Italy actually did a lot more than people think. They kept the Brits occupied in the Mediterranean for a while

I see quite a few Iron Dukes in matches, but very few Belfasts. In contrast, I see almost none of the higher tier French premiums because they are awful. I think if they offered a good product for either nation, people would buy them. Anecdotally, I would certainly buy them.

I think the Italian 6.3 lineup is one of the best in the game, and the Leonardo da Vinci is criminally under tiered. Just don’t tell the devs that.

The problem with France is that the two classes of dreadnought just aren’t that good. They should’ve at least made a Bretagne class the premium instead of the Courbet. Plus there’s still no Algerie or La Galissonniere, and Dunkerque is suffering from crippling artificial nerfs. Why play the tree or spend money on it when they won’t add new ships or f*cking fix the ones in the tree?
Least Japan gets some love. Although not as much as people think considering two ships are in laughably wrong tech tree positions (WITH NO CHANGE IN SIGHT) and one of those ships is basically a fantasy in the way its been implemented.

Well at least we’re getting La Galissonniere!
Hopefully with the coming updates over the next year the minor nations will be brought to parity with the big dogs.

Yeah, but after Dunkerque I want to know what Gaijin did to ruin La Galissoniere.

Are you talking about the transverse armor?
So we got Kirishima 1942. I’m of course glad that she’s modernized, but I’m also upset that we obviously won’t get Hiei 1942 with an exclusive superstructure.
Eh… Hiei… and her experimental superstructure

Japan is now getting literally every 14" capital ships they ever built except Hiei

But they still can’t get IJN Takao 1944 and IJN Maya 1944 ;(
And already 6 years have passed

Not that hard considering they only managed to build 8.
Gonna be even easier for Gaijin to add every single 16" and 18" capital ship ever built. (I’m not counting the rest of the 8-8 fleet because they were never finished (as battleships/cruisers))

Still don’t even have Tenryu either :(

Can we see IJN Ōyodo, Gaijin.
I just like how she looks.

I would honestly have preferred Strasbourg (Gaijin will probably nerf her anyway as well).
Gaijin tend to do something bizarre when introducing tech trees for navies.
They started with Yugumo before adding others like the the Fubuki, Hatsuharu, Shiratsuyu.
They introduced Furutaka then skipped straight into Mogami.
The craziest being UK battlecruiser line where they went from Invincible straight into Hood

Exactly, where’s my HMS Tiger.
The funniest thing is that they gave the R class to the Soviet Navy before Britain itself… It’s just… it can’t be described in words.

I still want Warspite.
And god forbid if they don’t put her in the tech tree.
They have one, it just isn’t the “right” one. Great ship and a lot of fun though. One of my favorites to play.
I’d rather we get the Hiei in TT, but to each their own I guess. IMO it’s just too iconic.
