Either way, I think this is a good move which will allow for a lot more nations to be represented, but without the mess of having a one-ship tech tree for each of them.

A few premiums from Aus, NZ, Canada and maybe even India but I don't see them making full lines as it would be just copy/paste british ships for the most part during this timeframe. One word though - HMCS Haida (well more than 1, but you get my point) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope the HMCS Haida gets added as a tech tree ship. (maybe i'm hoping for too much, i guess WG needs to make some money off of it by selling it as a premium) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(maybe i'm hoping for too much, i guess WG needs to make some money off of it by selling it as a premium) I think it's a pretty safe assumption that the entire tree will be gapped with premiums. I wouldn't expect it to be a filled out tree by any stretch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a fan of cruisers, I'm hoping to see the County-class version of Australia. It will also be interesting to see if Blyskawica gets transferred over to this tree, as the Polish tree is currently not available due to her being taken off sale.

It will also be interesting to see if Blyskawica gets transferred over to this tree, as the Polish tree is currently not available due to her being taken off sale. I would disagree. The more likely County-class that we will get for the RAN is HMAS Canberra. Australia would be a great premium, predating the battlecruiser line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got this answer in a Reddit QNA with a WG employee. Q.) Any plans to add HMCS Haida as a premium ship? Given her service record with Blyskawica and the already hinted at Z-32 along with the fact that she is a museum ship would make a great premium addition. The Canadian fans would be quite happy. You could even make a "Naval Legends" episode on her! A.) Not for this year but this one is starting to surpass the cries for Kitakami and Enterprise. It's on our radar as a community request.

As much as id like to think "Its on our radar" as confirmed, it is not yet "confirmed" But if we use common sense, it is.

3 [USD] Tomalawk [USD] Members 19 posts 12,362 battles Report post #23 Posted September 22, 2016 Technically Canada could form a full DD line (with some unique changes) as it used a mix of British and American designs throughout the years the game covers - modified Clemsons, Wickes, Tribal, A, C and others. I'm sure someone could easily build a full workable tree of "clones" in game or similar enough. Alongside the much awaited Haida, give us the HMCS Ontario as mentioned (Minotaur class) and HMCS Uganda (Crown class). Heck even give them unique abilities for Canadian flavour since they would be clones of the british line. I'll just say right now even though Canada had CVs no way we could be seeing any Ruler class ships before CVs are reworked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
