Not sure what sort of source the Singaporean government’s website counts as? Primary do you think, it is a government historical agency after all?
That’s a good change…repulse definetly wasn’t 7.0 worthy
I have added several cruisers to the tree suggestions, including the two @Morvran posted here, as well as the Minotaur, Neptune and Tiger class’

So Oerlikon near conning tower doesn’t exist? I’m already satisfied with AA guns of this ship, but more is better.
fortunatly the octuple 40mm helps a fair bit more i think
I’m going to beat you with a news paper Morv (I’ll have you know we have TWO Aircraft Carriers :)))))
What I honestly don’t get is why Repulse. Don’t get me wrong, I’m gladd we finally got a Renown Class BC in the Tech Tree… but it’s definitively worse.
Why no QE? It’s clearly balanced enough to add as an event ship… why not TT?
Repulse is fine now that it’s at a lower BR, before we were all complaining about not having it.
Hopefully the next QE will be a TECH TREE HMS Warspite in it’s best refit

Out of QE, warspite and valiant. Valiant would the one I want in the tech tree iirc it was the one with best refit
yeah valiant has the best AA and warspite is the most well known i would say due to her actions in the med
After Repulse, im kinda hoping that our next ship will be something like KGV or Nelson. and then a WW2 refit
well we should have been getting our QE and R class for the past year or so i feel to correct this they should skip to the lion class to make up for it

and if they are realy nice they could give us a N3 but in a fictional WW2 retrofit with masses of AA
number of capital ships for each nation when ‘firebirds’ update implemented(tech tree only)
number of capital ships for each nation when ‘firebirds’ update implemented(tech tree + event + premium)
Actually, number of capital ships added for Great Britain is bigger than any nation ingame currently. But why we’re lack of 7.0 capital ships? Reason come from here.
- Great Britain has widest variety of BR among all nations.
Germany, France and USSR only has two BR.
Italy and USA has three BR, but one of them is only composed of one ship(6.3 for USA, 7.0 for Italy), so other BR is quite rich with lineup.
Japan is the only nation that has same variety of BR, four(5.7, 6.3, 6.7, 7.0) with Great Britain but it has only one ship in 6.3 and 6.7, making 7.0 super rich line-up.
Meanwhile, Great Britain has every four variety of BR composed of at least two ships. Two for 6.0, three for 6.3, four for 6.7 and three for 7.0)

Great Britain has to rely on event ship too much to compose 7.0 line up. And one is inadequate for 7.0
7.0 line-up is most important for current war thunder naval. And Great Britain has only one tech tree ship for 7.0, HMS Hood, which added in June 2022, makes it more than two year since added. To make 7.0 line-up, you need two event ship(HMS Barham, HMS Renown) to make lineup. And HMS Renown is not a 7.0 worthy ship. -
Real life Royal Navy is too big compared to other nations.
Gaijin usually add one nation new captial ship after every nation gets at least one new capital ship. So nation with appropriate number of capital ship has been got similar number of battleship. But Royal Navy is biggest among WW1 navy, and second biggest among WW2 navy. To keep up with other nations, Great Britain at least have to receive two capital ship between one cycle.

yeah i do find it weird that in most cases they put the BC one tier below due to it having one less in the main battery but i guess they are putting it higher due to the AA.
yeah it is a slightly bigger as i belive they have almost the same number of ships with 12" and bigger armed BB’s and BC’s at 49 left to add that were built fully that every nation apart from america has left that were also fully built
Well to be fair, adding a QE class BB wasn’t in the cards due to the proximity of the Barham naval event. Following the timeline of Mississippi → Tennessee, We can expect a TT QE class on the first update for 2025. GJNs going to milk that for a few months at the very least.
Its still possible a Revenge class comes, but with QE on the horizon, I viewed adding Repulse as just a hold over till then.
I have the impression that GJN wants to to decompress top end bluewater, but not all nations are lineup ready for it. Adding Repulse now, decompress and move Hood to 7.3… it will make better sense late next year.
As disappointing as that sounds.
