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
