My hopes for each Tier in WoWs. Tier VIII: Amalfi, an enlarged Zara class which uad triple turrets and was a proposal made by Spain once the Spanish Civil War was over. Tier IX: Minnesota, a 1920 South Dakota class battleship that recived the 1941 to 1944 battleship modernization plan. Tier X: Harugumo, a development of the Akizuki class destroyer with an extra 100mm gun turret.
Well here's mine. Tier VIII: Wiesbaden. A recon light cruiser proposal, basically a German version of the Atlanta class. Tier IX: Adriatico. If the designs that Italy made for Tashkent were used by and, as such, built for Italy. Tier X: Ohio. A proposal to arm a Montana class battleship armed with 18 inch guns in four twin turrets.
My one big hope is for Manfred von Richthofen, a hypothetical CV conversion of the H-class battleships. Or Buffalo, an idea for an improved Wichita design which is Anchorage without torpedoes.
I think Des Moines would be added before Buffalo. However, an Iron Blood CV. The whole think about Iron Blood is that they build Submarines, Battleship and Battlecruiser. Having a UR carrier would ruin that. Personally I think that the only nation's that should have UR carriers are Eagle Union, Sakura empire and royal navy. But that's just my opinion.
ahh yes, the Manfred von Richthofen, a hull which is an absolutely stupid idea for a carrier conversion more than Graf Zeppelin which was a horrible hybrid design HMS Eagle is a lesson on why Battleship conversions are a bad idea
BC: Incomparable BC: Modified F2 Battlecruiser Collingwood BC: Modified K3 Hawke BC: J3 Rooke BC: I3 St Vincent BC: 1920 G3 Duncan yeah these are the RN's BC DR options
Wild that someone ACTUALLY mentions one of the DE options, people seem to hate the copy/paste WoWs ships when they're really the literal only options for decent main fleet ships. They do now get a few more cruiser options, thanks to WoWs with Tianjin, Dalian, Jinan and Sejong. We also saw a recent announcement for a new CA, however they specifically give Incheon to the Republic of Korea Navy, and not ambiguously in the Pan Asian faction.
6:40 with the germans its similar they have more 406mm guns then 420mm besides H39 and the two H40s who are variatins of the former are the only designs drawn up with 406mm while the rest has 420mm The real Prinz Rupprecht design for example had 4x2 420mm
I must say this was a very competent and well-thought-out prediction for PR7 which is a very thing indeed when it comes to these types of things. Honestley there's not much I can really fault with this. Personally, though Napoli will be the pick over Venezia for the Italian DR, she's quite a bit more unique and there's a lot more to work with to make her an interesting ship in Azur Lane. I'm also somewhat leaning more towards Bayard or Charles Martel for the last slot over Kansas since for the last 2 seasons they went with 2 main fleet ships and 3 vanguard for the line ups and although as you say twice is a coincidence not a pattern, having 3/5 ships be battleships doesn't quite feel right. So personally I'm gonna have to go DR CA Napoli DR BC Duncan PR BB Sun Yat Sen PR CA Pyotor PR CL Bayard
Worcester, Alaska and Midway existed IRL and so will likely come as Gacha URs. Halford did exist IRL in her world of warships configuration momentarily so likely also a Gacha SR but could be a PR due to the fact it wasn't her service form. Better USN candidates for DR/PR would be Vermont (DR BB), Minnesota (DR/PR BB), Illinois (PR BB with fast reload 203mm gun gimmick), Ohio (DR BB), Rhode Island (DR BB), the remaining Aviation Battleships from the Tech Tree: Louisiana, Delaware and Nebraska (But I doubt they will come because of Kearsarge), Congress (PR Large Cruiser), Vallejo (PR Light Cruiser) and Tulsa (PR Heavy Cruiser). Tulsa would bring a unique Quick reloading dual 203mm Gold Equip (Which would Segway to Des Moine's/Salem/Newport News Rainbow Triple 203mm nicely) and Austin (PR/DR CL). Illinois could have a unique low damage Gold quad 203mm fast reload BB/BC gun for gold and Austin could bring a UR 127mm dual gun. Sadly Much of the DDs, Cruisers and Carriers are real so they'd likely be Gacha ships than UR. For Sakura Empire, Kitakami did exist IRL so likely she will be the SE UR CL and Yoshino kind of steps on Azuma's toes being the same ship just with torpedoes but in the context of AL that might actually be an interesting swap for secondary guns. Other choices could be: Yodo (DR CL), Harugumo (DR DD), Tsurugi (PR BC), Adatara (DR/PR BC), Bungo (DR BC), Daisen (PR BC), Hizen (PR BB) and Yumihara (PR BC). Tsurugi, Adatara and Bungo bring an interesting Dual variant of the 18 inch guns which could make for an interesting Rainbow gun, while the Dual 410s of Yumihara and Daisen could be a Gold BB gun. Your Ironblood selection is great, I would just include Anhalt (PR BB), Brandenburg (PR BB) and Pommern (PR/DR BB), Admiral Schroder (PR/DR Large Cruiser) and Schill (PR CA/CB Large Cruiser). I'm personally hesitant on Schill since AL has been implementing the P-class on their own through Prinz Heinrich, Adelbart and Friedrich Carl as heavy cruisers, but Schroder could be interesting for the Dual 305mm CB Large Cruiser guns it brings to the table and the fact it could be the first non-collab PR Large Cruiser for the game. Royal Navy is Also great, though I'm starting to suspect AL is saving the rest of the Neptune Class and Minotaurs potentially for SR and UR candidates for a now somewhat ailing RN gacha lineup. Incomparable would be very interesting for her dual 20 inch main guns as a Rainbow drop. My only other inclusions would be Hampshire (PR CA), Nottingham (PR CA) and Druid (DR DD). Druid would bring an Interesting rainbow/gold dual 127mm gun and hampshire could bring a gold dual 203mm Honestly it would be nice to see the SN tier 10s come as Northern Parliament DRs, especially since Tashkent is a simple SR so Khabarovsk would be a great addition and Nevsky would be good candidate for a DR CL. Other inclusions could be Borodino (PR BB), Navarin (PR BB), Vladivostok (PR BB), Dmitri Donskoi (PR/DR CL), Petropavlovsk (DR CA, as much as it pains me), Grozovoi (DR DD) and Delny (DR DD). Navarin brings an interesting quad 406mm and Grozovoi has a suite of equipment it could bring to the game in both Rainbow and Gold. As for the last 3, all pretty much good. Bourgogne might be a gacha UR ship? Considering that she is a sister of Alsace. . . but they also put Flandre, who is also of the Alsace class as a PR BB, so who knows. I'd love to see an Italian UR BB for Sardegna, so Ruggiero de Lauria or Cristoforo Columbo or Sicilia as the best candidates depending on whether you want rainbow Dual 457s or Quad 381s for the new equipment. Lepanto is also of course an option as well along with Giusseppe Verdi. Picardie makes for an interesting Iris/Vichya PR BB, which I presume would operate like an SR version of Lyon. I would love to see Cherbourg in the game as a PR CB Large Cruiser with her quad 305s for Iris/Vichya, but that's my bias. Vittorio Cuniberti is another option for a Sardegna PR DD. Overall it makes for a nearly exhaustive list of current as of now collab ships from WoWs XD
I'm hoping for: HMS - BB/BC Sakura Empire - BB/BC (BB preferred) Dragon Empery - backliner or vanguard Sardegna Empire - CA/CB Vanguard from either Iris Libre, Northern Parliament or from one of above-mentioned nations.
So these are all the options for the HMS faction DDs: Druid (HMS) CLs: Port Jackson (HMAS), Hector (HMS), Brisbane (HMAS), Edgar (HMS), Minotaur (HMS), Rahmat (Malaya) CAs: Auckland (HMNZS), Encounter (HMAS), Cerberus (HMAS), Surrey (HMS), Nottingham (HMS), Monmouth (HMS) and Goliath (HMS) CBs: Defence (HMS) BCs: Rooke (HMS), Collingwood (HMS), Hawke (HMS), Duncan (HMS), BBs: Yukon (HMCS), Marlborough (HMS), Conqueror (HMS), St. Vincent (HMS), Thunderer (HMS), Devastation (HMS) CVs: Audacious (HMS), Malta (HMS)

06:38 Yeah the 419mm guns because the 16.5" guns are what G3 was going to use and it was not briefly considered, that was what the actual ship was going to use not what the "historians" will say of 16" guns The G3 Duncan class would have been far superior to every USN and IJN battleship in service even more so than Hood who was considered comparable to Colorado under the USN assessment but was superior to all existing USN Battleships, the G3 would have been truly dominant until something like the 1939 South Dakota got built as G3 was the HMS Dreadnought of her day, the 1st proper fast battleship
@@JayKayway Yeah 305mm (12") to 343mm (13.5") to 381mm (15") to 419mm (16.5") and 457mm (18") 419mm (16.5") and 457mm (18") is where the RN was going and 419mm (16.5") is what the RN would standardise on after the G3/N3 successor and a likely 1 off 508mm ship (20") plus G3 would have been majorly automated as the RN was trying to automate as much as possible
@@JayKayway Yeah the RN's initial plan was 18-inch guns on their post-QE/Rs and Hood capital ships which had the infrastructure upgrades that WW1 delayed happened then K3 aka Hawke but with her planned guns and L3 would have been chosen and K3 is Super Hood with triple 18" which would have terrified the USN and American congress
@@JayKayway Not really as building them and upgrading the infrastructure to support them will employ people plus the USA's whole view of the British dies in a ditch as K3 would prove the US Congress's belief that otl was the British couldn’t afford the Nelsons when they could Building K3s would force the IJN and USN to face reality and take a long hard look at their infrastructure and capability Something even more truly terrifying than K3 is HMS Incomparable with 20-inch guns heck the alternative is what if the 3 unfinished Admiral class converted to aircraft carriers or worse a G3 or K3-based purpose-built carrier or an Incomparable class converted to an aircraft carrier Yeah with PR ship system, the Royal Navy is a truly terrifying as it can have everything it ever wanted and not much can stop them
Wouldn't mind an Italian ship. If Im being Im not a fan of these pr ships. I know why they're here but I don't like them. I want to see more ships that existed in real life.
