Pre-order: Jean Bart — The Last French Battleship

definitive / best built IRL i think he means

Jean-Bart is a bit iconic, Clemenceau behind a paywall would have been fine imo

definitive in the sense that its the most capable battleship France ever operated
I have no interest in project vessels, regardless of nation or era. If it were up to me I’d remove them all (or, where applicable, revert them to earlier specs)

Because at the time of me writing my message it was stated as rank 6 which has happened to change as things do so you bring it up later is you being argumentative and not needed!

Talking about deleted post isn’t allowed and will be removed.

Okay thanks you

True, I forgot it hadn’t been laid down yet.

Top tier is only top tier when the game is done

:-)

Am I misunderstanding this? Isn’t this a better reload at 2RPM? The other ships have 1.8RPM

Give me a menu option to use the old Naval Arcade aiming, and I will start to spend my money on War Thunder Naval again.

You guys ruined one of my favorite modes. You still refuse to have a conversation about it.

So, I will continue to refuse to play or pay for it.

As possible as Soyuz

Not only that, but it was only ever designed with two internal hardpoints. So even if it was wired or had a radar it’d be beyond useless in ARB.

The MiG 1.44 is even worse, as it straight up didn’t have a radome or any provisions/weapons bay like the Su-47 did.

The YF-23 also lacked a radome and cannot fit any radar. It had provisions for an IRST system that was never fitted.

So the TLDR is that unless standards for additions change and Gaijin starts going into fictional “what-if” territory, none of these planes can be added.

Soyuz was laid down

They were all detailed in full. Not just its weapons, but RWR , Countermeasures and Radar as well as avionics. The same is not true of the EAP. Which just had some dummy missiles and nothing else.

Its not even simply weapons. The Yak has very clear detailed plans of everything mentioned above. The EAP does not. As it was never intended to.

This has already been concluded many times. Please stay on topic.

Thanks for the clarification Grom!

I was gonna say…

Your making THE Jean Bart a premium? That would be like making the Tirpitz a premium, and im gonna make a wild guess that that’ll be in one of the following naval dev blogs.

Just a shame for those who will be grinding france and may not want to pay, im happy just being able to view them as it makes it a whole hell of alot easier to model.

Yeah, but some nations had actually sane designers who did not have stalin breathing down their necks. I would love to see the lion class as at the moment there is no point grinding top tier naval because good luck facing the soyuz. Even THE best fit for the lion class would still probably be worse than the in game soyuz just showing how ludicrous its fantasy stats are.

BTW, anyone have ANY idea what the hell they were planning on using to power the bloody thing?

that is, a French ship in a premium package while Italy hasn’t yet received one or an event for a high-era ship we are between ridicule, mockery and a drop of gaijin sadism towards Italy.👏👏👏

At least italy still has the best looking ships, the Roma is a work of art.

which among the battleships I believe is the worst

but is it 3 triple 380mm Type: 1
3 triple 406mm Alsace Type: 2
or with 3 quad 380’s Type: 3

Hope its TYPE 2 : the Iowa/Soyuz slayer

The 406 guns existed irl so data on ballistics are readily accessible.
