even in civ5 battleships are immediately made obsolete by bombers

note that this hasnt actually ever gone to a real war against a real foe but if we actually end up fighting the soviets in the 70s theyll just nuke it

Do you really want the navy to launch its entire nuclear arsenal? Submarines will laugh off nukes fired from Socialist states. Everyone was loving terrified of a single nuke going off for several decades and the navy has many. Just be glad the world is too much of a pussy to force a nuclear confrontation.

subs launching the nukes is whaty happens when everything else has gone to poo poo. if nukes are on the table a surface navy at sea is just a freebie with negligible civilian and environmental collateral and it's not going to provoke a full doomsday nuclear response because its not the end of the world

Are you saying that the US wouldn't nuke the poo poo out of somebody that nuked one our our carrier groups? This isn't a country precisely known for turning the other cheek.

If it was Iraq of course we would but we're talking about fighting the future nazi USSR or whatever where a full nuclear exchange means the end of the world

Plenty of the M.A.D. scenarios start with little tit-for-tat nuclear strikes that escalate into a major exchange.

Dreadnoughts are void-capable and can be deployed on space hulks that have no life support systems.

We only need enough to glass an uppity country. Better do it before we give Iran nukes.

Came for the battleships, left disappointed.

Here's some cool paintings of Jutland and dreadnoughts slugging it out instead of dumb warhammer toys.

Isoroku Yamamoto was talking about battleships being obsolete in the mid 1930's, and how the IJN should be building more carriers. Oops.

Some Astartes dreadnoughts are over 10,000 years old.

Just bjorn actually I think hes the oldest loyalist left. Everyone else dead or lost on the warp
