It's not a perfect fit, for sure, but there's enough to say that they're of a similar role. And lastly, they have good guns but you really keep wishing they were of a larger caliber as they'll feel a bit lacking against other Dreadnoughts. They're also quite vulnerable along their sides and not particularly well armoured. Their secondaries are long ranged, but meh in overall performance. They're both good at fighting bow on with most (all in the Dunkerque's case) of their firepower forwards. They're both fast - the fastest Battleships of their tier. Saying the Iowa is close to the Dunkerque might feel like a bit of a stretch until you start really looking at the two of them. We adjusted the parameters of these ships based on testing results.Degree of Similarity: Clone / Sister-Ship / Related Class/ Similar Role / Unique AP shells maximum damage increased from 17,000 to 19,400.AP shells maximum damage reduced from 5,950 to 5,750.Main battery reload time increased from 30 to 34.2 s.Turret traverse speed reduced from 8 to 6 degrees per second.Īmerican battleship California, Tier VII:.Other detectability ranges increased accordingly Detectability range by ships increased from 12.6 to 14.0 km.Soviet cruiser Petr Bagration, Tier VIII: The angle at which the check for ricochets is made for AP shells is reduced from 55 to 50 degrees.Main battery reload time increased from 12.5 to 13.5 s.

Main battery reload time incresased from 8 to 10 s.New settings will make Ägir a mid- and long-range ship, and she will still be effective in close-range combat against single targets. However, her constructive features - bad aiming angles of the aft turret and her armor - didn't allow to fulfill the ship's potential in this role. The concept of Ägir initially implied close-range combat with the help of torpedo armament and secondary guns which were uncharacteristically strong for the class.
