General Japanese Naval Forces Discussion HQ

With Musashi and Nagato added this patch, what’s left for Imperial Japan? Shinano with 51cms? (Unlikely, since iirc Gaijin said something that she wouldn’t appear in battleship config somewhere) alternatively, Unnamed Yamato sister 4 (laid down but never completed)

As for other battleships, maybe Tosa? (I don’t remember if any were actually laid down or if they only existed as schematics)

Akagi and Kaga in battleship configuration maybe?

Tosa will be end of Japanese battleship, then maybe heading to heavy cruisers we miss or Siamese/Indonesian vessels.
Don’t think Kaga and Akagi will come as capital ship configuration as there are Tosa and Amagi.

My personal wish is remodel Mutsu into 1942 version as there are no equivalent backup to Nagato, but it’s hard wish.

I’ll admit to not knowing much about the IJN and her battleships, but shouldnt there be some armor here?

Currently Gaijin is very inconsistent about implementation of High Tensile Steel, some ships applied it as RHA(which is wrong), some ships applied it as structual steel(which is also wrong).

Mutsu is earlier case, Nagato is later case. So currently both ships are wrong actually.

There should, but iirc it’s a type of armor Gaijin don’t add, instead replacing it with structural steel which isn’t shown in the armor view.

Tosa, 4th Yamato class battleship, any ships of the Takao and Tenryu classes. That’s it as far as “heavy” ships go unless they start going backwards into pre-dreadnoughts.
Tragically Shinano, Kaga, and Akagi are going to be saved for their failed abortion of carrier implementation.

Maybe we can see Kii? They never laid the keel but other components were made for the ships, hard sell so I doubt we’d see those. B-65 is in a worse position than that with the project abandoned after design work had been finished.

not like they’d be any less realistic or believable than sovetsky soyuz

Did they not fix the flight deck of the Musashi?

By the way, we also have the A-150, with 510mm main guns :)


By the way, Tosa is more likely to appear in the game, as the model already exists in the mobile game.

Maybe. Guns were made but we don’t even know if the plans were finalized and the keel sure wasn’t laid down.
If we were to get a ship with 510mm guns I figure they’d just put them onto a copy-paste Yamato and call it a day. Not like A-150 would be much better than that considering she’s just Yamato but… well as far as we know she’d just be Yamato with bigger guns and possibly slightly thicker armor.

I really should look into the mobile version just to see what’s actually in it that isn’t in pc/console.

Any opinions the new coastal addition Kari?

The models between mobile and main game are not comparable

Well what’s the verdict? Is Nagato really the best BB in the tree? Is naval even worth coming back to? (haven’t played since pre-leviathans)
Trying to decide between Nagato and that stupid d*tch Leopard for what’ll likely be my last War Thunder purchase ever.

What are the reasons for such conclusions?

Biggest problem is that server is extremely unstable, you can experience SA server ping/packet loss problem in NA/EU server

That doesn’t sound very good. I guess I’ll have to give it a try and see if I can even play it at all.
