I believe ships were granted access to paper designs because, unlike tanks and aircraft, they don’t have the same breadth of options available.
It was agreed that the paper ship option would be included specifically to help fill gaps in the naval tech tree, i’ll see if i can find a response from Smin1080p on the matter.
@Smin1080p_WT could you comment on this please, regarding the choice to use paper ships, if you don’t mind that is, thank you xD
is there such things as Coastal Battleships ?
Britain calls them Monitor ships,
Sweden has ships like HSwMS Sverige
Large but limited number of guns, Good armour, but relatively slow, and designed around a shallow draft, making them less ideal in open water, but perfect for coastal defence or Amphibious landing naval support
There are zero paper ships in War Thunder at this time.
War Thunder only has production ships.
This is the order of manufacturing vehicles in the world:
1- Paper.
2- Scale-testing/prototyping.
3- Combat prototyping [gun testing in the case of ships].
4- Production. [This is where M10 Booker, Soyuz, Z47, etc end.]
5- Service.
Tanks are allowed to be at 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Ships can only be 4 and 5 in War Thunder.
It’s unfair in favor of tanks and aircraft.
And people are complaining that ships are allowed even 2 units while tanks and aircraft get 4 units of availability.
Hey.
Yes, we have said for some time that ships have different standards to Tanks and Planes.
Q. Will there be projects for series H battleships for Germany in the game? They were laid, but were soon dismantled. The battleship Bismarck will not be able to withstand Yamato and Iowa on equal terms. We would like to see the H-39 project.
A: We consider as possible the addition of similar ships, those that were laid down, but were not completed in reality. - Q&A
what is in the next update and how can i find out?
I think it’s a bit more complicated than that
(I could be wrong in this but IMO, this may be more accurate)
Thanks Boss!
Stay tuned to the news and the new things will be showcased via Dev Blogs and more :)
should’ve hit them with the soon tm smh
Are there going to be vehicles that are named after insects?
Was about to ask, any Dutch surprises ? I’m really loving the D.23. I’ve just had a 3 kill match lol
Cannon variant of the Wasp please : P
Norge, Sverige, Finland og Danmark (my home) we all had them!!
Sorry im translating Danish papers to english for people to read on my Danish air forum rn sorry about the wait.
HMS Ant
U.S.S Beetle
Actually i wasn’t far off.
Ships
The Royal Navy’s Insect-class river gunboats were a class of twelve shallow-draft, well-armed vessels used during the First and Second World Wars, primarily on rivers like the Danube, Tigris, Euphrates, and Yangtze. Each ship in the class was named after an insect or arachnid:
The US Navy has also had multiple ships named USS Wasp, the name being a reference to a stinging insect.
Tanks (and other Armored Vehicles)
Several German self-propelled guns (SPGs) and other armored fighting vehicles during World War II were given names derived from insects or related creatures:
Planes
A vast number of aircraft have been named after insects, largely due to the pioneering aircraft designer Geoffrey de Havilland, who was an avid lepidopterist (moth and butterfly expert).
De Havilland “Moth” series:
Other aircraft names:
Can i expect more Danish stuff or ask you to ping me if something danish arrives?
Hmmm not sure about that
Torpedoes tend to be quite mean these days.
“Nice armor you have there, now let me just ignore it all and cut your keel in half by going straight under”
Example
They can be intercepted in flight still.
Not easy to do in real life, but with a competent crew you’d better be against an AShM than a torpedo
Yeah
and the french version x)
They don’t necessarily have more explosive then the WWII ones, but exploding under really makes the difference.
