If you intend to get all of them, start with the minekaze.

They'll have some interesting stuff in the early tiers like the Gangut and Imperatritsa Mariya classes, but aside from the HMS Royal Sovereign and whatever they had laid down for construction before WWII, anything in the russian tree will be paper since post WWII they didn't really have a need for a surface navy. Though anyone who played WoT should be used to this. Not gonna lie though, I really wanna see the german tree to see if the Deutschland class gets put in as a cruiser or a battleship. EDIT: The Kronshtadt-class and Stalingrad-class might have a place towards the end of the russian cruiser line if wargaming wants to be really silly.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:As far as I can tell though, the Russian tree would have to be tiny as all hell. It's sure to have plenty of never weres, but it's not that badly off. Tashkent is probably good enough to be a tier 10 destroyer, and their cruisers should be manageable up to tier 8 or so. High tier battleships will have to be paper/incomplete, and there are no carriers, but I don't think it'll be much more paper than Germany. Michaellaneous posted:Okay but I am gonna be honest. I am kinda hyped for Heavy Cruiser Deutschland simply for it's concept. A cruiser sized ship with 11" guns? Yes please. There's some hint that Deutschland will be a tier 4 battleship, which is just lame as hell. It's not like it'd be hard to balance 6x11" on a tier ~8 cruiser. Even worse, if Deutschland is a tier 4 battleship then it's likely that Alaska will be a boring mid tier battleship, and not putting Alaska at tier 9 or 10 would just be the worst.

Though anyone who played WoT should be used to this. The Soviet tech tree in WoT is one of the least paper in the game, with the Americans holding the title I think. Conversely, the German tree is at least half poo poo that never existed in metal. They'll have plenty of destroyers to choose from, and a few cruisers (more, if they shoehorn destroyer leaders in as low-tier cruisers like they did for Japan). Not sure how they'll figure BBs out other than Sovietsky Soyuz at T9 and the Project 24s at tier 10, Royal Sovereign and Giulio Cesare will probably end up being premiums. No clue how they'll do carriers.

LeadSled posted:Gonna laugh so hard when they add in a Kirov-class as a Tier 10 premium. It does beg the question of where the Sverdlov would fit in. 4x triple 152 mounts (the same gun the Grem uses in single mounts), 6x double-mount 100mm secondaries, 32x 37mm AA guns, and ten torp tubes. It feels like it'd be a solid Russian T8 premium medium cruiser. EDIT: This could definitely be a decent Soviet St. Louis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_cruiser_Chervona_Ukraina 15x 130mm with semi-decent AA for T3 (as compared to the St. Louis), with small (but existent) torpedoes, it's just armored for poo poo. Other than that, it seems the Russian cruiser line is going to be a repeated case of "hey I heard you liked one-fiddy-twos, so we put mo' one-fiddy-twos alongside yo' one-fiddy-twos so you can one-fiddy-two while you one-fiddy-two."

loving Aoba man. The fuckin Aoba. What a boat. In the last seconds a friendly minekaze lit me on fire because I rammed him and he wasn't paying attention to where his shots were going (that's what the background is, actually). At least we coordinated who was torping first. The Citadels were on... A CLEVELAND! Oh, citadeling them is soooo satisfying. Even my shots that didn't citadel plunged through the deck and fully penned for 4-5k hits. Plunging fire from the Aoba can mess up even a BB's day, it seems, though HE hits pretty hard too. I had 2 guys beach themselves running from me.

I just had the best round of my entire time playing this game. I got wrecked hard at the beginning, and only had about 10% health. Then I finished the game with almost 5000XP and was dodging torps like a boss. I really wished my replays were working because GOD drat.

Have they stated how they feel about carrier balance right now? Load into a game with 2x tier 7's CV's vs a Tier 6 and a Tier 5. Predictable loss, enemy CV's top 2 in XP. *yawn*

Deutschland as anything other than a low tier BB would be exceptionally painful however because it's AA suite at it's time of commissioning consisted of three pre-WWI anti-torpedo boat guns converted into flak.

Yeah, the Furutaka is excruciating. It's basically a glass BB after spending two ships as a DD+ and it's taught me to look at what the next tier ship is all about before I blindly upgrade. Only 20k more XP to go if I burn all my free XP to get out of this match made in hell. Tempted to buy gold just for the occasion...

I hope once this close range accuracy buff for BB's goes in, people will start brawling in them more. Not only is it fun, but its loving really good. I charged in on a distracted Amagi in my Myoko and once I got to like 7.5km I started taking 2k damage volleys from his secondaries like every 4-5 seconds. By the time I got to 3km and spun to launch torps, I had lost like 12k health and was burning from 2 fires. A couple of games later, I watched another Amagi basically solo a New Orleans from 15k health to dead just with his secondaries.
