Modern ships is, or was on the way

Really like this wallpaper from WTM——although it’s kinda dramatic to use AShM at such a close range

Although I don’t play WTM, but the JDS takatsuki in WTM is clearly missing it’s ASROC launcher and Phalanx CIWS. This is quite interesting especially we already have modeled ASROC launcher on JDS Chikugo and usable russian CIWS in war thunder. It might help us understand Gaijin’s attitude toward advanced naval weapons or mechanism.

I’m just wondering when will ASW heli or at least QH-50 DASH(Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter) come.

USS Pittsburgh and USS Newport News in WT and USS Belknap in WTM have Helipad on board. Which could operate ASW heli.

QH-50 DASH (Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter, get it’s nicknames ‘Down At Sea Helicopter’ due to it’s high loss rate) could be operate by FRAM destroyers and other ships such as upgraded Dealey-class frigate and Takatsuki-class destroyer. We already have the pre-upgrade/early version of them in WT. Takatsuki-class destroyer has already in WTM.

BTW we already have Ka-29 in game, which is the assault variant of Ka-27 ASW helicopter.

It 's actually most likely still there; visual models are interchangeable between WT and Mobile, but WTM hides unused animated parts to save on resources - the stub and weathering for the RUR-5 location are present, the same as it looks on Chikugo here in WT when the launcher 's textures are hidden:

It’s so weird to see the launcher disappear while the loader is still there. Thank you for your showcase anyway.

Not too concerned about ASROC as it had no anti-surface capability. However, the Knox class Frigates generally had a couple of Harpoon missiles loaded into the launcher alongside the ASROCs since there was no separate AShM launcher fitted.

Later ASROC launchers could launch RGM-84 Harpoon and RIM-24 Tatare SAMs

Not all countries upgraded though and the Japanese were one of those. There were also those ships that simply maintained separate systems even when it could have been possible.

Though I doubt whether they can receive their function :/

We don’t even have proper WWII battleships yet and you’re already wanting missile cruisers? XD

USSR has run out of battleships already

Arhangelsk, Izmail class, Project 23 class battleship: excuse me what?

Arhangelsk was a UK ship, Izmail class and Project 23 never completed.

Doesnt matter since we have noworossyisk

Doesnt matter since we have kronstadt

Kronstadt itself can get a 380mm refit too as a separate vehicle since two were build in that class

never completed doesn’t mean anyting when RN Etna and RN Comandante came out, and we have ‘planned’ Conte di Cavour refit and Kronshtadt.

Yep. Two more Sevastopol-class, three Imperatritsa Mariya-class, one Izmail-class, one Imperator Nikolai I-class, four Sovetsky Soyuz-class, one more Kronshtadt-class, three Stalingrad-class, and Arkhangelsk (formerly HMS Royal Sovereign).

Still lots to add for the Russian tree, though they will inevitably have the “weakest”/smallest collection of battleships.

I don’t think Project 23 class(aka Sovetsy Soyuz class) battleship would come in number of four. Those sisters does not have difference in design, which makes Z-46 and Z-47 implemented together. Same stands for Project 82 class (aka Stalingrad class) as there are no difference in design of two sisters. Actually Izmail class can be in at least three according to those principle as they have different engines.

For Sevastopol… only one remains now, Ganguat(aka Oktabryskaya Revolutsiya)

The collection, or line-up would be the weakest point of future top BR soviet navy. Only with one Project 23

I forgot abt this thread … some news, the Pr.12412 's have received the ammo module for the reload missiles of their Strela-3 launchers:
