  • The Defensive warships series hopes to make killing AI warship targets with aircraft 10x harder. (and fun) All ships have a semi-realistic AA complement, with guns that all have semi-realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, firing arcs, and etc.
    - Wiki
    HMS Belfast is a Town-class light cruiser that was built for the Royal Navy. She is now permanently moored as a museum ship on the River Thames in London and is operated by the Imperial War Museum.

Notes

  • Having two of the main turrets firing HE-VT means that this one bring a pretty scary amount of flak to the table, so much so that it actually does stuff sometimes
  • Close up she's scary too, octuple Pom-Poms hurt. a lot.

Enjoy getting obliterated!
