ST: Tier IX German cruiser Siegfried:

Siegfried has a very large caliber even within the range of other large cruisers - 380 mm. Despite the fact that the ship has only 6 guns, it is more than enough considering their accuracy, which is an unusual trait for large cruisers.

Slot 3 - Fighter / Spotting Aircraft.


Slot 4 - Repair Party.


All stats are listed without crew and upgrade modifiers. The stats are subject to change during testing.

ST: Tier IX Pan-European destroyer Friesland:

A support destroyer with an unusual set of consumables and weapons.

Slot 2 - Smoke Generator (action time: 30 s; dispersion time: 127 s).


Slot 3 - Defensive AA fire.


Slot 4 - Hydro-acoustic Search.


Please note: Friesland will be tested in the Polish nation and then moved to the Pan-European nation.

ST: Tier VI British carrier Ark Royal:

Bombers and torpedo bombers of this British aircraft carrier are inferior in hit points to their classmates, which is compensated for by the large size of the squadrons. Despite a large number of aircraft in the squadron, you must carefully choose your target for attack and not forget about the small number of hit points.

Hit points – 44500. Plating - 19 mm.

Secondary Armament: 8x2 113 mm.

AA defense: 8x4 12.7 mm. 6x8 40 mm. 8x2 113 mm.

Hey zproxy,

That is correct =). This will setup some very different situations in-game where you will have to figure out the best way to play this DD. Tactics will have to change to account for having no torpedoes. If you look up the Friesland-class destroyers you will see they are not armed with torpedoes. The key thing to look at when you see the preliminary stats of the Friesland is the main battery reload time. Please remember all the information in the Developer's Blog is preliminary and can change.

Hey Captains,

I see a few questions about the acquisition method that will be used for the upcoming ships. Keep an eye on the Developer's Blog for those type of announcements!

Question: Of the recent Developer's Blogs which one has you most hyped?

Hey Landsraad,

How did you determine your ranking? Is it by interest? Ship type you like to play? Why are Slava and Smolensk at the bottom?

Hey Jakajan,

What about the Hayate is the most appealing to you with the most recent ships previewed?

Haha, I guess this was an easy question for you to answer =). Aside from the Thunderer what ship is most appealing and why?
