Something like this?

I hope that sometime in the future of updates, that the brimstones become fire and forget like the AGM-65s, I also hope that they fix the EFs radar etc.

Well mostly I excluded the Amagis because they are already in-game at 7.0. My goal was to map out what the “top” battleships might be, the things that might qualify as the next BR step.

That said, I made some pretty glaring omissions and included the Revenges and Queen Elizabeths which are technically already in game at 7.0…

I forgor :\

But also, I don’t think Gaijin will use project vessels unless they don’t have another option. The Lexingtons and original SoDaks are neat designs, and by Gaijin’s rules they could include them! But the US has no shortage of designs that made it to service to use instead and I’m pretty confident we will see those first. Whereas the USSR has no options but projects if they will have top battleships.

For some reason I thought Gascogne got laid down when it didn’t.

So here’s a less confusing list.
Battleships that could be added in 2025 above BR 7.0 (assuming no BR decompression happens):
USA
Lexington Class (4 possible, assuming the two converted to carriers are excluded)
South Dakota Class 1920 (6 possible)
Colorado Class (4 possible)
North Carolina Class (2 possible)
South Dakota Class (4 possible)
Iowa Class (WW2 and postwar fits) (6 possible)
Total: 26 ships (13 projects)

GBR
King George V class (5 possible)
Lion (2 possible)
Vanguard (1 possible)
Total: 8 ships (2 projects)

DEU
Bismarck class (2 possible)
H-39 class (2 possible)
Total: 4 ships (2 projects)

RU
Sovetsky Soyuz (4 possible)
Stalingrad (1 possible)
Total: 5 ships, all projects

ITA
Littorio class (4 possible)
Total: 4 ships (1 project)

FRA
Richelieu class (WW2 and postwar fits) (3 possible)
Total: 3 ships (1 project)

JPN
Nagato class (WW2 fit) (1 possible)
Tosa class (1 possible)
Yamato class (4 possible)
Total: 6 ships (3 projects)

We already have RN Comandante Margottini(which was first non-comissioned ship ingame), RN Etna, Shcherbakov, Z46/47 which clearly has another option

Only one, or two will be possible. It seems Gaijin choose Sovetsky Soyuz as 1939 design so maybe 1938 design could be also possible as it was original design when Sovetsky Soyuz and Sovetskaya Ukraina laid down, but well, Sovetskaya Ukraina could be problematic name for now.

You forget Normandie class.

Shinano and 4th ship laid down are no difference in design, so doubt both would be ingame.

I should really avoid posting while tired. >.>

But were any made?
A specific variant of enhanced F-16 block 70/72 with IRST, towed radar decoy, conformal fuel tanks, F-35 information display, Triple Missile Launcher Adapters (TMLAs) i.e 40% more A2A weapons

So, does it count for US (being the manufacturer) or UK (via India, since it’s a tailored version specifically for the Nation).

Only found few references:

was it ever flown by indian pilots? or by lockheed/US demo team?

That’s what I am asking as well

Doesn’t matter who flow it or who US company made, India is a sub of Britain if they do adopt it the likelyhood of Britain getting it is 100%

Although there this article here

100% if it is added. It might simply not be added.

If India builds a prototype then that game set and match : P

yeah probably, but they havent built a prototype
lockheed has/will

I just want it on a cool bases, but since I don’t have a high copium field lol, it really unlikely we would see it

There was the opinion previously, that India should be a Ru sub tree.
Damn … now that thought kinda gives me this: O.o reaction whenever I think about it.
Imagine Jaguar, F-21, Rafale for Ru
