Glad I’m not the only Oyodo enjoyer. Probably my second-favorite cruiser after Tone

I mean as long as I get Kaga as a BB, I’m okay with Tosa being an event vehicle

*as a CVM
Kaga is best seen as an Aircraft Carrier. Furthermore, in the mobile game files, she has long been found as an Aircraft Carrier.
I’m still waiting for the RaiDen twins. (Inazuma and Ikazuchi).
How would carriers even work in this game?
I also want Shinano as a BB
I imagine it like it used to be in BS:P
In short;
Ship controllable, both directly (like any other player ship) and also via assigning a route on a map.
Can use secondary and AA guns.
Can launch flights of planes (4 or 6 per flight I imagine. Multiple flights at the same time possible).
Can assign a target via map/menu, or fly the lead plane directly, and the flight follows, kinda like how Enlisted squad mates work.
Can assign areas for CAP fighters, or directly control the flight lead, and once again, this flight follows.
This could make planes in Naval also more viable again, because there will be more targets for the AA to shoot at, instead of every enemy ship peppering one single plane.
But this is just my (basic) idea.

We got the Oyodo but still no Takao class ;-;
Takao can suck it, I’m happy
Jk
Yes, now we just have to wait for IJN Takao (1944) and IJN Maya (1944)
The only heavy cruisers we’ve been waiting for for many years

Instead of Shinano BB, we can have Japan No.111 (4th battleship Yamato), and Shinano itself in the form of an Aircraft Carrier

Why not Shinano and Yamato 4 with 51cms?
Problem is, Gaijin wouldn’t do that: someone pointed out we won’t see Akagi or Kaga as BBs so Shinano likely won’t either.
For this purpose, we already have the A-150 project.
There is no need to even provide 510mm guns for Shinano or No.111

A150s (to my knowledge) were never laid down.
This would be an interesting compromise as a result.
In the snail’s rules. A ship doesn’t necessarily need to be laid down. The main thing is that something has been built for the ship, and for the A-150, turrets and guns have been built.

Actually that’s forum’s discussion rule. In-game we does not have yet pure paperplan.
While the biggest question would be A-150 useful than Yamato(imo NO), there are no guarantee that those ship could come in game)

That’s only if we get carriers in WT. If we do, I’d prefer to see both options
I know a prototype 51cm was built by the IJN but I haven’t heard of a fully constructed twin turret (I should do some digging to see if there’s any surviving pictures of it).
Since the A140s (Yamatos) were constructed with the possibility of being upgunned, it’s simply an option.
Out of curiosity, does Musashi suffer the same issues Yamato currently does in Warthunder?
Seems like you’re getting your wish.
Now we’re never getting a tech tree Tosa class. yay :/
Gaijin’s decisions for Japanese battleships has been quite awful these past few updates.
Nagato being locked behind a $70 paywall, Kirishima being in the 1942 fit instead of Hiei, meaning no prototype Yamato tower, Tosa being an event meaning that if Kaga comes as a carrier, the tech tree won’t have an equivalent, Amagi getting the preliminary superstructure instead of the correct final one, Amagi and Mutsu being in the wrong lines for some reason, so many things about Yamato, from the very buggy initial implementation to not getting the Leyte gulf paint with the dark deck.
It’s really a shame…
