You do know that all Britain got last year was the Tornado F3 (which has only recently been fixed to the point of actually being fun) and the Sea Harrier FRS1e which is just a C&P of the SQV we got 9 months earlier.
June, September and October we got essentially nothing
We got Repulse, which was a notable downgrade over Hood or either 7.0 event ships.
Whilst our average is 1 new top tier ship every 2 years. I would hope that we’d either get R-Class in the same update as the soviets or an appropriate top tier ships like QE/Warpsite, KGV or Rodney.
I mean, there might be times they won’t have the absolute best, especially when their AMRAAMs and 9X compete with Meteor and IRIS-T/ASRAAM and equivalent, but they will always have something competetive at least.
If we got something else. I wouldnt really mind. R-Class never got modernised other than some AAA. Especially if it was something other than a 15" slinger. Would be fun to have something that was different. But if we get nothing in naval other than a useless filler. Then it will be a real shame we didnt get an R-Class in the same update. Heck could even get the exact same ship, just with the original name and a lot less rust
