Which new World of Warships line should be developed, and which existing part of the game should be rebuilt?
Short answerUse Austro-Hungarian or Spanish battleship material for a new line, while restoring carrier progression, recognizing battlecruisers, or adding a distinct pre-dreadnought era.
NotesFor a new World of Warships line, the panel first proposes Pan-European battleships built largely from Austro-Hungarian ships and plausible projects. Spain offers another route, beginning with the España class and planned British-built successors before later tiers require increasingly invented designs and Littorio-derived extrapolations. One panelist would restore the older progression of carrier tiers and separate battlecruisers from both cruisers and battleships. Dr. Clarke instead favors a pre-dreadnought era, either below the existing tiers or as a self-contained mode. The discussion shows where a historical game can rely on real fleets and where its tier structure forces conjecture.
