That is a surprisingly sensible post from S_O.

That said, I'm not quite sure Slava is any more glass cannony then say République if you remain angled. Both are 32mm plated ships that will eat pens from HE and Yamato/Musashi. Sure, if you sail broadside, Slava is far more ikely to get citadelled, but hey, bad play needs to be punished.

The new mystery german cruiser from the dev blog looks very much like O-class.

Could be the next Tier IX/X supercruiser. But this time with 6x380mm.

I wonder if they will really do that

I think that supercruisers are not good for the game. Towards normal cruiser they behave like BB, but do not fall under the MM BB limit.

[FrankvC_Jr]

Yeah I saw it too. Its funny because I was working in a Panzershiffe tree proposal and then this appeared out of nowhere. Same as when I and some friends were making Imperial German BCs and Eitel Friederich showed up. 2 things I dont like:

-Tier 9 or 10 will make it coal or steel aka more grind. Hoped for more mid tier like Nelson

-It will have troubles facing the russian botes and probably american Alaska because reasons like barrel count and such. 

 

Hope to see it end well and not a Eitel Friederich fail.

If they added proper BC class for Hood, Kongo, Eitel.....it could work.

• We do not need a BC class
• Yes, they would work as middle Tier BB

Because clearly we need ANOTHER "super cruiser". It's not like we already have half a dozen or so.

Why would anyone want to play a Gneisenau with nerfed armor in T10 battles?

This thing basically needs Slava/Pobeda dispersion to not be plain frustrating.

When she gets her 50mm deck plating, cruiser class and high accuracy, she might do well...

[fumtu]

WG usually release German Premium during Gamescom. I expect that this one will arrive about that time. Yup It seems like O Class Battlecruiser.

Haha why would we need another ship? We already have one in the game?

Let me guess, you're German? 

 

On a more serious note, if you haven't noticed WG is going full  on super cruisers lately.

And while I suppose that is to be expected considering what this playerbase likes to play, it doesn't make it any less ed especially considering the current state of the game.

 

Then again I suppose I shouldn't care and just be happy I get another pseudo-BB for my waifu to farm.

I've been "testing" Slava extensively (cause she is God's gift to mankind), and there is nothing glass about her.

 

Both as part of testing and as "why would I even care cause I'm masterrace" I've been giving a lot of broadside regularly. Punishment lmao.

[Toivia]

Of course, we gotta get more supercruisers, 5 ain't enough.

 

Oh well, at least Germany gets a T9 premium at long last...

For your Big E it doesn’t matter dude - correct. I mean the moment they released Kronstadt we knew B-65, O-Class and Alaska would follow. I am pretty sure these are commercially extremely successful. They even sold Alaska for cash - was it 60€? Not bad 

 

And sure - they MAY be a little strong but if they are really a game breaker at this stage I don’t know. At least these monstercruisers are very popular and I was pretty sure they would announce a nice German ship for Gamescom. You know what? I have a splendid idea: let’s release it unplayable and half finished and clean it up later (producing a another little monster)

Ah yes? So perfectly balanced then, comrade, is it?

Can you, or someone else, explain me what the hell is supposed to be attractive about those ships? Imho they enhance even more static gameplay (look at me mom I'm reversing bow-on like a pro) and combine the worst of 2 worlds: can't overmatch cruisers like bbs, can't tank like bbs, don't have the stealth/dps like cruisers.

 

Once again one of those ships if I were to get it for free I might sell them for credits, if not out of fear that I would get the exact same ship later.

Yamato is a billion times more glass cannon than she is.

Too bad @El2aZeR doesn't have his top view from RTS days of yore anymore for confirmation, but I'm sure he has heard me say "Ah I'm giving to much broadside to X here" a lot by now and saw exactly nothing when he looked at me later on.

Ah yes, WG and their (in-)famous Gamescom release deadlines. I see no incoming issues whatsoever. 

 

Really though, my problem isn't necessarily their strength but that they basically add more BBs to a match in cruiser slots. Aside from the money making aspect I see little reason why at least some of these can't be added as mid-high tier BBs.

Then again the money making aspect seems to overrule everything nowadays.

I like crossovers between classes in WOWS mostly. 

 

In the case of the super cruisers you may have the worst from both worlds but the combination is fun. High alpha always feels more rewarding to be than the famous death-by-a-thousand-cuts. But you are still more a cruiser with more movement and risk than the heavy bulky battle wagons which tend to be a bit boring at higher tiers to me at least.

I hear that if it fails, we can always ask help from the community in the balancing department. So no worries indeed comrade.

[thiextar]

Honestly, if three factions already have super cruisers, i dont mind all the major factions having one each.
