Meet one of the best damage dealers in the British lineup![/i] [h2]HMS Renown, battlecruiser, Britain, rank V. Event vehicle.[/h2] Features: [list] [*] 381mm main guns [*] High speed [*] Multiple AA guns [/list] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//4649813/f768adec6822d10459815ce318b60fda66f8320c.jpg[/img] The battlecruiser Renown will become a new event ship at rank V in the British bluewater fleet tech tree. The high firepower and good cruising performance of the ship are most fully revealed in the attack on enemy positions and the hunt for the most heavily armoured opponents. The main battery of HMS Renown is six 381 mm guns in three twin-barreled turrets. Two turrets and four of six main guns are located in the fore part of the hull one over another, which means that the ship is perfect for engaging enemy ships along its course, minimising the ship’s profile and dodging enemy shells.

The gun mounts are placed in five on each side of the cruiser and come in handy both against light ships and enemy aircraft. In general, HMS Renown is one of the most difficult targets in the game for enemy aerial attacks: 114 mm cannons start firing at long distances, the famous British 40 mm “pom-pom” gun mounts join when the target comes closer, followed by single and twin-barreled 20 mm. Oerlikon guns to complete the punishment.

The most vulnerable areas of the ship are its main turrets with barbettes, capable of surviving no more than cruiser fire. Claim the dazzling HMS Renown in our special event and confront ‘em head on!
