HMAS Irresistible: Tier X Commonwealth (Australia) Battleship 1950

A battleship armed with sixteen 234 mm main guns, which could have been built in Britain in the late 1940s and subsequently transferred to the Royal Australian Navy. In terms of architecture and hull design, the ship represents a further development of the Vanguard class. The 234 mm guns were considered by the Admiralty in the late 1930s as one of the promising weapon systems for future warships.

Key Features

Main Battery

Packing sixteen 234mm guns, this thing can dish out some serious pain. Whether you’re slinging HE or AP shells, the damage per minute is solid. The ballistics are pretty flat, so you’re a real threat at shorter ranges. Plus, the dispersion is similar to the Illinois, so if you’re familiar with that, you’ll feel right at home.

Concealment

This ship’s got some sneaky vibes going on. Its good concealment means you can set up in some sweet spots and catch your enemies off guard. Perfect for those surprise attacks that leave them wondering what just hit them.

Consumables

• Damage Control Party: Your standard fix for fires and floods.
• Repair Party: A lifesaver for patching up your hit points.
• Crawling Smoke Generator: Lets you stay stealthy and pull off some slick tactical moves.

Survivability

Now, here’s where things get a bit dicey. The citadel is kinda vulnerable, so you’ll want to avoid taking heavy hits there. The armor isn’t the strongest either, and your hitpoint pool is on the smaller side. So, while you’ve got some great tools for dishing out damage and staying hidden, you’ll need to play smart to stay alive.

Summary

In a nutshell, this ship is all about hitting hard and fast while staying under the radar. Just keep in mind that you’re a bit of a glass cannon, so strategy and positioning are key!
