Yes, that is true, Tone carried only reconnaissance planes, just like (almost) every other cruiser from that time. For example all USN cruisers also carried reconnaissance planes and yet, in the game they are using fighter consumable. This is a game and some things could be "changed" for game purpose. Unless WG make some special kind of spotter plane for Tone, putting only standard spotter plane would seems somewhat inadequate or as wasted opportunity. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't have something more then just spotter planes. In the end Aichi E13A could carry a 250kg of bombs. But as with new planes mechanic it would not be easy to implement some attack option for the planes, this could be changed instead to fighter consumables.

Which is exactly the point. Radar in WoWs is a consumable used for balance (or inbalance on some ships), its availability on ships is not based on some historic accuracy. NO is RL had a radar, in game NO had radar when she was T8 but lost it once moved to T7. Basically all T8+ ships, majority T7 and lot of T6 should have radar just because their RL counterparts had them. OP reasoning that just because GS, or any other German ships, had radar in RL that it should has it in the game is pointless.

So ... just because some ship historically had radar doesn't mean that it should automatically get radar in game. Mahan had radar, Jervis had radar, NO had radar, Pepsi had radar, Helena and Fletcher had two types of radar .... well you can see where this is going. I think that we already have plenty of radar ships and the last thing we currently need is more of them.

I was talking generally. There is a lot of people that want to add attack planes to Tone. I never said that you said that. I was agreeing with you about Tone having only fighter and spotter planes.

This. I don't see how it could be implemented with attack squadron, considering current CV and planes controls. IMO both fighter and spotter plane consumable would be the best way to go. Unless of course WG don't come up with some special spotter plane consumable just for her.

If he is using premium account his experience will be 50% higher that it really is. This mean his average experience in reality would be around 520-530.

Limiting BBs to 3 or 4 will already be a big problem, limiting them to just one is unrealistic. I think that MM, at least for high tiers should take CAs and CLs in consideration when creating teams but creating separate class, no I don't think that would be productive or even possible. Heavy cruisers basically started after ww1 and old armoured cruisers are not the same thing. Also lot of countries like Italy, Japan, Germany or Soviets would struggle to get enough ships for at least one of line. There would need to be a lot of paper and fantasy ships for this. I doubt. Only two nations could bring BC line, German and Britain. Japan have number of BC but they were already implemented in the BB line and removing them would leave gaps that won't be easy to fill. None other could bring even the half line. With new CV line with only even ships could bring more nations than BC lines. Creating a class for only two nation lines is pointless. Creating a separate branch in BB line for Germans and RN, on the other hand, is quite possible.

Yes, this. There was actual some issues about Yuudachi sinking by Portland. Some suggested that someone from Yuudachi is waving with a white flag but Portland Captain decided to sunk the ship anyway but this is never proven.

USS Portland wasn't sunk during the WW2. USS Barton is the only DD that was immediately sunk during the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal by Amatsukaze. Other three DD USN lost during the night were lost due extensive damage suffered from multiple Japanese ships. Even Atlanta was scuttled by crew because she couldn't be repaired or moved to safety before next night fall. Yuudachi is credited with several torpedo hits but she didn't sunk any ship that night.

So Yuudachi will be a T7

ST, Japanese destroyer Yudachi, tier VII. The Japanese destroyer Yudachi has been added to the game. Its stats are now configured, they will be shown later. Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary.

I think that full concealment spec Roma actually is 11.22km not 11.48km as listed.

All changed values could be find in this post on reddit It is both small buff and nerf to cruisers. While they surface detection value increased on the other hand some cruisers that were previously outspotted by BBs now are not or now are outspotted by less of them. Cruisers that currently could stealth radar, Minotaur and Chapa will be still able to do that. To me this doesn't look like something that is worth all this drama.

Wait, Japanese Torpedo Planes will be able to stealth torp a ship? WT ... Even if you need to spec for this it is still a BS

Just a reminder that site calculate Steel and Coal amount based on played ships not by ships actually in your port.

Wached this last night during the stream and it was hilarious. It is even more amazing that none of those enemy DDs didn't even try to dodge and Flamu ended with quite nice damage for such a bad ship.

Finished it on Saturday, didn't finish only two daily mission, one of them because of problems with internet. Got her coal and now she will decorate my port rarely seeing action. But still nice to have her.

StuntMan Stat Preview of HMS Exeter Gun angles, as expected, are not particularly good, 37 deg front and 40 deg back, but seems like that area covered by belt armour is only part of citadel that is above water which means citadel is way smaller then Emerald one.

Japanese cruisers usually have high fire chance. Also their captains were probably spec with DE and proper flags to increase fire chance. And finally fire resistance at T6 is not a great.

And this is mostly because major target of planes by that time were smaller coastal ships and rocket were more effective them torpedoes or bombs against them.

Well that depends on image. On this one they look quite similar

It is questionable how good will be angles on the aft turret just like front turret when firing backward. AA is nothing to brag about. Only question is how large would be citadel. If it be same as the belt armour then she could be decent I doubt WG will put her on T6 if she prove to be to good, I guess they will rather nerf her then move her one tier up. I would like her to be at T6 because that would make her viable for scenarios.

1750 of Steel 33.3k of Coal By the end of event maybe get little more of both but not much.

General? Seriously a mere General? Are you trolling us? This is a proper title and you ... not even a Marshal, just a General. I'm disappointed.

Just because Alaska is not mentioned in Upgrade bulletin doesn't mean that she won't arrive during it. And I think that she is still 'WiP'.
