HMS Vanguard vs USS Montana | War on the Sea What if Match - Last vs Greatest Battleship

HMS Vanguard takes on USS Montana in a friendly post war fictional exercise. The last battleship ever built vs the most effective ever designed. Two titans duel it out. USS Montana outguns HMS Vanguard 12 barrels to 8, outweighs her by 18,000 tons, hits harder at longer range, and carries armour on a different scale entirely — 434mm belt, 263mm deck, 541mm magazine faces. Vanguard's answer to all of that is exactly 2 knots.That's the only number Vanguard wins on. Montana's 16"/50 guns reach further. Montana can put 16-inch shells through Vanguard's 356mm armour with authority. The immunity zone maths are brutal — Vanguard has nowhere safe. To win, Vanguard must use her speed edge to dictate range — stay inside her own immunity band and outside Montana's. It's not impossible. It's just very unlikely. Montana must simply hold her range and let the guns do what they were designed to do. She was built to kill other battleships. Vanguard is exactly the sort of fodder she needs to feed on. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎮 Game: War on the Sea by Killerfish Games 📺 Series: What If Tournament — Season 1 ⚔️ Format: 1v1 what-if battleship engagement ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 SPECIFICATIONS AT A GLANCE USS Montana — 63,221t | 12 × 16"/50 | 434mm belt | 28kn | Mk 8 radar FC HMS Vanguard — 44,500t | 8 × 15"/42 | 356mm belt | 30kn | Type 274 radar FC Montana immunity zone: ~17,000–32,000 yds Vanguard immunity zone: ~15,500–27,500 yds DONATE/SUPPORT GRIM REAPERS PATREON monthly donations:   / grimreapers   PAYPAL one-off donations: https://www.paypal.me/GrimReapersDona...
