Not sure if that's going to be a staple of the line, or if there'll be other consumables at high tier though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine they probably will get it as an option on their Tier VIII-X cruisers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
32 [BORK] Doors_The_Dwarf [BORK] Members 253 posts 9,127 battles Report post #5 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) I was also talking with a friend and the idea of most if not all of the ship past i don't know, tier 3 would be able to mount the steering gears mod 3. This would allow them all to have the flavor of agility that is usually put onto French ships in general without the need of a consumable "gimmick". Although the engine boost is a neat idea as well and nothing near as boring/busted whatever you wanna call it. And heck why not both if they are going to have even less armor then the British and without smoke. Edited March 6, 2017 by Doors_The_Dwarf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,731 Eisennagel Beta Testers 11,728 posts Report post #8 Posted March 7, 2017 The Russians have their own separate radar developments; in fact they had quite a bunch of their own, under such names as Rubin, Zenit, RUS-1, RUS-2, Redut, Mars-1, Gneis-2. Molotov was the first Soviet ship to have radar when the Redut-k system was fitted in **1941**. Gneis-2 was fitted on Pe-2 to create night fighters. Things would have gotten much farther ahead if it were not for the Stalin's great purges that affected the Soviet scientific community. Lend Lease gave the Soviets a boost which gave them access to cavity magnetrons. The vast amount of radars you see in Soviet post war ships were not developed overnight, and not even copied immediately from given Lend Lease radars --- much of Soviet radars were indigenous --- without a deep knowledge in understanding and application, backed by some of the best minds in the planet. When a country has night fighters, you betcha they have active and operational radar developments. Nakajima JN-1 night fighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
75 Suzunami Beta Testers 648 posts 15,736 battles Report post #9 Posted March 7, 2017 The French did get radar technology from their allies, but never could use it before their surrender. I imagine they probably will get it as an option on their Tier VIII-X cruisers. The picture of tier 10 French cruiser shows it doesn't have planes/catapults, so radar for tier 10 for sure. I guess the other high tiers will have the radar option to replace planes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That thing looks like a T8-10 cruiser. I have a feeling we're in for "OMG NERF FROGGIE CROOZ0RZ TOO OP". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
