I was hoping to see some smaller patrol boat types or similar for the soviets but nothing in the choices. I'm not particularly up on the types etc. so I was hoping someone else would mention something!
Maybe team discretion to get something into an area lacking.
"That's right son, join the navy. Get behind a bloody big gun and knock the hell out of somebody"
"We went out, got our arses kicked, then came back again"
No reason you couldn't add a thread seeking information about those class of ships in general discussion or naval research to give them exposure.
I did notice a few people voting for the HMAS Sydney (iii)- Majestic Class. She wasn't authorised for the RAN until 1947, and commissioned in 1948. I'd hate those votes not to count because of the commissioning dates being well outside wartime era
Can someone give me some details on the German pieces Bussard & Hans Rolshoven. I think I saw some pics a bit back in another thread but can't remember exactly. Looked interesting though.

Think that was me, at least for Bussard. Here you go.
Catapult Ship Bussard...
In 1942 the German Kriegsmarine ordered two catapult ships, the "Bussard" and "Falke". These ships could launch up to 3 heavy flying boats like the BV 138, Do 18 or DO 24. They served as a forward bases in Danish and Norway waters for recon and surveilance missions. Booth survived the war. Set of 2 with 6 additional BV 138 flying boats.
Hello, I'm a new member of the forum but I've been playing W@S with a friend of mine for a little of over a year now. I just wanted to make a post in here before I vote so that you guys know I'm not a spam account someone made so they could vote twice.

I didn't nominate a US cruiser, but I think Minneapolis would have been considerably better than Vincennes or Chicago. Minneapolis had a much more positive career including 16 battle stars.

I'm looking for new destroyer classes in UK given the vast amount they built. I was looking up the two nominated USN heavy cruisers, USS Chicago CA 29 and USS Vincennes CA 44. I think USS Chicago would be a better choice with the ship's various amounts of damage she took through out the war before being sunk. Being thinking on some 'Survival' special abilities for her.

While I would love the RAN to get a carrier I also think this ship doesn't belong in W@S.
This is a good example of why we need a more comprehensive set of guidelines as to what can be nominated and what can't. This ship shouldn't even be a contender for nomination.

Hms Ocean was very close to being transferred in 1945. Thats what i voted for

USS Chicago basically had an incompetent martinet for a captain. When you dig into it that cruiser is not one you really want to have to make a card for.
HMS Starling would be a truly unique new destroyer class (Modified Black Swan class sloop.) We have all the main UK "fleet destroyer" classes now. Keep in mind they ordered them in groups of 6 (or 7 with a leader) and were often repeats of the previous "class." A/B, C/D, E/F, G/H, J/K/N, L/M, O/P etc were the same. Arguably there isn't much difference from A to F.
The bad thing about escort destroyers is they are slow and don't have torpedoes. So they are very niche units.
