Talk:O-class battlecruiser

message: Does Garzke & Dulin specifically say 3 years? 'Cause Groner's says 3.5 years for the estimated build time. I generally trust what Groner's says (since he used official blueprints and other original documents for his work). Parsecboy (talk) 18:02, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The book does say three years, but please change that; it was most likely rounded off. Or we could put 3ref to G&D–3.5ref to Groner years... —Ed (Talk • Contribs) 21:05, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Since they were only estimates, it'd probably be better to include both. Parsecboy (talk) 21:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Build time 

message: Does Garzke & Dulin have any schematics for the ship? Groner's has one that gives a side and top-down view that I could scan in, but it's not my favorite :/ I can scan it in if you want me to though. Parsecboy (talk) 12:38, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a few, but I have no access to a scanner when I am at home; the local library does not have one. —Ed (Talk • Contribs) 16:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Having said that, there is also a stern-on painting by Richard Allison of the ships on p. 350 of A&N BB of WWII (caption here, no preview for the painting though), and upon further reflection, I think that I may be able to get to a scanner if I have too... —Ed (Talk • Contribs) 16:47, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds promising :) As I recall, the problem you had with that painting of the 1047s was that you couldn't provide the copyright holder, which won't be a problem here. Now just find a scanner! Parsecboy (talk) 22:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Image 

message: The painting looks wrong; it looks like the ship has two main turrets aft. We can’t see the bow of the ship. I am wondering if this is actually a view of what the H Class battleship would have looked like, the number of aft turrets and the two smokestacks make it seem so. The O class was, according to the text, supposed to have only one aft main battery turret. Or am I to assume that the superimposed turret in the painting is actually a pair of 15cm secondary guns?

replies: text: One pair of 15cm guns was placed a superfiring turret over the rear main battery, see the paragraph on the secondary battery. Parsecboy (talk) 01:03, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question about the painting 

message: The renderings used for this ship are very clear screenshots from World of Warships, and the ship features a fictional modernization (nonexistent 128 and 55mm guns). Is this acceptable?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seaparrot876 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not - I'll remove them. I wondered about them when they were added, but I don't play the game and didn't have solid evidence that they're from it. Parsecboy (talk) 20:11, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Just checked to confirm this myself. They're images of the World of Warships vessel Siegfried with the paint stripped off. WarGaming has a huge habit of bastardizing historical vessels so it's best to remove them. 124.170.164.48 (talk) 07:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a WoW wiki with images from the game, and compared the two versions that have been uploaded here with this one, for instance. It's very clear that they're the same models. Rust spots are in the same places, for instance. Parsecboy (talk) 19:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Is :File:O Class Battlecruiser Germany 1941 3.png not also a copyvio? (And unfortunately that's been uploaded by the same person who did the rendering at the top of the article.) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 22:24, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
