Yes, this is a yamato-class. I am very confident with sources to claim that a Japan bombed to the ground by allied bombers can produce another yamato-class ship, luckily surviving the war and was generous enough from the US to be given as a war reperation and surviving the civil war and getting refitted with soviet techs when the Sino-soviet relations are at an all-time low.
I dont play WOWS, this thing came to mind because somehow China gets a yamato in WG universe. Anyways, I suppose war thunder wont come to such needs, since in the future like this year or so naval should take a turn towards the age of missiles after BIG7+ tier of battleships been introduced. After that the super battleships like iowa could then come in parallel with more DDGs. Sweden and China should also get a chance at naval then, well, Sweden could already get naval now.
Initially it was supposed to only go to Germany, however the community pointed out it had zero relation to Germany other than it being in service with one of their neighbors, while the turret was of French design. The argument was that it actually had real relations to France over it simply being a case of geopolitics for it going in the German tree. Since the tank was already slated for Germany, that version stuck while Gaijin copied it over to the French tree.
None of the vehicles in this month 's Passed to the Devs set have been leaked.
However, the H-39 project was mentioned in Q&A as an eventual counterpart to the Iowa and Yamato class battleships, since the Bismarck class are not considered to be sufficient for that task.
I don’t think the GB techtree will be receiving incomplete ships to compete in this area, they have more than enough competitive aircraft carriers to fill out the capital ship ranks past their completed BB 's.
The H-39 is implied to be coming as an end-of-battleship counter due to completed ships for that competition level not existing in it 's techtree, an issue which doesn’t exist for the RN:
my brother in Christ we can still get the Lion if you think just because WE COULD get carriers (which currently aren’t in game) means we shouldn’t get a comparable battleship you are delusional, would be like saying "well the soviets shouldn’t get the Stalingrad because they have the Kirov class missile battle cruiser. Like cool the UK could get some carrier they arent gonna be great in wt at the ranges you spawn at when you are already being shot at thus giving the need for a COMPARABLE BATTLESHIP
ah I see ignoring the part about how carriers would be worse then BB because of the starting conditions of maps and spawns, gotcha so it more you just dont want the uk to have a comparable ship
