If they launch more Bovington packages, they should make them available outside of EU. They had some nice packages last time, I would have gotten one if it was available.

- attitude of Wargaming towards history is very positive
When it comes to the glorious soviet history I’m sure they are, but not towards anything else.

There was a Z class destroyer and a Black Swan class sloop up for sail in Egypt in July, they should have bought them.

I doubt we even have the technology to raise a shipwreck from a depth of 300+ metres. Sadly our ship raising technology isn’t all that great (or cheap, 300 million dollars to upright the costa concordia)

Though the biggest issue is that Yamato is the grave to over 3000 seamen. It would be none too savvy to disturb them.

Oh c’mon, they were talking about restoring a ship that can still float on water by itself! Not bringing up a broken in half gigantic battleship wreck! That’s beyond anyone’s expenses.

For a warship prolly 50 – 100 mil (thinking WW2 battleship) but as you said it is dependant on the size and age.

I have a suggestion for the warship. Yamato!!! That would be insane… I would finally pay something for this game if they gave a package with proceedings going into lifting it and restoring to its former glory.

And Graf Zeppelin too. Still, raising ships is even more scarily expensive…

- it’s possible Wargaming will have (pay for) some sort of warship restored in the future

There’s a very intact half of a ship of the line under the baltic sea that could do with being raised and preserved…

…ignoring the fact that it’s somewhat older than anything they usually deal with
