Introduction of new ships

[pzkpfwv1d]

I have a multiple question as follows: -

 

When will WG be releasing Royal Navy ships into general game play (rather than the single premium ship we currently have) given that the Royal Navy introduced the concept of the Dreadnough, the concept of the battle cruiser and the concept of the angled flight deck into naval architecture 

Will Michigan make it into the US inventory as a T2 ship in some form 

Will we see such oddities HMS Agincourt, HMS Courageous and Glorious (as designed), HMS Furious (As designed)

Can we have some armoured cruisers such as HMS Warrior or HMS Black Prince 

Given the recent introduction of the Blyskowisc - will we be seeing the introduction of HMS Caroline as a veteran (Built 1914, decommissioned 2009)

Will we be seeing Argentinian, Brazilian Italian, Austro Hungarian, Turkish, Spanish, French and other nationality ships 

Are we going to see the IJN Aki/Satsuma introduced as premium T2 ships

Read the pinned topics.

[pzkpfwv1d]

I have read the pinned and everything i being discussed but nothing is actually being said about what ships will be included, whether oddities will be included and when the ships will be introduced 

[Allied_Winter]

Short answer: WGs standard answer regarding future ships or trees is: No Comment.

 

Usually there are some rumors, than there will be (probably) an announcement a few days before the release.

But you won't get any official information regarding what ships and lines will be introduced in the next 12 or 18 months.

Royal Navy Light Cruisers late this year.

Battleships might be coming for 2017.

 

WG do aim to include a wide variety of ships from the RN, but it will take a lot of time to include most of them. thought the most popular and requested might come first.

South Carolina is in game already on tier 3. And it was actually called Michigan in alpha.

That was the unofficial target before people started creating innumerous duplicate topics asking for the RN. Do remember their release gets pushed back by a week (or was it month?) for each time someone asks.

 

Why should be at an ETA for ~2050 by now

[BlueMoon51]

For what its worth I think we will be very lucky to see any RN techtree this year(based on the length between current tier release dates). 

[Admiral_noodle]

Soon...

 

 

But yea quit asking the same questions

[Comrad_StaIin]

yeah the RN  got delayed by one month

[Armo1000]

Still hope they at least give us HMS Caroline for the Jutland centenary but knowing WG thats wishful thinking.

 

Probably give us yet another Admiral Ku........ov type ship that no one has heard of. 

[Historynerd]

given that the Royal Navy introduced the concept of the Dreadnought

 

For your information, the Royal Navy was the first to build and commission an all-big gun battleship, that afterwards came to be known as "dreadnought", but the concept was being developed at the same time in other countries, and the first one to publish such concept was an Italian, the naval engineer Vittorio Emanuele Cuniberti in 1902.

Correct but Britain did invent the battle cruiser... Oh dear

[Historynerd]

Well, to be fair, some say that in some pre-dreadnought designs (such as the Regina Elena-class) the Regia Marina anticipated the emphasis on firepower and speed, at the cost of protection, that would be found on battlecruisers... 

 

But let's not get too much carried away, shall we? I think we can leave the paternity of the battlecruiser in British hands...

I wouldn't hold your breath.

Actually the all big gun battleship was first planned in the 1870's but rejected on the grounds of cost by the Royal Navy

Do you have a source for this?

[Kenjiro_]

I don't understand this much fuss about a navy whose most famous ship is known to be one-shotted

 

Seriously, enough of RN whine....

[lafeel]

I call BS, as stated before the source of that is most likely the fertile (if at times borderline crazy) mind of Cuniberti.

[Sub_Eleven]

Now all we need is people making threads about submarines and OP torpedoes and were back in 2015 again.

HMS Victory was NOT one-shotted!

Well I would prefer RN Rum to be honest.

You kidding me . Do the names Warspite, Ark royal, King George V, Belfast, Nelson,Ajax,Illustrious and Dreadnought ring any bells? If they dont then you need to read up on Naval history mate.

 

Hood is only famous for blowing up apart from that she didn't do anything really significant. 

 

The ships listed all played a key role one way or another in Naval history and are famous for it. and there are many more but that would be a far too long list.

 

People want to see these ships not made up Ships or ships that hardly did anything

I would love to see hood.

but indeed, there are so many important ships in the royal navy line... it feels like theres a huge hole in WoWS now

To be fair, she flew the flag for the RN and British Empire throughout the interwar period. She was the "ship" during that period, famous for her size and tours.
