True but cruisers can still HE spam a BB to death so it's relatively even. Moreover if NO suffers i see how many tears will be spilled when Hipper with her less than stellar protection gets implemented although it may be an advantage with AP overpenning

My bad i confused with Wichita. Regarding NO being poor i disagree, she is good enough to stay there. She is just effected by the Cleveland being massively undertiered.

New Orleans is much better armored than Pensacola. Besides Cleveland was pretty much the CL counterpart of New Orleans(both were derived from Brooklyn) and Cleveland will get moved eventually(we don't know when).

Well Murmansk now differs very little from Omaha© with only torps and planes being different. Regarding their OPness we shall see, a lend leased ship doesn't represent the whole nation.

You can't add ships in a realistic way and make them balanced. As example it took around 200 planes and 2 hours to sink Yamato. I don't see how WG would make that possible in an interesting way.

As far as i know WT postponed indefinitely the ships. Anyway even if they do that this game should be up and running already by quite some time with the advantage of not having balance issues(good luck in balancing a ship with a plane or, even worse, a tank).

I can't give you an answer if you don't give the context. In any case all the loadouts are listed in the tech tree, you should be able to find an explanation there.

The MM tries to make mirror matchups: same number of carriers + same tiers on both sides. If that doesn't happen it means that at least one CV player is waiting for a long time and due to this reason the MM behaves differently with the focus on getting a game fast rather than having a balanced game.

Well i'm kind of biased in this regard since i built the Italian CV line and i would love to see them ingame . My only "concern" is how WG will make them be different from what we currently have. We'll see i assume

Yep but it wouldn't be that strange. France, Germany, Italy and Russia together have one carrier built and just a few under construction.

Hello and welcome!

Habbakuk is too big, she would be as big as an island pretty much.

The last one is really nice! I knew they existed but other than that i hadn't that much info on them.

Well depends how they arrange the ships. There's a big hole between the latest Imperial designs and the Soviet ones. In some cases the hole can be filled by the modifications made by the Soviets on the old Imperial designs, in others is more complicated. We'll see anyway. And then a lot of Stalinium will flood the servers EPIC you sir deserve a +1 UP buff plox

For now it's just speculation but in a month time we will have all the information we need about them. Of course assuming WG won't tease anything prior Igromir

Haven't checked their forum but wouldn't surprise me one bit . Perhaps. I think they could add two lines in a patch(one Russian and one German), just like they did in the past while they were completing the US and Japanese trees. There's no hard evidence which suggest it but they already did it in the past so it's plausible, although who knows how likely.

As said above there is Igromir in early October and they will surely give some info there

The German cruisers will be added next month, the exact date is unknown.

Most ships have anti torpedo protection, some are of course more protected than others. I don't know how it's modeled and it's hard to say without the armor stats.

Torpedo nets were used when ships were stationary and not on the move. They may be more effective but being stationary against a CV and/or a DD isn't exactly smart.

You're welcome!

Ectar told me they'll add new language on the forums around release so in a few weeks we should get ours.

Stop having facts interrupt a flame war, it's rude . Joking of course.

KGV had a 15" armed variant, axed due to the London Treaty(the only one which strictly follows that set of rules). If she is found weak they can give that upgrade to her. Regarding the others i think they'll do fine in their respective tiers.

Diana can be optained by buying ASUS products as far as i know, i may be wrong.
