ST, German cruiser Siegfried, tier IX

 

Siegfried has a very large caliber even within the range of other large cruisers - 380 mm. Despite the fact that the ship has only 6 guns, it is more than enough considering their accuracy, which is an unusual trait for large cruisers. 

In addition to that, this German Vessel is equipped with a special Hydroacoustic search, increased penetration HE shells and good armor capable of "tanking" enemy shells.

ST, Pan-European destroyer Friesland, tier IX

 

Friesland - a support destroyer with an unusual set of consumables and weapons. Due to the long-lasting Smoke, Hydroacoustic search, Defensive AA fire and high damage per minute provided by the fast reload time of the main battery, the ship will be able to support an attack on the flank or provide cover in case of retreat.

Main battery - 2x2 120 mm. Firing range - 12.3 km. Maximum HE shell damage – 1750. Chance to cause fire – 8%. Maximum AP shell damage - 2100. Reload time - 1.8 s. 180 degree turn time - 7.2 s. Maximum dispersion - 108 м. HE initial velocity - 825 m/s. AP initial velocity - 825 m/s. Sigma – 2.00.

 

AA defense: 6x1 40.0 mm. 2x2 120.0 mm.

AA defense mid-range: number of explosions in a salvo - 8, damage within an explosion - 1120, continuous damage per second - 410, hit probability - 97 %, action zone 1.0-3.5 km;

AA defense long-range: number of explosions in a salvo - 6, damage within an explosion - 1820, continuous damage per second - 274, hit probability - 97 %, action zone 3.5-6.0 km;

Maximum speed - 36 kt. Turning circle radius - 620 m. Rudder shift time – 4.0 s. Surface detectability – 8.2 km. Air detectability – 2.9 km. Detectability after firing main guns in smoke – 3.0 km.

 

Available consumables:

1 slot- Damage Control Party;

2 slot - Smoke Generator (action time: 30 s; dispersion time: 127 s)

3 slot - Defensive AA fire;

4 slot - Hydroacoustic Search.

 

 

Friesland will be tested in the Polish nation and then moved to the Pan-European nation.

ST, British carrier Ark  Royal, tier VI

 

Bombers and torpedo bombers of this British aircraft carrier are inferior in hit points to their classmates, which is compensated for by the large size of the squadrons. Despite a large number of aircraft in the squadron, you must carefully choose your target for attack and not forget about the small number of hit points.

 

Hit points – 44500. Plating - 19 mm.

 

Secondary Armament: 8x2 113 mm.

 

AA defense: 8x4 12.7 mm. 6x8 40 mm. 8x2 113 mm.

 

Maximum speed - 31 kt. Turning circle radius - 990 m. Rudder shift time – 12.8 s. Surface detectability – 14.4 km. Air detectability – 11.8 km.

 

Aircraft:

Attack aircraft

Hit points - 1245, maximum speed - 161.0 knots, size of attacking flight - 3, aircraft per squadron - 9, aircraft restoration time - 48 s, detectability range - 10 km, number of aircrafton deck - 14.
Rockets in playload - 4, maximum rocket damage - 1500, armor penetration - 26 mm, chance to cause fire – 5 %.

Torpedo bombers

Hit points - 1110, maximum speed - 132.0 knots, size of attacking flight - 3, aircraft per squadron - 6, aircraft restoration time - 81 s, detectability range - 10 km, number of aircrafton deck - 9.
Torpedoes in playload - 1, maximum torpedo damage - 5200, aerial speed - 35 knots, torpedo range - 2 km, torpedo arming distance 329 m.

Dive bombers

Hit points - 990, maximum speed - 133.0 knots, size of attacking flight - 3, aircraft per squadron - 9, aircraft restoration time - 56 s, detectability range - 10 km, number of aircrafton deck - 14.
Bombs in playload - 12, bomb type - HE, maximum bomb dammage - 2300.0, armor penetration - 18 mm, chance to cause fire – 9 %.

i really want the Friesland because i every so often have to use the bucket of rust* you can see below.

 

 

*its not actually a bucket of rust though its getting old.

 

cool pick of the wows Friesland.

How will this ship actually work? Will it be another neustrashimy but without torps?

 

I find it hard to see how this ship will be effective unless those guns have a really high refire rate but happy the dutch finally get a ship of their own :)

With a reload of 1.8 before modules or captain skills and without torpedoes its just going to be a smoke camping HE spamming bast*rd which is just what i want for when i feel trollish.

But its not even in supertesting yet so its going to change at least thrice over.

 

When i think of it this thing would need to out-dakka the harugumo to be viable since it lacks torps and obviously the torpedo reload booster but i am grateful that so far it wont have a mediocre reload just so WG can tack on the reload booster.

As a dutchman and someone who lives in the province of Friesland this makes me excited for this ship.

[Astolfo_Is_My_Waifu]

I was fairly confident after comparing the teased silhouette to that of the Friesland and Holland classes that the DD was a Holland class DD, yet here it is D812 of the Friesland class. Very confusing.

 

I used the following references;

 

 

To create silhouettes for the following gifs;

 

Friesland Class

In this comparison, the mast is not aligned, the rear turret appears to be further from the stern than the silhouette and what might be a stabiliser fin on the underside is absent.

 

Holland Class

Compared to the Holland class, the the underside fin/sensor is present, the mast is more accurately aligned, the turrets are more accurately aligned.

 

I think it appears more likely that the Holland class' profile fits the teaser more closely than the Friesland. This makes me curious as to whether the teaser is a mistake, whether the ship is actually a Holland class or if I am missing something.

 

The 3D model is most definitely a Friesland class.

 

@Crysantos@MrConway I'm curious of your thoughts on this?

So. Watching the Russian stream on Twich this afternoon, the last two of the clouds, the missing lynx has announced @ last. 

Namely:

1 - IJN Hayate. Tier 10 Japanese DD which as they said, not(!!) a Super Shimakaze but an universal platform. Kinda.

2 - HMS Thunderer. Tier 10 RN BB. The HMS Conqueror sister to be, with some different armament(?).

 

The questions are now, what are the (current) stats of these two? 

We are looking forward to your reply WG!  ;)

Oh well. Disregard. We've already got the answer in the "ST NEW SHIPS" section...thnx WG !! ;)

Probably going to end up getting the Siegfried just for the Wagner memes.
