Please explain to me why a blue water fleet that fought in every place you can imagine in the second world war. Which this game is about. Has only One ship which you have to purchase. Is all we have. I find this very upsetting as I had relitives which were in the navy then.They Have been forgotten by this game,and it's maker shopudl be ashamed of themselves.Though this game is a great game and I relay enjoy it. I have to say. unless the Royal navy is added. Very Soon. It will be shelved and removed from my computer.

HMS Ajax

HMS Ark Royal.

HMS King George V

HMS Nelson

HMS Devonshire

To be fair he is obviously new... And while it is possible he may be trolling not everyone reads and searches when they are new to a forum so he may well not be. It seems a bit unfair to jump on him guys.. Perhaps a little more of a gentle nudge towars search may have been more appropriate?

And I would have been more helpful if he had asked nicely why it wasn't in it, rather than saying that WG should be, in his words, ashamed of not having put the RN first, and that they should "drop everything and make the RN or uninstall"

When I first joined I would say American or USA ships or Japanese ships before I learnt what IJN USN ect meant.

 

I also had Family that served in World War II ,the Falklands and in both Gulf Wars and that's not including other areas of the world ,So HMS Nelson ect is good enough for me for a new commander.

My self in my opinion it should of been the countries ships that fought against the Dictators that were  trying to take over the world.

So yes in the memory of those that Fort and Died for freedom  it would of been nice for WG to of created for use to play first and even more so The United Kingdoms fleets first since we was the only European country left alone  for years holding them back.

To be honest with you Lord_Monty64 I am sure that a few wonder Why this is.

It isn't as if we don't have Allied ships against each other.

Hell ive destroyed many USN ships in my USN ship.

 

But this is only a game to play and hopefully WG will wake up from there ways and bring out the Magnificent RN Fleet.

Good luck with the game :honoring::honoring::honoring:

Let's be honest guys, as the world's longest standing (standing in the correct sense meaning permanently commissioned and "employed") professional navy, the British Royal Navy should have been in this game from the start as a full tech tree.  If that had happened, then there would not have been any need for some of the concept-only vessels that have crept in a-la-WoT.

 

Additionally, as the RN was fighting the IJN and KM before the USN even left Pearl Harbour in WW2, and was fighting the KM before the Americans knew there was a war during WW1, the RN plus either IJN or KM SHOULD have been the opening fleets in the game.

 

As an additional thought, 10 tiers is far too limiting when we have vessels originating in the late 1800s through to the 1950s - in my opinion they should be spread across a minimum of 15 tiers (I say the same for WoT too btw).

 

WarGaming dropped the ball by not introducing the RN early, but they did the same in WoT by introducing the British lines late.  However, we should remember that the Western timelines of military history may not be the same as those taught in Russia, and WG will go with their understanding of the history of warfare.

Your post is neither contructive or interesting and it has nothing to do with the subject.

 

I don't undertand why so many of you here cannot tolerate a new discussion. If you don't like the look of a thread don't read it.

Are you sane, 15 tiers? Even the RN tree will be littered with blueprint boats since it's hard to have ships for all 10 tiers. How would this even work out for 15 tiers?

 

And I think WG did a smart move to start off with the USN and IJN lines, since these navies saw extensive naval combat throughout WW2 in contrast to the hur dur merchant raiding and convoy protection that was particulary featured in the Atlantic theater. That being said, RN should've been the 3rd navy to be introduced.

Not to rain on your patriotic parade, but the IJN/USN conflict was the largest naval conflict of WWII, and probably of all times.

Also, the Royal Danish Navy beats the Royal Navy in creation date by a whopping 110 years. And yes, it's a permanent and professional navy, that was once damn powerful.

So much for most deserving because oldest.

 

Having Russian and German ships as second wave of nations is in no way surprising either, since it was a purely marketing decision. Russian ships would generate more interest from the Russian market. German ships to complement them as an recognizable opponent...

 

 

I really hate these types of threads, because as much as I like the RN and would like to play their ships (more so then Russian or German ships), as I great up with an old DOS game pitching the RN against the KM, arguments like yours are extremely reductive of the unimaginably high importance of the USN, and complete disregard to making a successful game that generates significant enough income to help develop it.

So having a RN fleet included would not generate enough income for the developers.

So the revenue from wot and the merchandise they sell isn't enough and that's with out what they make from wows.

Poor WG ,must be going through hard times :(

Or don't WG produce more than just wows .


 

This is just my opinion but since the game is about WW I and WW II ships which we were involved in both then I think its about time that they introduced a RN fleet even if its just of one class of ship like did for the RU.

Like said just my opinion

If you think British ships would generate more interest in their key market of RUSSIA, than Russian ships, there's nothing I can do to convince you.

 

I'd rather have this game be a success now and release British ships later, rather than have British ships now, and risk not being able to play them due to the game being a complete flop.

If Russian ships have to come first for that to happen, Then bring on the Russian ships.

There is one giant problem here. Stuff that are good for RU server is not really that good for EU server. So, you will have a nice, but still small RU server, and dying EU server. Not really a development you'd like. Not to mention that content is added really slow.

So having under 14000 right now logged in EU Server  is good ?.

Then lets see the influx there must be in a weeks time.

14k at nearly 3pm GMT on a weekday is exactly what I'd expect. Since we have a new line today, we may see a few more people tonight at prime time, but mostly will be this weekend (Easter weekend too). Once the novelty of a new ship line wears off, we'll be back to normal figures until the next line releases.

On wot there is 50,993 and 95,467 on right now.

So to me under 14000 not that good and was about the same yesterday.

At night say midnight on wards can be way under 1000
