Roma?

Spoiler

 

My body is ready.

 

Also another T7 RN prem BB after Hood and Nelson? And copypasta this time as well?

HMS Duke of York. Seriously I'll run out of money. First Roma now this...

[WeGreedy]

So... sources are old-fashioned, eh?

[AkosJaccik]

To be a bit of a hyperbolical d*ck about the issue, we are converging to the point where there will be more premium ships in the game than silver ships.

_{(ButohGodtheRoma...)}

[PseudoMi]

Let’s not exaggerate, it’s only the third T7 premium RN BB.

Aaaaaaaaaand ladies and gentlemen: aaaaaaanother Brit HE boat!

 

...ah no thanks...

 

But: Lyon with questionable fantasy refit is T7 for the French? Do we know what T4, 5 and 6 are?

Who needs content & diversity when u can have loads of big BATTLESHIPS

[Comodoro_Allande]

So the source of this is "a little bit" questionable: 

Those are screenshots of a Spanish forum topic in Announcements, which was hidden shortly after published (same design as the other announcemnt published today with the Duke of York and the Roma)

Uh someone pushed the wrong button...?

[ImperialAdmiral]

Interesting.

Richelieu artwork shows her after US refit but actual ingame picture shows project variant with two additional turrets on both sides.

I hope that it's a fake, because a 24 knot dreadnought with poor armor, an awful turret configuration with bad angles, extraordinarily bad guns, and poor AA at tier7 would be madness.

I hope that it's a premium, because having...that as a regular tier7 would mean for me getting enough free xp to skip it completely.
Seriously, if you're going to go for a paper design (which the Lyon is), you might as well just go for a good one rather than one with guns that would make the Kaiser on tier4 have a good laugh.

[44smok]

An educated guess on french BBaguette line:

 

T3 Touraine - Danton with unified caliber of main guns

T4 Courbet

T5 Bretagne

T6 Normandie

T7 Lyon fantasy refit but still with 4 quad turrets

T8 Richelieu

T9 Alsace

T10 France - super Alsace with 4 quad turrets looks most likely if we get the Lyon in line

Please be true

That tier7 French BB made my eyes bleed... Seems like WG is to milk money out of Strasbourg.

USS Salem 

 

 

So since this is a Des Moines class without any differences or refits, what is the USS Salem supposed to be? A skin for the Des Moines?

Could work... But right now, the name seems to be "Tur..." something, can't read it in fact.

Or, if we jump on the trend, the crippled T9 premium DeMo.

[Comrad_StaIin]

Personally I would actually like the idea of special skins for all the different historical sister ships of a same class, to add a little variety to the game.

So a Des Moines with 900 less HP and way worse armor, what is it supposed to be? A reward tier 10? An OP tier 9 premium/reward?

Me too, much better than Alabama and Massachusetts for example.

Lyon revealed on T7.

 

Damn, i like to be wrong like that.

 

So it start to look weird:

T3 - probably 12x305 fictional version of Danton, named Turenne

T4 - Courbet (?)

T5 - Most likely Bretagne

T6 - Normandie (?)

T7 - Lyon

T8 - Richelieu

 

Where's the Strasbourg then? Could it be no Strasbourg?

So Defensive AA instead of heal, that's very interesting... Also, worse reload than the KGV
