Why the British battlecruiser game line changes character at G3

Why should the British battlecruiser line in World of Warships be split?

The proposed split would separate conventional battlecruisers from G3-style designs whose protection and play style differ sharply, although the claim that the current line lacks durability is disputed.

Foxo favors splitting the British battlecruiser line because its play style changes abruptly when conventional designs give way to G3. The earlier ships combine accurate, powerful guns with large hulls vulnerable to critical damage, while G3 represents a heavily armored design with its main battery concentrated forward. A powerful repair ability supplies durability within the game, but does not resolve the objection to the transition between tiers. Dragon disputes the claim that the ships lack durability and argues that their survivability depends on how they are played. The proposed split would keep conventional battlecruisers on one branch, extending toward 18-inch-gun concepts, and place the unusual forward-battery designs on another.
