Kandly Players 408 posts 651 battles Report post #1 Posted August 30, 2017 Captains, More new ships have appeared on the horizon! Guilio Cesare Commissioned in 1914, the Giulio Cesare was one of the Conte di Cavour class dreadnoughts built for the Italian navy. Extensively modified in 1930s, she actively participated in WWII in the Mediterranean. After the war, she was transferred as a war reparation to the USSR as Novorossiysk and - after several refits - was lost to a WWII mine explosion in harbor. Are you looking forward to more fancy air recognition stripes on the bows? Huang He Built as HMS Aurora, she was transferred to China in 1948 and subsequently her crew defected to the Communists in 1949. While in port, she was sunk by the Nationalist air force. After salvage, there were projects for her refit using Soviet weapons - but instead she was stripped down, renamed Huang He and used as a hulk. In-game she shall not suffer such an end, though! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kandly Players 408 posts 651 battles Report post #2 Posted August 30, 2017 On top of that, a brand new camouflage for the Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya is now being tested! As the work progresses, we're getting closer and closer to the date when she'll be unleashed on all servers! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BRIT6] JollyRoger1516 [BRIT6] Players 126 posts 4,341 battles Report post #4 Posted August 30, 2017 The october camo looks neat but please also implement and option to not see it (as with the HSF, etc.) for those that would like to keep the ocean reasonably historical. As glorious as the Texas looks I'd prefer to see her usual camo. Really looking forward to another British DD though as I absolutely love my Gallant and Cambeltown and its about damn time we see some Italians around here. Already have the Duca, that one doesn't count anymore;) Will the Italian ships get an option to switch sides midgame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R3B3L] HystericalAccuracy Players 1,505 posts 40,425 battles Report post #6 Posted August 30, 2017 Lookinig forward to the cruiser But placing a Leander with even less guns at Tier6? Looks like a challenge. I hope it will use the 100mm-guns for AA too. Regarding the other two: both look great. But again battleships? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] WolfGewehr Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 2,844 posts 11,496 battles Report post #10 Posted August 30, 2017 Looking good (those ships, not the camo ). It would be so nice to get to test these WiP ships under Collector status. *cough cough* *wink wink* Especially to be able to join the Kii testing thanks to Collector status would be so nice drooooool... Anyways, you can't be serious with that Gangut camo. That candy wrap like camo is such an eye cancer. Texas camo falls also into same category, but it is at least based on a flag while this Gangut one is just a product of pure artistic freedom. That camo is so over the board that I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry everytime when I see it :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FK] Jellicoe1916 Beta Tester 274 posts 10,234 battles Report post #17 Posted August 30, 2017 I cant wait for them but in my opinion, Huang He should be a tier 5 cruiser as she's basically just a toned down Perth/Leander. Perth and Leander have more HP, Guns, Armour and torpedoes, Huang He may only be better AA wise so why would you choose Huang He over those 2? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teekesselchen Players 138 posts 10,513 battles Report post #19 Posted August 30, 2017 The Dev Blog mentioned dispersion and Sigma for the Cesare: Quote maximum dispersion - 138 m. Sigma - 1.5 This would basically be cruiser dispersion coupled with BB sigma. Very curious. The Huang He apparently is very much a DD with a citadel. The poor protection and mere six guns are noteworthy. They gave out her preliminary stats, but didn't mention any consumeables which she would definitely need to be any useful. Considering she was originally Royal Navy, smoke seems like the obvious solution. She also gets better concealment than Yubari despite being bigger because screw the old botes :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R3B3L] HystericalAccuracy Players 1,505 posts 40,425 battles Report post #21 Posted August 30, 2017 Now that i´m at home i had a closer look at the Huang He It is a Perth with 25% less firepower, two torpedo tubes less, and an even weaker AA. Because for some reason the secondary guns are not used for AA, though being the same as on the Kutuzov. Plus, the ship can not equip a plane... And what´s with the speed? 31 knots? I hope the T6 is a typo. With half the firepower of the Murmansk at T5 i am very curious how you want to squeeze Huang in T6. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
