Yeah, at the current rate of adding ships they still have like 30 years before they’ll reach modern ones, why stop now.
The other way to interrupt it is that they want to stop adding stuff WW2 and then start work on Cold War ERA instead.
Which would be both fun and a shame if they never add additions like HMS Nelson or HMS King George V to name but 2 I can think of off the top of my head
when M151 though… (not the tank)
Here some things we should expect…
Fix the matchmaker
Fix the map rotations
Get rid of the TINY MAPS
Give nations proper br lineups
Give nations proper equipment to deal with threats you prematurely put into the game… Israel is still using a 9.3 spaa ffs 🤦♂️
Not that it changes much but it’s 9.7 (It’s trash either way).
BVVD exact quote was, 2025 will see “the logical completion of Bluewater fleet trees by adding the most famous and powerful battleships.” Doesn’t say they won’t fill in gaps later.
“Superior, iconic, big, vast(?) and yottabyte(?)” in the no.6 update is either some kind of terrible translation or a strong hint on something. Or possibly both: the Russian on that was “суперские, абсолютные, большие, верные и яркие” (tr: “super, absolute, big, faithful and bright”). с-а-б-в-я doesn’t really spell anything I can think of as an anagram though. That would tend to at least rule out the “I” being “Iowa” though, as “абсолютные” very definitely starts with an “a.” And there’s no way you get to “vast and yottabyte” from “верные и яркие”, or vice versa, unless you’re just looking for words that start with the same letter. So seems very likely there’s a V(в) and a Y(я) in whatever the answer to this one turns out to be.

A - Aйова
Б - Бисмарк
С - Советский Союз или Севастополь

7.0s gonna be a doozy
That’s interesting, but in a previous CM blog, BVVD answered to this when asked about new countries in naval:
Q: Are there any plans to implement naval for China, Sweden and Israel in 2025?
A: No, in 2025 we plan to focus on the logical completion of Bluewater fleet trees by adding the most famous and powerful battleships. In parallel, we’ll work on the implementation of other types of ships and weapons that are not yet presented in War Thunder.
It’s gonna be Submarines or Anti Ship Missiles or both. But i bet that gonna be in next year summer or at the new year holidays. Both likely be in costal tree first, we already have some boats with ASM they just not implemented on them yet.
In the same interview, he says no to anti-ship missiles in 2025.
However, he’s enigmatic when asked about submarines, which makes me think it will be for the oct/nov update.
ASM can’t change the balance if they start with those boats that we already have, they still be cannon fodder for big ships and can’t hurt them much, and other small ships still outshoot them in seconds while rocket fly.
I don’t count the chap, it’s a 9.0 in the US tree, machbet is far better. They could at least give it the smokeless motor and uncaged seeker that it’s supposed to have.
@Bruce_R1 It’s ‘logical’ completion not ‘total’ completion. So I don’t think battleship line will be closed off in 2025. Just only some Iconic ships like Iowa and Yamato at last update of 2025 and Gaijin saids ‘Congratulation! We make last battleships in game!’ but still, in 2026, while they are no more ‘main’ contents of naval update, they will be still included.
I don’t think H class or Lion class to be added in this game, and there are plenty of famous ships on USA and GB to be added. Not all those ships can be added on this year, so we would still get them on 2026 and later on.
Yes, but note OP (in both languages) specifically says “SIBVY” is coming in “the next (major) update” (в следующем обновлении), not just “in 2025.” It seems implausible that you’d burn whatever sell power you have by putting out Yamato and Bismarck and Iowa all next month, but that is what they said they’d do, apparently.
Well I’ll not put much on those words when there are already four iconic capital ship, which is one of largest after New Power.
Btw, since you’re a naval player what would you think of a rework that would make naval more like others trees with lines for types and ranks for advancement rather than size?
Cuz that’s basically what would make me consider playing naval lol
Have to though a little bit as size is quite important in survivability these days…
and same BR of destroyers and battleships needs lots of convenient arcade advantage to destroyers to fight against battleship
Yeah obviously, haven’t played naval but I can only assume the current balance is very different from what it’d be with a chronological tree, this would need a big balance rework to work… But I think they’ll have to do something like that if they ever want to add modern ships (which they’ll have to do at some point if they won’t want naval to die completely)
