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

Official News, Development Blogs and Updates

Sad thing is, while there are plenty of chance other Richelieu class has something better than Jean Bart, but Gaijin butchered those chances.

If Richelieu comes with 1950 version, it has same main gun reload as Jean Bart while having more balanced AA(we know Jean Bart lacks small caliber anti air gun)

If Clemenceau comes with hydroplane, she would be the only Rank VII French capital ship with hydroplane.

Now I just have to wish Gaijin first buff Italia and RN Roma’s reload before they comes out with Vittorio Venetto(1941)

Do you mean only bluewater? Given the Glaive?

318

Glaive is an event vehicle: [Event] Get Glaive in the Marine Gendarme Event! - News - War Thunder

319

Oh, then does this have the wrong title then?

Forgot it was an event and just read the title.

320

Thats the blog for the vehicle. The event itself is here: [Event] Get Glaive in the Marine Gendarme Event!

321

Yep, but other event vehicles dont have “development” in the title.

EFV
F-106
KV-8

North Carolina - Premium

Unpopular opinion, but either the USS Washington or NC herself should be a premium. I would prefer a late war NC in 1944/45 config for premium, but the Washington in 1942 config would likely be more palatable.

I know all 13 naval players are coming with their pitchforks, but idc. I only started playing because your changes to arcade (the ones they are still bitching about) made it possible for me to actually enjoy it like I used to enjoy WoWS back when it was a game, not an esport.

Thanks.

is there any plan on premium for italy on the plane side this update?
thanks for the answer

324

the US already has a Rank VI Premium though, the only naval nations that don’t are Italy and France. And we’re on the discussion forum for the announcement of France’s rank VI premium.

They don’t need another one that’s just flatout Better. Maybe as a squadron or event vehicle, I guess, but the main deficit I can see in the US tree is it doesn’t get a second Iowa-class like how Japan and Italy and France all get two of their Top Tiers (then again, maybe the Iowa really is just so good it wouldn’t be balanced to have two)

325

But they will, as Iowa class is too famous, and there are not much battleship left for Gaijin, and later Iowa class and earlier Iowa class has little difference in armor

326

Yeah, but at least Iowa is playable unlike the Yamato and Musashi, would you rather 1 decent ship or 2 dog water floating bombs?

I mean i get the whole crew thing, but isn’t soyuz one of the battleships with the least crew at top tier with around ~1650 ?
It doesn’t exactly make it a bad top tier ship (understatement of the year, i know)

Point is if Jean Bart has less crew but better reload and better secondaries, i don’t know if calling it worse than Richelieu or Clemenceau (which also happens to have less crew) is justified

If it is 1200-ish following Suez Crisis, then it would be problem
