Either the official description is wrong or the Renown doesn't have 20 dual-purpose guns - if it does have that many dual-purpose guns, the Renown is in fact an able antiaircraft platform. It would be capable of engaging enemy bombers at high altitude as well. It appears to be lacking in the machine gun role, however, so it can be easily torpedoed as any ordinary battleship would. However despite the description saying its AA suite is light, don't get complacent - the Renown-class has a better AA suite than the description makes out, capable of seriously hurting torpedo bombers, though it is advisable to keep fighters around as swarms of bombers will overwhelm them. | Either the official description is wrong or the Renown doesn't have 20 dual-purpose guns - if it does have that many dual-purpose guns, the Renown is in fact an able antiaircraft platform.

Interestingly, the Renown is one of the fastest battleships in the game - it goes 25 knots, five knots faster than most other battleships, including the New York, Prince of Wales, and Fuso classes | Interestingly, the Renown is one of the fastest battleships in the game - it goes 25 knots, five knots faster than most other battleships, including the New York, Prince of Wales, and Fuso classes. However, other battleships can also match this speed - Kongo, as well as the largest battleships in the game - Iowa and Yamato. | ||
Unfortunately, the Renown class is the weakest battleship in the game - it is tied with the Yamato and Iowa for having the fewest turrets on a battleship (three) and doesn't pack the Yamato's overall attacking power. Although it is weak, it is not by any means a sitting target - especially against smaller ships. | Unfortunately, the Renown class is the weakest battleship in the game - it is tied with the Yamato and Iowa for having the fewest turrets on a battleship (three) and doesn't pack the Yamato's overall attacking power.
