Leaks are bad.

They don’t like them.

Submarines will be even worse in WT than they would be in WoWS

That or H-44 (basically just an upsized version of the H-41, which is supposed to be the German tier 10 Battleship), or this so-called H-45 that was rumored to be planned (it only appeared in a book as far as I know, but it was described as being 2.5 times the length of a modern Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and being armed with four 80 cm “Schwerer Gustav” guns in single-mount turrets; I’m absolutely certain it’s a hoax, but still, the thought of such a monster is terrifying)

From what they’ve said many times, that’s the intent, yes. WoWs is their testbed for the multigun mechanism they’re working on, which will allow for multiple things from my understanding:

Existing tanks with more than one gun of higher caliber than a machine gun (i.e. B1, M3 Lee, Churchill I, KV-4, Maus etc.) will be able to use all of their weapons of at least 20 mm diameter, examples of this being that the B1 will get to use its 75 mm howitzer mounted in the hull and the M3 Lee its turret-mounted 37 mm gun. They have their disadvantages compared to the others, but they’ll have their uses. For instance, most people overlook the M3 Lee’s INSANE DPM for tier 4 (2200 – you don’t get that kind of DPM on a medium tank again until tier 7), which is currently limited by an inaccurate gun that makes hitting moving targets a swing and miss affair; that’s where the 37 mm gun comes into play, to shoot off the tracks off of a moving target and render them helpless for the 75 mm gun to finish them off.

This will also allow for multiturreted vehicles, some of which were confirmed to be added years ago, to be added to the game. Examples include the T-35, FCM F1, and Char 2C (not multiturreted, but multigunned). I have a feeling that of those vehicles the T-35 will come first, as SerB himself has stated multiple times that he’s looking forward to putting it into the game, but that it can’t even be considered until the multiturret/gun mechanism is finalized. The T-35 iirc is supposed to be premium, as are the FCM F1 and Char 2C from what I remember (although imho it might be possible to put them on their own minibranch of “superheavy” tanks, especially if they include the multiple variants of both designs that supposedly existed at least on the drawing board).

There can be loopholes in an NDA, since apparently it’s not legal (iirc) to simply say “don’t talk about it at all”. They have to specify all content that isn’t allowed to be disclosed, and if they forget something, then it might as well be free to discuss.

If WT includes submarines when they add ships, I’ll definitely be more in favor of WT than WoWs, which doesn’t seem to be including them at all.

No HMS Hood on the British tree? That’s a shame.

Also, no submarines…dammit, I was really looking forward to a f2p game that allows for the use of submarines…
