After the end of World War I, although the international situation was temporarily stable, the naval arms game among the great powers continued.
In order to curb the vicious development of the arms race, the 1922 "Five-Power Naval Treaty" imposed strict restrictions on the total tonnage of the capital ships of the five countries, and this mandatory standard led to the large-scale reduction of existing ships by various countries, of which the United States dismantled 20 battleships, Britain reduced 15 ships, and Japan was forced to scrap 10 ships.
From this point of view, the treaty has indeed restricted the shipbuilding frenzy of various countries, but anything with rules must have ways to break the rules, even if the "Five-Power Naval Treaty" is also to prevent gentlemen and villains, and various countries have come up with ways to circumvent them, and secretly launched a "military race under the stage".
For example, the United States converted the unfinished Lexington-class battleships into aircraft carriers, and then developed the Alaska-class battleships that were "hybrid" with battleships and cruisers; The Japanese did an even worse thing, not only converting their unfinished battleships into aircraft carriers to free up capital ship tonnage, but also building the most advanced cruisers with dual-caliber conversion capabilities. The ship was initially equipped with 155mm main guns, but Japan's reservation to upgrade the 203mm naval gun module is undoubtedly a blatant challenge to the treaty's restrictions on shipboard weapons.
Although the treaty curbed the expansion of the Japanese navy in the short term, it did not dampen its expansionist ambitions. In the early 1930s, Japan unilaterally withdrew from international naval agreements, launched a large-scale shipbuilding program, and successively built strategic weapons such as the Yamato-class super battleship and the Zuizuru-class fleet aircraft carrier, posing a huge threat to the world's military balance.
Faced with an imbalance of naval power in the Pacific, Britain was given permission to build a Nelson-class battleship as a counterbalance, which was later implemented in the World of Warships game and became a reference for modern military fans to study World War II naval technology. In the latest version 14.3, players can purchase random bundles with gold.
"World of Warships" Nelson appeared in the design of the Y-series 7-class battleship, in terms of hull, it has 27mm standard armor at the head and stern, and the bow can jump AP shells below 380mm; The middle section is 32mm armor, and the ability to carry washing and carrying HE is good. However, it should be noted that its core area is set relatively high, and there is no dome armor around it, which leads to the fact that as long as it is punched through the side plate by the opposite side, the shell will go straight into the core area, so it is necessary to use the side armor at a small angle to form equivalent armor and improve the protection effect.
In addition, Nelson has 13.36 water concealment, 8.9 air concealment, speed of 24 knots, maneuverability and concealment are average, it also has 59400 blood, although the base volume is not high, but because it is equipped with an extremely powerful royal sword, the total blood volume can be pulled to more than 18W, which is 6~7W more blood than the same level of Love Eagle and the Duke of York, which is very durable. However, due to the slow recovery of health in the core area, you should still pay attention to protection and don't rely too much.
Finally, when it comes to firepower, Nelson is equipped with three triple 406mm guns, which have a complete crushing effect on the bow of the same class. Compared with AP shells, Nelson's HE shells have more advantages in actual combat, with 6900 standard wounds, 101mm penetration depth, 46% fire, 30 seconds reload time, the data is very powerful, and the British battle spread with a Sigma coefficient of 1.9 can also effectively improve its hit rate, and high ignition also has a strong suppression ability for battleships.
Nelson, as a 7-tier battleship, was launched for a long time, and even went out of print for a time. Now that it's revived, it's definitely worth playing. And the random gift package also has the opportunity to open to the Y-series 10-level submarine seal, and the S-series 7-level battleship Poltava, interested friends may wish to experience it online!
