[2019] ST, KoTS Announcements: new ships, ranked sprint, new year celebrations, and ship construction

Please stop with that. No one is salty with the hundred-year ago war.
The only pre-dred we see is actually Mikasa, and she was on the opposing side.

We just don't see the need to introduce any pre-dreds into the game.

If you want some more russian ships - just say so.
Izmail-class had 4 ships, and Navarin and Kinburn are still free.

They're similar, yes.

It doesn't have to be necessarily T7, and there is some tome to ready ships, so keep tuned.

Because number of historical names in one nation is limited, and we can't call soviet BB "Three Holy Hierarchs", "Sissoi Veliky", "Tsesarevich", "Imperator" (or any other monarch) or "Twelve Apostles".

Yes, we did, as an experiment, and didn't like the result.

And Mariya can happen, but even in my opinion we already have introduced quite enough ships for Russia/USSR recently. Let's wait a bit.

Similar question - they can happen, or not. And even if all the names for a ship are used - it wouldn't bar us from introducing the ship (See Mainz, which is really original plan for Lutzow/Seidlitz).

Lazo and Schors, for example, are real names planned for pr 68 cruisers (Chapaev/Sverdlov).
Also, why should we?

And Sevastopol was renamed several time, eventually returning to an original name. And Frunze was used again, for pr-68 cruiser, so using this names can create confusion.

Well, in ingame terms Pyotr is an 1911 ship. But yes, it is a fair point, some nobility did appear in soviet naming, like Nevskiy or Donskoy, but with role as a generals, not as sovereigns.

Lazo has less paperness than, for example, Montana, since her sisters were constructed, in an improved way, so.

Yup. You can play with October Revolution/Gangut - the experience would be similar. So she isn't bringing anything intresting to the table right now.
Wouldn't it be better to spend effort on more unique ships, from all nations.
