You’ve already got Kronstadt, Sevestapol and Soyuz, what more do you want.

They should make Soyuz 10.0

I dont think there is a paper ship that could challenge Soyuz with the current rules for implementation

Unfortunately, probably true.
I guess the devs have succeeded in making the soviets the undisputed king of 1/4 gamemodes.

Isn’t raking fire (hits to citadel through the unarmored bow/stern) known to be quite lethal in this game irrelevant of how long your ship’s schnoz is? Barring ships that actually have ridiculous armor up there (guess who!), going bow-in is usually a great way to eat dirt and explode.
Nothing else would have been able to pen me in that angle. though I wasnt doing it intentioanlly. I was turning hard and the Syouz caught me at the perfect time. Though the 4 rounds I fired back at him all non-penned.

Agreed on the Montana part, she’d fill in the USN lineup pretty nicely. Definitely hoping they also give the US the two incomplete Iowas, BBG-1 especially would be pretty fun, ditto with the proposed Illinois refit (4 x 4 8"/55s on an Iowa). As for Project 24 (Kremlin), she’s pretty iffy considering the lack of a finalized design.

ah no worries, theyre gonna add the BUK M3, T-14 and some new jet next update to make it a solid air, ground, naval dominance

Yep. Not looking forward to the 2000mm armour on the T-14

Su-35S, Sovietsky Soyuz, S-300, and T-14 ruins the alliteration

Had a thought, they should just remove AP from the Soyuz. Just limit it to SAP

There’s enough information on what they were aiming for, we know it would have 457mm guns or even 406, greater anti-aircraft defense, displacement at 91,000 tons at full load, Length would be around 300m and Beam at 40-45m, Belt would be 420mm, deck 200~ and turret faces would be over 500mm. It was designed to exceed vessels such as Yamato and Iowa.
A-150 class battleship should also be considered if they went down this route.
There’s a lot that could be considered if Gaijin goes down the whole paper route. There’s a load of strange and/or interesting designs stares at the Tilliman Battleships. A-150, though, would be quite a monstrous ship, depending on which design they would go for. There’s also in a similar vein to Gneisenau/Sevastopol the proposed 510mm upgrade proposal for Yamato

As much as I love paper ships (at least ones that are plausible and most likely to be built) lets not get ahead of our selves here. For the US, all we need is the Iowa-class USS Missouri, where her bulkhead armor is increased to a whopping 14.5"! (368mm). Iowa is already a strong ship, an addition like Missouri will make her an angling god. Montana was unfortunately never laid down, but it seems to me us US naval players wont need her thankfully, despite her being my favorite paper ship.
The British still have their Lion-class battleships, as long as they keep in with British excellent module layout practice they should be competetive. Importantly, they were laid down and fully in keeping within the rules.
Japan has the infamous A-150 Super Yamato, but if it inherits Yammys armor layout she wont be much of an improvement.
Italy and France unfortunately never had a laid down super BB that can be used. For their sakes, Roma and Richelieu should be given their best possible stats in RoF and dispersion to keep them competetive.
Now back onto the topic of the Soyuz, I absolutely refuse to allow Gaijin to give this fantasy ship the Kirov treatment. A 40 second reload and a dispersion nerf is needed to makeup for her invincibility. I will also advocate her ridiculously long and thick icebreaker result in her sinking if hit enough times, espesially since Gaijin doesn’t want to touch the armor quality issue.
EDIT: also a nerf for that ridiculous bursting charge, even if it was brought down to TNT it still a very competetive shell.

I guess I’m missing something - just got the SS and played a handful of games - never killed more than 2 enemy per spawn, front turrets get blown up easily, only got a couple of OHK’s, and got a couple using hte Strassbourg yesterday too…
Had seen a couple when playing Arckangelensk while grinding it and certainly had trouble doing much to them with 15" AP - but they did sink eventually.
skips over H39 :(
