Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

What

Germany has been stomping since 2021 with Scharnhorst, Bayern, Baden, Sachsen and just got Derfflinger, which is still better than any American ship currently xD

The only barely workable American ship currently is Alaska, and that’s sad…

Germany, along with Japan and even Russia, is the last nation to need more and better Battleships…

Agree on France though, they need Normandie or Dunkerque- and Italy, well, is there even anything they could possibly get left besides Littorio?

Well Smin saids every nation will get Rank VI capital ship for last and next update so.

Italy has chance of Caraccio, though I would say it is just minor Hood

Which I think is wrongly labeled as a “battlecruiser” in-game, and the Scharnhorst is as well.

In reality it is an overgrown heavy cruiser, and the Scharnhorst is a fast battleship.

“battlecruiser” was a WW1 phenomena, not applicable to WW2 ships

Edit: Alaska is a “large cruiser” xD

Honestly with Gaijin’s policy we will probably see Caracciolo when there will already be stuff like Tirpitz in the game. At this point I would rather see them invest into lower br ships like San Giorgio, Pisa, Regina Elena and Margherita, than most likely DOA top tier, because Littorio will also come with delay anyway, probably at the time of Yamato and Iowa.

Caracciolo i’m unsure if it would even be relevant now, on paper its a good QE, Bayern, Normandie class equivalent but the compression is so high that its not spaced well enough for it to work…

We really need br 7.7 for those really strong ships as well as just a new lease of life into naval. Something needs to change.

Please separate the 7.7-9.7 land and air BR weights!

Man Smin confirmed there will be Italy’s Rank VI battleship at least this year.
Also Italy gets battleship quite soon. Their start was slower than other nations, but soon they got Doria, Duilio and Cavour. Actually except Caracciolo and Littorio class, nothing is left for them.

I think you quote wrong person

Q5 (Early) Q5A BR Total Weight Should Decrease
Q5 (early) was unable to cope with SPAA of equal weight, and Q5A’s firepower was not worth it at 9.7BR

Sorry, I may have accidentally clicked on your profile picture!

I do hope Gaijin allow Littorio UP.41 as well as the Alsace class.

I hope that in case of Littorio we will get at least 3 completed ships of the class, so you could make a full lineup of them.

If you have some addional sources on this, it would be useful to make a bug report. So far only one book excerpt was submitted which is sadly insufficient proof.

German plane might actually be interesting given the BR range BP stuff sits at.

It sits at 14.0 because it’s the Eurofighter Typhoon. TT one will be released in Dec 2025.

I hope they’re giving us 3 vehicles instead of 2 + a box. If they are so keen to use the boxes then give us 3 BP vehicles + a box.
