How's that for an idea? With a unique camo both Italian & German. Captured by the Germans, held by Italy until the war was over ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_destroyer_Tigre Perhaps she could also train French, Italian & German operators as she was a real trainer that saw combat too.

9,766 [SALVO] Crucis Members 25,495 posts 27,483 battles Report post #2 Posted December 31, 2018 An interesting ship with an interesting history. However, she never saw service with the Germans. And was only in service with the Italians for about 5 months, and it sounds like she was never really combat ready during that time. From reading that Wiki article, she sounds more like she should be strictly a French ship, though I'm not sure what tier, 5 or 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6 RaiderThePirateHunter Members 10 posts 4,789 battles Report post #3 Posted January 4, 2019 Well I was using the Tigre as an example but The La Galissonnière was scuttled, "then" retrieved by the Italians repaired and renamed FR 12 & when she was in Germany's hands sunk by the USA. Better sunk "than" on the water at war fer the Germans! Compare with the word then as events in time. This one then that one. Than .... Better than the old one ...

Since WG likes Fake A** refits, how would Prinz Eugen and Nagato look with a Post-War US Navy Refit? How about those snazzy 76mm AA guns that Des Moines-class has fitted on both?

It would be interesting to have it as a multi nation ship, depending on what nation's captain you put on that would changes the nation flag. French, German, or Italian.

6 RaiderThePirateHunter Members 10 posts 4,789 battles Report post #10 Posted January 11, 2019 Here we are over 60 years after WWII ... If we have skin camos of ships damaged like Bismark after being sunk, then why not after the ships were captured by a different nation? That's all I'm sayin, with options that can be purchased or earned to have the nation's choice of flags & colors on them. https://wwiiafterwwii.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/uss-prinz-eugen/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBH I'm really surprised that WG hasn't done this yet. All they have to do is bolt on some already existing soviet weapon assets onto an already existing Akatsuki hull.
