Vanguard

A few things to know

Vanguard is a real solid ship, but lacks short range AA, like Lion (B hull) and Conqueror, so if fighting against Carriers, one must use a captain with a specific AA build. In the ship page is reccomended for slot 4 Damage Control System Modification 2; I say that players shuold try to play a few games, best if in Coop Battles, to see how the ship reacts to Fires, since those are a more common threat compared to floods, if the ship reacts badly and catches Fire like dry wood, then insert Damage Control System Modification 2, otherwhise place in slot 4 Propulsion System Modification, to increase the ship acceleration and deceleration time. Considering that the ship Rudder shift time is just 9.7 seconds, upgrades to Rudder shift time are a low priority, but in case even with 9.7 seconds, players still have a hard time dodging Torpedoes, then insert Steering Gear Modification 1, in slot 4, this will reduce the shift time by 20% making Vanguard Rudder the fastest of any Battleship present in game up to date.

Different hull shape

In Vanguard description it is stated that the ship is similar to Warspite, but who wrote this must not have known about the last Super Dreadnought tuoe Battleships builted by the Royal Navy; in fact Vanguard and Warspite are totally different, the only similarity is in the Main Battery, but only in diameter 381mm and lenght, 42 Calibers. Warspite is a short and large Super Dreadnought type Battleship, while Vanguard is a long and narrow Fast Battleship, similar in shape to the last Super Dreadnought type Battleship of the Royal Navy the Revenge class.
