So, there is a number of hints of what is coming next.

 

1. Next arc - UK DDs

2. CV rework by the end of the year

3. RU BBs?

 

Did I get it right? Anyone picked up something else?

 

Question is where are IJN DDs - alternative line?

Umm where do you found anything about RU BB in the video?

Or it is sarcasm on "super cruiser" Stalingrad?

Not sure where you get those Soviet BBs. Seems like they planning to introduce RN DDs from Update 0.7.9 and CV rework till the end of the year. One more surprise whatever that could be.

No, there is shot of RU naval encyclopedia at 8:16 - when they refer to an additional significant surprise.

From initial teasing, it usually takes 6 months or so to appear in game any kind of ship if you look in past.

CV rework by end of the year? Dont get jebaited boys.

Russian BBs is a smokescreen (which they'll probably have together with longer lasting radar) - the surprise is that they're introducing Russian CVs along with the CV rework.

Russian battleships will be interesting.

 

very...interesting.

Presumably, they'll be an interesting study in short-willy overcompensation, given that Russia's BB history is limited, to say the least...?

I expect we'll get the WOWS equivalent of the Defender...

We PRESUME that the phrase "one class will be getting a long awaited rework" means CV.

 

Small bet on "we pandered to Russian BBaby players - Destroyers now have no smoke, are perma spotted and only have one set of torps"

Hmm it is highly unrealistic that WG will release new brunch so soon

 

Current plan leaked from WG is foloving

Spoiler

0.7.8 - new japan DD
0.7.9 - British DD
0.7.10 - British Arc (or something similar as was for US CL)
0.7.11 - CW rework


Sovet BB are planed on 0.8.3 or 0.8.4 (spring next year)
Italian CA are planed on 0.8.9 (autumn next year)

I gues I must be crazy then.:cap_book:

 

But in all seriousness, I read somewhere (please correct me if I'm wrong) that Zara (which I assume would be somewhere around T6-8) had similar armour to Des Moines, which got me thinking we could be in for a tech tree of fast heavy cruisers with accurate, flat-arcing, short-ranged guns and above-tier trollish armour. Sounds amusing, right?:cap_haloween:

Nah, smoke and radar are old news.

 

Instead the Glorious (paper) Battleships of the Soviet Motherland will have a different, new gimmicks; AP overpens (even to superstructure) causes flooding.

Russian CV's Gimmick will be super-heal, 60mm plating, secondaries and Fighters than can set fires on ships by straving

 

Balans, da Komrad?

say da!

Well, the Royal Navy DD's are a long awaited development as currently we only have cruisers and battleships, where are out aircraft carriers, destroyers and battlecruisers 

Where are the T9 and T10 Japanese alternate line DD's that we have been promised 

Why are we getting Russian battleships in the game as the Soviets never built any battleships at all, they even struggled to build cruisers 

Italian cruisers and destroyers would be nice to see as well 

Why are WG concentrating on bringing content to what was essentially after the end of the Great War until the mid 1960's a minor naval power, it would be better if they introduced some of the other great ships that were available for other European and South American countries first

For the same reason we get zillions of Russian vehicles that we don't need in WOT - overcompensation. Large chunks of WG's customer base struggle to cope with the notion that the Rodina was ever anything but a globe-straddling colossus in all things...

And prevent WG from making ez $$$ by introducing another braindead class into the game? I highly doubt that. :P

Can't be a "massive nerf and ruin"(sic) if Fem likes it, seeing as she's a CV main.

Isn't Fem working for WG these days though? :Smile-_tongue:

 

In all seriousness, that is reassuring, but I also think that she has stated that (some) CV players might not like the rework.
