As a side note, when it comes to her appearance, Incomparable was altered quite a bit by Wargaming as they decided to make the superstructure very similar to the one of HMS Hood, including the addition of a second funnel. Incomparable is also equipped with an Engine Boost similar to Repulse as well as a Short-range Hydroacoustic Search. In World of Warships, Incomparable is, to nobody’s surprise, a “Battlecruiser-like” battleship with thin armor, especially on the bow and stern as well as accurate guns. In the end, considering the questionable military value of such a ship and with the events of Jutland in mind, the design was completely abandoned. The ship was meant to be armed with six 508 mm guns in three twin turrets, two superfiring at the front and one at the rear. When it comes to the firepower… well Incomparable was definitely a fitting name. In exchange, her armor would have been quite thin with a belt of 279 mm. A very large ship displacing 46 000 tons at standard displacement and fitted with powerful engines allowing it to reach a speed of no less than 35 knots. The Incomparable was basically taking the concept of a battlecruiser to its limits. HMS Incomparable was a battlecruiser design from 1915, pushed by Admiral John Fisher. Is she worth it? Are her gigantic 508 mm guns worth this hard-earned steel? Here is my opinion on the subject. The British battlecruiser HMS Incomparable will be available for the cost of 31 000 Steel! Ladies and Gentlemen, with the release of Update 0.11.0, a new monster will be added to the Armory.
