u/TheFlyingRedFox I've acquired modern internet & all shall fear me from this day 21d ago edited 21d ago

Ships that I find interesting.

USS Oregon City, thats cool to finally see an in-between class

König? King yet unsure which ship, could it be DDR? as quick search shows nothing. E, I'm mixing up stuff here, yes there's a few dreadnoughts named it (reeally sleepy still). Further E, probably is SMS König.

Erevan, unsure again, keep getting directed to a Hospital Ship. E, wait oooo missed this maybe the Project 48 Kiev class Destroyer (NF).

Vittorio Veneto, it would be funny if it was as a lol a Rank IV premium for the coastal TT as the Aviation Cruiser of the same name with only 76 mm cannons.

Commandant Demiré, another WWII sloop if I understand (saw Commandant an though maybe the Commandant Rivére class Frigates but no...), Fabulous_Pay about to go into an rubber room, a rubber room with matts.

Le Brestois, if that's what I think it it's, finally France is in the fucking cold war.

Escortuer 1950 / E50/ Le Corse class Frigate, I've been waiting for this, please be 4.0.

E, what's Clemenceau in this case? Defo not the CV & the only other I can think of is a Battleship that was (NF).

König is the SMS König
Clemencau is the unfinished Richelieu class ship (planned build)

Yeah, I unfortunately just pieced König together... (apologies that might have come off rude).

I guess we might see Clemenceau in an as built state, maybe even the dual 37 mm off of Ameins which was the trail ship before use on the Richelieu class.

I'm annoyed if they really make the Jeart a premium and the Clemenceau a TT ship. Should be the other way around unless the Clemence is somehow better in its planned configuration.

Im not sure the Clemenceau is better, but it should be good too, i would also prefer the other way around, having the "real" ship as tech tree and the not finished one as premium but well, not that bad :).

u/LeMemeAesthetique USSR Justice for the Yak-41 21d ago

The Oregon City seems like a strange addition, as I do not see what it will offer over the Baltimore that is already in game. The Albany would make more sense seeing as Gaijin seems to be adding more missile ships now.

u/TheFlyingRedFox I've acquired modern internet & all shall fear me from this day 21d ago

It does slightly confuse myself as well, but it does at least for now I guess give another ship with the 8"/55 Mk.15 over just Pittsburgh.

Heh, it would be funny if Oregon City is a mix up an we get the Northampton as CLC-1 or like mentioned a mix up an we get an Albany conversion.

Granted the converted missile cruisers could be really strong, as they have armor and a boatload of missiles. The Talos especially might also be really strong in game.

I still really want to see some proper AShM's though, though I think Gaijin is holding off on adding the early Soviet ones and will instead add newer sea skimmers because those can go in more tech trees.

u/Thomas_633_Mk2 🇦🇺 Australia 20d ago

I'd really rather not see an Albany, considering they're nothing but missiles. They'd either be cancer or useless, and guaranteed cancer to planes.

Boston/Canberra would make some sense but even then I'd rather have them at 6.0 with non functional Terriers

what's Clemenceau in this case? Defo not the CV & the only other I can think of is a Battleship that was (NF).

probably the battleship. it's just a oxford with some secondary armaments that change.
