Tribal class destroyer leader

Arethusa class light cruiser

Much of your wish list will be coming, much is already in development, actually. The rest, though, ain't gonna make it.

[Cpt_Cupcake]

Where is the Alaska, Ise, De Ryueters, and the Minas on your list?

I'll def take an Ise or Hyuga please WG! Planes and BB guns, mmmmhmmmmmm. Didn't do much irl, but would be fun to play.

 

As would the Alaska, what a great BB, I mean BC, I mean CRUISER.

I wonder where the British CV line is in WGs priority list? - If ever there were a new line of ships to be introduced, the British CVs would be an appropriate nod to history given many CV innovations came from the British and there were quite a few actual ships to fill out a line.

[Wolcott]

Here's mine.

 

Russia:

• Empress Maria battleship
• Rurik cruiser
• Ukrayna destroyer (should go well with Tachibana and Smith)
• Prut

Royal Navy:

• HMS Lion battlecruiser
• HMS Repulse

USN:

• USS Houston (CA-30)
• USS Yorktown/Hornet (CV-5 & CV-8) with their early loadout of F4F Wildcats, TBD Devastators and SBD Dauntlesses. Even better if Hornet can have a B-25 consumable that can be used only once. 

IJN:

• Shinano (used to be in Alpha but now it's being kept in limbo)

Dutch Navy:

• Java
• De Ruyter

French Navy:

• French battleship France

There was never a Strasbourg-class battlecruiser.

 

Strasbourg is the sister to Dunkerque, the first ground up designed fast battleship.

 

And thus, Strasbourg, in a manner of speaking, is already in the game.

Were supposed to get 2 UK lines this year, given that we have several DD lines, and some looks at stuff, many think our second UK line will be CV's.

Make a Hornet as a special operation ship with one strike of B-25 on a ground target. That would be cool.

[comtedumas]

USS Alaska or Guam.

Dunkerque has a thinner belt than battlecruiser Renown, while Strasbourg's is thinner than Hood's, only 13.5in guns, at the time of build about as fast as Hood, Renown's and Kongo's (all battlecruisers) while being faster than anything else, and specifically designed to hunt down cruisers (the Deutschland's).

From what I can tell on this forum no battlecruisers were ever built at all.

Look I'm just calling it what the French called it. What it is, is up for debate like many things. Like the Kongō-class with Haruna being the first fast battleship in the world beating out Dunk by a year or two before she was laid Down, although many say that the Kongōs were still BCs.

 

Then there are those that say Scharn and Gnei are BCs. Then everything is thrown into debate. Couple that with a certain gnome overlord claiming Graf Spee was a BC and you have a recipe for, what ship type is it???

As would the Alaska, what a great BB, I mean BC, I mean CRUISER. 

I did a bit of checking...the Alaska main guns are basically a development of the Wyoming guns, with a new 12 inch super-heavy shell with very good pen values.  Secondary battery is of course, 12 5"/38s in pairs.

 

Looking at the list, I like the ideas on most of the lists here, but my top wants on that list would be Alaska, RN CVs, RN CAs, Brooklyn CLs, Tone CAs, and Northampton CAs.  Also, the Italian cruisers would be fun.  40-knot plus!  (I've studied the Pacific war a lot more than the European one.)

 

Also, on the subject of new lines, has anyone noticed the Pan-Asian DD line in-game marked 'SOON'?  (May require the tech-tree display mod, not sure.)

[ReddNekk]

How about the RN Dido class cruiser?

That's the RN counterpart to Atlanta, right?  

IIRC, 10 5.25"/50s in pairs?

 

That would be an interesting ship to have, yes.

Wichita is in WoW Blitz as the tier 8 US CA. 

 

 

[HazeGrayUnderway]

Tier IX Fletcher-class Premium, USS Willie D. Porter

HMAS Canberra

HMS Lion (likewise a crime to be missing) and other HMS CC's

It's already a crime that the name is taken by a paper design at tier 9. I would also like to see SMS Hindenburg as she was slightly different from her sister ships, but the name has been taken by a fake ship.

Only a matter of time before she makes it to WoWS as part of the USN cruiser line rework. Can't wait for Pensacola and New Orleans to drop down a tier, that way I can play the former in operations.

Ain't no way WG is going to put a 10 203mm gun cruiser down at tier 6. Ain't no way.

[IronWolfV]

Oh and far as wish lists:

Alaska

Lexington BC

Worcester

Project O BC(German)

B-65-2 BC

Wasp

Roma

USS United States CVA-58()

Somers/Porter class DD leader

[Slightlyaskewed]

I want the US cruiser line split. I know the unpopularity of the DD line splits made them unpopular. So I hope they aren't putting it on permanent hold.

Pensacola and New Orleans are already a tier lower in WoWS Blitz with Wichita at tier 8, at least from what I can see on YouTube. Just a question of whether these changes will also be implemented here.

I mean I'm glad they added Lion (BB) as it's a cool 'what if' I suppose (and they were laid down at least) although I still feel Vanguard as the last ever BB should have been at least the T8. I most want Lutzow of the SMS CC's. I like Flagships or ships that were famous for some reason and I'd argue other than Hood, Lutzow might be the most famous CC of all time.

So long as it's a Derfflinger then I'm all for it. Lutzow's participation at Jutland makes it all the more sweeter.

They need to do a Head over Keels video of that little boat's entire history.

 

The Iowa incident was only the second in a long list of crazy, unbelievable mishaps involving William D. Porter.
