What will be the TOG2* of WoW?

[Silvercat18]

As long time players of World of Tanks will know, the TOG2* tank was a valuable source of humour in any game it appeared in. It was a silly shape, ponderously slow and prone to getting stuck in areas of strange terrain. We also had a variety of French tanks that looked a lot like a rubber duck, one that had a barn instead of a turret and some Russian tanks that looked like pancakes.

 

Humour is important, even in a game like World of Warships, so I ask those wise in the ways of naval history - What ships could be included in the game that are genuinely entertaining or silly that can lighten our day during play?

 

 

To start the ball rolling, here is a picture of the I-400 - why just have ordinary Japanese aircraft carriers when you can have one that's also a submarine!

Maybe this Ice Aircraft Carrier:

Or this NON fictional ship:

 

The HMS Lord Clive

I want a Trawler with Sherman Tanks on Deck, like some Ships on PQ17 did

 

[Vanhal]

This as premium 1st tier:

Russian pancakes of course, but they actually built two of them:

[Conte_Vincero]

HMS Agincourt, it has to be, 22 kts and 7 turrets

 

 

[VanZant]

TOG II can be also played as a submarine/BB in World of Warships

 

[SBS]

Why not just have the TOG 2 it self? After all tests have shown it can go in to the water and is big enough to classify as a ship.

My god, it looks like the designer went "I've never done a warship before, what are they like?" and the navy responded with "well, they are big and have lots of guns"

 

Also, the designer was 6 years old.

It's the best counterpart of the TOG: big, slow and with tiny guns

Well, the TOG actually has a fairly decent gun. It's just that it sits on a big pile of, I don't even know what to call it. Look at it on the bright side. You can allways use it to block a street or bridge. Heck maybe even two considering the size.

Royal Navy M-Class submarines, with a 12" gun, super low detection range

[Silvercat18]

I am loving the pancake ships and that silly submarine for sure - good suggestions everyone!

[CloakingDonkey]

we already have goofy, underpowered "fun ships" don't we? Kitakami and Yoobarry both qualify

 

[Draken193]

 

Hitorical rafts please 

[hitmanh]

Tog2? Slow and a big gun(s)?

 

You need a Roberts class monitor! 12 knots and 1 pair of 15" awesomeness.

HMS Incomparable.

 

A WW1 Fisher design with 20 inch guns and zero armour:

[Jack_Varus]

I would agree that the monitors would be a good choice. Slow, BB like HP pools and one very big gun. They'd only work at very low tiers though because they would be no match for, well, anything really. Apart from a coastal emplacement with guns too small to fire back, which is what they were designed to shoot at. The Lord Clive would be ridiculous. One main armament of an 18 inch gun and a secondary AI 12 inch turret

 

While not as insane as the M class submarine's 12 inch gun, there is always the Surcouf French submarine with two 8 inch guns, some AA and an external torpedo launcher (as well as internally mounted ones).

 

 

[beercrazy]

hate to say this but all the sub class are out due to the game not being able to do anything under the water line as wg has said many times

 

but my god they should try and do something with em due to fact so many weird and great subs available

One of my favourite pacific war submarines is the Narwhal - an oversized submarine with two huge deck guns - which it needed ... for reasons.

Six years old and made it out of lego

Just make some sort of special event or april fools where we get all the crazy subs with oversized guns, hangars and so on with out the ability to submerge. Just play them as standard ships. Who knows what they will do. They did do football, race, 8.bit and much more in WoT.

Actually thinking about it: the Corageus class large light cruisers are pretty TOG-gy, especially the HMS Furious which would have originally gotten the Lord Clive's 18" guns.

 

HMS Corageus before CV refit:

Displacement: 22.000 tons

Lenght: 240 meters

Armor: belt up to 3", deck up to 3"

Armament: 2x dual 15" guns

1930s US Navy "Flight Deck Cruiser" concept

[Qipchak]

I hope WG will make some "Cruiser submarine" as premium ship. Its like a light cruiser with few guns, low profile. Give them smoke too.

 

K-Class, Surcouf, SM U 139, or similiar. 2-4 cannons for playability needed.
