You forgot a few things: Her main guns were completely rebuilt which made them basically brand new The loading mechanism was completely brand new The fire control system was the most advanced ever put on to a battleship She was the most accurate battleship afloat (beating the Iowa’s) She had essentially an auto aim which adjusted the turrets automatically so they would hit every time. Her armour layout was placed in a more effective layout She fired a super charged shell which hit harder than any British battleship built before it (even the Nelsons) Her AA is all radar guided Her secondaries are all autoloading which gives them a reload of about 6 seconds

Definitely a ship that should've been kept instead of scrapped. Ceremonial purposes for sure, but this IS the last battleship ever built.

Vanguard: Whats my purpose? Royal Navy: To be scrapped

So you make the Vanguard, one of the most advanced floating radar platforms built, with only the pair of T3 consumables and then give the soviet paper ships a special radar... Ok.

Fun fact #1 - not only were Vanguard's gun form Glorious and Courageous along with other ships too e.g elevation gear and gun houses, but they were extensively renovated before instillation they were essentially as good as brand new. Fun fact #2 - The Vanguard's design and hull form not only gave her the best seaworthiness in the RN battleships but it actually gave her better seaworthiness than the US Iowa Class which could not deal with sea anything other than calm seas as well as Vanguard could - honestly google and look at photos of Iowa in rough seas compared to Vanguard in rough seas.

She's not a terrible ship. I've had fun playing her and have even had a couple of 150k damage games in her. Vanguard is a difficult ship to play, due to the fact she sees a lot of tier X ships.

I really like the british Battleships :) they allways look like someone took a Knights Castle from the medieval England and screw it on a ships hull xD

Nice moment to advertise a concealment-focused ship.

put her up to tier 9 and give her a load of buffs including more accuracy on the guns, penetration and for god sakes some radar. as this is the most advanced Battleship in history.

The Vanguard has the wrong secondaries, they should be the RP10 mounts, not the 15 year older mk1 mounts off the KGV. They were built with better autoloaders, and remote radar controlled tracking and directors.

Ship needs more buffs and tbh, T8 is a HORRIBLE tier to play at.

I love this ship. I think it is one of the best tVIII BBs in the game

She does look good but for now at least I'm reluctant to invest anymore money into the game

She's a rather rare ship. I barely see her in battle. I even see more Kii's and Gascones than Vanguards in T8. Too bad cuz she looks like a good ship. I hope she drops in a SC for me.

I would love a Cape Town Port with Table mountain in the background,there is a famous photo where Vanguard is in Cape Town with Table Mountain in the background

Honestly,she can be useful on some cold war battles, like korean war for example

is she can beat T10? 80%~ of battles T8 are against T10 so if she cannot this is useless

When u are in a match against t10 ships, you will know those 381mm guns are both old and useless.

I mean at least she was a “Real” ship! Not just an idea on paper!

it is a tough ship to play but i think it requires some buff, like you could improve its dispersion a little bit more since it does not have many guns and they are 380cm they aint gonna overmatch much when uptiered. a 50 mm middle deck would be useful as well. or maybe how about improved AP angles like those from stalingrad)) or it would be to OP?

32mm armour, giant citadel and eight T6 guns. Somehow is still really fun!

I can't wait for the next Naval Legends

Military history and gaming all in one package

I saw this ship in full health deleted by NC in one salvo about 13 km.

Yeah but concealment got nerfed so is it still viable?

The thing is, british battleships have a massive superstructure and it having basically no armour it can be fatal if a salvo comes to you

Would be a great T7 Battleship but at T8 she's just a big floating target. She needs that repair party too.

It would be really nice if there is a version of this ship on mobile.

“It’s enough to dodge torpedoes and escape with minimal damage” It doesn’t matter how fast the rudder turns, if her tactical diameter is 850 meters, it means she’ll barely turn much even at full rudder shift. Quick Rudder Shift just means you can start the hardest turn it can make just a bit earlier and that doesn’t mean much when torps won’t show up far enough away. Say torpedoes appear off your starboard side , no matter how fast rudder shift is, you’re still dead. Imo, if your Turning Circle Radius is 800 or more, you’re slow to turn and will have a hard time dodging torpedoes. Hood has the same issue but at least with Hood, there are records of crew noting that she had a hard time turning in and out of port. So it makes sense for Hood in this case. Furthermore, while Iowa has decent rudder shift time, her 920 m turning circle radius is atrocious, as she historically had a turning radius of 744 m. Which is very good for her size. But yeah, let’s make good ships turn like ass for no reason.

Holly shiet are those 6 mount bofors

Vanguard was one of those beautiful battleships that were built, but had no chance to show their full battle potential in World War 2 and broken up for scrap after the war. In my opinion, placing Vanguard in World of Warships was a great choice, as not only do we see, how would she prevail against enemy warships, but like the developer said, it's a ship that needs clever tactics to survive.

narrator is an absolute god

Would be nice to see her come up for rent, so we can she what shes like before buying her.

most people who reached tier have enough courage? me: a player... no they hide behind islands and never cap

In PS4 the vanguard is hard to use most people say it's trash

>sees Lion YEEEEEA BOI >Lion hull becomes Vanguard *ties a Brit to a chair and microwaves a cuppa in front of him*

hurry up and release Alaska! I can't wait to try her poi~ :3

I hope the Vanguard were added on Blitz

Why should players buy a premium ship that will potentially be nerfed in the future (like happens to GC)?

A three point skill for one consumable? Hmm

I expected something slightly more than 6mins video when you made a 40sec trailer for it...

The last battleship made

Most beatiful ship in game i think

Lower the citadel and this thing will be a beast.

I thought this would be an Armada 2.0...

Hmm..... I prefer the old armada with such a cool infographic with 3d cg of the in game model

I like the Holland class submarine

Can u add this on blitz?

what happend with the spanish subtitles?? T_T

A ship named Vanguard which isn't good at pushing? Makes ya think. 🤔

Where is Dasha?

We like the Vanguard but at T8 it's just not very competitive.

3:32 given the fact there's a large number of players with tausends of battles and below 50% average I dare to disagree.

Tier 8? She's a Super Mobile Battleship. I give her surpasses Tier 10. Tier 0 of warship, however Britain of Royal Navy doesnt give reserve that is the maiin problem. She deserve love, got it?

Well new replacement of Hood.... what if it facing a Yamato and actually get detonated.... :3

Love mine. Great AP, Excellent AA, Can take a beating, Torpbeats like a pro. Feels like the HMS Warspite on a Monster Energy drink rush

the ship that signified the death of an empire

Imagine uss Iowa and hms vanguard vs Bismarck and Yamato Who do u think will win I think Bismarck will be sunk and vanguard with a close call between yamato and Iowa

2:06 her inner propellers had five blades not three.

fix the audio already ingame already

Did this video just try to tell us that at the start of ww2 the "balance of naval forces was not in favour of great Britain" . . . Pull the other one, it's got bells on XD

he said enough history because of the tragedy of what they done to it

“Not in favor of Great Britain” *shows HMS Barham exploding* Barham exploded because Jervis’ warning were ignored

HMS Vanguard deserved 16inch guns. But they wanted to speed up production and used 15 inch guns already built.. Tsk tsk tsk. She deserved to have the same caliber as HMS Rodney and Nelson. Such a shame. Or even the 419 MM guns.

RULE BRITTANIA BRITTANIA RULE THE WAVES

Hmmmm.... Looks like vanguard is not selling well, huh WG?

In World of Warships Legends have she a 15km range….LOL :,)

Just hold off on premiums for a while. You need to undo the carrier "rework" first, or remove the new "carriers." Full stop: undo the damage you caused, and then we can talk about selling ships to us again.

Ok... But the italian ships? : /

"Omae wa mou shinderu". -CV

Armada without THE MUSIC... shame!

For an HMS ship I was extremely dissapointed with her lack of consumables. She's okay to be used offensively, ...as a Vanguard because of her speed and armor, but her firing angles are atrocious. Got it for free but am thinking of selling it for credits.

The true basement of conqueror, but unfortunately she does not own the same horrible HE like conqueror.

2019 Still no Montana Armada ......

Tirpitz & Bismarck still alot better, obv.. :D

i need korean subtitles

You actually call her difficult? That literally means she's underpowered

What i learned from this....Dasha has had a sex change.

Talk about flogging a dead horse Wargaming... And with the up tiering of the Giulio Cesare they betrayed our trust so forget it!!!

不要整天想賺錢: 1.新地圖 2.鋼鐵任務 3.那麼想賺錢，商店開始販售鋼鐵好了

Give the Vanguard radar for Christs sake.

Just Got Vanguard On Azur Lane Today On 2nd x10 Pull, (2ND PULL GANG EYYYY--) Goodluck On Fellow Commanders There Who Will Pull Her And Wish You Got Em ❤️

Good video! Almost made me want to buy her but then I remember that WG is going to start messing around with prem ships and you no longer know if what you're buying is REALLY what you're buying. Sorry WG, you lost this whale. No more from me without a major company policy change and guarantee you won't change prems after you release them. Or if you do, you better offer real currency returns, not just doubloons or any other "in game" currency.

Well isn’t that funny she costs £40

When I see Vanguard on my team, I know that we will lose...

#FixTheCVs

:)

Since Warspite, Queen Elizabeth, Hood, and Vanguard all use the SAME GUN(s), shouldn't they fire the SAME SHELLS and do the SAME DAMAGE and have the SAME ARMOR PENETRATION?

“Well-proven high calibre guns in stock...gathering dust in storage”, or rather the British couldn’t afford researching new naval guns so they could only mount obsolete guns on a new battleship???

Add submarines they were a good part of naval history

British is good at showing off there powers on battleship ,but they are not good at all, proof is the Germans U-Boats almost defeated the British

Battleships in wows are total garbage.
