What ships/concepts are you looking forwards to the most?

[Affeks]

Is it a favourite ship of yours, is it a tech tree or some concept you hope wargaming will add in the future. Whatever it is post and explain why you look forward to it.

 

Personally I have a couple ships I can't wait to see what WG has in store for

 

Agano-Class Light Cruisers

Now I might be a little biased on this one because it is my favourite class of ships ever (don't ask why, I don't know either), but hear me out. In most threads I see people writing off the Agano-class as a tier 5 Cruiser, and well looking at the guns I agree. With some tweaks and a smoke though I can see the Agano working in tier 7-8, as it has okay AA and very good torpedoes. The Agano is also pretty small so I could see it almost being a kind of DD/CL hybrid. Most of all though I'm mostly just excited to see what Wargaming does to it, write it off as a tier 5 cruiser or make it work somehow in tiers 7-8.

 

Alaska-class "Large Cruiser", IJN super type A-class "Supercruiser", Dutch project-1047 "Battlecruiser"

How Wargaming will handle these ships really excites me as they all blur the line between Battlecrusier and Heavy Cruiser. Wargming could also just write these off as low tier battlships, but I'm hopefull they can make them work as high tier CC/CA hybrids. I guess you could group up the panzerschiffe with these ships, but I dunno.

 

Ise/Fuso-class Hybrid Carriers

There are tons of threads on these so I won't go into detail, but if and how wargaming implements these excites me to the bone.

 

tl;dr It looks like what I want to see is the the ships that blur the line between the classifications. 

 

Any thoughts?

[aboomination]

German BB line because the Tirpitz is very promising and I have a very good captain ready and waiting - hopefully they'll have torpedoes

This.

 

 

And the german T 36 (Flottentorpedoboot 1939).

 

 

[Historynerd]

Pretty straightforward, in my case.

 

Everything Italian! 

Especially Duilio- and Littorio-class BBs, Duca degli Abruzzi- and Zara-class CA/CLs, Capitani Romani-class DDs (yes, I know they were classified light cruisers IRL, but they fit the bill for Tier X DDs).

 

tl;dr It looks like what I want to see is the the ships that blur the line between the classifications. 

 

You sure know how to restrain your demands! XD

 

Seriously, now, I'd like to see the Alaska- and the Type-A as well, but the discussion about them in the forums only highlighted how much of a pain they would be to be balanced. I do hope something can be worked out, though.

However, the Design 1047 can work as a Tier 7 Dutch (or "minor powers" tree) BB. Nothing that divisive about her; she's basically a somewhat stronger Scharnhorst.

I'm skeptical about the Ise-class hybrids; we're talking something that in that form is theoretically able to perform in either role, but that in practice might find out to be too weak in either. Navies studied hybrid projects throughout the interwar years, without them supplanting dedicated surface or air warfare ships. In any case, I have lots of doubts wheter we'll see them in the game.

I know what I'm looking forward to is kinda diffcult for WG to balance, but I wouldn't mind spending lotsa money buying them if WG makes them a reality! The Hybrd carriers is probably the hardest one though, but the Large Cruiser concept shouldn't be too hard since we already have the Moskva.

The Moskva is a rather impressive cruiser, true, but it's not on the same level of both "large cruisers". The Project 66 was seemingly meant to trump the Des Moines, but without going so up the scale to blur the line between heavy cruisers and battlecruisers.

 

Also, it looks like that for the Italian tree (and namely Deamon93's proposal for the Tier X cruiser), we might end up with something that trumps even the Moskva's 220 mm guns in terms of caliber. 

But it still won't be able to go toe-to-toe with either the Alaska or the Type A.

[Azalgor]

Sharnhorst class, Doichland ''Poket Battleship class'' - these two are a must heve for me. Also looking forward for Italian Roma battleship, have a 1/350 scale model of her and shes sexy too. Also wonder about the H-39/42 the German tier 9-10. The rest doesnt interest me too much.

The best we can look up to is the H-41 proposal, as Tier X battleship, it seems. WG doesn't want anything in the game with a bigger gun than Yamato's.

 

Also, if you don't mind, it's written "Deutschland"... 

[Kais_S012]

I'm mainly waiting for the Illustrious Class carrier and the Town Class cruiser one of them I'm hoping will be coming Q4 of this year or Q1 of 2017 (that is of course is wargaming don't change their minds yet again and force though more Russian trash )

 

I cant really work out how the Ise class would work in game, yes it could carry aircraft but it did not have traps so aircraft would not be able to land on board again. any aircraft on that ship would be a 1 shot wonder weapon unless it has mutliple seaplanes instead

I see that now, Moskva is big but doesn't have the same armor and guns as the "Large Cruisers". It would still be a waste to just write them off as low tier BBs though.

Oh yeah I can't wait for those.

[lafeel]

The HMS Spurious, Outrageous, and Uproarious come to mind. In their original configurations of course.

And that's why they're painful to decipher! I really don't envy WG... the Alaska should be pretty popular requests, but they're going to give some pretty headaches...

Yeah, WG will prolly get backlash no matter what they do or how they translate the ships to ingame. That's why I say I'm excited for what WG does to them rather than saying "I HOPE THEY DO THIS" or "THAT". I will always look at Agano-class as a tier 8 ship even if WG plays it safe and puts it at tier 5 ;D

[Azalgor]

 

I dont mind people corecting me in ships names, but i also forgot to mention the Graf Zeppelin carrier that was almost compoleted by the Germans in adition to what i already mentioned earlyer.

The Zeppelin is one badass CV tbh Hope it clocks in at tier 8 so I can div up with a friend who has Tirpitz

You can have your Graf Zepp if I can have my RM Aquila

[Cosseria]

Apart from anything Italian, which I will play and collect no matter how bad it may turn out, I'm eagerly awaiting for French destroyers. With their high speed, awesome artillery and poor torps they should be a repeat of Soviet DDs, with the good aesthetic as a bonus.

[Mayv]

More Destroyers.

 

The French ones look interesting.The Le Fantasque and Mogador in particular.

 

The Italian ones look like good ships too.

[darkwingfighter]

Monitors. And Ulyanovsk, as "of Balance" USSR t10 carrier.

 

[lafeel]

Also, as those nicknames seem to have gone over everyone's heads, seeing as they weren't commented on...

 

I was of course referring to the three Royal Navy "large light cruisers" the HMS Furious, Courageous, and Glorious.

[Combat_Hamster]

Sharnhorst, Dunkerque,  would like to see a  Nevada, Zara, Algerie, De Ruyter, Aganos pretty but not much good ( 2nd hand main guns with short range ), Town class,  Hood ( no surprise ).

Yeah I'm also really looking forward to the french large destroyers, namely Mogador and le Fantastique-class cruisers. Fast and very heavily armed ;D

In their original forms, they're going to be in trouble...

 

Good guns, but far too few of them; light cruiser-style armor, and good but not awesome speed...

[SerPurr]

Town, West Virginia (44), Nevada (44), Tromp, Borodino, Le Fantasque, Tribal.

[Takemikazuchi_1121]

Town, West Virginia (44), Nevada (44), Tromp, Borodino, Le Fantasque, Tribal.

 

As Tier II Prem-BB.

 

And - oh (russian) wonder - it will be absolute OP!
