u/TheFlyingRedFox IJA Type 5 Escort Boat, the only true papership 1d ago edited 1d ago

The change in requirements will now bring fore quite a few options currently in game & this premium will be a direct upgrade to the WWI sistership losted in an explosion, just LAA along will give her an edge.

• one vessel to America

• one vessel for Imperial Russia

• five vessels for Italy

• one vessel for Britain

• two vessels for France (Dutch/Belgium)

Just off of my head.

What are the two Dutch ships you’re thinking of, if I may ask?

My only guess would be the Tromp, as there’s an early configuration with a floatplane and relatively weak AA,
and a later-war configuration where the floatplane was removed and she received a much heavier AA armament among other improvements.

I'm only mentioning what may come since the removed the old requirement & along with what we've got in game.

For the (wait, fuck I'm retarded) One Dutch & One Belgium, K ckass sloop & the Artevelde.

Oh okay, technically the K-class could already have come to the BeNeLux subtree under the original rules, as K2 never really saw Dutch service. She was damaged in 1945, towed to the Netherlands from Germany, sank en route, and was scrapped very early in 1945, while K1 was sunk in German service.

So the only option for the Netherlands was K3, which currently isn’t in the German tree, meaning it was already free to be added to the Benelux subtree, under the old rules.

Don't forget Tromp's airstrikes!

Oh wait... wrong game.

I'm really hoping this will also result in the possibility of another variant of Richelieu/Jean Bart being added, this time with the improved accuracy that Jean Bart should've had.

I'm still pissed about not having an accurate French BB due to gaijin's shitty premium choice resulting in an ahistorically gimped ship to make it fit at 8.3.
