Lack of Naval balance and prioritisation

Hi all, and particularly smin if you are reading.

This update delivers on some interesting features, however, I was disturbed to see the US receive a new battleship meanwhile there are still nations lacking an 8.7 competitor. The question is simply why are we getting more US battleships instead of 8.7s for other nationa such as HMS Lion or the Alsace. (Unsure what they would do for Italy).

Additonally, it’s a little disappointing the two new missile ships which are highly interesting are not player accessible, instead being for AI. Then there’s no update on the subs progress.

I’d love an answer particular on why there are no 8.7s for other nations most of all.

Gaijin didn’t prioritize naval because barely any people play naval

I get this, but they added one US battleship, when they could have focused on HMS Lion or the Alsace. It isnt about me asking for them to prioritise naval, but to prioritise 8.7s for other nations before new US battleships

Maybe some countries just don’t have any ships they can add?
