Paper russian BB line, with only a single one being an actually launched ship, getting implemented next... ...in the meantime, in Italy I get it, Russia is still the biggest market for WG, and probably not enough people care about the Regia Marina to make a good return of investment on the development of anything Italian, and I mean anything that isn't the most expensive premium battleship that historically only managed to be sunk the time it left port to surrender. I also get how balancing something almost entirely made up and that existed only on a napkin is far easier than juggling hard and soft stats from vessels that actually existed (not that an Italian line can be fully made from various degrees of "real" vessels, but that's beside the point), so I understand how a russian BB line is the lowest hanging fruit right now, but I can't refrain from going: "OH COME ON WG! NOT AGAIN!" Italy only had premiums for so long now that it starts to feel like an extortion (for a lack of better terms), and while I absolutely love my Giulio Cesare, I'd also like to play a proper line. Not that I'm not used to see WG go "Italy soon™" and then give priority to literally everything else to the point I've dropped the game way before an actual Italian line managed to get implement. Looking at you WoT.

Some pages back in this thread I've read that there are two archives that hold the informations needed for the RM tree, one in LaSpezia, one in Venice. Since I live next to Venice we might organize something if you'd ever gonna come here.

Sorry if I'm cynical, but if WG behaves like it did in WoT, Regia Marina will never be implemented, regardless of someone's opinion in the forums. Deamon here showed with his excellent work how it's very possible to fill a tree. Too bad WG hardly knows it. Regarding the last statement, I'm sorry, but I don't trust them anymore: they showed in multiple occasions in WoT how flexible they are with such standpoints, especially when it comes to the implementation of *any* tech tree that is not italian.

Hi Deamon. Let me first congratulate with you for this hell of a research you did: I've been following this thread since way before deciding to start playing WoWS, and I'm glad to see it almost complete. I'm writing this post because I think it would be cool to preview some of the warships of the Regia Marina, and I'd gladly model them in 3D. I'm no artist so black and white photographs don't help me very much in this task, but I know how to use a parametric 3D CAD software. I don't know if you are in possession of any detailed technical drawings of one or more ships (the technical details you provided in this thread made me think you might have access to these kind of documents), but if you were, and you could share them, I could easily turn them into 3D models. Cordiali saluti.
