Personally I don’t really mind the prefixes. I think they look nice. It might be just because in most media I’ve seen (books, videos, etc.) the ships do have IJN in front of it, same with KMS.
Plus, it adds distinction between the Imperial Navy and the Self-Defense Navy, as just by the names (no prefixes) it would be hard to tell what goes where. I kind of think they should add KMS back just for continuity. Yes both the KMS and IJN prefix are technically not official but I think they are widely used enough for people to understand and recognize them.
And, given that most of the nations in the game have ship prefixes, I also sort of think they should have prefixes for the other ones (France, Russia/USSR) as well, for consistency, only if they are widely used/understood though.
…Where’s South Dakota 1920s class for USA? Even Colorado would be welcome at this point, as long as it has 16" guns with a decent reload…
Worth also noting that two out of the three “top tier” (as by the end of the next event) ships will be time locked because… event ships! Bravo Gaijin!
French mains whining when they other people get a decent vehicle
I’m not even a French main lmao, I’m a Brit main. Just seems fairly obvious that France having precisely zero 7.0s and Japan getting another one… seems daft.
Japan at this point already has most of their competitive capitals ingame. But if this trend contiues, the response to the Colorado and Nelson being added is to give Japan the damn Yamato.
Seriously, these BB additions needs be planned out more. I dont know whats going on to have the Japans bluewater be the golden boy.
they won’t have a decent reload. they had a rate of fire of like 1.5 rounds per minute… so upwards of 40 seconds or so
Tbf, in terms of SoDak 1920 they could probably fudge it a bit due to never being finished.
he’s kinda right tho, the state of french battleships is beyond shambles if you think about it
[french battleship name] when they are flung to fight scharnhorsts and kronshtadts (they die instantly) (dunkerque/strasbourg when)
So you’re okay with France getting the Rafale, but the British and US have to wait for years before getting the Typhoon and F/A-18?
And on another note, which nation consistently gets its vehicles nerfed (BR) because of other players whining? Obviously, it’s the small French community that Gaijin always listens to, and that’s why they nerf the entire tech trees of other nations, right? Oh, wait… 😶🌫️
You mean like the 7.7 france ground lineup that was ruining 7.7 for everyone else because it was too good?
Skill issue 👌😅
Come on, there’s no issue when it’s the same Russian or US line-ups dominating everyone else at the same BR.
I wasn’t even referring to those specific nerfs. My main focus was on the F1C-200. I bought it when it was at 11.0, then in the next update it was bumped to 11.3 (often facing 12.3 in almost constant uptiers), and now it’s sitting at 12.0 with decompression, while its counterpart, the MiG-23, is only at 11.7. Too late, I had already spent money on it.
And it gets even worse. The VBCI-2 was at 9.3 when I purchased it. It was already underperforming at that BR, but then it got nerfed to 9.7.
And that’s not even mentioning the non-premium vehicles…
There is, and unless you’re living under a rock, everyone complains about them.
The F1C-200 has had its missiles buffed an incredible amount of times. Its no wonder it has been moved up.
If you want to speak about his missiles buff, don’t forget to speak about his RWR (4 sector instead of 360) or his Super 530F who his the only non-CW SARH missiles on his battles.
Russia already has paper ships in game to be any competable to rest of the ww2 navys. Japan gonna get 460 mm on yamato gonna cry why russia gets no 460 mm too?
🥖🥖 French could get Richelieu-class battleship which gonna even be over 7.0 with its exelent armour and unique quadruple turrets.
And 🍕🍕Italy could get some Littorio-class battleship
I belive after IJN Amagi japan wont be getting more capable ships until other nations gets their top battleship. Because IJN Yamato is just way to big of a gap compare to everything in the game.
We should get bigger maps for things like Yamato tho.
Edit after release @ForumModerators :
Someone seems to have forgot a 0 in the displacement. This aint destroyer😂😂😂😂
I’d expect them to add it, but it’s not going to be good.
It ended up after Ise… which makes absolutely zero sense.
Amagi should be after Kongo as both are Battlecruisers, Mutsu should have been added after Fuso if added at all, really they should have held off and added Tosa instead later on after Fuso and then waited until Nelson’s, NoCals, Sodak (1939) to add the Nagato refits.
I kind of mentioned this in passing in the update post itself, so I thought I’d reiterate that thought here:
I don’t really understand why they decided to make the ship that never got completed when the IJN got a massive roster of existing ships they could choose from? Takao-class? Nagato herself? All the pre-war dreadnoughts? Even if I won’t advocate for the last one because it’s not easy to balance, which brings me to the oft-repeated point: please look into plane BRs for Naval so we can decompress from 7.0. Not only will this make room for more kinds of ship that would be viable (all those predreadnaughts, battlecruiser, etc.) without it being clapped by battleships three decades ahead.
Lastly, as a note on game balance, as of this moment (thanks in part because of that aforementioned compression), Japan has six 7.0 ships; not including event vehicles. Comparing it to the other nations, we see:
- US: 4
- Germany: 4
- Russia: 4
- Great Britain: 1
- Italy: 1
- France: 0
So while I appreciate Gaijin making Japan appropriately a major nation in Naval, the disparity is quite obvious. So please consider a fairer distribution of vehicle releases.
