Austrian Flag or Ship please!

[Aethervoxx]

There is an Austro-Hungarian BB - the Viribus Unitas available for purchase - which is likely the closest we will ever see for an Austrian ship.

Also, the Tatra, an EU DD may fly the  Austro-Hungarian flag (I believe).

Unfortunately, WoWS decided to begin this game around 1900 rather than beginning around 1880 which would have allowed many more early  motor driven warships.

News flash: there are two in game already, the Viribus Unitis, and the Tatra.

I would have loved to see more K.u.K. Kriegsmarine ships. I believe that at least SMS Novara could fit as tier III or IV light cruiser of pan-European tree and I wouldn't mind at all were she a premium ship, and perhaps the Erzherzog Karl cruiser, both of which wouldn't at all fall out of timespan of their ship-class choices (battleships may be exclusively dreadnought and post, but first cruisers and destroyers are anything but).
I am a proud sailer of SMS Viribus Unitis (which lacks her four submerged torpedo launchers and seaplane compliment) and Tátra-class destroyers (one of which was named after the King of our Julian Alps, mount Triglav, so it is my headcannon that I am captaining SMS Triglav) and yes indeed you can hoist Austrian naval ensign on both of them and commandeer them with commanders with Austro-Hungarian names and proper Austro-Hungarian naval uniform with their dashing bow-ties. Since they are European commanders you can use them to command other European ships too, which I do.

There was a commemorative Viribus-Unitis flag (which was Austrian flag and on it the anchor-symbol of K.u.K. Kriegsmarine), but was available only for a limited time with purchase of SMS Viribus Unitis, forsooth! Kniving injustice, if you ask me.

We got 2 Austro-Hungarian ship in the game:

• Tátra a T2 DD in the EU tech 
• Viribus Unitis T5 Premium BB of the Tegetthoff Class

Having a specific tech three wouldnt work as the empire ended with WW1 so even with ongoing designs probably the highest would be T6 which they could fill, but WG can probably make EU cruiser and BB lines up and fill the early tiers with them. 

 

 Or if WG is being WG we can even have a proper cold war era T10 Austro-Hungarian BB  right from the "archives"

If Austria is Germany, USA is Great Britain, and every European nation is the roman = italian empire aka USA is also italian.

On a more serious note, countries that have shared history typically have a lot in common with each other. Just whose is the culture and who's been just borrowing it, and who has lost it, are some of the more intriguing questions....

 

As for the Austrian ships, would be nice to see more of them, though the tiers are kind of a limiting factor because WG sees fit to discriminate against the lower tiers, and against WW1 or pre-WW1 ships.

I will never understand why WG is so fixated only on the high tiers .. probably it has to do with the money from it T9 prem is 19k doubs , T5 is like 3k ... but T 4-6 are also pretty fun, if there is no CV to spoil it.

True true, but I also hear it often from Croats, Bosnians, Venetians, Friuli, Bohemians and Moravians, I've had Polish and Ukrainian friends who also wished the same and of course there's me, a Slovene, in ardent support of Imperial Austria. So, there's no shortage of people.

We do have a commemorative flag in the game, but WG has no interest of making it more widely available.

Anyway - I think in game should be comemorative flags of all navies or - if country had/has no navy some sort of a patch - like one for Switzerland or Czech and Slovakia.

[capt_and]

I agree the Kaiserliche und Koenigliche Kriegsmarine should be more present in the game, at least as a part of the pan-european tech tree, interesting ships from this nation include the Tegetthoff class battleships, wich although already present in the game with the SMS Viribus Unitis, a better free version of them wouldn't be bad, then we also have the never built Ersatz Monarch-class battleships and some more very interesting light/scout cruiser designs for low tier (Helgoland-class; Ersatz Zenta-class).

Also here you can find plenty of BB/BC designs made during the war for the post war fleet: http://www.viribusunitis.ca/bb-bc-pre-designs (don't know if they're true, but they look good)

 

Austro-Hungarian ships we absolutely need:

-SMS "insert appropriate name": Ersatz Monarch-class battleship; premium T5/6 BB

-SMS Radetzky: Radetzky-class semi-dreadnought battleship; premium T3 BB

-SM U-40: U-27 class submarine; premium T6 sub 

-SMS Tegetthoff: Tegetthoff-class battleship; part of a possible future pan-eu bb tech tree, for T4/5

-SMS Novara: Helgoland-class scout cruiser; part of a possible future pan-eu cruiser tech tree, for T3/4

-SMS Zenta: Zenta-class protected cruiser; part of a possible future pan-eu cruiser tech tree, for T2

 

[capt_and]

Also a little more attention for details on Viribus Unitis wouldn't be bad as rn half of its tertiary/aa battery doesn't work

I would grind this like crazy. I like Austro-Hungarian navy and shame that it's not more popular subject. 

 

Radetzky class while at first seems odd with numerous secondary 240mm guns, then we have precedent of Atlantico, which could allow to make playable most of semi-dreadnoughts.

 

I wonder about Erzherzog Karl class battleship due to their very different and small for battleship caliber of armament setup of 2*II 240mm and 12*I 190mm ( 6 per side ) Unify battery into 240mm or 190mm ( broadside of 10 190 or 240mm ) and it could be pretty interesting hybrid between armored cruiser and proper battleship in game ( I mean only as utility in game )

 

Novara from Helgoland class could have two different armament setups ( like Harekaze three hulls ) because as I remember it was planned to exchange numerous weaker 100mm guns into lesser number of more powerfull 150mm. She fits well at TIII, at TIV I would see modified Monfalcone no.68 cruiser for RoC, TV maybe Polish Dragon or Conrad as Yugoslavian Dalmacija could be not fitting even on TII ( Polish and Yugoslavian Sea Navies as successors of Austro-Hungarian Sea Navy ) Later will start Greek Elli II at TVI and Swedish Tre Kronor/Gota Lejon cruiser at TVII.

 

Salty mode on

Let me guess. Instead we get European cruisers starting from TV with bazillion/gorillion of TIX-X premiums?  WG what about removal of TI-VII and starting of game from TVIII or maybe even from TX? OFC in this situation Supershits will become constant pay to access and pay to play ships

Well, they have as much a place as the WW2 subs, neither has any place in the randoms IMO. Or if WG wants them in randoms with the idea of making the randoms some sort of a hodgepodge mode (which it largely been for years anyway...), they should give us some alternate PvP modes that could provide us with a more consistent gameplay experience. I know the issue there is that it would further divide up the playerbase, so there's probably not easy answers... apart from moving the subs off the randoms and restricting them in their own or some separate game modes, such as the Convoy.
