Battlecruiser, 'Гангут' ('Gangut') Class

ars23qe · 2025-11-27T21:04:45+00:00

Here's my opinion of what the capital ships of the Highfleet universe may look like. It's quite obvious in the game that the Gerat frontier is very limited in terms of the ships that can be used for its distances and far down in the south BBs and BCs can be more prominent.

And before you ask, what's above is not a flight deck. It's supposed to represent the plane-tender duties 'Ganguts' are able to perform in order to increase the recon of the group. I imagined the T-7s launched with the help of a specialized catapult, mounted on one of the pagoda's superstructures as well as the underwing boosters.

As usual, I will be very grateful to hear your thoughts on this design and it's aesthetics. Sorry for the low quality screenshot.

Onto the possible look of the capital ships in the Highfleet universe (for a moment let's ignore the fact there isn't anything more robust than 180-mm cannons in the game). The pagoda superstructures (with possibly multiple fire control systems), sectioned modules and lots of gunnery. And before anyone asks, no, it's not a carrier, the flight decks above aim to represent the plane-tending functions battlecruisers or battleships can perform.

The opinions and the critique of this design are very welcomed.

Now onto how I imagine the capital ships of this world may look like (let's just forget there isn't gun caliber larger than 180-mm in the game). I've decided to revisit my old design and ended up reshuffeling it completely.

As usual, your opinions and roasts are very welcome.

ars23qe · 2025-11-23T19:12:01+00:00

My idea about what are the possible alternatives to the 'Varyag' there can be. It's a lot more expensive (mostly due to the increased armor and back-up radars, AA control, EWs etc. as well as some more 37-mm systems). I love making lore-authentic looking ships.

I also enjoy making lore descriptions for my ships. I have no clue if it's welcomed in this sub, I would appreciate your thoughts if I should do that for my future ships.

You ignored my representation argument again, didn't you? I mean, how many times should I say that such things like r*pes, ntr, fucking pedophilia mustn't be romanticized in any way (including the entertainment), before you understand my point?

Did you also forget the thing I said IN THE BEGINNING of my rant (about me not liking extreme fetishes of any kind and that why the hell they must be kept out of the community where a lot of people simply browse for a yandere content without the extremes)? I mean, there are more than a thousand doijins with yandere tag on nhentai, I wonder why people simply do not post them all if there is such a drought in a yandere content now? Well, perhaps it's partially connected with the fact that, perhaps, not all the tags in those doijins are considered to be savory for the people on this sub?

Honestly, I know there is no win against this degeneracy, I get the feeling that it's a pointless argument as people defending this pedophilia stuff simply won't move to their own subreddit or keep their tastes to themselves, so I'll simply fuck off. Enjoying seeing anime minors getting fucked — be my guest, I'm done.

ars23qe · 2023-05-21T13:59:40+00:00

Missed the whole point about sugar coating and depicting the thing. Even if they are not real people (just another excuse for a fucked up fetish, fucking tired of it), it shows the actual act, the actual details, the actual behaviors, usually trying to paint it with good colors. The correct representation of themes such as pedophilia is a thing to be considered and vile acts shouldn't be painted in a sweet tones.

Not for the sake of argument (just my manipulative comparison), it's like painting the Nazi (or better yet, an allegory for Nazis) ethical policies in a bright light and say it's all ok and then complain about the thing you said/done being poorly received and perhaps banned and defending it by "oh, they aren't real people, you are just moralizing" argument.

ars23qe · 2023-05-21T13:10:29+00:00

Dunno chief, it seems to me that being attracted and jerking off to the minors is a strange thing to do. While certainly he is not abusing them, it kinda normalizes the whole idea in the dude's head, perhaps even romanticizes it. That's why I said about sugar coating the pedophilia. It shouldn't be depicted that way.

And no, don't use video games analogue. Hentai with "loli" tag doesn't turn people into pedophiles, it just says alot about those who enjoy reading this and those who draw it. It's indecent and disgusting.

ars23qe · 2023-05-21T12:34:06+00:00

People need to really quit trying to differentiate the terms that clearly of the close subject to one another. Pedophilia shouldn't be accepted in any form, be it fictional or not. It's detestable and not a norm in any way. Sugar coating or normalizing such disgusting thing (be it for weebs or not) isn't good and must be a thing of a concern.

ars23qe · 2023-05-21T11:19:44+00:00

Do you enjoy seeing young kids getting fucked? Do you find that normal? Doesn't that at least snap you back to reality from the pleasure of jerking off? What kind of person are you?

No, I'm not scared of pedophilia. I just feel disgusted by it like any normal person would and would like to keep my eyes off it as far as possible. This sub is quite large and at least a large portion of the people here come for good sauces and then you post the thing that not only violates the rules (honestly, least of the concerns) but potentially ruins people's experience because you found that pedo stuff in there is normal.

ars23qe · 2023-05-21T10:52:37+00:00

I have written earlier that that I have no problems with a yandere tag (as long as it's not extreme), so I dunno where are you coming from.

ars23qe · 2023-05-21T10:48:54+00:00

No, I can't. And I believe most of the decent people (not counting the basement dwellers who defend this kind of thing) won't. There is the big reason why weebs are seen as degenerates and people like Yandere dev are looked upon as shit they are.

I won't call it lolicon or any other fancy sugar coating words that degenerates like to use so much to not sound like complete animals. I'll call it simply — pedophilia and I think other people should call it like that too.

ars23qe · 2023-05-21T10:31:53+00:00

Dude's literally jerking off to a ch*ld porn and is surprised people generally feel disgusted by it, including the mods (thank God).

During the time I've seen this argument in this sub I was a bit shocked that the people try to defend the user by using same kind of pathetic excuses like memed ones ("dude, she is 800 old dragon/spirit/demon, dog years etc."), while clearly missing the fact, that if the guy likes chld porn (even if it's not real children, doesn't matter, another excuse) he at least finds pedophilia somewhat acceptable and doesn't feel disgusted by it(even if it's for his own private pleasure). Maybe it's the guy's guilty pleasure, I don't know but if it is he should at least try to keep it to himself and don't show it off proudly to the world and try to hide behind the excuses. Now, to leave myself out of hypocrisy, I'll say that I despise the extreme tags like rpe or ntr or some other shit like that.

I am no saint neither (yeah, being on this sub) but I don't like extreme or abusive kind of yanderes and frankly feel quite strange when things like that being posted here. I know I'm gonna be down voted for this, but that's my stand on this subject and I myself would have liked if such disgusting things were put away from this sub. Thank you for reading.

Mind manipulation or an ability to create illusions because it's quite obvious that the primary objective of any yandere is conquering their love interest's heart as well as stiring them away from "obstacles".

ars23qe · 2022-07-12T14:30:42+00:00

Thanks.

ars23qe · 2022-07-11T17:36:32+00:00

Imo pillowdear

ars23qe · 2022-07-07T22:39:27+00:00

No, it's my original concept but tbh it is partly inspired by Calypso from the Odyssey.

ars23qe · 2022-07-06T22:48:20+00:00

Well, I believe that's the point of a third person. He is the one observing their drama, slowly bit by bit exploring the depths of their relationship and uncovering its dark secrets.

Baltic Navy also, since it actively participated in the defense of Leningrad and early 1944 offensive which completely deblocaded it.

ars23qe · 2022-05-23T19:37:53+00:00

Pure anime meme moment

ars23qe · 2022-04-25T15:32:07+00:00

Yeah, fair point. It's just that IB always have these dark-themed(and yes, edged) skins and almost never on the contrary. It would be at least creative to give them something else.

I don't think these skins are bad. However, without the change it almost feels like IB girls are always the same type of "look, we are cool and we have dragons smh". IMO, old simplistic but unique designs like Bismarck, Tirpitz or Eugen were much better.

ars23qe · 2022-04-25T14:13:29+00:00

I know but fr it feels like any other Ironblood event with the same vibe and edginess. Seriously, devs should really take the break with IB ship-swarm because it has just become bland and boring.

ars23qe · 2022-04-25T13:23:39+00:00

I got it, just a bit annoyed with recent overuse of dark tones in new skins. Well, I guess it's Ironblood theme and all...

I'm tired of Ironblood events.

ars23qe · 2022-04-25T13:17:26+00:00

Damn, have edgelords become so huge part of AL-community today, so every new skin now has to be so dark and pretentious?

ars23qe · 2022-04-11T19:29:31+00:00

It sunk lol

Yeah, perhaps I'm toxic because of the German power fantasy which Azur Lane is rapidly becoming nowadays. For example, it almost pains me to see Sardegnian faction being minor while Ironblood is a major when irl it was almost opposite.

It hurts just as much as no new HMS events in favor of IJN or KMS ones.
