Flamme's Honest Ship Reviews: Renown class Battlecruiser

"Too OP plz nerf"

- Doc

Overview

The Renown class battlecruiser is the first ship on the UK fast battleship/battlecruiser line, and is often considered VERY OP. It can't mount a variety of weapons, from standard 15", to 16" triples, 14" duals, and even high level 15" guns. She has good speed, but fairly poor armor. However, her armor is sufficient to block most cruiser-sized guns, which are often used by the enemies you'll be facing in low tier battles.

Pros


 * Speed


 * Renown has a great 26 knot minimum speed.


 * Firepower


 * Renown has retardedly OP firepower with Nelson triple 16".


 * Low Tier Warship


 * The Renown is only level 27, meaning you are often thrown in low tier matches with much weaker cruisers, destroyers, and predreadnoughts.

Cons


 * Poor Armor


 * She can only mount a 7" solid deck and 8" solid belt with Nelson 16", but if you use advanced armor, you can get 10"-14" armor amidships.
