Or it could be Canada, or another Commonwealth state, because of the synergy with the Royal Navy.

We know that the next line will be German battleships, and the one after that likely RN cruisers.

The Battle of Jutland? So which ship you guess?

More likely an odd premium ship that technically introduces a new nation to the game. I think that France or Italy are not "unexpected enough" to fit the description.

Plans about new nations, trees and premium ships. On Saturday, developer JamesWhite appeared on Wargaming FM, where he said among other things: Source: http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?/topic/55430-%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9-%D0%BF%D0%BE-%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%BC-%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BC-%D0%B8-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BC/ 1. The development of the next tree (German battleships ?) is nearing completion. The modeling of a second tree (British cruisers ?) has been finished and the models are being tuned. The modeling a third tree has begun. The release of the third tree is planned for december, but may be postponed by 1-2 months. 2. The next nation represented in the game will be very unexpected, but definitely not the Italians, on which no work except collecting preliminary material has been done. 3. A premium German battleships of tier 4 is ready. How and when it will be made available is yet unclear. 4. The premium battleship USS Arizona will appear soon. 5. The cruiser IJN Katori will be distributed in partner bundles (Italeri). 6. There will be a German premium ship of tier 6. 7. There will be a French or an Italian premium ship this year. 8. The cruiser IJN Tone will probably not appear this year, and the game mechanics of its plane squadron is not decided. 9. The cruiser USS Salt Lake City (a Pensacola with torpedoes) has not been planed, the ship is not ready. 10. The destroyer USS Sims (open beta tier 7 ship) will be back on sales. 11. The will be no unique Japanese premium battleships or cruisers of tier 5-7 this year, but sister ships may appear. 12. The Russian cruiser Red Krimea will be distributed via a new Project R, which is planned for the second half of June.

If the release of a single RN ship causes this much controversy and debate then what would a complete tree do to this community?

There is little new in the recent getfun digest: Source: So I will be brief. He talks about the end of team battles season on June 1st and the start of the ranked battles soon. Ranked battles and team battles will not be on at the same time. 1. The guy (on the RU forum?) who discovered that the 5th level Concealment perk now does not apply to gunfire, AA and fires received the USS Texas as a gift. This information was missing in the 0.5.6 patch notes. 2. The developers claim that boting is not as widely spread as players tend to believe. After having analyzed player behavior and bot complains they say that most reported bots are actually (talented) humans. 3. Finally, 18 notorious AFK players from the RU server got a two week ban.

USS Texas - the best prem in shop

ToYamatos everywhere. Fixed it for you!

Why do you need an exclusive flag with no game bonuses. WTF!?

So he was talking about global stats? Do global stats tell us that Russian ships are overpowered?

Welp is nice..but to you point. Who told you that the role of destroyers is to fight other destroyers? The Japanese destroyers are battleships killers, on any tier. My highest damage game was in Fujin and my highest experience game was in Fubuki. Yes, the 5th level perk is essential, but so it is for carriers. Anyway, I like the Russian destroyers least. Am I alone?

I already regret having started this conversation. As much as I want more ships and better balance, I am quite happy with what we have now and what has been promised in the future. See you in the evening...

Best in terms of global performance stats? Or personal experience? Not for me. For me the best destroyers are the Japanese, followed by the American, followed at a huge distance by the Russian. Cruisers, best are the Japanese, followed by the German, followed by the Russian and American. To be honest: I like the Russian ships least of all in this game. So?

Or, rather, to sell the game to the Russian audience? As of today, we have eleven full branches, plus three more nations without a complete branch yet. Of those eleven branches, two are Russian, which puts the saturation at just over 18 percent of the total content. I would say: OK. You want Russian ships to suck on some dubious historical bases? Seriously? Why would I want any ships to suck in game, whose appeal to me lies in unlocking and trying all ships.

What exactly is this rant about? Russian navy being released before Royal Navy? Russian ships being overpowered? Being too nice? Being released too early? Russian tree having many paper ships? What?

Sure?

..this will not be possible anymore. My reading of patch notes.

Yes you could!!! This means that you can now set the attack template only once!! Otherwise this would be no change to status quo.

There is a much worse CV nerf forthcoming, and nobody appears to notice. This: Disabled the possibility of moving the discharge point for squadrons after the start of the attack is the end of accurate torping and bombing. PERIOD. The AA buff is nothing compared to this.

The desire for Cambeltown has transcended all reason and became raw emotion.

If we get the Cambeltown in the shop tomorrow, it cannot be the ultimate secret Grand Naval Battles reward.

My thoughts exactly, but who knows what !?

From the two recent videos by getfun: Source: He talks about brown players having been sighted on the RU server. The only new information pertains to the possible awards for the forthcoming ranked games seasons, which have been recovered from the client. These include flags, sets of flags and, for the first time, amounts of doubloons. The developers have not countered the rumor, but said that additions to the client may or may not be activated in future. Source: A developer WellDone gave an interview on a fan cite, in which he mentioned many interesting technical details about the game. Note that the majority of these has been voiced by other developers before. 1. Resolution of penetrations is currently done server side. They are working on a client-based solution for resolving damage. 2. They don't plan to add aiming bloom that would increase accuracy when continuously holding aim on target as in tanks. They are, however, discussing dynamic accuracy concepts for battleships. 3. They are thinking of new randomization concepts for penetrations, fires and AA plane kills. 4. The nerf of Japanese destroyers has had a positive effect on gameplay. 5. In the near future the developers will be focusing on improving higher tiers gameplay. Considerable repair cost reductions are very likely. 6. The introduction of premium (gold) ammunition such as in tanks is very unlikely. 7. The Imperator Nikolai will never come back due to being over powered. They are also reluctant to reintroduce the Kitakami. The most successful premium ship in terms of the balance is the Tirpitz, which can show good results even in the hands of novice players. 8. The issue of an equipment stash is still open. 9. A redesign of captains is forthcoming. There will be progress beyond the 19th skill point. 10. The issue of fail divisions is being looked in. A solution for higher tiers may be coming soon. 11. The new match-making engine is almost finished. No details. 12. Future ranked battles will have better match-making, voice over facility and specific achievements.
