Warhammer 40k Lore - Imperial Navy, Emperor, Invinicible, Oberon Battleships 

lol

British Navy Admirals, 1916.

literally happened in real life. but the real one's name was fisher.

I would say the main problem of the Invincible was that it wasn't invincible :D

I love the Oberon, next to a Retribution or Apocolyps it just lack survivability for line work, my one got chewed up during the 3rd War for Armageddon by Ork Kruzers and limped off with 1 hull point, keeping it behind the line line an Emerpor means u can't take full advantage of it's flexibility, I think an Oberon with a Retribution style armoured hull and Torps would be a lot more successful... a battleship which could line break and deliver bombers point blank with no chance for intercept, very nice

Closer to modern warfare than just plain battleships.

I think this is offset by a lot because it is a capable carrier. Besides, the primary batteries are decidedly unsuited to being fitted to turrets or any flexible mount anyway, so they will have to turn to fire regardless

My pleasure.

I don't think Rogue Traders have to face what the segmentum fleet has to face on a regular basis.

True and false both i think. True: - There are very little objectives (planets, dockyards) that the rouge trader would risk (and possibly loose) his/her ship for. - When the enemy is too strong, any and all normal thinking rouge trader should and will escape. - The RT usually do not engage in great fleet battles at all - especially when not payd for it. False: - Segmentae fleets are by deffinition deffensive flotillas, not venturing on purpose (not counting some short lived counterofensives) behind the imperium borders, let alone behind the light of the astronomican, or on the xenos controlled teritory. - Any and all "defensive" or "prototype" weapon systems the xenos have, the rouge traders are more probably to face, than the segmentum fleet. - Segmentum fleet fights in reach of their bases, repair facilities and supply lines. When facing bigger threat, there is still possibility to call for help, rally the fleet and let the "big boys" do the heavy poundering, if the target is too resilient. Fleet works as a team - what one type of ship can not doo, the other can - they supplement each others shortcomings and boosts each others strenghts. VERY LITTLE RT "fleets" does have this capability in terms of void combat. - Segmentum fleets consist mostly (and to fight goes almost only) navy vessels, build and ment for combat. RT fleet usually consists of mixed, mainly civilian, or repurposed civilian vessels, and some escorts for them. If the fleet consist of only ONE ship, it tends to be as badass navy vessel as the rouge trader was able to geth his/her hands on. - There may be planet (or a cluster at some point), wich the RT WOULD defend to the last ship and the last breth. If the planets are his/hers, and are technologicaly advanced enough to produce a ships and taxes in the future, it may be enough for the RT to face the same threts, the segmentum fleet does. Maybe bigger, because in one ship, or smaller fleet. Sure, the RT do not face the same type of opposition as segmentum fleet, but it does not mean the opposition is (especially behind the borders) less strong, and RT has MUCH less strenght (than segmentum fleet) to respond in force to that kind of strenght. But the Invincible class is apex predator of enemy escorts, raiders ships, corsairs, and other RTs. It can catch them (unlike other battleship hulls) and it can quite easily outgun them from afar, cripple them, board them and add them to its evergrowing fleet. If used right, in "hit and run" tactics, this ship could have much better use, than all other (comparably armed) battleship types. Because of its size and engine strenght, the Invincible could probably tow its prey (up to cruiser size), or accomodate a single detachable berth underneth, like the ethernal crusader does. We are speaking about possibility of building new ships behind "enemy line", or repairing and upgrading RTs own. Even setting a clandestine base there, to extend the supplycache lifeline (similary to the way, the logistics was done by old polar expeditions).

Your arguments are overwhelming and make sense :)

The Emperor thanks you for your service!

The Emperor Protects!

@@GrimDarkNarrator Yes He does

Probably a cruiser. Battleships are too ponderous and inflexible if you have to fight multiple faster enemies.

jeova0sanctus0unus probably doing a separate video to be able cover it better

is there that much lore about it? all the lore i found was. "Well its an Emperor whose Cannons are destroyed" and "It has a shit ton of Squadrons" and "its best used as part if a Grand Battlefleet as it does not have many Cannons"

I would think that the carriers would all be included in a "carrier class" video & maybe transports would be included to make the video full length as I havnt founnd much lore on either though they are very essential ships in any imperial fleet

I will hopefully include it in a video with all the other unmentioned battleships. Indeed, there is very little lore on it, though.
