British T10? cruiser Plymouth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

British Cruiser is Tier 10

French BB at Tier 7, Dunkerque with MBRB

German T9 DD, Z44, Torp boat 12km torps, with no hydro

 

They said Dev blog will be up later today which should cover them in better detail

[Verblonde]

Ooo, a new DD? Yay! Hope they don't pull another 'Z-35' though.

 

BTW 10 points for the person who comes up with the most entertaining finishing word for 'Mysore...' (because I'm feeling a bit puerile this afternoon).

Might not be the best omen, but in Finnish this name means "I stink".

Hizen. Named for Hizen province

[The_White_Whale]

The British cruiser looks to be a semi modernised Town/Crown, Not sure how they are planning on making that T10 without giving it smoke, HE and radar at the same time ala original Belfast.

Smoke, and radar, yes, no HE.

That makes much more sense.

Since Google Translater said that Haisen translated from Japanese to English would mean wiring

So it is named for the Province Hizen

The only  similar sounding word that makes any lick of sense actually. They didn't spell it out, but I'm sure I got the name right.

Plymouth sounds beastly. 
 Of course, it could have a 10s reload.

No HE can be a issue though, as any RN CL player can attest to..

Then I'm very skeptical on the ship being a T10, the Mino is already at the bottom of average damages and that has many more torpedoes and more than double the DPM of any of the Town/Crown variants in game. A T10 with 300k AP only DPM would be struggling to brawl with DDs.

[x_scheer109_x]

Great and another Z-23 clone. Somebody really thought about that ...

 

Apart from the Strasbourg no interesting ship there...

Remember they don't want to make her OP either..

[pudelosha]

I hope T9 Jerry will be available for coal or free XP.

[fumtu]

Plymouth will have both smoke and 9km radar (just why WG?), standard heal and hydro, all on separate slots, 7.5sec reload, only AP, 14.something range. Its AA would not be great (like that means much)

 

Mysore and Strasbourg look interesting, Mysore will be in Commonwealth tree.

It is literally an Edinburgh with 4x4 instead of 4x3 152mm guns

True, and after the belfast definetly a concern... But you could Div a radar Mino with any smoke ship and do the same role with double the DPM and 3x the torps. Just thinking that it might become the mother of all gimmick boats in order to cram the ship in at T10. Off the top of my head it could only keep pace with a non MBRB Henri and that's ignoring the sizable pen difference.

Yeah, not seeing this ship as a T10. It's a bad Belfast. Just Div a radar Mino with any smoke boat instead.

You quoted just as I was quoting you so sorry for any messy editing! Didn't see the 4x4 layout, which is kind of historical nonsense but Hey-ho. So that brings the DPM up to ~375k? Yeah, I will still Take Minos 600k+ superheal + torps.

Its apparently a torp focussed DD
2x 5 torps
85 second reload
12km range
No hydro

[Karasu_Browarszky]

This is battleship Hizen (ex-Retvizan).

 

Retvizan is the Russian spelling of Rättvisan.

Nevertheless it remains a Type 1936 Destroyer of which we already have 3 in the game...

Hope Hizen won't be a Japanese Pommern with low sigma.

Well they have to balance 4x3 41cm guns somehow..

I don't see the torp tubes. Did you see any?

[Rhineheart_Thor]

INS Mysore C60, has a very interesting War history, as in getting hold / capturing, one of the 1st Enigma Machines, under her original name HMS Nigeria 60 ( Fiji Class cruiser ) 

 

A ship with a 45 year service record, Interesting choice.

 

Note the 51mm deck amour
