no anti aircraft missiles?
i can just dive bomb that thing to death with a few ww2 era dauntlesses :D :mp5:

Excuse you, I believe I still hold the phrase "most powerful and heavily armed Battleship over the set sail on the high seas"

except your battleship is not technicaly feasable... :rolleyes:

EDIT, Yes Doujin I do rember those arguments, and in the end, I always win

I believe that has been argued dozens of times over, and do you remember what side won the arguements in the end, because I do..

it is feasable being built

He wasn't talking about your toy boat, he was talking about the Doujin - http://www.geocities.com/doujincorp/doujinbb.html - that should give you the stats and piccy of the original Mark I version of the behemoth.

No i agree, that behemoth is techincally unfeasible.

OOC: I just came to see Doujin be a bastard to another; unfortunate, ship builder.

Incorrect, it could technically be built. It is, however, unfeasible in real life terms, and depending on the nation, NS-wise. It's cost is astronomical, it's very large, very slow, and is a big f'in target (Which is the whole point). Power projection, my friend - that is why Doujinshi Corporation originally constructed them.

Generally, I'm a bastard to many people - "ship builder" or otherwise. You should know that! :D

OOC: My much more technically feasible(compared to Doujin) battleships and dreadnaughts are bigger and at least as heavily armed... not to brag... it's not bad though, and it's good to see a reasonable design. PS: What time period are you, because it mentions 1941 and 1945 in your specs.

PPS: It's about time I get designing a replacement for my Marx class dreadnaughts, they're getting pretty long in the tooth...

Of course I know that, you are the resident bastard! :D

Awww, but see if you ever attacked me with a nuclear device I would respond in kind with an amount of nuclear weapons that would melt your nation to glass hundreds of times over ;)

lol

Im bigger than you and I have more nukes :p
and that pic was a joke in case u are too dense to figure it out.....

U say power projection?
Well surely a few properly guided missiles would destroy the thing? Plus why have something so big and slow and with poor manoeuvrability?

It would take numerous waves of missiles to render it inoperable. Outright destruction is a very difficult task due to it's construction and armour. Best goal is to render it inoperable.

Already starting with personal attacks? That isn't nice!

grow a thicker skin

and lets stop hijacking shall we?

And if a re-enaction of the Hood was to take place and the missile was big enuff?

Uh, well, I'm pretty sure the only cruise missiles that can actually get through the defenses are also far too small to do any damage. And using ballistic missiles against these things is pretty silly, since even they don't have that much warhead in them.

I'm pretty sure my ultra heavy torpdoes (14,000 lbs of explosive) could take this thing out pretty quickly, but again, I'm pretty sure the Doujin has ASHUM guns or some such thing.

Oh... well u never know.
I am just amazed that such a large ship was even considered to be built. Is it finished and has it been used in action? I would love to know how it goes in actual combat, plus how easily can your runways be repaired, say if they are damaged during a battle, and ur a long way from your homeland or allies, what happens to the planes in the air if there is no alternate carrier?
Just an abservation, even small missiles can do that :mp5:

There are many Doujin Class vessels. Each Assault Fleet has Three Doujin's and around 120+ supporting vessels. (Remember, the NS world is the size of Jupiter + - lots of "grounD" to cover)

Out of 2000 Yakhont-3 missiles launched at one of the pre-expansion fleets with the first Doujin, only 15 managed to hit the Doujin - and managed to bring down one of the masts on the superstructure. Of course, the attackers fleet sank to the bottom of the ocean soon after.

Ofcorse they sank. Hehe.
What was the size of the oppostiong fleet?
Say you were attacked by an equal force but contained smaller and faster ships? Say a normal battleship. I just question its ability to fight because of its speed, but i like the idea.

Probably

Yep, sure am. I love doing it, it's so much fun.

OCC:I was wondering if I could buy 5 Doujin Class Battleships

OOC: MOST of the ship is technologically feasible today, but the costs are so expensive and the ship is too large of a target to pose much of a threat that 250 aircraft carriers, battleships or missile cruisers could do. This is easily a deterrant and is like laughing at the enemy how much money you have, but yes it cannot dodge THAT many missles without a damn good reason.

TAG for possible purchase.

The Yamato's turning ability was excellent.
Her tactical diameter, when turned by a maximum rudder angle of 36 degrees at a speed of 26 knots was 2099 feet.
These figures were considered superior when compared to other battleships.
The Yamato had two rudders, the main and auxiliary, instead of the twin-rudder system of ordinary large warships.
Originally it was planned to install two rudders, one each fore and aft, in view of the fact that the German Bismarck finally lost her maneuverability ability due to damage to her rudders .

Emblazoned on the beam of the DN Doujin, Longa Pericuolosaque Navis. A long and dangerous ship. Accurate description of her, but to some not accurate enough. Ab Infernis Navis, or "Ship from Hell" - as she is called by many. With each Assault Fleet having 3, and a 150+ ship escort, something to be feared. Wish I had the specs for all the vessels that compromise the Doujin Navy still, but I don't want to go hunt for them.

I had 3 Assault Fleets, with one Doujin out of all of them. The Doujin was in the heart of the Fleet Command, with around 500 ships surrounding. The mission was to completely destroy the Allanean naval presence at or around Atlantic Island, and pave the way for an invasion of the Allanean coast. Excessive, understandably, but Doujin is a naval nation - and uses whatever it can to make sure the job required of it is completeded exceptionally. 2000 missiles is a large mass, and it would not be hard to be rid of a large amount of them. To give an accurate recount, 250-500 missiles did get through - I don't remember the exact number - and managed to sink 10-15 military / auxiliary vessels, and damaged an additional 10-15 military / auxiliary vessels.

gte ya own battlehsip thread fucker

OOC: isn't that too big for some locks? don't some canals have limits on displacements?
