Udaloi is quite strange in that line, considering its bad concealment, yes. Still I personally believe the time has come for the T9 Prem DD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At a glance, the basic guns stats look similar... More than two minutes to reload the torps is going to be painful. Edit: same as Groz (I have the torp module on mine, so I'd forgotten that).

That. Would be a much more sensible progression. The only question then would be what WG intends to do with the Udaloi. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWGDISC (what WG did in similar cases) over in Tonks would be to turn the existing vehicle (Udaloi in this case) into a "reward" and give it to all current owners for free if they decide to replace it... here'S hoping 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it'll be that good: aren't the stats sans captain, but with best available upgrades? If so, it'll come in at around 6.3 km with CE. Mind you, I would kill for even a nerfed Groz with 5.6 km... (well, use harsh language, anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a little vague on that part of naval history It was the story of the Japanese deliberately faking the construction of some larger cruisers, so the USA would waste resources to counter non-existing ships. And when the USA actually started building these counterships (which were the Alaskas) the Japanese had to think of a way to counter ships that were designed to counter ships that were never meant to become ships in the first place. But who cares, as long as we get some new hydrophilic toys to play around in 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
