Eh, well, I might get it(though I DID just combine getting another game with a tip from Jingles, and bought Bloodbowl 2 from Paladin games...see how that all works out...), but even if I do, I'm not PLAYING it until I feel I can easily handle a ship LIKE that...which would, probably, be at around...well, Tier VIII anyway...and I'm not there yet.
Wish, oh WISH I could've gotten the Warspite. Suspect I'll just junk all my ships when the Brits and Germans come along, and, more or less, start over.
Be interesting to see what ELSE Wargaming thinks up, too. There are a few other navies, after all, beyond Brit/US/Russia/Germany/Japan. I'd LOVE to see the Richelieu, for instance...two forward QUAD 15" turrets...there's a weird arrangement.
The italian Littorios were fairly modern and capable. The Dutch had a, small ,navy, and a well modern one, and did have a battlecruiser in the design stages, something that Wargaming isn't adverse to as WoT shows.
And then, of course, there is Sweden which, while neutral, had a fairly respectable fleet. Not something that could've stood up to a dedicated effort, perhaps, but enough to make any of the other players consider if it was worth it. A sort of 'everything that isn't the first five' collection, perhaps? As well as various premium, of course.
