You forgot the 2nd RU DD line. We saw the their polygon models as gif on the portal already.

I'd prefer german Battlecruisers tbh... or a US cruiser split (though they said that atleast a Light Cruiser tree for the US is in the far future) or maybe a light cruiser branch of the german Cruisers from Tier VII to Tier X with Plan Z ships/the 15cm Hipper variants (though they might make a nice Tier VII or so prem)... or would there be Light Cruisers for Japan to go for a branch of their own?

[Otto_Carius_512]

both of those would make the "2 frensh lines" statement untrue.

Not that it would surprise me....just sayin

Hello Commanders!

 

There are a couple of threads floating around about HMS Nelson, it being a Free XP ship, stats, etc.

I got some information I'm allowed to share:

-It'll be between 300k-400k Free XP

-If you want finer details from me, I will be streaming it August 9th, 2017. https://www.twitch.tv/wargaming

-Yes that might have been a shameless plug

 

I'll see you then!

IJN more modern Light cruisers are a bit dificult to place with 6 150 ish mm they lack in main arment but have resonable AA on the other Hand most are the notorious bad 25mm so it might be nut to hard for low tir. Id like to see super aki and a 2ed T10 for the alternate line since they butchered both shira and aki the line feels like a useless dublon sink instead wich was formaly a fun diferent line.

He's talking about introducing the Agano and Oyodo class CLs in some way. I'm guessing tier 5-6 off-shoot or simply a couple of premiums.

The tier 9 and 10 end cap on the the second IJN DD line would be nice as well, bumping (and buffing) the Aki up to tier 9 and adding the Super Aki at tier 10.

Honestly i do not know how you managed to get that out of that mess but ok seems reasonable enough.

Though i guess it is nice knowing i am not the only one hitting the bottle hard.

If you mean light cruisers there are basically i thoght about Ōyodo and Agano wich would be hard to place above T5

 

If you meaned my opinion on the alternate DD line its a dead end atm and the 2 reasons to Play it are nerfed down from unique fun ships so a suicide torp boat (with 34 kn and no smoke you wont get away from anything that seriously pushs and aki is a slow turn like a brick smokeshooter thanks to Mechanik changes, a further part of the line would get rid of one of its mankos because super aki was a faster design (near 38 kn) while keeping the gunconfig

I doubt.  Ooyodo isn't your npormal cruiser, especially by japanese standards (she had no torpedoes ! She was the only one not to have any along with BBs, even all heavy cruisers had them), so you can't rate her like you rate others. She needa seperate thinking.

Agano, however, cannot be rated by the games' standards because she was meant to be used for torpedo attacks as destroyer squadrons leaders. But since this game as something against torpedo her main strength, for which guns have been sacrificied, is unusable ; so she doesn't belong at all.

Then again, Agano could make a decent TVI, because TV could see something like Sendai.

[Unintentional_submarine]

Agano will most likely appear. She has featured as a model in their offices, and I believe a very short clip of modeling.

Agano I see as a higher tier Iwaki. Which is to say a high concealment cruiser with long range torps, so essentially a stealth torp capable cruiser. Possibly with smoke.

 

Oyodo is as you say trickier to place. Both have the same awful armor but the Oyodo is both larger, slightly slower and has much worse power/displacement ratio. She would be a much harder ship to keep alive with no discernible advantages aside from more health and better AA.

 

Maybe they want to figure out how to handle the sea plane focused ships, like the Tone. That might help give the Oyodo the thing it's missing.

[Unintentional_submarine]

Oyodo is like Tone on hold until they can figure out to make their planes work in a more suitable manner than just catapult fighters or spotters.

Long range torpedoes ? I don't know what game you're playing.

[Major_Damage225]

How's about they make a tier 8 IJN DD(harekaze is technicaly not ijn) 

Umm return the old tier 8 fubuki under a direrent name as a premium, or add it as the original T9 a'la Missouri for free xp. 

(Fast to make, easy to market) 

Thats all for today, night skippers.

Well long range in the context of this game, so 10-12km.

Since the ship is a late design it would carry Type 93 torpedoes at the very least.

At a tier no higher than 6 ?

 

Besides, would you really play a cruiser, easier to see, with lower manoeuverability, basically just enough armor to arm high caliber AP, and a citadel, when its only strength are torpedoes ? I'd say pick a destroyer then.

It would be like the other IJN CLs (Tenryu, Kuma and Yubari), which is to say good at supporting friendly DDs with more firepower than the enemy DDs you would be facing but with the added benefit of also being able to stealth torp. Give it smoke if that's needed, it's a destroyer leader after all. It's also a good candidate to get the same Aiming Mod 0 as the premium IJN CLs, seeing as it has so few guns and is based on the Yubari design.

[Hades_warrior]

I wonder what did they ment by ''Stay tuned throughout the month as we introduce more details on the individual ships.

On top of that, there will be 3 missions, 1 for each week, thanks to which you will be able to work towards the UK Battleships before they are released, and receive them upon release of the branch''.

You get those BB's before they are released if you play those special missions?

As the alternate line? with aki on T9 and super aki as T10?

Given the poor handling of akis hull HSF Harekaze is actually the more fun ship to Play since she keeps the Torp power Speed and conceilment and maneuerbility of a DD at one the cost of a single Turest. Aki would have to get quite some buffs to fit T9 (well she gets acess to the beter modules )

They want a historic premium tier 8 IJN destroyer, that HSF thing is a pure cartoon ship.

[mtm78]

Funny though, that cartoon ship is probably the most fun IJN dd there is at the moment, since Akizuki's 'fun' went away now it has to evasion tank with a larger turning radius than battleships. 

[JaiFoh]

Is the open release of the game like sept 15th? So thats the 2nd anniversary so thats when i had money on it
