Basically a simple, easy to read compilation of everything we know about ships. It has a twin on the EU forum.
Post in the thread with anything you know/can find that isn't here already.

RM = Regia Marina - Italian Navy
MN = Marine Nationale - French Navy
IRN/SN = Imperial Russian Navy / Soviet Navy
SA = South America (wild guess here, but they had some pretty ships during and after WW1)

And awesome, you could change KM to HSF/KM (HSF=Hochseeflotte/High Seas Fleet, the name of the German navy during WW1), would make sense if you also include the Imperial Russian Navy. :Smile_smile:

[mr3awsome]

Top marks to JeeWeeJ.

 

PS anything to add?

[Super_Dreadnought]

USA should be USN to fit in with the others. I would suggest putting the nation name next to the navy's name in commas. Not everyone will know that the Regia Marina is the Italian navy. So something like this maybe:

 

Marine Nationale (France)

Agreed! Also HSF is more commonly used for the High Seas Fleet, instead of HF.

Anyway, we "know" that the Bismarck class will probably be tier 8, British tier 10 will probably be the Super Lion (or Lion 2, with 4x3 16", as stated in Overlords blog.) and i believe it was stated somewhere that the Shinano will be the IJN's tier 10 CV. And i believe KGB confirmed the tier 2 BB's for the USN...only i forgot which one it was...South Carolina class maybe?? :Smile_amazed:

[Windhover118]

We also know that the Iowa and Montana Class battleships are going to be the American tier Xs. I think I remember reading somewhere that the Midway class will be the American tier X carrier.

[Super_Dreadnought]

Yamato, Iowa, Montana are confirmed Tier 10s.

[mr3awsome]

Updated.

[Wunderwaffen1945]

tnx guys

[madmanthan21]

good list +1

[Elouda]

G15 Taiho-Kai and Shinano have both been confirmed as Tier 10 CVs for Japan in the Q&A thread.

 

I also seem to recall something about Shokaku or Akagi as Tier 8 CVs, will look them up.

 

EDIT: Yes, Zuikaku/Shokaku is confirmed as a Tier 8 CV, and Akagi will likely be a second Tier 8.

 

Its also been stated that only one of each will be around at launch, so going by the fact we've seen Shokaku already, that would be my guess.

[Mermaid_Witch]

We know that ships float.  And usually have some form of propulsion system.

[Super_Dreadnought]

FAQ says that the Katori class cruiser will be Japan's t1.

 

Iowa needs to be reclassed as a t10 battlecruiser on your list.

http://forum.worldof...5286#entry35286

 

Somers class DD will be the USN's Tier 10 destroyer.

http://forum.worldof...9952#entry19952

 

Shinano will not be avaialble upon release, but will be included as T10 in a second IJN CV tree. the first T10 IJN carrier is likely the G15 Taiho Kai

http://forum.worldof...5245#entry15245

http://forum.worldof...5630#entry15630

 

There will be 4 Kongo classes across 4 tiers.

http://forum.worldof...6562#entry16562

http://forum.worldof...6876#entry16876

 

HMS Dreadnought will definitely be in somewhere.

http://forum.worldof..._4956#entry4956

 

2 H classes will be above Bismarck. A strong bet is H-42 for the german T10. The devs have confirmed they are willing to make an exception for H-42 regarding weight limit and main armament, since it's the first H class design which won't be significantly outgunned by a Yamato, Montana, and Super Lion. H-39 or H-41 should be expected in T9.

http://forum.worldof..._4884#entry4884

http://forum.worldof...8652#entry18652

 

IMHO this 90,000 ton H-42 will be the 'Maus on water' :Smile_teethhappy:

[sgtpepper500]

Why did you have to remind me of the Somers?  That's the most retarded thing I've heard in a LONG time, and I've heard a lot of retarded things in my day.

[62ndAirborne]

Lots of countrys but they are only comeing out with two to start.

You might as well get used to seeing them if you plan to play WoWs. :Smile_trollface:

Meh...stuff happens. I'm not getting my Shinano either until a second CV tree is added for the IJN.



http://forum.worldof...9850#entry39850
KGV will be either t8, or t7 if the devs feel it is too weak.
Richelieu is likely to be t8 alongside Bismarck and Littorio

[International_Barfighter]

Good work, hopefully we can get this stickied for reference.

[mr3awsome]

That would be good

You've got KGV listed as USN - it should be under Royal Navy.
