That 's a fun thing I’ve been thinking abt. The Q&A which originally mentioned it as a possibility was phrased in a way which implies it 's possible if the Bismarck classe are not strong enough to be matched w/ Yamato and Iowa. ( btw, that article was published before Scharnhorst was ingame )
But now it seems like it 's appearing alongside them as an equal, or something similar to equivalency w/in the BR system. If that turns out to be true, then it might be entirely possible we could never see it ingame - it wouldn’t be necessary to bring balance, so adding it would be subtractive from balance.
There was a leak of visual models a few days ago, it was one of the ships to appear:
So is E-100 a blueprint tank cause only its hull was finished?
Just because something isn’t finished doesn’t make it blueprint.
And if bad-bad Germans didn’t bomb the living travesty that was Kron’s drydock it would’ve been completed.
And I don’t think it’s wise to defend any bombing of dry docks as a means to prevent vehicles from coming to War Thunder, especially by bad-bad groups.
That counts as production when it comes to naval. 10,000 man hours for a tank/plane vs 3 million for a battleship. Paper for naval is something that never made it to laying the keel.
I never said blueprint ships couldnt come to the game…? way to put words in my mouth if you actually look at my messages about this im fine with blueprint ships, but I think Pr23 should come with the ships that were being built at the same time as her which are Lion and H-39
