iDuckman Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 As announced in the 13.1 Release Notes, Wisconsin - the third Iowa-class battleship in the game - will be distributed to testers at Tier X. AFAIK, the main difference with Big Whiskey is that she has extensive flag accommodations. Obviously we won't be able to talk about the game version until she's released, but we can discuss what makes her historically unique. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrath_of_Deadguy Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Really hope she's a coal ship. It'd be lovely if she were a coal ship. Now we're just missing New Jersey (the weeb skin doesn't count). Shame, that. Hope that, when she finally arrives, she's in her "Black Dragon" guise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the rules on Devstrike changed so that we can't discuss content in testing anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then maybe coal six months down the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermore135 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Wisconsin will probably be a July 4 release in some form, as I believe she is the only US ship in development at the moment. The centerpiece of the July 4 event is also usually a historical ship (Enterprise, Massachusetts, California, San Diego, and West Virginia have all been July 4 releases), another point in her favor. A dockyard release would be… questionable. I’d like to think the minds at WG realize that rolling out such a famous and anticipated ship like Wisconsin as a limited release would not go over well, especially after what happened with MO. She will probably be a FOMO limited time release that will later return in the Armory. Given that RI was released in the same way earlier this year, my bets would be on RI returning for coal and WI for steel.

(Open question for all, just in case Duckman knows things about this that he's not allowed to talk about.) If I were in charge, if I were to split the Iowa class ships into tiers, I'd enhance the little things that would make them "more effective..." Radar (longer, further) - Secondary Range, then Accuracy - Speed is a given - built in gun stabilization - and, an AA increase that is "user aimable" (as we had long before...)

Also new, refined model (based on that of Illinois), modified citadel module (completely submerged also like that of Illinois) and improved ballistics (similiar to German and British 16.5-incher guns). Basically a new ship sharing not that much (even the model is different) with her historical sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yedwy Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 If the release ends up beeing in the latest WG T10 fashion of endless random bundles costing upwards of 300€ for the buyout and the ship usually ending up in the last 10 or so percent of the chain well I ll pass unless its the first one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
