Kutuzov not in Tech Tree?

Hi Captains,


 

So I've made the plunge and bought the Mikhail Kutuzov this weekend, but even though it exists in my port, it's not showing up on the Russian tech tree like the other premiums (Aurora, Murmansk, Gremyaschy).  Does anyone else have this issue?


 

It's not really a big deal, I'm just curious why it's not showing there.

Without the Extended Tech Tree mod you propably won't see her in the Tech Tree. Same is with my Kamikaze R and my Tachibana

that's the case with all premiums that must be purchased with money, instead of having a doubloon option.

 

If you install the extended tech tree mod, you can see all of those ships.

You only find the ships you can buy for gold in the techtree. To see all the others you need to install the extended techtree mod.

Ok, understood.  That makes sense.

You know, this thread got me thinking, I wonder why the Sverdlov-class (of which Mikhail Kutuzov is a class member) isn't in the new  tech tree?

I speculated before it would have been logical if the Soviet cruiser tree went like this:

 

T5 - Kirov / Project 26

T6 - Kirov II / Project 26bis/bis2

T7 - Chapayev

T8 - Sverdlov

 

They would have saved the world from two paper ships and instead kept the Russian cruiser tree 80% real ships, with only Tier 9 and 10 as the paper ships.

 

The Kirov IIs have better armor than the Kirov, along some other improvements.  Furthermore, they actually have a combat history.  Instead of 50mm, the belt armor is up to 70mm, which still makes it as fragile as Shchors but saved by being one tier lower.

Putting the Sverdlov in means the Chapayev going to Tier 7.  That will be a strong Tier 7, compared to what we have now.  Or at least, it won't be garbage.  

 

WG seems to love what they discover in the archives, which they put paid professionals to find.  Because of this investment, there is some motivation to put the paper ships they discover into the game over the real ones.  

 

There is a possibility Shchors is there as a sort of paywall.  There is a sense the Chapayev at Tier 8 is also that, though not as bad.

 

Right now the Kutuzov premium is outright better than the tree ship Chapayev, it reeks pay for advantage.  The Kutuzov has more HP, smoke, better range, much better steering rudder response, and better AA.  Chappy only has radar.

 

Do note that the Russian destroyer tech tree also omitted some real destroyer classes that saw combat in WW2.
