Current thoughts are an IJN cruiser, possibly a takao class.

So another DOA class that will only serve as BB food, great
No but you don’t understand, when it’s any other vehicle, upping the BR massively is fine (hello AGS with M833 at 12.0), but when it’s a premium that coincidentally happens to be russian, suddenly, its “oh, we’ll only up it one step even though it might not be enough”

We wait for Polish tech tree
They’re testing the water. Up it slowly until it reaches a state of being OP but not enough to irk the playerbase as much as it currently does. Strategy of desensitization :)
I agree that the BMPT should move up, but this part about the AGS is some revisionism. The AGS also got bumped up by small steps every time.

Ah, yes, the “small step” of 9.3 to 10.0, then it moved to 10.3 then went up to 11.0 and then from 11.0 (or 11.3 ?) straight to 12.0
The AGS was strong, don’t get me wrong but, even though it was a very strong tank in the right hands, it definitely feels like the BMPT is more oppressive and only gets a milquetoast 0.4 br increase for some reason

though I havent get BMPT yet, but from my observation, I think it’s power relies much on bullying low br vehicles. the ones shooting m735/dm23, and many light tanks, they are the ones that can’t handle BMPT, once separated with them, things will change a lot.
At least the qn506 stayed was scared of ppl confusing the two terminators lol
And the timescale is also way different. It took months or even years for the AGS to get most of these BR changes.
Meanwhile it’s been what, 1-2 weeks since the update released?

About the ship, i dont think its a japanese one.
it looks like its at least a Cruiser size and japanese ships normaly got a Imperial Seal at the front.
But the Front of this one just doesnt fit what you normally got on Japanes ships.
And from what i saw when looking at diffrent japanes ships none of them really fits the bill with this high slick Tower and bouth of these rangefinders on the side.
At least that what belive if the showed ship is accurate displayed.
The problem is simply that they can move it to 11.7 and nothing will change.
They need to make adjustments to the damagemodel so it can actually be disabled or killed reliably when aiming properly - which currently simply is not the case.
Could it be IJN Mogami or Suzuya after their 1940’s refit with the 203mm guns perhaps?
Img: IJN Mogami, 1940
Pre-refit (still w/ 155mm cannons)
May also explain why we can only see 2 guns in the decal, as turret 1 and 2 were essentially hidden behind the bow/turret 1 respectively.
I mean maybe? idk, the conning tower and superstructure look different
We cant have the same ship 2 times due to Gaijin Rules.
So this excludes any ship we got already.
what i could think of maybe a former Japanese Cruiser in Chinese Service with some modifications to it = Chinese Navy?
Well it may just be Takao after her major reconstruction afterall;
left: pre- | right: post-reconstruction
Had to double-check;
It could also be IJN Maya (if that hasnt been added already, cant recall)

Maybe Gaijin is showing a new era of fleet with “modern” ships?
It can be cold-war era cruisers(or retrofits)
Or it’s something unfinished like Soviet Union or Sevastopol. H-class battleship?
