User blog:Aghostintheboat/Pagoda Bridges and Battleship Elements

Alright guys, ghost here. I'll just get down to business alright? While building my new battleship for the AFOH, I have encountered a problem. But first it has something to do with the element of a battleship, I'll just quickly list some.

-

-Heavy Weapons and Armour - A battleship must be able to soak up a ton of damage and deliver more, like how apparantly a single B1 surrounded by Panzer IIIs and IVs was able to shrug off ther shots while destroying them. So 46 cm guns and lightweight 600 mm armour is required.

-The power of scaring the enemy - Fear is a huge factor in war. For example, Taffy 3, during the Battle off of Samar, managed to convince a powerfull force of battleships to belive that they were engaging a large carrier battlegroup. So somekind of large bridge and big design.

-Fast speed - The battleships of WW2 were hindered with one problem, they were quite slow. The fastest battleship, from the  Regia Marina, went like 38 knots. This ship, being in the AFOH, must be 194+ knots.

I could deal with the heavy weapons and fast speed part, but I don't think I'll be able to manage to make it look scary. I have looked at multiple bridges, I have concluded (no offense Wolf) that a small bridge won't scare the enemy much, I needed a pagoda bridge. I have looked at the pagoda bridge part on the Bridges and Superstructures page on the main wiki, but that one was hard to read. If anyone has a pagoda bridge design, please allow me to use it. Thanks you.
