Blueprint ships for all?

Probably not smart to make a comparison between a fast attack craft & a corvette, let alone now the Germans also finally get their version of that corvette. (Although funny comparison as both are export vessels as the soviet corvette was built in Germany to a modified soviet design while the boat British as an export model of the Brave class).

Still you’re being slightly disingenuous for both, the Brave class has 40 mm/70 autocannons that fire at a higher RoF than L/60, it also is fast & has a boat spawn, the corvette on the other hand is slow often taking 3-5 minutes to get into cqc from a destroyer spawn, the aft 76 mm also only has 152 shells with an 82 round ready rack & can often depleted all ammunition quickly.

You would probably be better off comparing the Brave to a Project 206, but even than the Germans also get one at 4.3 as well, an you could compare both Project 133.1 corvettes although armament is just pros & cons to both designs (niche, their IRL designations contradict in game designations, they’re corvette’s or MPK’s yet are laballed frigates, which only SKR’s are frigates).

E, wording error, curse this poxy new mobile for formatting.

No, blueprint ships are not going to be added to War Thunder.
There are no blueprint ships in War Thunder at this time.

Soviets don’t have blueprint ships.

Everyone has blueprint ships.

There just isn’t any in Warthunder. Yet.

IE Ansaldo UP41, Tillmans, etc

The context of that post was in-game.

Ohh for chaos sake, not another one of these clearly not researched posts, current list of never finished ships as of January 2026:

(Disclaimer, I use the IRL designations over the in game streamlined classifications)

Germany:

• Z15, Type 1934A Zerstörer, AA refit

• Z46, Type 1936C Zerstörer

• Z46, Type 1936C Zerstörer

• Z51, Type 1942 Zerstörer

• VS-10, Hydrofoil

• SMS Mackensen, Mackensen class Battlecuiser

• SMS Ersatz Yorck, Ersatz Yorck class Battlecruiser

• SMS Sachsen, Bayern class Battleship

• Gneisenau, Scharnhorst class Battleship, main gun refit

Welp that soils the argument of why the soviets apparently have the most that people love to bitch constantly even though incorrect.

Imperial Russia/ Soviet Union:

• Erevan, Project 48 destroyer

• Shcherbakov, Project 68BIS-ZIF light cruiser

• Kronshtadt, Project 69 Heavy Cruiser

• Sevastopol, Project 69-I Heavy Cruiser

• Izmail, Borodino class Battlecruiser

• Stalingrad, Project 82 Heavy Cruiser

• Sovetsky Soyuz, Project 23 Battleship

Italy:

• Commandante Margottini, Commandante Medaglie d’Oro class Destroyer, the very first of the never finished ships

• Etna, Etna class cruiser, Originally ordered as HTMS Taksin, Taksin class cruiser

• Francesco Caracciolo, Francesco Caracciolo Battleship

• Conte di Cavour, Conte di Cavour class Battleship, AA refit.

Japan:

• Amagi, Amagi class Battlecruiser

• Tosa, Tosa class Battleship

Technically speaking the only true fake vessel since the devs screwed up the model: Type 5

France:

• Clemenceau, Richelieu class Battleship

In this list there’s nine vessels from other nations that in gane are considered Battleship & Battlecuisers, so that soils your argument OP of why other nations don’t have X amount of vessels.

As for why the yanks or hell the poms haven’t gotten anything yet can be placed on the facts they’re the most proofed trees currently an will only start to see not finished vessels when they start to run out of designs.

kinda doubt that, the US has almost all of its capital ships represented (at least once), so a Lexington or South Dakota (the never built ones) wouldn’t be too far fetched at this point.
And (in my limited knowledge of the design) a Lion is basically as close as to a (genuine) top tier vessel the British tree could expect
I’d greatly prefer it if they did really finish off the list of real vessels first but I doubt many players are that interested in half a dozen pre-WW1 battleships/battlecruisers before they get around to one of the Lions

Well, I only meant of the past, with the trees closing in on the the last designs, we may very well start to see these non built designs, I personally can’t wait for the South Dakota class (1920), along with the As designed Lexington class.

For Britain the Loin class & hell an as design Furious will eventually come soonish.

my expectations are low but I’ll love her regardless
probably the only exception to my ‘must be finished’ rule

Since when 2S38 is fake ?

Its still in development and just lord knows when it will be finished + adopted.

Vehicle doesn’t need to be in service to be added in the game.

HMS Furious with 45.7cm single turrets

Tell me you hate Britain without saying you hate Britain.

(This is a joke)

I know what your mean and its not entirely wrong for dead end projects. But in this case: What’s the point of introducing an early tech demonstrator, which is just undergoing testing and evaluation for the years to come. Who knows how the real vehicle looks like at the end.

2S38 isn’t an early tech demo.
After all, we already have vehicles that are basically prototypes or demos, like CR3 TD.

jokes aside, it’s exactly what an event vehicle should be IMO
-interesting and unique enough to be desirable
-not (overly) competitive enough to be a must have
-wouldn’t really fit in the normal tech tree/doesn’t leave an unfillable gap
last one is debatable in Furious’ case (foldering under Glorious is an option), but 2/3 aint bad

Since we’re on the topic of weird gimmick ships, it’d be neat to see some Monitors in warthunder. Like the german Wespe class or even HMS Terror or Erebus.

Or Novgorods

More of an Abercrombie man myself (they just look more shiplike than earlier ones), but I’d grind Terror just for the name

gonna be a mess to place in a TT/balance though given their bizarre firepower/protection/speed characteristics but I guess we’ve passed the point of reason a long time ago

Spoiler

but on the subject of coastal bombardment (and we’re getting wildly off topic here), I would give whats left of my liver to see the Dutch gunboats in WT

Iirc a suggestion moderator said the A-150 was allowed (at the very least suggested) as one of the guns were complete and weren’t to be used on any other IJN ships, constituting it as a unique vehicle part. Much late the Ersatz Monarch class ship suggestion was posted as that also had completed guns that weren’t used by the navy in other projects.

The reason I type “as design” in this case it would be both cannons over a single one & flight deck.

Still two is better than one & the long reload would probably result in it being the sane BR as the halfsister.

Still not the worse design I ever uttered… CASTORE CLASS FLATIRON GUNBOAT WHEN??? I’M A NADMAN FOR WANTING A SLOW YET DAFTLY ARMED VESSEL, 10KTS, 660T & A 16" KRUPP CANNON WAHAHAHAHAHAHA…

we could settle for Drudge in the meantime

hms drudge 9.2in
