Then lower the deutchland and P to tier VIII and XI and put the D class at 10, also with 6 guns, but with 220mm armor and 8 gun 2x4 turret upgrade.

The tier 9 and 10 german cruisers should have been the deutchland and P classes respectively. The first would have massive alpha damage and powerful secondaries at the expense of pretty much everything else:speed, AA, armor, accuracy, reload( 20s). it also has 2x4 torps for knife fights. At tier 10 the P class, would be basically an upgraded deutchland with increased armor to 120mm, speed to 33kn, and maybe better relaod time(around 17-18 seconds), with only the number of torps dropping to 6. Both would have poor battleship like concealment. WG had a perfect chance to add a cruiser line with a truly unique playing style that emphasises on the german ships' qualities, but instead they opted to neuter the german tree in favor of boring conventional, and most annoyingly, entirely fictional ships. I really love when they add blueprints, but adding unicorns is extremely shitty. And dont dare say 280mm guns would be OP. The scharnhorst atm plays more like a cruiser, its guns barely penetrating other battleships. And it has 9 of them. with 6 guns, both of these "battleships" would play completely like cruisers.

I think unique ships like the opitniy and Storozhevoi(a type 7u with a ognevoy bow) should become premiums.

There are enough other soviet destroyers out there to make a second DD line. Most of them were built IRL. They would generally be more hybrid gunboats, with less guns but better torps and concealment. tier 3 Novik or Orfey- 4 guns with 2x4 or 3x3 450mm torps. . Ok so more of a gunboat than derzky. Perhaps they the torps cant be upgraded to 4km for balance. tier 4- Fidonisy- 4x1 102mm guns plus 3x4 450 torps. The second biggest torp salvo in the game after shimakaze. Would be a more torpedo oriented choice to the izyaslav tier 5- Type 7U?-basically type7 with improved powerplant survivability and 2 smokestacks. I dont know how it can be made unique tier 6- return to ognevoy tier 7- Leningrad- a leader with 5x1 130mm B-13 guns and 2x4 torps. 43kn speed making it the fastest ship ingame with the Khaba. While having noticeably less firepower than the kiev it can be made to have better concealment and 8km 53-39 torps. tier 8-skoryy- so the first DD in the tree that starts the general flavor of the these hybrid gunboats. 2x2 130mm B2-LM guns(perhaps can be upgraded to B2-Us) making it have the same firepower of ognevoy, slower speed than the Tashkent at 36-37kn, but 2x5 torps that should have long range, preferably starting from the kutuzov's 53-66 torps. It should also have lower detectability. tier 9- Neustrashimy or Kotlin. 2x2 130mm SM-2-1 dual purpose guns which should have better velocity(950m/s) ROF(preferably 3,5 second reload) and accuracy to balance having less guns than the udaloy. Still slower at 36kn but should definately have 10km< and 60kn< torps in again 2x5 launchers. Both options have poor AA with 2x4 or 4x4 25mm guns. tier 10-Project 47. A planned upgrade for the neustrashimy with 3x2 130mm SM-2-1 guns and 50mm armor. 36kn speed, better concealment than khaba and same torps as Neustrashimy .Could be a soviet gearing with worse torps but better guns. In the far future I would really like to play those destroyers.
