there has been a leak for it since some time
now part of the models have been leaked.
The damn leaker is a tease and wants to torture us.
Propably a different one compared to the guy that spread the models at the start of the teasers

  • Even so, the BBs are probably the most hypable part of this update. They look cool, are for multiple nations and are extremely iconic (well most of them).
  • The new SPAA, while extremely needed and valuable additions, are still just SPAA. They are generally pretty uninteresting and not very exciting to play, which isn’t very good for hype.
  • Air just got like 6 updates catered to them, we don’t need this one focused on more aircraft.

Besides these 3 main things there really isn’t much interesting/iconic coming from what we know.

Objectively a waste of development time !!

I don’t even play air RB AB or sim

How is it a waste? Should we just never add things to less popular area’s of the game?

Under that logic, we may aswell just cut-off development for every nation besides US/GER/SOV since they make up the vast majority of the playerbase. Sorry everyone else - you didn’t meet the popularity quota to be ‘worth it’.

An addition isn’t a waste just because you personally aren’t in interested in it.

I’m happy for the new AA’s ads some needed spice to flying in GRB

As for the boats I couldn’t really care less.
You could put 10BBs in front of me and they’d all look the same to me big boat with some turrets on it

Naval is fun their i said it its fun not once did i feel i had a bad match plus the sl gain and wen the ec mode is open i get a lot of sl now do i believe a boat should cost $80 hell no but will i still play naval hell yes

Patiently waiting for more crew voice line over-hauls. Give me more panicking tankers when the enemy is looking at them. More tank identifying call outs for sim battles. More immersion \o/

yeah it was like a 3-4% nerf, and they removed it anyway, trust me i was there… but specifically talking about battleships, ships…

stuff that is well beyond the weight of a Maus, the quality of that armor really matters and its something that simply doesn’t exist in war thunder ships.

for tanks instead of just losing armor value, it could be just more shrapnel, as i doubt they will ever fix HESH/HE/ Large Caliber shells

but for naval ships, its really extremely important, some nations could have 12 inches of physical armor, but due to how they create the metal, it could be 17 inches, 18 inches or even 15 inches…

Each nation was different in their advancement of metallurgy, and having inches of actual armor difference between each nation was something that was important and actually was part of the design of battleships…

Yes some ships may become stronger depending on the year they are made, some may become worse due to the advancements of each nations metal creating capabilities, but flat out just having it all the same is far to simplistic and way worse than tanks back in the day.

just having a basic flat overall numbers for all nations is silly.

There are probably more people playing Britain ground than there are naval players in general…

Specially when you remember that Naval isn’t played as much NOT because it isn’t as popular; but because it’s on a wrecked, miserable state as a whole.

When Gaijin addresses and fixes the issues, such as compression, terrible rewards or now the Arcade aiming system, I am sure it will be played significantly more and by more players. Sure, not as much as Ground or Air; but enough to be able to financially sustain itself and generate a consistent flux of players.

Development time from the Naval team has no impact on the Air / Ground teams.

However it doesn’t seem entirely logical to start such refurbishment of Naval battles with new premiums/ranks that do carry the original sins from the gamemode itself. While its true they’ve been touching stuff from Naval mechanics-wise in the past, it’s far from ready to receive new content and be a blast-no-questions-asked update.

Do these teams have a team leader by chance ?

Allow me, as a complete ignorant, to doubt about it.
If that’s true to any extent, we shouldn’t be suprised by a ton of naval content in a single update after literal years of —mostly— dry updates in the naval department.
