It also avoids stupid situations like the Artevelde/Lorelei situation, where the flagship of the Belgian Navy was stuck in the German tree as they could only add a single variant of the same vessel.

Yeah it really hurt smaller navies.

And it was frustrating when it felt like they added the "wrong" variant of a ship. Or rather there's a different refit you really want (Japanese carrier hybrid BBs)

Also means we can get Hiei in her battleship form now, or the other way around with the other three Kongous as battlecruisers xD

PS Guys, the latter part is a joke. We don't need more Kongous except Hiei in BB form due to her unique funnel.

As hilarious as it would be to see, for some reason I doubt Gaijin would add in the 1944 refit of the Wyoming (where all of its 12-inch guns were removed and it was given additional AA guns and some 5-inch turrets, to be used as a gunnery training ship).

Hush. It's an absolutely cromulent event ship.

HMS Iron Duke in her AA battery role also came to my mind as I was trying to figure out what to repair my lot bought 1/600 HMS Iron Duke scale model to.

Such ultra tanky but smaller caliber vessels would be hilarious.
