Because people keep mentioning it and making decisions based on it, Please note that this is just a way for me to get feedback oh how the suggestion is looking and what I can improve on it.

Also keep in mind this: if it was to be added to the game, it would not be one of the first submarines to be added. Rather, it would be further down the line.

USS NAUTILUS SSN-571 Early 1960’s varient

USS Nautilus was the world’s first nuclear submarine and was laid down in 1952. The submarine was in service from 1954 to 1980; after she was mothballed, she was turned into a museum ship and is currently located in Groton, Connecticut. While you may see that it’s a nuclear submarine, there’s more than meets the eye to the Nautilus.

The Nautilus gets its name from the submarine featured in the book 2000 Leagues Under the Sea; during her service, it was primarily used for trials and as a testbed. She participated in numerous training exercises, as well as participated in the Cuban missile crisis as part of the blockade. The Nautilus was powered by a STR nuclear reactor that powered 2 steam-driven propeller shafts.

I believe the Montanna class is actually not viable to become a suggestion as it doesn’t meet the criteria to be considered.

submarines are cool +1

In the navy there is no choice, you have to add all ships, even paper ones, like Germany, France, Great Britain, etc., it has a chance with yamato or iowa or the Soviet soyuz.

6

you misunderstand its literally the offical rule that paper vehicles aren’t allowed, and the Montanna is a paper vehicle

hey @LamawDoniczce here’s the link to the suggestion rules: Rules, Guidelines & Tips For Creating Suggestions (Check Before Creating A New Suggestion!)

if you wanna try to make a suggestion for Montanna, go ahead. I guarantee that it would most likely not be accepted, though.

I know that paper vehicles are unavailable, but it’s only a matter of time when this will change, because the navy will not be able to be balanced by paper ships, unless the gaijin has it all in the ass like now and there will be no balance and the navy will die

Right - it’s fictional unlike that rock solid grounded in reality Krondshtadt 😑

Your argument is not that good, considering the best ships in the game are still pre ww2 and ww2 ships there’s still a long way to go before we would even be able to have anything modern outside of maybe early Cold War ships (1960’s and the like)

I’m not going to propose anything, I’m just stating the facts that without the positive of paper battleships for other countries, the balance on ships will cease to exist even more than it does now because of Scharnchort, and modern ships don’t have much of a chance against BB, especially those from the 60s-70s
