Cat, the cat is the leaker
I see the Russians still want to hold onto the RS as much as possible, forgive me here but saying “We have other plans” there for you can’t have this is a bit rich ngl. Like we all know gaijin has plans that is just part of the games life but wanting Russia to keep one ship and baring the nation that built the thing is getting a bit petty now.
Take: The old rule was better and to this day any foreign service ship could have been moved in some form to another tree.
For example Artevelde should have been in the Belgian tree because why did we endure so much unnecessary copy paste in the name of sub trees.
Jean Bart is a premium instead of Normandie class > backlash > devs hesitate to give Littorio class premium > looks at Novorossiysk

That honestly sucks as duke of york wont add much, would honestly prefer a R class like HMS Royal Oak
Developer comment: The arrival of the Giulio Cesare (already present in the game as the Novorossiysk in the USSR tech tree) marks a shift in our approach to adding new ships. Previously, our policy was to include each ship in only one specific configuration; if a vessel had undergone multiple refits, only one version would make it into the game. Since this rule sometimes prevented the inclusion of highly interesting configurations, we decided to revise our approach. Until now, Italy was the only nation in the game without a top-tier premium ship, and the Giulio Cesare, in its original Italian configuration, is the perfect fit for this role.
Since the rule of no Dublicate hulls is now gone, when can we exspect a Historical Gneisenau with 3x3 280mm?

Britain has more Battleships than most nations in game already and has no shortage of more possible to add in the future.
This major update is no exception to that.
Its a little strange you haven’t had much of an intrest in naval before other than now wanting it simply because its in the Russian tree.

Could we see a coastal only mode eventually?
The rule change doesnt mean every single possible ship is going to be retrospectively added in a single update. It means more things are possible in the future now.
No plans for this currently to speak of.
As someone who has had a naval interest my entire life and the grand fleet in particular ive been trying to get a full lineup of the classes that took part in that battle, a revenge is one of the final ships missing, yet if i want one i have to play a nation that didnt even use it and treated it so poorly the turrets literally rusted in place from lack of use

I mean as we all know diversity is our strength : D
I personally am fascinated by the King George V class! Mostly, thanks to Prince of Wales;
The ship, despite huge mechanical reliability issues and inexperienced crew, landed ALL FOUR hits on Bismarck’s first engagement (Hood didn’t land a single one, booo), one of them while retreating under heavy fire and after being hit seven times, and with most guns malfunctioning… causing the severe damage on the Bismarck that forced her to retreat into her demise.
Bismarck is legendary for sinking Hood… and Prince of Wales brutalized Bismarck despite being in a barely operational condition.
This makes me wonder… what if, instead of Prince, had it been King George V, with better mechanical reliability? Would it have been able to land even more hits on Bismarck and destroy her…?
This ship class was definitely more powerful than it’s given credit for and I find it terribly underrated. It also looks cool as hell, with the clean hull and four gun turrets.
I’m happy with the rule change, this means Poland can now potentially get 4 variants of the D-3 torpedo boats instead of just 2

Could’ve been worse…
At least Royal Sovereign was still floating after a few years of Russian maintenance… unlike many of their ships from 1900 to the present day.
