  • BC as a BB :cap_like:
  • Tier VI :cap_like:
  • now we need to know how they balance them (superior dispersion?, good rudder shift + concealment?, reload booster?)

A description in a few sentences please?

 

Don't know much about the ship... but having several T6/T7 premiums I am not interested in getting it, but rather curious about its "gimmick"...

6 guns

19 km range

low armor but 54.000 HP

Will play like Champagne

I think these are all the things they said so far about the ship

Fast, hard hitting, but extremely fragile.

They said accurate QE 281mm guns with 19.8km range I think

 

Should be 381mm guns as that is what the QE has...

I hope they do not give them inferior bow plating. One should at least be able to angle with them.

Not *that* fragile. Unless they've done it deliberately by mucking around with the plating (in which case, don't be a bore, WG - the upper belt is weakness enough). Overall armour scheme is somewhere between Dunkerque (main belt) and Hood (main deck/citadel deck plating).  The interesting thing will be whether they've chose the Warspite or QE as the gunnery template (the former, I would hope, for a mid-tier Georgia style of play).

That superstructure looks like an oversized HE magnet similar to that on Queen Elizabeth. Regardless of its accuracy with only 6 guns it doesnt look like it will up tier well unless Wargaming adds some decent deck armor to mitigate those 381 and 406mm shells.

It is unlikely she gets better plating that QE. But that is ok.

Wasn't the big news WG will stop team damage?

 

Shows again that the next premium ship(-s) is much more important to the general player than a system fix or another change.

Whut???

It means Kitakami is coming?

Unfortunately she's got 16mm of plating rather than the normal 26mm according to what was said on the livestream.

Why Repulse for T6?

 

Renown with it's modernized AA (Very similar to B-Hull QE) would be a faaar better fit.

Oh, so she's a dead-on-arrival don't bother then, cool.

The ship noone purchased? Would have thought that WG would have noticed that...

I hope they will change that. Even Kongo has 19mm on Tier V as a BC. Amagi also has the standard bow playting and these are ships with a full gun layout.

Repulse has already to sacrifice gunpower and belt armor for her speed.

I hope it is like Hood in that while it is a large target it has good gun angles so can keep well angled, if they keep the 16mm plating that would essentially remove all it's tanking ability as angling would be fairly pointless...
