YAK9UTPRO Players 129 posts 625 battles Report post #1 Posted September 17, 2015 i was wondering what BBs will WG make for USSR and i gave a look on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:World_War_II_battleships_of_the_Soviet_Union so their max guns are 12 inches and only https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Royal_Sovereign_(05) HMS Royal Sovereign (05) had 15 inch guns which was british not russian so what i expect is WG making planed ships like montana and the tier X IJN CV which were never built and i don't have any idea what the outcome will be. What do you think they will do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NAN0] kiteohatto Players 253 posts 1,986 battles Report post #2 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Paper ships, paper ships everywhere. 12" guns yeah....but look at those 17" torps lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_battleship_Petropavlovsk_%281911%29 And from what blueprints i can find they all have nice turret layout, with at least 1 if not 2 turrets being a free 360. Look around though http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/ships/ Edited September 17, 2015 by kiteohatto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is Sovjetsky Soyuz ... but in overall I expect nothing short of armor in the order of several kilometer thickness and made out of paper.

Stangeby Beta Tester 37 posts 2,941 battles Report post #6 Posted September 17, 2015 I remember back in hearts if iron 3 beta there was complaints about navy of USSR being crap and only subs. A dev posted some statistics about their navy recived so little funding so they could only afford to build a fleet of smallest ships. Think they had like 300 subs or so.

[KONI] Getzamatic Players 442 posts 5,871 battles Report post #7 Posted September 17, 2015 Not sure what they'll do for tier III, but the Ganguts or Imperatritsa Mariyas would suit tier IV, the Imperator Nikolai I could go in tier V and the Izmails could go in tier VI. Then you could put the Kronshtadts at tier VII and there was an Imperial Russian design with 9 x 3 16" guns that could go in tier VIII but I've no idea what you'd do with IX before hitting the Sovetsky Soyuz at tier X. Of course, out of all these ships, only the Ganguts and Imperatritsa Mariyas were ever completed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister_Greek Supertester 1,046 posts 4,551 battles Report post #10 Posted September 17, 2015 RU BB are considered as an idea but its not on the table at this point. Even if it was,it would take at least two years to find the right candidates,model the ships,prepare the stats etc,etc, You will have to wait a long time bro,a line can take about roughly 2 years to create... Same situation is probably true with the RU CV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, out of all these ships, only the Ganguts and Imperatritsa Mariyas were ever completed. Sovetsky Soyuz isn't a suitable candidate for tier 10. 9 16 inchers would be wholly underpowered compared to Yamato, Montana and H41, and probably also L3 (since it is the presumed TX BB for the British). She is however a very suitable tier 9, being effectively the same as both Iowa and Izumo in terms of arms and armour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr3awsome Alpha Tester 3,769 posts 58 battles Report post #13 Posted September 18, 2015 9 16" would be fine at tier 10, provided its other stats are competitive. As for the Russian tier X BB, Project 24 (basically Project 23 Sovetsky Soyuz modified from war experience, in up to 13 different forms) The Russians have enough projects for an entire line, if not more.

Gave to Russia as a war prize, renamed "Novorossiysk", was the most modern battleship they had ever own.They made also some works on it (Radar and AA) so was a bit different from Giulio Cesare in 1937 version.

Sovetsky Soyuzs would have had protection on a similar scale to the Yamatos - perhaps even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ST-EU] Admiral_noodle Supertest Coordinator 6,337 posts 4,395 battles Report post #24 Posted September 18, 2015 I play victory at sea (with little model ships) and there is a whole soviet fleet. Gangut is an appalling ship but Sovetsky Soyuz is excellent. It's important to have Russia in the game given the player base, but I too want to see Germany, RN and Italy more than anything. France would be fun too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[GOUF] RambaRal Beta Tester 337 posts 7,140 battles Report post #25 Posted September 18, 2015 -snip snip- France would be fun too. France will be the last of the announced nations because of the extra work for the filter that turns white every flag mounted. Italy on the other hand, will introduce intersting gameplay with the racial ability of adding points to the opposite team when capping.
