Sunleader Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 5,710 posts 13,400 battles Report post #1 Posted February 15, 2021 I mean. Lets face it. Shinano is basicly the most Obvious Choice for a T10 Premium Aircraft Carrier on Japanese Side. And given that WG seems to be working on T10 Freemium/Steel/RP Carriers. It is almost Guaranteed that we will See Shinano at some Point. The only Question is. When will we be getting it ? ^^ @MrConway @Sehales Any Hints or Ideas you could give us on that ? ^^ I mean. Come on. You cant Admit it. Thats already Planned somewhere in the Long Achieve of Ships your Design Team has to Model sooner or later anyways right ^^ After all. Even tough it was never Finished and got Sunk by a Submarine before it could Change to a Different Port for Outfitting. That Ship was basicly already Afloat and even Commissioned. There is just no way this one you guys would Ignore this one is there ? ^^ Also. It would make for a Pretty Interesting one I think. Due to how Finished the Yamato Hull it was Build on already was. It had a very Limited Aircraft Capacity. Which means. It will be a very Armored Carrier with fewer Aircraft. As a T10 Freemium that might mean. That we will see either Smaller Squadrons of very Fast Aircraft. Or Smaller Squadrons of very Strong Squadrons. The Strong in terms of Super Armored Squadrons is something we already got. So maybe Small but Strong Suqadrons in terms of having much higher Alpha Damage output ? ^^ 10 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes. As I already noted. Due to the Battleship Hull. Already being in a very advanced State. She was very Armored and had very limited Space inside. She was Projected to only be Capable of Carrying 47 Aircraft. (For Comparisson. Kaga carried 90) So she was relegated to be a Support Carrier. In the Game however. This is next to Irrelevant.

[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 4,158 posts 25,223 battles Report post #5 Posted February 15, 2021 Considering her hull was that of a Yamato class its surprised me that WG have not been tempted to put her in game as at least part of the work of building the model has already been done. On a personal note I hope they add her she was a beautiful ship. I have no doubt she will in time given their current enthusiasm for high tier ships, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up for anything beyond the usual Soon™.

[MORIA] Johnny_Moneto Beta Tester 2,903 posts 22,225 battles Report post #9 Posted February 16, 2021 Give her better citadel protection compared to Yamato, so we can take her to the middle of the map. A damage absorbing, possibly cap contesting ship with a few planes on top. Maybe add hydro. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[RONIN] 22cm Beta Tester 6,377 posts 36,662 battles Report post #17 Posted February 16, 2021 Shinano was a BB reconverted as CV. It was more of a plane transporter than a CV. It did not retain the full armor of Yamato. And was badly designed for a CV. As such, it could transport a large number of planes in storage (120), but could only operate a small number (40). Could not acces planes in storage in a battle. Comparatively, Shokaku could operate 72 planes. Big but bad CV, small number of planes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( cause humans be stupid) Need to make a gold version, that is actually nice with a few minor cosmetic differences and idk faster planes with less damage so people can feel important while playing her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think WG should strive for particular historical accuracy on this one. Wait until the subs are introduced, bring this in and make sure it always spawns right in front of an enemy sub.
