If you can pen her, she will be abysmal the internal layout is as bad as Yamato. It depends how many of the historical nerfs the ship had to undergo gaijin add. IRL she had to have her belt armour made in 2 pieces not one, and of weaker face hardened armour rather than cemented armour. This would make her vulnerable to virtually any battleship calibre gun.

But gaijin will probably just add her based on the paper plans which are OP (unless you can pen her which most can’t). If she is added now she’s also not going to be fighting her German and British equivalents.

Anyone can draw ludicrous plans on paper. The brits did it a lot with for example incomparable. But the brits weren’t so stupid as to draw things they couldn’t actually build and then lay them down too. (Though incomparable could easily have been built). But due to soviets direct answer to Stalin soviet sovetsky was laid down and they then later had to change things and ended up with a rather pathetic ship.

With the new naval rank VII, will there be RP/SL cost reduction for rank VI and below?

4756

probably not.
They didnt do it with rank VIII ground and air either.

4757

Only one among those two condition was considered, not both. And face hardened armour is treated same as cemented armour in War Thunder naval right now.

Not actually. Incomparable wasn’t draw specifically, only concept was mentioned by Fischer, and there are no British shipyard that could build such long ship. Hood was the limit of British shipyards on both WW1 and WW2.

US also gets LAV AG, the LAV with HSTVL gun, LAV AT, and the LAV ATM.

Face hardened needs to be reported eventually then as it’s less durable and will just crack the plates.

Incomparable was never fully specified out but the general premise was doable and iirc they made the line drawings but never internals. Particularly as the UKs plan was to enlarge 30 docks across the empire to fit the G3 and perhaps L3 ship designs at the time. Obviously these would be cancelled by WNT so they were never expanded but the technical limitations of not being able to build even the armour or structural reinforcements are different imo to not having a dockyard big enough at that moment.

Other examples better than incomparable would be something like the L2 design (my favourite because it’s like Hood).

But my point is that SS is particularly irritating as it couldn’t have been done it just got started due to Stalin being a menace and I’ve read in two books that the soviet designers worried it may have cracked in two upon being launched.

LAV-25 USMC?

GDLS-C is still GDLS, it just happens to be that the factory that makes them is located in Canada

I have a dream…of Easter EU TT

With recent news skyranger become more valuable to cover spawns from drones. This will prevent fire to AA and give it more time to live. We need skyranger already!

4765

It’d be my favorite on par with GB, Sweden and Israel

4766

As a Czech i would have a heavy bias…and probably be even more mad when Gaijin would add copy and paste into TT when all those nations had a LOT unique vehicles. (Yes, some of them were heavy modification of soviet one, but still)

Most of modifications are pretty interesting

4768

Is there a suggestion already made for this?

4769

Hell, we can see it on Moderna. Not only there was also one/midification that had twin 20mm. But lucky for use, even the one in RU TT is a event one, Easter TT could get a TT one also as apparantly there was one with 30mm that had a different engine…so one day

4770

I think they are some. There is one for Czechoslovakia that is well made. Still being updated as guy works on it for a few years

4771

Eastern Europe has the most interesting modifications of Soviet tanks.
“Twardy”, Moderna, T84M. They are based on t72/80 but have absolutely unique flavor

Dont forget about our T-72M4CZ which is a another amazing upgrated tank. Or T-72 SCARAB

also just a short word about the newest devlog premium without creating a wall (never works for me)…

Notice how it is germany and russian at 80$ with both being strong ships first, instead of a mega combo of all premium versions… i just wonder what two nations do decently well due to their battle cruisers (or battleships) (Germany)…

i called it before, this will be the final coffin, now seeing costs, it’s the last nail really for naval it will take actual decade to fix a flesh out naval to get out of compression…

they are just jumping to the “cool ships” and not fleshing out game mechanics that real life ships had to deal with, and with actual ships and their variants, and just jumped to making them directly to the fun ships that MIGHT make them money…

its really the same extremes as putting f22’s/su57 in the game at top tier as of this second… and yes with all the issues that war thunder has it puts those planes in extremes of good, and game mechanics are missing

and with war thunder relaxing more and more of “fakeism” of vehicles, i think its time to grow and expand to use actual paper ships, tanks and planes, where they are BALANCED properly instead of this “you need the hand of the person that made the vehicle firmly shaking our hands for us to say its for balancing reasons”, with non paper vehicles in the game.

also fleshing game mechanics in game:

  • Regenerative Steering
  • Remastering Thermals
  • Remastering Heat textures and how vehicles look hot/cold
  • Sound Audio Engine Change
  • Fleshing Out Stealth Mechanics
  • Exhaust Visual Fixing
  • APU Tank Changes
  • Tank Digging Changes
  • Shell Mechanics/Damage fixing

The list is growing more and more of game mechanics needing heavy changes, or flat out missing, and while the game gets older, where i have been playing since 2012 with the Russian beta (different accounts) its exhausting where the bar war thunder puts in what they will actually put in (faked), and game mechanics/fixes i feel like they actually 100% refuse to implement due it won’t help certain nations.

its tiresome and the wave of wanting to play war thunder is getting less and less.
