I have the latest extended tech tree and the only new USN Cruiser is the Buffalo and the others that are in the game renamed for the testers. I also download the latest content folder with each patch and check out all the new ships in the textures files. I already did a new skin for the Buffalo repainted and cleaned in Navy Blue Gray, looks great.

I suppose when we see the Dallas and other add-ons CL's and CA's in either one of those updates extended trees we know it will be soon then. I hope it's in the 0.7.4 update! But I may survive until the 0.7.5 update... LOL.

I have plenty of XP and credits for most of the add-on Cruisers like Dallas...etc. Does anyone know when this split will happen? Waiting patiently! rustydawg

Can't wait to see how the Dallas does against the Omaha. The last 2 Brooklyn Class cruisers had 4x2 twin turrets 5" 38 cal ( they were the prewar type mounts rounded off at the corners, basically a fattened up single mount.) they were called St- Louis Class modified Brooklyn class. They were CL-49 St Louis and CL-50 Helena. Here's the Navsource info on them: http://www.navsource.org/archives/04/049/04049.htm

I don't know why WOWs couldn't just replace Seagal with a generic captain, would have been easier. In case you didn't notice I colorized that picture of Don Winslow. I cropped him from a B&W picture of him flying an airplane with a pretty lady sitting to his right. You can see part of the yoke in his left hand. I also renamed the Lex to Saratoga and the Essex to Bunker Hill. My dad was on the Bunker Hill in WW2. When it was attacked on May 11, 1945, he was about 75 feet from the blast that blew a fifty-foot hole in the middle of the flight deck. He was about 10 feet from the forward gun mount on the flight deck, his battle station. The blast sent him flying 15 feet through the air and he landed flat on his back. He got the wind knocked out of him, but he was one of the few guys that stood back up, the rest were dead or badly wounded. He felt the heat from a big piece of metal whiz by his head, plus a lot of wood from the flight deck just missed him. Well, I could go on for a few pages about it, so I'll stop here.

You have to really be dedicated to getting rid of the John Doe Guy.

Here's the screenshot, Click the link for the picture: https://ibb.co/fOcehc Don Winslow of the Navy was a Movie Serial around 1940. I followed the directions in here: When you press Ctrl+F type in John Doe and it will say: IDS_Seagal John Doe Change John Doe to any name you desire. Maybe you can post your names here for the new John Doe replacement.

I got the 5 and 6 tier French BB's in the regular game and the 7 and 8 tiered ships in the public test, that will go to the regular server in the next patch...(I hope!)

Server down for me to, was in the Kii, just got sunk, but we were winning.

Some skins have kill marks on them with the banned crosses and rising suns, maybe that got them deleted by WG. You have to check every little detail to be safe.

Ernest Borgnine would great too, maybe even Ensign Parker (Tim Conway) in the background getting in a panic about torpedoes off the starboard side...etc

John Wayne is my vote, he made enough navy movies to get most if not all of the voiceovers needed. Operation Pacific comes to mind when he ordered the helm to Ramming Speed, would be great for BB's heading for a ram.

You can Zoom in a little closer to the guns and lifeboats...etc and you can look down on the ship from directly above. I'll let you all know what support says about it if they answer my ticket.

The only thing I see new about it is you can look straight down on a ship from overhead. But you can't zoom from the overhead view. Would be nice if WoWs put some tutorials out on these new items! Edit: I just put in a ticket to support to see what they say.
