Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Agreed! The biggest caliber guns in particular sound kinda bland IMO.

It’s not that the design is bad: it’s just that it’s not ear CRACKING/piercing enough. They should sound WAY more violent, like a thunder, they sound too “gentle” right now.

I know it’s not fully accurate, since it’s low quality, but just so you get what I mean;

“it’s-not-unique-because-I-do-not-like-twin-engine-aircraft” isn’t a Good argument

ofc we like our Mossies

That’s funny, I’m like that but with the Japanese. My favourite being Yamato (Super Yamato with the DLC) and Nagato my second favourite XD

WW2 refit Nagato is actually my favourite Japanese Battleship! I was so sad when it turned out to be an 80 buck Premium…

Unironically better armor than Yamato, 10 second faster reload with practically equivalent shells, better internal arrangements… so yep, I was disappointed.

Also, yeah! I also had the DLC that included the Super Yamato. In general, I just loved Battleships, hahah. King George V too.

In fact, I had hoped for a KGV to be introduced as Premium instead of Nelson. I would 100% have purchased it to grund GB!

Japan should get some more of their unique planes to.

Ya, it’s better than not even a few years ago, but still not great. And it sounds like it’s going to go back to worse.

Once you remove stuff, a F2P player(who doesn’t have 6+ hours to spend on events) can’t get it, there is next to nothing for them.

I couldnt agree more!

Used to play ot a lot on PC, had a disc version and the Steam version. And recently got it on Xbox.

Also, I cracked with Nagato and got her, couldn’t hold myself any longer. She is great! Just disappointed about the price tag, should’ve been tech tree…

Edit: Bs Pacific is the game that got me into loving battleships

Like… as far as I know, the Yamatos continue to be one-hit-death machines because any hits below the fore turrets consistently detonate the ammunition storages. That’s why I stopped playing Japan before even reaching them, they just seem like a huge disappointment, hahah.

Meanwhile, Nagato is basically Bismarck on Steroids.

Also, same! BS:P was the game that got me into Battleships and Naval Warfare. I was 10 back then, had it for the xbox.

Haha yeah, that’s totally true. I myself am guilty of targeting any Yamato or Musashi I see first, as they are basically RP and SL piñatas. I’m now grinding for them, knowing full well of the torture I’m getting myself into after that…

Yeah, I’ve not been very successful with Bismarck compared to Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, but Nagato seems my personal best ship right now. Can even somewhat reliably duel a Soyuz :D

Ahh, the nostalgia haha, the Japanese fleet sailing below the Golden Gate bridge and US surrender aboard Yamato was such a cool sight after that awesome campaign!

Yeah; right now, the best German ship is Gneisenau… once again, a Premium lol.

And best of all; it’s somehow just 7.7 even though it’s better than most 8.7s and certainly much better than Bismarck at 8.3.

If anything, they should have their BRs switched… Gneisenau’s armor (same as Scharnhorst) is like a hundred times better than Bismarck’s.

AT MOST, they should both be the same BR; 8.0, as sidegrades; with Gneisenau trading 2 guns for better armor.

Yeah, you are totally right!

Maybe, but could also be mechanical thing, those can sometimes come about now I think

Wait firebird is rank 3 ?

I thought it was going to be rank 4 so I can put it in my line up.

Yeah I hope some mod jumps out of nowhere now, or that at least they deny more news for the day.

i have a feeling that this update is going to be very mid vehicle wise.

I think the CBT will be the “main” thing.

I wouldn’t be hoping too much for new ground maps with the answer we got regarding small maps from the Q&A. Next map probably going to be Nuke Town, same size as the COD map so you can’t move and have 1 team spawn behind the other team. Just one big spawn trap since that’s apparently what everyone wants.

I dont necessarily feel that is a bad thing. I think gaijin fixates too much on new vehicles and less so on:

  • Bug fixes
  • Finishing stuff
  • New maps
  • New gamemodes
  • New Mechanics
    etc etc
