So for those of us not in the beta, what kind of early ships are there at Tier 1 and 2 or so?

Will we get to roll around in the HMS Dreadnought? :britain:

Or pre-dreadnoughts/armoured cruisers?

So wait, have Wargaming said what order the other nations are being released?

Because it'll be a crime against boats if we get a goofy German or Russian full line before I can putter around in the HMS Dreadnought :britain:

It's a marketing decision. Russia's a given because most of their playerbase is russian and they love piloting russian stuff, Germany's likely because the next largest/most vocal group is Kriegsmarinaboos.

As far as I can tell though, the Russian tree would have to be tiny as all hell.

A couple decent cruisers (Kirov/Maxim Gorky) maybe but otherwise weren't their few battleships during WW2 obsolete early dreadnoughts and they had literally zero aircraft carriers until like 1975?

So is there a secret to the Kawachi other than just suffering?

It's slow, not manoeuvrable, is outranged by cruisers at its tier, easily gets whittled to death by a HE shells from said cruiser setting it on fire, has a long reload, etc...

Hell even when I do hit with a full spread of AP it doesn't seem to do a ton of damage. It doesn't seem good at anything. Like I would have thought the way to play BBs would be to fire at range but this thing can't take hits and has to get close to hit anything...
