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

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.

The UK has the Lions (with potentially a Montana equivalent) as well as the G3 BC.

Do you really think that BBs and CVs would fill even remotely close role in battle for your argument to make sense?
I can´t see how the fact that both are capital ships is remotely relevant. And even then did Germany need Z-46 or Z-47? Did Italy need Etna, did USSR need Shcherbakov?

na apparently according to this guy we dont need them because we will have other “capital ship” just ya know they will be CVs with in 15km of battleships and getting shot at accurately on spawn

I’m choosing to ignore that because there is absolutely no way in hell the fact that Germany getting unfinished BB’s when their Capital ships already define the meta has anything to do with aircraft carriers.

As if Bismarck won’t be broken to fuck and more than a match for Iowa, Vanguard, Littorio, Richelieu and likely better than them all.

But no give them an unfinished ship that was borderline unfeasable to make it worse and its okay because Britain built aircraft carriers which aren’t even playable in warthunder.
