Fair, I did forget Ismail but on another note, Lexington was laid down as a battlecruiser but was changed to and launched as a carrier.
Also, this is not the only area fake vehicles were placed. Russia also has fake ground and air vehicles like the 2S38 and the Yak-141.
It would be fair to give the other nations as many Blueprint ships as what Russia has. It stays balanced this way.
and the Normandies*
“Selective Realism” besides Gaijin’s gotta improve the reputation of Russia’s navy somehow.
I was not aware that they were laid down. Glad to see there’s at least some potential future battleship addition for France, even if it’s not at top tier.
they could have added Jean Bart (which was built) instead of Clemenceau (which wasn’t) but here we are
Jean Bart was rumored to be the French premium in datamines, along with Vittorio Veneto for Italy. Gaijin didn’t add the ships at the last minute, but I don’t know if that’s because they had a change of heart or the ships weren’t ready.
Because the USSR did not have a good navy and require paper ships to get anything at all. The fact those paper ships are far stronger than real ships is just a bonus to Gaijin because it means they can always win every match and it fits with the Soviet propaganda that Gaijin likes
Giajin makes trailer on the super cool Yamato and Bismark to invite people to grind and play naval.
Soyuz slides in and dominates.
Players:
Fixed it :)
So like Navyfield. H39/41, Montana, Super Yamato, etc, etc
The 2s38 isnt really fake, sure it shouldnt have proxy fuze he but time fuze, but that doesnt make it a fake vehicle, it does exist.
As for the Yak, they have used the same criteria for other vehicles after it, and they have added vehicles more “fake” than it as well.
Its not just the ships. Its also russian boats. They’re so incredibly strong at redicoulusly low BRs. While you’re in a small boat with two quickly overheating Bofors, they spawn next to you in a frigate like 10x as powerful. Both at 4.3 BR.
Its so out of balance that Naval is finally dominated by AI ships. Boat gameplay as well as blue water is deserted.
Even if Gaijin adds paper ships to other nations like the soyuz, Naval’s still gonna be dead.
Because it wasn’t laid down.
If you did even 5 minutes of google searching, let alone look up the criteria for a ship to exist in warthunder, you wouldn’t even be asking this.
Soyuz: laid down
Mackensen: laid down
Ersatz Yorck: laid down
Tosa: laid down
Amagi: more or less completed but irreparably damaged during a 1920s earth quake
Gneisenau: completed but the 38cms were only ever a proposal stopped during design phase.
Which?
All the DDs explode when breathed on, their 13cm guns hit ridiculously hard though.
Krym is only annoying because it likes to devour SAP but gets imploded by AP.
Kavkaz straight up dies. As does Kirov.
Pr68s can be somewhat consistently ammo exploded by as little as 13.3cm SAP. How I don’t know.
These are all ships from countries which proved they’re able to construct these things. They’re usually just ships of already existing classes or slight upgrades. So, no outliers like Soyuz, Kronstadt and all the others. With Soyuz couldn’t have been finished by soviet industrie, lacked the capabilities, other soviet bp ships have German turrets (seriously, how realistic)^^. Crazy additions for the soviets.
Finally, most of the other blueprints were in late stages of production. Like the Sachsen. Just minor parts of the superstructure missing and they were still working on the turrets. Similar pics for Mackensen etc. These ships were all launched and almost finished, while the russian bp’s were just some bolted metal sekeletons inside a dock, at 5% completion or something.
Like this? Add in 168/kmh high speed torpedos and radar for the rus, while the left one has just ww2 style stuff. Also damage model lol. There’s currently not a single part of WT, which won’t look like this. Rus is like on top of everything.
Russia put in an order from Krupp for 6 38cm SKC twin turrets between 1938 and 1940 (I don’t remember the exact date.) So very realistic.
It should be mentioned that H39 was also laid down and will be seen soon™. A150 was even accepted just the other day.
So cold war era coastal boats vs WW2 coastal.
Curious how nobody bitches about the SF40 heavy/light.
This is factually incorrect.
I have posted pictures of how much work was done of Soyuz in another thread. Her guns were built and used in defense of Leningrad. Various other components were built and used as well (AA and secondary guns).
Kronshtadt was stated to be about 33 to 34% completed.
only 66% left ))
Why are you going to finish building capital ships when fighting an enemy that’s pissing out u-boats and you’re fighting a ground war?
why did they bother designing them in the first place?
