I wouldn’t mind seeing other takes as for suggestions we currently have Thatz’s ground one
And I’ve been working on the Air tree. (I’d be done already if it wasn’t for the fact the photos and specs are hard to come by for some of them, even more as it is an obscure Canadian-built variant of some British or American plane. Ironically the plane I thought would have been the hardest to fine info on was one of the easest.)
My bone to pick with Seacat is they’re essentially useless. To my knowledge, no proximity fuse (Stormer HVM flashbacks), 5,500 yard range (on the optimistic side) and eyeball guided.
Hence my (almost concerning) obsession with the County Class. Given where we’re at in Naval, that would, imo, be the best suited and most balanced addition whilst not being outright DOA.
Why has Gaijin given Japan two 410mm-armed Battleships before giving U.S a single 406mm-armed one? :/
The “balance” part goes off the window when you consider than the 2x Japanese BBs armed with 410mm guns also reload these in 25 seconds, while the American Battleship armed with 406mm guns wouldstill take 40 seconds to reload- so it’s not like it would be OP compared to what they’ve been giving Japan or anything.
I was grinding USS Tennessee, until I realised… it’s just a much-better-looking Arizona with slightly higher penetration. Given the current state of shell rooms, I am not sure it’s even worth the grind.
Britain and especially France and italy need BBs that equal that which US, Japan and germany already have. We simply dont have anything all that good at top at the moment.
Once us 3 have gotten something… better… Then they could probably start looking at even more modern BBs.
@Rileyy3437 Will know how something like Iowa would fit with options for other nations
That could not be further from the truth. Even if it was, though, if you consider things like the SO-122 and M-84AS as just modified vehicles and thus not worth adding, you need to move your goalposts.
Iowa’s armor was designed to withstand fire from 18,000m onwards, and War Thunder’s current engagement ranges are all within 13,000m.
Gameplay wise, Iowa’s belt armor is actually worse than Scharnhorst’s, or even the American Dreadnoughts xD. Only advantages would be the deck and barbettes.
Remove “US” from this, you really don’t want US-like BBs lmao.
Imagine a ship that instantly dies every time it’s hit on the barbettes- that’s an U.S BB as of now because of the buggy shell rooms that Gaijin refuses to fix. Also, 40 second aced reloads xD.
US have 5 rank VI BBs and whilst yes they are buggy, but once they are fixed, you will have 5 very very good ships. Britian has 2. 1 of which has the same survivability of the current US BBs and its not a bug. Same is true for both Italy and France
Yep, that is wierd… but it beats 30 second reloads of the Hood with a 90% chance that most of the salvo will miss due to shell dispersal. Would gladly take 40 seconds reloads to have the accuracy US ships have.
