Queen Elizabeth Question

[KalishniKat]

Does anyone know if the "A" hull will be the original bridge superstructure or will the ship have the tower bridge in all forms. I think the original configuration is a much better looking ship.

She won't have the original bridge. She will have the Queen Anne's Mansion that you currently see for all her hulls. Anything you see in the tree is in their stock configuration if you don't have the ship purchased. What you currently see in game is her A hull. So she is not getting her ww1 hull.

What he said. QE, Warspite and Valiant were the three QE-class to receive this modernization and refit. Malaya and Barham did not, so there is a possibility of one of those two becoming a premium someday with that hull.

Oh, darn. I had hoped for that look or the look of the Revenge class. The tower is just kind of ugly.

As @Doomlock pointed out, that hull may possibly being reserved for a future premium. Now there's no way in knowing that for sure, but it would be a good guess considering they didn't include that hull.

Hmm maybe Royal Soverieign in Arkhangelsk form firing Stalinium shells????

I'm guessing they didn't put in the pre refit hull to avoid Bayern/Fuso stock hull woes.

This may also be another reason.

to avoid all low tier stock hull woes. 
Even a stock tank is more useful than a 1919 Kongou in a tier 7 match. 
or a 1918 New Mex in a tier 8 match.

They could always reduce the difference in stats between stock/top but keep the appearance.

There's no real reason Fuso should have had 12km range stock for instance, it's not the hull's 'fault'.

Maybe a premium stock QE at t5.

Fuso stock hull also wasn't quite as horrendously ugly as the "upgraded" hull.

Stock Fuso dont have the huge Pagoda mast. IRL the pagoda mast was built to increase the aim range of the main guns. So does in game.

True, but there is very little consistency in that regard. Getting some range buff is fine, being unusable stock isn't a necessity.

Colorado got a what ~2km range upgrade a few patches ago, with no new superstructure modelling. Ishizuchi went from 12.9 to 15.3 with no model changes. Old stock Fuso given that treatment might have been workable. WG seem to default to some things based on director/mast height but then change if needed - Pensacola used to have ~15.7km concealment IIRC (it was worse than Scharnhorst!) but eventually reason prevailed and now we're at 12.8km - with no remodel.

Yep, that i agree with you. My stock fuso grind was really painful. That range was a joke and could use a buff. It had t3 range.

They got rid of the stock New Mexico, Colorado, Kongo, and Fuso hulls too.
