This is the "IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THE COMMUNITY" in which we laid out our intentions for the future.

The West Virgina '44 is mentioned in the Feedback section:

The average timeframe for bringing a ship into the game is surprisingly long. All told, it tends to be around 2 years in research, asset fabrication, game design implementation and test, art, and then actual rollout.

As you can see, the time stated is for 2023, which is in line with a full creation.

You can (and will) keep asking, but we can't comment on stuff that's still in process. So unfortunately you'll hear various versions of our inability to say anything.

That being said, she's confirmed on our Roadmap. That means she's been officially placed as a task to be done for all our various teams. Granted, she's scheduled out many months or more for some of our teams, but she's there just like every other ship that goes through our 2-year long asset creation process.

The problem that happened with her before is that she never made it into the official process. She was held back to be done another day because X thing had to be finished, or Y thing had to be finished. That kept happening for too long of a time.

Since three months ago, she has her official slot on our timeline.

That's a seperate issue, but we've also given an update on that a few months ago.

We've been working on AI Tools that had to be updated post-CV Rework and such. The good news is, when the Tools are finished, it'll be easier to use that to work on old Operations and potentially new ones.
