Neither did Bismarck. Both were just helluva big ships that everybody though were sort of scary or cool and both were sunk in their first real battle. The whole concept of huge ship with as many and as big cannons as possible was already outdated when the ships were build.
The Bismark wasnt sunk in its first real engagement. Its first engagement was against the battlecruiser HMS Hood, the flagship of the Royal Navy Home Fleet. Quite a scary thing if your main ship that protects your island from invasion get sunk with minimal effort. That lead to an epic mission to sink the Bismark. Maybe if the germans were smart and stuck some destroyers to help protect it, maybe it would've lasted longer. Nobody was ever really scared of the Yamoto.
Phungus, what do you think of these two ships?? Do you think the longboat should have oars, I probably could attach some if need be. And what about the second ship?? Do you think it is a good startin point for barbary pirate. Maybe some skinning could make it more piratey/scary looking. Also not sure if this is used already. Have you seen this model as an ethnic ship in LoR?
BTW Korean Star Kraft pro gaming is fun to watch:
Yeah the koreans are beasts in starcraft, well pretty much every other game as well. Once Tekken6 comes out in america, though, they will feel my wrath!
