Anyone supporting the USS Oklahoma BB-37 as another premium BB in WOWS?

[Mr_Alex]

Not sure if USS Oklahoma BB-37 should be implemented in WOWS, she was basically sunk at Pearl Harbor, does anyone here support the USS Oklahoma appear in game as a premium ship in WOWS, just like the USS Arizona?

 

[Crucis]

Already have tier 5 (USS Texas), tier 6 (USS Arizona), and tier 8 (USS Alabama) premium USN BBs.  Also have the tier 4 Arkansas Beta USN BB as well.  So it seems to me that the USN is well represented for premium BB's.  I think that there are other nations that could use some premium ship love, like Japan or the UK or Germany, or France or Italy.

^^^^^^*

 

 

*Except for maybe Germany. They've already got 3 BB premiums

or how about a premium that is NOT a battleship?

[Ace_04]

I'll pass.

 

I can't see her playstyle offering anything unique compared to Texas, Arizona, or New Mexico.

[LittleWhiteMouse]

I'm easy to please.  If it was built in steel, I want it in World of Warships.

[Reymu]

Sure, if sequential fire on this premium results in more accurate shots than full broadside.

[the_majestic_eagle]

Maybe later on, I think other nations should take priority over the US for now, the American premiums are well represented for now

[New_Horizontal]

gimme a break

USN have so many premium ships right now

give a chance to other nation ship to show up 

 

[EmperorMaxwell]

No thanks. As others have already stated, the USN already has at least 4 BB premiums and this one doesn't seem to offer anything that isn't already available via the ones we already have.

[Wolcott]

My heart longs for her sister ship USS Nevada, the only BB that was able to set sail that fateful day. But either will do for me.

 

Edit: This would make for a very nice co-op mission. Escape the harbor from waves of Japanese air attacks!

I have to agree with this, even though I am a USN fan.  Other nations need some ships more than we need another premium.

So you are not a fan of most of the Soviet ships

[WanderingGhost]

I believe that eventually, we should have ships and all representing each state given you could fit them all in game between tech trees and premiums (I want to see a branch out that puts Pennsylvania in the tech tree). Cities is a harder sell. But rotate them every so often and likely find ways to differentiate between possible builds, any tweaks one got, etc. 

 

That said, USN BB's, let alone premiums, should be a bit further back on the burner. We have UK CV's were adding, plus their BB line, we have some nations that still need filling out in at minimum France and Italy, 4 more potential lines of CV's after UK, much as Wargaming makes excuses like "lack of airplanes" to which my response is still "look at every other conversion of land based aircraft ever", especially given that of the classes CV's have the least representation of all of them.

[Battleship_Dunkerque]

Much as I want Oklahoma, I do think it can wait until they eventually introduce a second BB tree.  I'm patient. ;) 

[landcollector]

RN CVs are going to be rather problematic imo, since a quick wiki search shows me that hanger sizes never really get beyond A Hull Ranger capacity.  Which means either a Saipan situation where they get higher tier aircraft than they otherwise would, or ahistorically huge hanger sizes.

 

[DoomStomper]

Its exactly the same class as Arizona/ New Mexico

 

No, not exactly the same.  Oklahoma was a Nevada-class.  Arizona (Pennsylvania) and New Mexico are two separate classes that followed.

 

I won't blame someone for mixing up the Standards, as they do share a number of similar characteristics, but the actual line of progression is:

Nevada>Pennsylvania>New Mexico>Tennessee>Colorado.

[Sakuzhi]

mmm I feel that it should be pointed out.

 

There's a good chance the US will get another Battleship line at some point with the Nevada and friends in it.

I like what mouse says, but can also agree with others who have said the USN has plenty of premium battleships; let other nations get some love.

 

I would want Oklahoma, (and also USS Nevada,) because of the ship's history, because I've read about the ship and the salvage operation quite a bit; because I've been to see the memorial on Ford Island; the mast remnant at the USS Batfish Military Park in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and because I've LIVED in Oklahoma for most of my life.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better. Bring on USS Oklahoma and the USN Battleship classes that fought in WWII not yet represented. Tennessee, Nevada, etc.

Then again, starting the with Illustrious they are also the most well protected armored carriers tier for tier. Later designs uninhibited by the pre-war treaties also had relatively large hangars,  although still never approaching the numbers an Essex or later Midway could carry.

 

Personally I think you could start the line at Hermes, use Eagle at tier 5, move on to the inter-war Glorious in one of her many forms at tier 6, stick the Illustrious class as tier 7 and sell a premium HMS Victorious in her "USS Robin" livery. Ark Royal would take the 8 slot, with 9 and 10 being the Audacious and Implacable respectively.

 

Why have the older Ark Royal a tier above the newer Illustrious?

 

Simple: hangar capacity. Illustrious/premium Victorious would be absolutely boned as tier 8s no matter what planes you give them, and they also don't weigh enough for much of an HP pool when compared to the relatively massive Lexington and Shokaku.

Well it's a design choice.

 

The US preferred longer ranged, faster and having more ability to fight for longer (I.E. more Planes) Carriers to the British which deemed protection more important than Aircraft capacity.

 

Think about it like a P-51 vs a Spitfire, You can't exactly claim which one is better because they were literally designed for entirely different roles.

 

You'll see it at a variety of levels between nations, like why the British usually have better DDs for a Gunfight than the US would but the US DDs were better in terms of AA and ASW warfare.

EDIT: Ate my post, not retyping it all, but no they won't be landcollector

 

This makes interesting reading.

 

It is the Royal Navy's Aircraft Carrier Handbook, 1943 (with 1945 annotations).

 

It calls the Audacious class Ark Royal, but that is because originally the first ship was to be given the Ark Royal name, but that changed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basically, multiple combinations on there, namely that for tier 8 aircraft candidates, actually comes out around 88-101 aircraft, factoring in slightly bigger aircraft on the tier 9 candidates, maybe 90. And that's not counting the even bigger Malta class that was planned and more similar to Midway. Only crazy thing would be that These ships here and had it been built Malta could have, and even Illustrious class, operated twin engine Mosquito's and Hornets, or rather their Navalized variants, from their decks. But considering we got B-25's off, and eventually back on, carrier decks, yeah.

 

Also, yeah, the guy that said it'd be another Arizona and NM is so bloody wrong it's not even funny and I'm not typing all the ways it's wrong back up.

These two statements say it all.
