[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #1 Posted September 10, 2018 HMS Sirius has turned up in the Blitz version of the game; do we know if there is any chance of getting this thing in the full version of the game? I see there's been some discussion in the past, but not recently... I would definitely like a Dido in the 'proper' game... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TDD] Dragon200052 Players 72 posts 7,289 battles Report post #3 Posted September 10, 2018 I would love to See the Dido Class of cruiser in this game though i would have thought it might have been better at T5 but even at T6 it could still be a very fun ship be it sAP only throwing that much AP could be amusing but if it had HE oh Dear how annoying that could be and with its Torpedos. Yeah i would love to see that ship in game so i do hope it comes to the game. Looking at its Blitz Consumables it has Damage control as standard but that second one is that a Repair Party i can not tell as i have not played the Blitz version.

[FK] Jellicoe1916 Beta Tester 274 posts 10,234 battles Report post #5 Posted September 10, 2018 We need a new British Premium Cruiser, Belfast was the only one and she was removed last November, its ridiculous that we still don't have another one. They could do 2 (heck 3 even) Types for the Dido's, a 5.25" and 4.5" variant. My RN Cruiser wishlist is Exeter, A county, Penelope, Charybdis and Cleopatra, a Mountbatten Pink Manchester, Newcastle (My Home town) and Jamaica would be nice too. @MrConway 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The consumables aren't really directly comparable (not all DDs get smoke for example); everything gets DC and RP (at least, so far, but I have nothing above T6 yet - I only really dabble with Blitz when I'm away from my home PC). They've also given Sirius Smoke Generator I, and Air Defence Alert II (the latter is essentially like DefAA)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[XODUS] JaiFoh Players 799 posts 4,868 battles Report post #11 Posted September 10, 2018 Dido Class would make an excellent T6 Light Cruiser i think. But we do need a new British premium Cruiser as the Belfast is no longer on sale. plenty of mid war refit options as well, such as HMS Newcastle with only 3x3 6" Guns at T7 Easy enough to do by taking the Edinburgh model and it would appease Jingles.

Still It would probably require a new model for a ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's a Russian game developed for the Russian/Asian market ...but still I don't have anything against releasing ships for other markets like SEA or South America. Dido will get into game eventually, probably more than just one. I don't like that, with removal of Belfast almost year before, one of the lines don't have a single training ship. They could with HH also release HMS Arethusa as RN premium, or any other RN cruiser. I personally don't like this flood of T9 and T10 premiums. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
