[Development] Pre-order: Jean Bart — The Last French Battleship

Am I misunderstanding this? Isn’t this a better reload at 2RPM? The other ships have 1.8RPM

Give me a menu option to use the old Naval Arcade aiming, and I will start to spend my money on War Thunder Naval again.

You guys ruined one of my favorite modes. You still refuse to have a conversation about it.

So, I will continue to refuse to play or pay for it.

As possible as Soyuz

Not only that, but it was only ever designed with two internal hardpoints. So even if it was wired or had a radar it’d be beyond useless in ARB.

The MiG 1.44 is even worse, as it straight up didn’t have a radome or any provisions/weapons bay like the Su-47 did.

The YF-23 also lacked a radome and cannot fit any radar. It had provisions for an IRST system that was never fitted.

So the TLDR is that unless standards for additions change and Gaijin starts going into fictional “what-if” territory, none of these planes can be added.

Soyuz was laid down

They were all detailed in full. Not just its weapons, but RWR , Countermeasures and Radar as well as avionics. The same is not true of the EAP. Which just had some dummy missiles and nothing else.

Its not even simply weapons. The Yak has very clear detailed plans of everything mentioned above. The EAP does not. As it was never intended to.

This has already been concluded many times. Please stay on topic.

Thanks for the clarification Grom!

I was gonna say…

Your making THE Jean Bart a premium? That would be like making the Tirpitz a premium, and im gonna make a wild guess that that’ll be in one of the following naval dev blogs.

Just a shame for those who will be grinding france and may not want to pay, im happy just being able to view them as it makes it a whole hell of alot easier to model.

Yeah, but some nations had actually sane designers who did not have stalin breathing down their necks. I would love to see the lion class as at the moment there is no point grinding top tier naval because good luck facing the soyuz. Even THE best fit for the lion class would still probably be worse than the in game soyuz just showing how ludicrous its fantasy stats are.

BTW, anyone have ANY idea what the hell they were planning on using to power the bloody thing?

that is, a French ship in a premium package while Italy hasn’t yet received one or an event for a high-era ship we are between ridicule, mockery and a drop of gaijin sadism towards Italy.👏👏👏

At least italy still has the best looking ships, the Roma is a work of art.

which among the battleships I believe is the worst

but is it 3 triple 380mm Type: 1
3 triple 406mm Alsace Type: 2
or with 3 quad 380’s Type: 3

Hope its TYPE 2 : the Iowa/Soyuz slayer

The 406 guns existed irl so data on ballistics are readily accessible.

French 406mm
Batterie Lindemann near Calais, France

Im sorry is that “79.99” for a ship?!?!

I must be having a stroke

They did that way back when adding the first rank 6 premiums because they’re “EnD of ThE LiNE” or whatever. Even though rank 6 premiums for air and ground are much less.

navals dead anyone might aswell milk it dry since you cant balance a mode properly USS IOWA and USS South Dakota both dominate the BRs there at and SOYUZ also dominates
1 Soyuz
2 iowa
3 dakota
4 north carolina

no other boat compares to these ships so why play 7.7s and 7.3s facing this is disgraceful balancing yamato and every 8.3 can barely stand against most other ships

Meaningless when they cannot give anything better than Jean Bart

Not even. France doesn’t have shipyard that is capable of building Alsace and has to expand existing shipyard before laying down keels.

At least USSR has size of docks that can fit Soyuz, thanks to Tsar who invest seriously on navy despite his nation itself is dying.
