Possibility to Add R Class Battleships to the British Tree as USSR gets Arkhangelsk

the R Class doesnt really have that Great an AA defence, They were barely refitted inter and During the war

What we need for good AA is a WW2 Refit QE, Like the Queen Elizabeth with the 20x 4.5 inch armament also seen on the Renown all with Proxy, and also more normal AA guns but eh

Hopefully we can get them since the 6 inch on Rodney should have the same shells as Southampton

They couldn’t despite wanting to/developing it.
Development takes months to years, not days.

Of course it should come, and it’ll take time to finish development on it.

Isnt it litterally the exact same ship that russia is getting?

Yes, there is literally no difference between the 2, we loaned it russia in that refit

I’ve seen no evidence that outside sharing the same class/old name that they share the same exact configuration.

@lxtav False equivalence fallacy.
OSA was proven to be the same config.

Funny how I’m being attacked for my pro-Britain post.

Russia did not modify the royal sovereign at all when Britain lent it to them, same as the murmansk, they were both returned in poor condition but with the same armament as when they were originally loaned

Still needs to be researched fully before it even goes off to requiring a 3D modeler or not.

So yeah, not sure why you’re arguing against me when you allegedly agree that it should be added.

You said nothing for or against Britain.

Also, even if a (minor) config change occurred, the devs have and will continue to be able to change weapon arraignments rather quickly, so 2 less 20mms or something of the sort wouldn’t be a massive change.

Well so is Royal Sovereign, the way it is coming to game is identical to the latest Refit it had in the RN service

Why would it need a new model for exactly the same ship, with the same weapons, i dont see what there would require any further development, theyve obviously researched it otherwise russia wouldn’t have it

To be fair it would be a classic gaijin maneuver to not research it in the slightest, give the russian one a magical buff over the standard, and then add a nerfed version to the british tree in an event 6 months later.

In this instance the configuration is accurate to history

Rare gaijin W

So, to clarify

This is arkhangelsks config in game (taken from TEC video so not great quality)

and this is Royal Sovereign in her last RN refit

Notice how they are identical down to the rafts on the side of the superstructure?
