[SPUDS] Unintentional_submarine [SPUDS] Beta Tester 4,052 posts 8,765 battles Report post #777 Posted July 31, 2016 Well for example, I didn't even know that they had any battleships, or large cruisers seeing as how at the time China was a relatively poor nation with low grade industry. China had what amounted to a T2 cruiser (Chao Ho class) and a sort of T3-4 cruiser (Ning Hai class, essentially a very slow Yubari with 6*140mm guns). They had planned to get a larger more capable cruiser to replace the Ning Hais, but war intervened. So I guess a reasonable T5-6 cruiser should be possible. Add the post-war purchaces, like Anshan and Lo Yang (despite them being from each of the two Chinas), and you get some isolated ships, but not a full tree. But it is China, so my guess it is for their server alone, maybe with a potential premium for us... maybe. The reception of the RU/SU cruisers showcased the relative dislike of too much unknown or downright paper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanhal Alpha Tester 5,609 posts 5,569 battles Report post #778 Posted July 31, 2016 Ok, but why halving the HP of tier 1 (HE damage halving don't cut it because of fires)? I remember when i first started alpha and they had huge HP pool back then and the fun was immense. Considering they won't face even T2, they could double HP instead of halving as they don't have to be balanced with anything except other T1 anymore. With half HP and presumably less than 12 vs 12 battles, T1 will be crap even for newbs, just like WoWp, with time from pressing battle to first shots ten times longer than the action...

KMS_Tirpitz Players 303 posts 1,634 battles Report post #779 Posted July 31, 2016 I disagree, though I can't say anything. I wouldn't expect you to agree trainspite, your focus is entirely on the RN ships. It's just incredibly ironic how the Navies which historically displayed the most accurate gunnery of both wars are represented as the most inaccurate ingame, whilst the major nation with by far the least impressive Navy of both wars feature the best ships in their class ingame. All I can think is this: The sad truth in Russia nowadays... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byronicasian Players 391 posts Report post #780 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Hmm, so per the NA reddit Q&A and Chinese one. It would seem we're slated to get . German BBs, British Cruisers by the end of the year. German DDs "hopefully" done by the end of the year. Also read the Chinese interview, looks like the "Chinese tree" is in the send devs/modelers to dig through archives stage, so not anywhere close to completion.

Well what is above has to do with anything? WG can choose to invent ships for full Chinese line if they choose to do so. And I am guessing that they will. If China has enough paying and willing customers, that's only good business. As I do not have any issues with history I am hoping that line comes to other servers too.

KPtja Players 273 posts 2,478 battles Report post #783 Posted July 31, 2016 well... chinese fleet (and red fleet to for that matter) but still no french navy or Regia Marina is a tad annoying for some people True true.

Considering Chinese version of WoWs have "fantasy" nations in it, and the lack of real Chinese navy in relevant timeframe, i would say that: 1. If they absolutely MUST make Chinese ships, they better invent some instead of doing disgusting copypasta festival. 2. If they make them for Chinese server, no real reason not to include them here as well (although i would want to have French or Italian infinitely more). 3. I want Gondorian navy. Btw.

KMS_Tirpitz Players 303 posts 1,634 battles Report post #795 Posted July 31, 2016 Pot, kettle, black. Never judge a book by its cover. You'll see I care as much about the other ships as I do the German ones. I would've liked to see them & US ships better represented according to their historical strengths, which they are decidedly not. This had been my point of focus from the start.

No reason to muddy things with feelings, numbers don't lie, either dispersion is high or it is low, same goes for the magical "sigma" stat which the Warspite enjoys so much success with. Finally we play BBs to get enjoyable gunplay, not to shoot torpedoes or watch our secondaries auto attack. Hence why the Russian ships are so gun focused, it's the funnest part of the game and WG knows that perfectly well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
