Dreadnoughts / War Thunder

The XIX century changed the navies of the world, completely revolutionizing the way ships were built. Steam-propelled ironclads protected by steel armour plates took the place of wooden sailing ships that had been used all over the world for centuries. Rapid technological advancements in the fields of communication and military engineering propelled colonial empires into the age of the never-ending naval arms race — and in 1906 the rules of the game changed once again, as the British Royal Navy launched a revolutionary new flagship — the HMS Dreadnought, creating a new class of warships called dreadnought battleships.

What War Thunder needs, as a whole, is an update dedicated to quality gameplay improvements, not just naval, but ground and air too. No new vehicles, no premiums, no maps. Just improvements to balance, the economy, glitches, decompression etc. It sounds implausible, i know, but there are many players who would probably return after hearing about such an update. I really do love this game but ita due a fix up

If Japanese plans had come to fruition, this class of ship would have been known as Satsumas. Arranging turrets in a hexagon was not unusual, early designs for the Dreadnoughts had guns in an hexagonal arrangement, as did some US designs. The 10" guns of Satsuma were originally to have been 12s giving her a big gun battery of a single calibre in a hexagonal arrangement. The hexagonal arrangement was also found on other semi-dreadnoughts.

The conversation that went on when building battleships: Engineers: How many guns do you want? Britain: YES, YES, YES

Hello Gaijin, do you have any plans on adding at least one of the Kongo-class battlecruisers/fast battleships in their WWI specs for the Japanese blue water fleet in the future? I ask as a late 1890s/early 1900s British-built Japanese warship enthusiast. Also, as a new naval battles player, I have a suggestion, why not create an entirely new bluewater fleet tech tree exclusively for the WWI-era vessels? This way things will not only be historically accurate, but at least a bit fairer.
