The Ostergotland Class should be tier 10 as they were built after the Halland class. Östergötland-class destroyer- 1958 and served till 1982 Equipped with SeaCat SAM and Wire Guided Torpedoes Halland-class destroyer-1955 and served till 1982 Equipped with SSM Saab Robot and Wire Guided Torpedoes Smaland Class Destroyer 1952-1974 Equipped with SSM Saab Robot and Wire Guided Torpedoes Skane Destroyer never existed as other than as a prototype for the Oland Class Vasteras never existed as a DD. It was a Swedish missile patrol boat in 1974. In other words WG got lazy and made ships up. It makes no sense!! Sweden built enough DDs in WW 2 to fully equip the tree to Tier 8. The 3 cold war DDs need to be seriously nerfed. They have more AA than a tier 10 BB and they don't take damage easily and as such they are extremely difficult to kill 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And second, Östergötland were smaller and less capable ships built after Halland to a cheaper budget, younger age does not mean better. Thirdly, no point listing those missiles and wire guided torps as none of them have that in the game. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that the EU DD line is mostly Swedes, kinda leads to believe that the more "minor" nations, Spain, Netherlands, are going to be added in as seperate lines under the panEU nation.

Be nice, we don't want the kids in this game to actually look up that name ! We'd never hear the end of "OH God, our grandparents are playing this game......." Trust me, I just kicked my Grandson back into Blitz...! It's the Swedish mafia players that somehow forced the game into creating something for them. I can't wait for a Swedish battlesphip. Heck, there are German Aircraft carriers !!! I want the Ise for the IJN at tier 9....... Wiki If you ever get the chance, visit his Library in Abilene..... They have a neat tank park nearby and have a M48A5 I actually served on. I kept the Vehicle Id's of all of the tanks I was assigned to decades ago.

6,700 [SIM] SkaerKrow Members 6,266 posts 10,284 battles Report post #23 Posted May 24, 2020 Oh look, someone still thinks that this is a simulator and not an arcade shooter game. It doesn’t matter if the ship designs come from World War 2, the Cold War, or the Sixth Regula-Voidform Conflict. The ships have been compressed and balanced into the game’s current engine. Also, tiniest violin for ANYONE complaining that we have DDs that can fight off CV attacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
137 Tyberius_D ∞ Members 323 posts 2,956 battles Report post #24 Posted May 24, 2020 1) I am indeed not a fan of anything after the 40s in the game. Conforming 1950s+ tech to early 40s tech is not going to go well. 2) CV/DD arms race is dumb as hell, and causes craplike this to exist. 3) WG screwed up, and it keeps cascading.
