So, will we be able to mount two flags on our RN ships now or what are the rewards? Because I always was conflicted on whether to dismount the Trafalgar or Iron Duke flag from my RN ships to mount the AL flag like I do with any ship that has an AL captain.

See this is why discussing things with the likes of you and other other die hard defending regular pens on DDs is impossible. 

What?  You can look it your self, survivability wise your Z52 is good.

 

Pointing out that how your Z52 got blaped  at 16.km as and indicator do something is irrelavent. Every ship does occasionally get blaped like that.In fact cruisers have higher chance of being in reciving end than DD.

 

Obviosly DD players like the reduction on damage recived. Because in BB heavy meta it is a big deal. Does not mean cruiser player should be happy about that, when WG is handing substatial survivability buff in a guise of quality of life improvement.

Someone on reddit (

 called "CN_W" made a highly possible suggestion:

" Best guess? Based on precedent (French BB and USN CL collections), a camo for the Lightning and perhaps an alternate pattern for Cossack "

 

I would be happy with that for a small (16 item) collection!

Guess second flag will have to wait for Brit CVs.

Well now we wait for the Dasha vid and patch notes.

Really hoping for the Alaska.

am I missing something? seems to me like this is just a slightly fatter (slower but more HP) Shchors that can single-fire its three 4km torps per side (woooohooooo)...

I mean, hooray for a non-gimmicky premium that isnt just flat out better than the tech tree version, but this seems a bit... bland?

Every time I see a premium like this, I think "crap maybe i'll get this one instead of a good premium with Christmas container".

Completely bland and uninteresting premium with no historical background at all... Yeah  :cap_old:

Benefit of paper ships - possibilities are endless. WG can always say "mother rashia wanted to build more than 9000 of these boats, so we introduce 8000 premboats, each with unique paintjob. Chrome plated, pearlescent, pink, something for everyone"

Of course a prem Soviet cruiser, it makes perfect sense, they're pretty thin on the ground.  It's not like there's a line that had its one and only prem cruiser removed from sale and could do with a replacement. /s

Lazo was planed as eleventh ship of Chapayev Class. This could be Chapayev class as originally designed in 1938 but not 100% sure.

I just don't understand why giving to it the gimmick of the single torp launch since those are almost unusable 4km range torpedoes. And those squishy USSR cruiser hate short range in the first place...

That is a Chapayev with A Hull AA, but B Hull maneuverability and health (almost) and spotter plane instead of radar. So, straight up better than Shchors? Figures.

See, that's the thing. People will sit there wondering "Well, who cares about a Shchors that has single launch 4 km torps? When you use them, you sure don't have the time for those antics." instead of wondering how a Shchors with better range and better hp is justified. Also slightly better concealment by 100 metres or so, but who cares. The rudder shift is a second worse, the turning radius 10 m better, the citadel protection cannot be worse than Shchors and while the single file is effectively stupidly useless, you do get 3 torps instead of 4 per side, but with more damage per torp and "only" 65 knots instead of 70.

Agreed - or we could just allow RN Captains to use Commonwealth ships and serve on the HMAS Perth! :Smile_Default: A Dido class cruiser would be nice though.

 

While we are at it, my German fleet would like a mid-tier light cruiser for training captains. (Maybe something such as the Leipzig?).

Good thing is that we are finally getting a premium Soviet cruiser. Imagine if they gave us another Royal Navy one instead as we already have a ton of them. /s

We still don't have any word about a t4 premium cruiser. Seriously, not having a complete line? What an oversight. One of the Svietlanas that was never built would be ideal. And we need a t1 as well, of course.

Well Krasni Kavkaz could be a good candidate
