The British battlecruiser wields 381 mm guns, has perfect mobility and a lethal AA arsenal. Meet one of the best damage dealers in the British lineup!
HMS Renown, battlecruiser, Britain, rank V. Event vehicle.
Features:
- 381mm main guns
- High speed
- Multiple AA guns
HMS Renown was the lead ship in a series of two Royal Navy battlecruisers armed with 381 mm main guns built at the end of the First World War, during which both ships saw limited use. HMS Renown took an active part in the events of the Second World War: the ship was on missions in the North Sea, and for a long time was engaged in escorting Maltese convoys, provided long-range cover for the Arctic convoys to the USSR and participated in the Allied landings in Africa. While serving in the Indian Ocean, she became the flagship of the Eastern Fleet and took part in attacks on Japanese bases in the Philippines, and at the very end of the war even became the flagship of the home fleet. The cruiser was decommissioned in 1946, and soon after scrapped in 1948.
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.
In War Thunder, HMS Renown is presented in the most complete upgrade made in 1944, which means that the outdated auxiliary 102mm guns are replaced by ten twin universal mounts with 114 mm guns. 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 powerful arsenal, more than 1400 crew members, as well as torpedoes in stationary torpedo tubes, speeds of more than 30 knots (~ 55 km/h), sounds excellent, doesn't it?
The ship is modelled for War Thunder in her latest upgrade, with a 229 mm armoured belt, as well as a 102mm armoured deck. The most vulnerable areas of the ship are its main turrets with barbettes, capable of surviving no more than cruiser fire.

Wait gaijin, why HMS Renown is certainly in status after 1939 by looking its model but you said it has 152mm armor belt? It's not historical at all! HMS Renown after modification in 1939 should have 229mm belt, not 152! PLZ CHECK AND FIX IT!
it says she has a 152mm belt but in 1922 she had a refit which replaced the 6inch belt armour with a 9inch belt, yall might need to look at that
Whoa, very interesting! Depending on its BR, I may be interested enough to grind for this ship hehe.
hehe
Very nice. Any chance we will start seeing Carriers and some WW2 battleships?
Britannia shall rule the waves once again.
wished it was the HMS Warspite but this is also cool.
