Völkian Navy during the Great War

Völkden Empire encountered very minimal aircraft threat over the duration of the Great War, The Heidemann was still refitted in the spring of 1942 with extensive anti-aircraft armament at the cost of four of the 6" three-gun turrets.

Would put more details, but at this point my shoddy laptop can barely handle it and crashed repeatedly. Still planning on getting a new PC, hopefully soon.



Oh also Dazzle camo. Never again. Took like an hour trying to make a pattern and another three hours to trace all of it onto the hull 4 helicoptersStarted this without any actual reference since I was cut off from the internet for a week. Was going for some sorta Bismarck-Iowa battleship off memory, the Yamato-like bits just kinda happened :Scompared to the Prinz Heinrich I made the 6'' and 5'' gun turrets slightly larger. Main gun turrets used to be ridiculously large, like the barbette ate up 2/3rd of the deck. Now they're moderately bigger than the Yamato's.Would put more details, but at this point my shoddy laptop can barely handle it and crashed repeatedly.

the Heidemann-class super battleship was a single warship that served the Imperial. Constructed in 1938, the Heidemann was the largest warship in the IVN until the the completion of thefirst nuclear carrier. The Heidemann was designed to function more as a floating artillery platform for land forces than a naval combatant as its main armament of eight 19.8'' (500mm) guns caused significant issues with the secondary armaments. As such only ten percent of her total main gun munitions carried are armor piercing.Despite her drawbacks the Heidemann successfully sunk the Cruti Arancia-class light cruisers Zarono and Macco while defending the Pescontea Landings in 1942.The Heidemann remained in active service well into the 60s. However due to high costs, she remained in docks for the majority of her service until 1962 when it was officially stricken from service and converted into a museum ship. In 1974 she was reactivated into service, modernized with missile armaments and shelled ground targets inOn june 18, 1982, while serving as a museum ship she was bombed by far-left terrorist group Red Star, however she suffered no significant damage and no visitors were injured in the attack.She is currently moored in the bay of Nordweith and is scheduled to be scrapped by the end of the year.24 ×56 × 40mm rifled guns in fourteen four-gun mounts12 × 40mm rifled guns in six two-gun mounts
