It's 127 on the chinkroid market.

Still doing better than KC.

>it shall not be named
It's not the naming, it's the intent to derail the thread. Not that I think you care, but I do.

>>22289840
Dogs just happen to do that.

She will get a chink K2?

Are there any absolute turds among the WW2 contemporary heavy cruiser classes?

>>22291473
Define "WW2 contemporary"

>>22291483
That'd be anything that took part.

>>22291473
All of German and Japanese ones, all Italian and French ones outside of their last classes, all American ones before Baltimores, and all bong ones outside of Hawkins (which had the excuse of being the 1st of CA memes).

>>22291473
Furutaka, Aoba, Pensacola, Northampton, and anything built in Germany.

>>22291486
All treaty-compliant designs

>>22291491
>>22291496
>>22291497
So what differentiates a good heavy cruiser from a bad heavy cruiser? I don't necessarily mean that "X was old, so it's bad", just what particular aspects of the type are more desirable?

using danbooru with extensions that modify the site to display 200 images a page (BBB) and going to page 200 takes us to September 6th 2018 with this lewd Graf Image

200 images a page over 200 pages is 40k images, which is more than AL has received in its lifetime since spring 2017.

from roughly the same time, September 4th 2018, we have this schoolgirl AL Takao, found on page 85

200 images over 85 pages is 17000. A significant number but not half as much as bote this

>>22290157
An Oktoberfest would be organized by some German guy and his friends, so they could be local to that guy's town, or you might have to travel long distance to find one.

>>22291491
Setting the bar for "not a turd" drastically higher than the bar for average is asking a bit much.

>>22291497
The whole point of the treaty was to restrict the capabilities of ships, but there's no denying that the designs that tried to get around it were not great

So she's sitting upright and at least parts of the flight deck are still there, but what caused that distortion of the hull? That can't have been done by bombs.

>>22291533
rough landing on the seafloor maybe?

>>22291536
Possibly.
Bismarck crashed into the ground and slided several hundred meters without any real distortion, but she made ground contact on even keel.
If Akagi crashed into the floor at an steep angle, that could have done that.

>>22291514
Armor, displacement, and number of guns.
Treaty-era cruisers have poor armor, low gun count (or a high gun count but awful ROF) and low displacement which means shorter range.

>>22291514
In order for a CA to do what navies wanted CAs to do in WW2 it needed armor, armament, speed, and range to all be at a certain level that was nearly impossible to achieve under treaty weight limitations. This only got worse when the rapid technological advancement kicked in and you had to add significant AA, plus assorted electronic equipment, neither of which were light.
Some treaty designs were better than others but they were all bad by the time any of them got into combat. The only really good CAs were the ones built after the treaties were abandoned.

Whatever happened to Milihime Taisen?

I could go for an Iku seasonal.

Should've been a loli

Say what you want, but from what we saw so far those two still look better than i had expected after what happened to them at Midway. Bot hulls seem to be more or less intact.

Waka waka waka

>>22286657
I just ran it with 5DD1CL with a night scout plane on the CL, two flares, a searchlight on the flagship, and two guns for double attack on everyone. Radar for the extra slots, but lookouts are fine too.

>>22291683
From every discussion I remember about potentially finding them in the past, everyone assumed they would be strewn about in pieces. It's a nice surprise.

>>22291716
well there are pieces of Kaga separated from the main wreck site, we've known that sense the 90's/early 00's.

>Images of Kaga (when she was still floating, that is--we'll have more underwater pics soon):
yea, over 19 years later.

>>22291743
>>22291716

It's no surprise that most of the flight decks is gone, given the fires on board, but yes, i's somewhat surprised the ships are still in one piece.
Must be the glorious ship hull, folded a thousand times.

>>22289002
Why is her collarbone smiling

>>22291716
Makes you wonder how Shinano will look when they eventually find her, there was no fire or explosion, if the ship didn't smash on the sea floor, it will be intact save for the holes.

>>22291766
The power of Zui.

>>22291764
>i's somewhat surprised the ships are still in one piece
well, what damage could they have received that would cause the hull to break? There wasn't any magazine explosions from deep within the ship that could break the hull like on Yamato and Musashi, and the torpedoes used for scuttling didn't cause the hulls to be broken apart.like on USS New Orleans and USS Minneapolis for example.

talking about magazines again, did Akagi and Kaga actually carry ammunition for their 8 inch secondary armament?

>>22291835
imagine Mutsu dressed like that

>>22291831
The fire could have weakened the structure, and/or the impact on the seafloor could have done the rest. Look what a collapsed mess Lusitania is.
Also a ship can blow up while sinking, see Yamato when she rolled over and the shells exploded.

>>22291862
Image if we had any skins like that.

>>22291835
How embarrassing.

>>22291862
imagine posting this trash in their respective thread.

>>22291866
>Also a ship can blow up while sinking, see Yamato when she rolled over and the shells exploded.
Yes, that's why I mentioned Yamato and Musashi in my post and asked if Akagi and Kaga carried ammo for the 8 inch guns.

You mean how amazing.

>>22291882
Yeah, it's amazing that something this bad could be official art.

Unfortunately i don't know.
