Today we will talk about the upcoming Pan-Asian DD line, that has been just revealed. Of course this line is very important for ASIA server, but apart from historical representation, it will also bring new ships and experience for all players worldwide.
The main challenge of course is to unite the ships of Great Britain, USA, USSR, Japan and Germany, so the whole line has some special gameplay flavor. The most obvious suggestion for that would be a specific consumable, but it’s not necessarily the best way.
For instance, we can make the line unique with specific torpedo armament. After we test the Pan-Asians with normal loadout, we plan to test deep water torpedoes. Deep water torpedoes interact with draught of the target: they can easily pass underneath a light ship without any damage! As a trade-off, such torpedoes can boast improved concealment, so catching those BB by surprise would be easier. Will it work? Will these torpedoes make it to release and bring more variety to World of Warships? Time and tests will tell.
And some more answers from Tuccy and Kandly:
Q: What are the plans for ‘minor’ nations navy’s like the Royal Netherlands Navy or Swedish Navy, if there are any? Those nations could fill (sometimes incomplete) lines and there are some quite famous/historically important ships from these kind of nations.
A: It’s a bit too early for this, however maybe a similar approach to the Pan-Asian line could be taken – then again that is still a thing of far future. Some European designs are rather interesting and often they offer more than one variant (De Zeven Provincien, looking at you! :D).
So: In the future, maybe. In the short term, not likely – we have other fish to fry first.
