day 90 of posting a obligatory comment to boost engagement
I love how sleek the Retributions look, although I'm not a massive fan of the total lack of secondaries. Even a light 5-inch battery on the sides (assuming that would fit, I think it would but I could be wrong) would give them at least token protection against being mass charged by torpedo boats and DDs if they were in too high numbers for the 18 inch guns to sink all of them first.
Those last Chinese light cruisers took so many shells, they could have been sunk with sand filled inert projectiles just eroding them to bits.
Karate and friendship for everyone
i know you havent quite finished yet, but you know which nation your gonna play next? im partial to italy. great videos as always!
What is Zexu made of
A bit too late to comment but you made in my opinion a Yamato battleship for our Kaiser Franz Josef II
I've started a campaign after a long break from the fame and my guns always seem to either over pen or partial pen. None of my ships do any damage can someone. Does anyone know why
