friends and i looked at it and it’s just a model of renown rn. so unless they’re just using it as placeholder for repulse i don’t understand what they’re trying to do since renown already exists

I pray that It is not a stand in for repulse as it is a 6.7 or lower ship
There is that less then 1% chance the Trailer is alluding to Prince of Wales…
Excessive Hopium aside, Tomorrow is Dev stream/Server so the wait wont be for too much longer.

oh well I am expecting 1-2 new ships aside of the leaked stuff from tomorrows stream. Rest of navy stuff usually is still in the files on the first day so we might need to wait for dataminers to dig in.
Yubetsu/Dunkerque and a rossian boatie are pretty nice already, I hope(and cope) for some french top tier coastal and at least 1-2 new battleships/cruisers that won’t be american:)

No it’s just HMS Renown. Trailer seems to show new mechanism, not new ship.
Imo that new mechanism is ai squadron(like what we can use in historical missions) for aircraft, or at least for torpedo bomber, as there were plenty of B7A2s and even when HMS Renown shoot down one of it, rest of them still flights together.

2 Ships to suggest adding to the list
HMCS Ontario - a HMS Liverpool equivalent but with heavier AA. Around 5.7
HMS Fiji - HMS Southampton equivalent, but with heavier AA. Id guess around 5.7 as well
Well we will have to see in around 3-4 hours if smin lied about Britain getting a boat
I’ll get em added to the list (along with all of the cracked 6" cruisers like Tiger, Minotaur, Neptune etc).
It is jover they are adding repulse
We will see if they add her in a fake configuration shortly. Also…
A Renown-Class Battlecruiser is our rank VI?!?!?!
That’s some messed up humour Gaijin.
They skipped it but I think they showed it for half a frame
They skipped over Repulse.
Not sure on the configuration, Magazine hinted that something was different.
So the possibilities are: Repulse is added in her historical config, Repulse is added as a refit that never happened as a copy of Renown.
Also that is our Rank VI at 7.0. That’s disheartening as she is really a 6.7 ship.

Mike showed it for a second before the tornado
I’ll go back in the stream in a second the and see if i can get the config.
Looks like 1940-41 config, so not 7.0 worthy and worse than Kongo in literally every way other than the guns are 1 inch bigger (and like twice as inaccurate).
Nice to have her as historically she was significant but she wasn’t what was needed.

At least first RN capital ship with catapult and hydroplane.
Besides, in this video, uploader saids that captains of HMS Renown and HMS Repulse train their crew hard to make reload time faster than 30 seconds to compensate lacks of number of guns. Can we find reliable source for it?
Just… why is it 7.0? Worse than Hood, Kongo, worse than Dunkerque, Scharnhorst.
The closest I can think of is Kongo and she has an extra turret, more accurate guns and unlike Renown, Repulse does not have the advantage of better AA.

I will have a look and ask him in his discord
who knows tbh, it would work at 6.7 just fine but well, why not put it at the same BR as better sistership and better class.
Repulse 6.7
Renown 7.0
Hood 7.3
would be nice
