About the new Tier 8 ships
-
America Destroyer
Allen M. Sumner
Fletcher in Tier 7, Gearing in Legend, and the only thing in between is the Sumner class! But I'd expected the most famous of the Sumner class, the Laffey, to show up, but since it's a WG anyway, it won't. Furthermore, the length of the MK37 fire control system is characteristic of the earlier ships of the Sumner class, and the tree ships are basically the first ships of the same class, which is the trend of the selection of the first ships of the same class! Incidentally, the Sumner class is only available in the PC version as a tier 10 pan-DD.

America Cruiser
Buffalo
It is equipped with the characteristic three 203mm triple cannons, two in the front and two in the rear, and it is an American cruiser.Of course, there are no torpedoes. Because of the increase in the number of main guns, the total number of shells fired has increased, but the loading time for each gun has increased, so the number of shells fired when the ship is fighting upright has decreased.

America Battleship
Maine?
New Hampshire?
Louisiana?
The video released shows that the rear deck is exactly the same as Montana's. However, the video shows that turret 1 is a double-barreled gun, and we can assume that turret 4 is also a double-barreled gun. The Montana class, Ohio, is a double-barreled gun. It is possible that the Montana may appear as a degraded version of the Maine of the 3rd class, the New Hampshire of the 4th class, or the Louisiana of the 5th class.

Japan Destroyer
Yugumo
The placement of the rear deck torpedo launchers, torpedoes, and main guns indicate that she is a Yugumo. Her loading time is shorter than that of the Kagero, making her effective as an anti-destroyer depending on her customization.
-
Japan Cruiser
Ibuki
Speed is increased, but maneuverability (steering) is a little worse. Main gun range, main gun load time, and airworthiness have improved a little, but armor and other features remain the same.
-
Japan Battleship
Izumo
A very distinctive main gun arrangement, the one that put the Yamato spirit into Nelson. I still think it looks odd to have all the main guns in front of the ship The original idea of the Yamato type... It was a plan before the Yamato design and was utilized in the construction of the Yamato type. The penetrating power of the 41cm gun and AP rounds is comparable to that of the Yamato.
-
Germany Destroyer
Z46(Fiese)
She has a lot of strength for a destroyer and is equipped with a continuous-fire gun with an excellent loading speed. It inherits poor mobility, but as for speed, it will be able to operate without much difficulty.
-
Germany Cruiser
Roon
It has three 203mm cannons in a Nuremberg or Königsberg-like arrangement. It has a long range and fast loading time, but its frontal firepower is reduced and its mobility is not very high, so it is better to fire at the rear than to fight on the front line.
-
Germany Battleship
Friedrich der Große
It can be loaded with a 40cm class main gun. Instead of reduced mobility and concealment, it now has sufficient anti-aircraft guns and armor.
-
USSR Destroyer
Delny
A rare child among Soviet destroyers with a proper torpedo in its initial state. 50mm armor around the center of the flanks can shatter cruiser HE rounds. This guy is tier 10 in the PC version...
-
USSR Cruiser
Dmitry Donskoi
The main gun is 180mm, which is larger than that of the light cruisers, and the firepower has increased, but the loading time has worsened because of the larger main gun and the projectile capacity itself has decreased. I hope the ship type has 27mm
-
USSR Battleship
Sovietskiy Soyuz
It was expected to come in Tier 7, but I didn't expect Soyuz to come in with an additional 8. Gun turning is on par with cruisers, and both sides have been strengthened overall, making them more resistant to HE.
