I'm pretty sure the Tirpitz was the Bismarks sister ship, the Tirpitz probably has more AA guns mounted because the Bismarks main weakness was its lack of AA firepower, which was obvious when it was attacked and crippled by obsolete RN Swordfish.Tirpitz a "super" battleship? notify:
Bismarck sure, but Tirpitz?
Yamato, Bismarck. Thats it in my book.
Unless you count the ones the US had under construction in 1945. "Ticonderoga" class? I am probably mistaken. None were ever put to sea.
I think the Tirpitz main armament was the same as the Bismarcks - they both had 8x15 inch guns. The strength of the German Battleships was that they were heavily armoured, and it showed when the Bismarck was hit by several British Ships, but continued to float. It took a considerable amount of fire and torpedoes to finally sink the Bismarck.Lone wulf you 100% right the Triptiz was the bismark's sister ship
But the Tripitz was considerd the largest BB of the war because of its 20inch extremly high powerd guns although that thankfully she never tested them out on any RN ships
But I dont think enigma would put that in
Bismarck had a very tough hull but at the end of the engagement none of her main guns where firing indeed within five mins of the start of the ingagement with KGV and Rodney 2 of her 15" turrits where knocked outI think the Tirpitz main armament was the same as the Bismarcks - they both had 8x15 inch guns.

And the Tirpitz was sunk in a Norweigen port by RAF Bombers.
East,We will be submitting it to Dreamcatcher this coming week. It will likely take a week to 10 days to finish up their testing before release.
