German premium ships candidates

[DanRO]

I was wondering about possible candidates for German premium ships. The main problem being that, apart from WW1, there aren't many WW2 ships left.

I can only think about the following ones:

 

-Admiral Scheer (after the rebuilt) and / or Admiral Lützow (Deutschland)

-the Hipper class heavy cruisers Seydlitz and / or Lützow either in the proposed light cruiser variant with 150mm guns or as converted aircraft carriers.

-the D, M, O and P Cruisers

-one of the many converted Flak cruisers.

The (west) germans used Flechter-class DDs after WWII. Also a possible candidate for a german premium ship (as WG likes copy&paste premiums ;-) )

[Aragathor]

There's only one premium ship that is worthy of being added to the game, the 1940 torpedo boat class represented by the T-61.

Come on WG, we want it and we are willing to pay for it.

 

There's no point in adding the rest of the Deutschland class, as Graf Spee is a representative.

 

And instead of paper designs I'd rather see some real battlecruisers.

The thing is, that is pretty much the Kriegsmarine still has to offer. Anything else was built during the WW1.

[Aotearas]

Seydlitz in the originally concepted 4x3 150mm gun configuration would be a nice template for a premium ship. Could work at tier VII and at tier VIII depending on the other stats of the ship.

[Donar79]

A CL Emden in a AA DP configuration like it was possible in NavyField would be really funny (german Atlanta)

Most of all i would be interested in M-, O-, P-Projekt cruisers since WG has secret documents i am sure^^

[SchuetzeM]

Not really interested intrinsically, but there are some left to pick up: 

 

CL Emden 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cruiser_Emden 

 

ZH 1 (captured DD from NL): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_destroyer_ZH1

 

ZG 3 (captured from GRE): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_destroyer_Vasilefs_Georgios 

 

But to concede, there are not many interesting capital ships. 

 

 

[ImperialAdmiral]

There are still like 3 German premiums that await release.

Interesting finds. And heck, I forgot about the Emden.

Yes I know, and that is why I haven't included them in my list. They are done ;)

How bout these sexy battlecruisers?

 

T3=Von der tann

T4= Goeben (premium) or moltke

T5= derfflinger (lutzow as premium)

T6= O class 

T7= mackensen class

T8= ersatz Yorck class 

 

I know the time gap might be weird for  t6 t7 and t8. Premium ships are nice. Battlecruisers are better 

[Jvd2000]

The Leipzig as a intermediate cruiser between the Nurnberg and Koningsberg. Next to the Emden (v2) the only real ship that fought in ww2 that is not yet represented as a class. The two missing Deutschland class cruisers would be just a Graf Spee as would be the Blucher towards the Hipper. And i doubt WG would like to include another pre dreadnaught so the 2 Deutschland class pre-BB are out too.

 

Leaves either captured ships, blue prints or at best the Seydlitz light cruiser variant. The idea of a Hipper with 133% firepower of a Nurnberg sounds quite interesting since the Hipper hull would give atleast some survivablity.

 

And then we have ww1 battlecruisers.....

Yes, the German WW1 Battlecruisers were gorgeous beauties... I dare to say, WG will add them into a german BC split? With a possibility to upgrade the hulls perhaps? That would be my preference :)

The Deutschland and the rebuilt Admiral Scheer were smaller and slightly less armored than the Admiral Graf Spee but I will ignore that. No, the reason I've added them to my list is that, some of us like the ships and collect them ^^
Although the Blücher wouldn't appeal me since the Admiral Hipper has the Hull A which is how the Blücher pretty much looked like when it went down (takes his hat off)

It does doesn't it? I love the idea just as much :)

[Zogash85]

I think Blücher could be made to work at Tier VII. They wouldn't even have to change her much from the Hipper, since that one is already more of a Tier VII than a Tier VIII - just reduce the HP a bit and you're done. Then buff the Hipper and Eugen to make them competitive at their tier, and voilà, everyone's happy.

[theta0123]

Hipper and eugen could use a nice buff.. they are durable. But even the americans have better guns. And the gun layout issent great aswel.

A 2 sec reload buff + heal would make them pretty OK imho

[Jethro_Grey]

Apart from the T-61, i'm waiting for the captured Town class cruiser.

Basically a Belfast sailing under german flag, so no need for testing shenanigans or the like.

Just a new camo, a commemorative flag and copy-pasting the stats and consumables from the Belfast and voila(!), 70€ i spit out without a moment's hesitation.

 

You can do eeet WG, i trust in your copy-pasting skills.

[creamgravy]

Destroyers.

 

Tier 4. S113. The first 'heavy' destroyer with 4x1 149mm guns.

Tier 5. T-23 or T-27. Sank HMS Charybdis and Limbourne in Operation Tunnel.

Tier 6. T-61. (ZG3 should be a Greek premium)

Tier 7. Z-21 Wilhelm Heidkamp. Type 1936 destroyer and flagship of Friedrich Bonte (Iron Cross) during first naval battle of Narvik. A larger but more manoeuvrable and stealthier Maass.

Tier 7. ZH1. See post from SchuetzeM.

Tier 8. Z-39.

[RepSrb]

Carrier , T10 -Europa 

[rvfharrier]

Schleswig-Holstein at T2. As the ship that fired the first shots of WW2 it'd have a strong historical significance and, let's face it, the Mikasa has been ruling the roost far too long!

Most definitely a tier 8. Both Seydlitz and Lutzow were even heavier than Prinz Eugen. Were looking at HP pools of ~46 900 for Seydlizt and ~50 800 for Lutzow +/- 100hp when comparing with Hipper or Eugen. Seems way to much for tier 7. Also remember the 150mm guns are the same as Nurnberg afaik, 6 sec reload will allow for pretty good DPM on a hull much better for its tier compared to Nurnberg.

 

On the other hand, a stock Hipper with the name Blucher "could" work at tier 7, of course many would oppose to this because of SMS Blucher ofc.

YES! 

I'll take all of them!

My credit card is waiting...

Nice ships! Would prefer them as historical premiums though instead of butchered Frankenstein Fantasy garbage in a Split line (like Conqueror / L2, Kaiser / some name the forum would censor, Bayern, König, etc ...uhhh)

At least give it German hydro ;)

[jss78]

There's a plethora of potential, super cool low-mid-tier ships from the imperial era. 

 

I'd play the living hell out of those battlecruisers. 

 

I also liked the suggestion (spotted on reddit) of Bayern's sister ship in authentic WW1 spec. Like König Albert is to Kaiser.

But wouldn't that suffer the same PR 'stuff' that the Mutsu and Ashitaka have received (original variant stock Nagato and Amagi)?

 

(The WW1 BC's would be nice additions).
