Besides, speaking of WW2 frigate, how about HMS ‘Black’ Swan as premium and adding it into Black Friday bundle?
We currently don’t have ship in those bundle.

I would prefer a TT version first, but if we get that I wouldn’t mind something along those lines.
Although the Black Swans are sloops and so are pretty much small destroyers without the torpedoes. So they might end up in the Bluewater tree rather than Costal. Either way I would be happy to see them.
Totally not a self promotion, but I have a suggestion for her too. Black Swan-class sloop, HMS Black Swan (U-57) (1943)
We have a case of Destroyer Escorts in USA, Syonan in Japan, Albatross/Alcione in Italy which are the ships that doesn’t have torp. Usually sloop is coastal so I think Black Swan would be coastal.
I was more thinking along RN labeling ideas, as they thought of Sloops as destroyers without torps, and as such their had very similar armament and displacement to small destroyers, so it may not be a good idea to place them into the Coastal tree.
The HMS Calpe for example in the Bluewater tree, displaces less (1,050t vs 1,250t), and has the same amount of guns compared to the Black Swan, but is admittedly faster.
I wanna see some Bangor class minesweepers, preferably at least one of each propulsion type
That makes sense, and I discovered that K2 sloop is on bluewater tree.
I need more Town class cruisers,i just like how they look. Together with their subclasses like Fiji class and Minotaur class HMS Swiftsure.

Still, one of the strangest decisions Gaijin’s made, really, is an odd ship to have where it is. Realistically, stuff like Sloops or DEs should definitely be coastal, and I think it would be of great benefit to move things like K2 and the Hunts over and replace them with more Bluewater-oriented ships.

From what I heard a long time ago (Feel free to correct me), the K2 used to get coastal spawns. This was well before I started playing though.
The K2 also used to be my favorite 4.3 ship pre Leviathans update; very funny ship back then.
That is correct. Some in game systems still treat it as a coastal vessel too. Such as AI gunners shooting at it with smaller AA guns, like they do against frigates in the coastal tree.
Aye she was a mennace to face with said spawn
We’re also really waiting on a guided missile platform. Bravy has been in for what seems like forever, Charles F Adams is in game now… where’s the County DDGs?

Prince of Wales has been confirmed with the new Trailer. Seems to be her fit upon her sinking, but I’m no expert on that.
I dont think there are many differences between the 1941 fit of Prince of Wales and the later KGVs?
The 1941 fits of KGV herself have the funny but utterly useless and unmodelled unrotated projectile launchers on B and Y turret, while PofW has the octuple Pompom instead.
on a mildly related note, my union jacks/white ensigns bug report on stat cards got accepted
guess we’re gonna find out if they A) do anything with it, and B) what they’re gonna do with it

Prince of Wales AP performance. Lets just say that that her usefulness is gonna depend entirely on her survivability.
Already found a bug for PoW.
1x AA gun is included in the secondary weapons (the 40mm Bofor on the stern)

no more White Ensigns
7.7 is an odd place with shells that have that low penetration. I genuinely hope that’s placeholder number.
I was expecting it to be 8.0. or 8.3 with Britain Tax
