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

I love wargaming sometimes or the HMS Thunderer being made from the existence of a single 18inch gun not even a turret

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.

i would very much rather they flesh out the trees more before jumping to trees that would be rather barren like china and sweden

Of course. Where dunkerque?
Also dont laugh at me for pre ordering duguay troin

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.

I mean if we get more powerful BBs then I see no reason not to. But I wouldn´t say that Mutsus 16" are on a new level compared to 15"s or others.

I would say that I miss QEs more then the KGV. QEs and Revenges or Tennessee are more lacking since these should already be in game.

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 would assume Lion would be the UKs counterpart since ya know 3 triple 16 inch turrets with a decent speed and armour should be comparable to Iowa

Gaijin: no, you will stick to the hood, and have a QE in the mean time.

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 Lion is more legal by gaijins standards then H39 lmao so if we didnt get a counterpart it would be a massive double standard

real lmao

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:

So there 's little reason to believe that incomplete ships would be added, as there 's no need for them.

PUMA uses attica 3RD gen, also idk if ajax has a lot of armor but PUMA its a micro MBT pretty much in terms of armor

I want a BC Lexington tbh.

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

An asinine comparison. You really live like this ?

Both are already ingame as carriers.

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

They had and will have ships to compete at Iowa 's level - they’re just not battleships.
