 6. What branch and nation will be released next?
A. As I said before, next branch will be German BB's.

 

seems pretty clear to me

 

and remember

 

[von_chom]

as far as I remember , KM BBs were always scheduled before RN CA, or am I mistaking ?

[BlueMoon51]

I agree new content is good I have no issues with adding the German BB's indeed I'm looking forward to them. My issue is that WG are outright lying time and time again in regards to what is being added and when given that at the very start during Alpha WG said that the RN would be introduced either on full release or just afterwards they have then been pushed back and back and much of the content without so much as a hay guys sorry we misled you................ and the video of which they speak also said that there would be four lines added this year.......... by mid Aug if we are lucky we will have 2 and I'm willing to bet that atleast one of the others is another Russian line so the WG statement that they where working on the RN Cruisers towards the end of last year again........... seems to be stretching the truth.

I hoped for RN CA/CL's being released this summer. I fear that I might actually drop from the game until 2017.

In January, it was said the RN (as in Royal Navy) were the first nation to be added in 2016... You can expect the surprise on many faces when we were presented with a trailer for that other RN (the Russian Navy) in March. However, they (WG) covered themselves in, saying: "When it comes to a new national tech-tree being added, the British/Royal Navy is currently planned next. It's not decided yet it if will come with multiple branches. That doesn't mean however that existing tech trees may have additional branches added first.".

 

Which means it's entirely possible to see Russian Carriers before the first Royal Navy techtree ships... let alone Italian or French Navy.

Hi guys.

There is something bugging me the last few days.

 

Carnotzet is doing an invaluable job for the EU community and gets nothing in return.

He is even trying to improve his method by asking us!

 

A "Community Contributor" acknowledgement would be very nice but is it possible for something extra too?

I believe that his effort should be rewarded in some form and was thinking that it would be very cool if we could all chip in and gift him a nice premium ship...

 

What do you guys think? Is it possible?

 

 

Yes, why not?!

You're a reasonable person with a good feel for the company and the game, given that they are now talking about German BB's in August don't you think the likelihood of a RN line in 2016 is now pretty unlikely(when you consider we have only has 3 lines(and 2 of those where at the same time! added in 8 months)

Who am I? I'm just a nobody from Belgium (a country invented so the UK, France, Holland & Germany would have a playground to settle their differences ), and WG works in many mysterious ways which make it very hard, or nearly impossible to gauge them. I expect the RN to come in 2016, albeit it would be very late (maybe December). In the screenshots of some video's, you could see they're working on the models of them, so progress is being made. But this "pushing back" by the RN is fueling the fire of the rumours that are surrounding the RN, that WG/Lesta underestimated the sheer volume of ships to chose from (there are many classes of Cruisers, and some classes even have distinct subclasses, and each of those subclasses have unique refits), maybe combined with the rumours that the British Musea (and Admiralty?) are more reluctant to cooperate with WG than they expected. And in those musea are the plans for those ships.

I thought it was well known that RN ships wouldn't come this year. If I recall correctly, a month or two ago, a developer said they will release Soviet cruisers and German BB's this year and that the first RN branch will come at the beginning of 2017. I must say I'm a bit surprised by people's reaction here. I know the RN tree is eagerly awaited like the second coming of Christ but WG won't suddenly release RN ships out of the blue. I'm also awaiting RN ships but as long as we get new content, I don't really care what nation it is.

Anyhow, when RN ships are released eventually, people will lose their crapbecause they won't be performing as well as they think they would.

Don't be, it's the 'RN NAO or game is doomed' squad doing their usual. 

[Risalan]

didn't they say before the German battleships were going to be released in line with Gamescon? that's mid Q3 isnt it?

 

overall it looks the British are getting snubbed once again... no suprises there I guess

Last year WG give some Tirptiz as reward at Gamescon, before they sold she. This year problably will present the KM BBs at Gamescon and be in the game for test purposes until final release.

Well, considering that WG said RN when they previously used the English abbreviations for fleets, it's somewhat weird that they meant Russian Navy instead of Royal Navy.

 

Personally, I am just a little disappointed that we're not getting a new shipline until August. That's five months.

[MrFingers]

I thought it was well known that RN ships wouldn't come this year.

In the 2016-roadplan video, it was said that

were scheduled. That means the German Battleships, the Russian Cruisers, and two "mystery additions". I think it's doubtful that they'll invent a Russian Battleship- or Carrier branch in time, the same applies for the German Carrier branch. German Destroyers are plausible. That leaves us with one branch not accounted for, and with word that the Royal Navy would be the next new country to be added, it's not that far-fetched to guesstimate that that fourth branch would be the Royal Navy Cruisers. There is also the stub of the Pan-Asian collection, but I doubt we'll see some Thai or Chinese Coastal Defense vessels, or obsolete Cruisers. And the Australian Navy sailed with British-designed material. So it would make sense to design the British material first.

I'm with MrFingers that my best guess would be the back end of 2016 for RN cruisers.  They did say early on in the year that we would get 4 lines this year but it is starting to look like 3 is more likely, unless they release 2 at the same time.  As a British man I do really want to see RN ships arriving but as a predominantly BB player the fact that the next line will be a battleship lines gets a definite thumbs up from me.

 

EDIT:  As always big thanks to Carnotzet for all of the time you spend doing this translation.  As for how you divide up the questions, and it probably is a little late, but you should do whatever suits you best.  If you have a few spare minutes and can only do 2-3 questions then that is fine, and if you wish to actually play the game and do no translation for a bit then that is fine too.  Your contribution to this community is huge but it should always be done in a way that suits you.

That DOES NOT imply Royal Navy is coming this year, it ONLY IMPLIES Royal Navy is the next country to be added, and also explicitly mentions that adding other lines to existing countries will occur as we all knew GE BB's are expected to come around Gamescon.

Exactly, nothing more than conjecture. 

[Kurbain]

I guess when they said "RN" they meant the Russian Navy all along. 

 

Could be that they are delaying the launch of the Royal Navy on purpose? It's one of the most requested branches and maybe they are worried that players won't have anything to look forward to once the branch is released and will be less motivated to continue playing.

Shouldn't be an issue, though, since the Royal Navy will probably be released one class at a time.

[Takru]

Well, we got VMF Cruisers end of March, KM BBs mid-August. Then we've got 4 months left this year. AFAIK they said they want to release four branches this year. Do they still consider that plausible?

[Historynerd]

Call me egocentric, but I do hope that this won't mean that we'll end up seeing the MN and the RM (even if in premium form) in 2018... If the RN starts slipping, the subsequent nations might slip as well further far away. 

[Vanhal]

I'm wondering this too. The answer is kinda obvious: no. Most probably we will get only two lines this year. Now i don't care if RN is this year or next, but i must say this slow pace is worrying me.

Actually, that quote says that RN is next and that DOESNT mean that new branches for other nations may come before!

Guess they forgot to say doesnt mean that new branches for other nations may not come before... typo or whatever, but if someone saw that text, it does mean that NOTHING will come before RN does.

Well there were interviews were WG was asked about the RN (CA line to specific if i recall right). With WG employees comenenting they cant say anything exept they will be good. So we can asume they are allready have resorces at modeling at least.  Mayhaps some prem coming up pre release (pure speculation), Id rather not retrrain my warspite captain for CA if i can help.

Typo's happen. Doesn't change the point. I am 99.9% certain in one of the follow up Q&A's it was clarified that it was a typo but I am to lazy to go search and employ the 'GIB RN NOA' squad to do their own homework. 

[Xerkics]

In the what they have planned for 2016 video they were talking about German bb first and that they are considering either British or Australian navy with either being just as likely to be introduced from what they sounded like which suggests Royal Navy is not even close to being done.

[Ragweek]

As someone that has no interest in plating the RN CA/BB. I can say this is an absolutely diabolical state of affairs to run a world leading gaming company at best. At worse its dam right insulting.

 

Its just been a sham from the RN prem DD release to coincide with its anniversary, to the RN is next blah blah blah.

 

Yes I know it is a Russian company with a lot a players in Russia. However I'm willing to bet the the other zones of pay in total more into the game!

 

I'm not even going to go into historical vs paper ships as it has been covered by so many people but this came covers a timeline over both world wars. At points in that line that RN was the most powerful navy in the world.

 

I must state that there are a lot of people seem to hate the RN "fan boys" as there called (may as well kick them in the teeth)

 

Looking forward to seeing what the "Russian pride" comes up with next.
