From The 18in Gun HMS Agincourt and UAD video comment response (Long Patrol) ·
If the First World War had begun later, the Royal Navy would probably have discarded, transferred, or reserved its 12-inch ships as larger-gun construction accelerated.
From The 18in Gun HMS Agincourt and UAD video comment response (Long Patrol) ·
Equipment choices such as radar can change UAD's accuracy results, so one simulated action should not be read as a historical hit-rate benchmark.
