World of Warships - Developer Diaries: Stalingrad

The 2nd of February marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad. Perfect timing to feature the beautiful Cruiser named after this historical city.

Openly admitting that this will be stronger than one of the best cruisers in game and probably will also be "the very top ship of the game"? Bold move for a developer to state that it will be OP AND also only be given to the best players in the game. :D RIP T10 MM. xDD

Just a shame that only few players will ever get this.

I'm with a small clan of people who play for fun. Despite having some good players we are not organized enough to take part in the clan wars on a regular basis, which means I have no chance to ever get this ship.

I love the smell of fresh bias in the morning

Peter Jackson while filming LotR: "I want those mountains bigger!"
WG when making Russian cruisers: "I want the Russian bias bigger!"

Well. We have the stalingrad class for USSR
The alaska class for USN
and the Design B-65 for Japanese

Poor Graf spee, no longer the biggest cruiser dongs.

[CallicoJackracham]

So one of the ships i have been hoping the most would come to the game someday and it will be an OP ships that only the best players (who already are OP in their own rights) will be able to get it. Yeah sure sounds fair...

Should've made her a battleship for a soviet BB line.

[rickyrahma]

Actually this cruiser is one of finest cruiser planned which already laid down. Suprisingngly her hull was so strong even she can stands missile strike when her project was abandoned and become missile test ship instead.

[krivdik]

not just ranked battles, , but clan battles, whelp not a chance of ever getting it then for me, what a shame, and I always wanted to see it or even sail it ingame.

[zagreus]

Well we got the USSR battlecruiser Stalingrad now we need its opponent the USS Alaska class battlecruiser

[suwang]

Why not make it available to all players?

[nbtotale]

Oh god... she's also going to be the go- to cruiser for CW, as you can only fit 1 BB in CW...

[tillerzeit]

FUCKING 12 INCH GUNS ON A CRUISER?!?!?!?! I mean I know the Graf Spee was pushing it with her 11 inchers but she was at least built

[quatschkopq]

the main question: *Does it get laser guns?*

[rony]

How about battlecruiser kronshtadt, it was actually a predecessor if stalingrad, almost the size of a battleship and had bugger guns than stalingrad

[michaelm]

Since Navyfeild classic has them when will we see hybrid carriers for Japan? I would love to see the hybrid carrier battleship Isea.

[Pyeknu]

Makes me wonder if they're going to put the Project 21 (Sovétskij Sojúz) class battleships into the game. Perfect for Tier 10 or 9 since it was between an Iowa and a Montana in size and armament.

[nicholaswhitfield]

Having this at a T10 cruiser opens the door to Alaska being a T10 cruiser too, which is something people were wondering about.

[sadge]

I was just thinking are you sure the graf spee has 280 mm guns oh 305mm guns that is literally larger than some bbs at t3
As my friend would say
THATS NOT LEGAL
