    No. No. No. 34 knots? Machinery is going to consume at least 1/3rd of the displacement, possibly more. The turrets for the 16" guns are going to take up another 6-9,000 tons of displacement. 5-10000 tons of fuel. Where would you fit in a hanger? Where would store aircraft fuel? How would you fit any armour? It's a fantasy design.

    This is a ship bigger than Montana and topping even Yamato in stupid size. It was a real design, but it undoubtedly would've been totally mediocre, hence the Soviets abandoning it for a conventional BB from Gibbs & Cox. Normal Polmar breaks it down in Aircraft Carriers.

    They should put it in the game just for the LOLs.

    I just don't see how you could fit in all the necessaries. I guess if it had paper armour like the Lexington's or Invincibles it might perhaps be possible to put together. The guns firing would have no doubt ripped up the flight deck. The 8" guns on the Lexingtons were bad enough for that.

    No info on Soviet tree yet, neither on subs. I think it was pretty natural to start the game with US/Japanese only.

    And the Tirpitz was mentioned.

    So I have enough money to buy a new tank - Just one for now. Ferdinand, GW Panther, T29, or IS?

    Ferdinand is fun once you get it's best gun.
    T29 is quite fun - I really like it.
    IS - can be fun sometimes, suck at others - a bit inconsistent performance but there are certainly worse tanks out there.

    The only inconsistent performance of the IS is its armor in my eyes , but the top gun is worth it. The IS can hurt pretty much every other tank out there.

    Not yet. They are concentrating on expanding WoT and releasing World of Warplanes. But those fearing Battleships is a long time in the making, an outside developer has been tendered to overlook the project. This should speed things up considerably.

    All I have to say about this game is that the timeline must begin in WWI at the very latest. Many great warships in that era alone. That's when the Admiral-class battlecruiser HMS Hood was conceived to counter the Mackensen-class Imperial German battlecruiser being considered at the time.
