Tier 12 ships leak

Let me explain. Tier 12 ships don't have holes in them. In fact navyfield 2 does not have tier 12 ships available just yet.

In the 10th June weekly update, the development team listed out ships that were still being planned for release and by so doing sparked a bit of chatter amongst the community. 

However the list only showed that there were tier 12 battleships, the reason for this being recent forum activity based on in-game evaluations*. While this doesn't necessarily mean that there will only be tier 12 battleship while every other class gets behind, it shows us a couple of things.

1) The community is affecting what developers are altering about the state of navyfield 2. *One recent forum post, highlighted the need for improved defence ratings for battleships which generally are lower than other ship classes, particularly past tier 7. This forum post has drawn responses from the community quickly.

2) Battleships, and by extension all ships are still in need of fine tuning. Ongoing balance is always required, especially with some ships performing extremely well and others not fulfilling their intended role(s).

It's tricky to test out just how well a ship is against another ship without having a specific test area to do some trials.

Also in a test setting situations will rarely be the same as a general matchmaking setting where many things happen at once and with many people of varying skill levels and ship/officer level.

And both of those settings will not be the same as the fleet war setting either. Where you will expect all players to be sporting high level and morale boosted officers and their highest level ships.

Tier XII

They will be the BB 4/5 equivalents from navyfield, and will include the:

• USN _ Montana
• RN _ Lion
• IJN _ A150  (super yamato)
• KM _ H44

These ships while never built in reality were planned and had some pretty big damn guns on them some having 20-inch guns.

But these hips were also very very tough things to destroy, and their survivability was a culmination of more than 50+ years of battleship design and testing.

Sadly they were so incredibly expensive in terms of cost and material, let alone the fact that battleships were past their golden years and were a dying breed.

Many on the community forums and in-game are buzzing with anticipation to get enough research on their current tier XI ships so they can buy the tier XII's outright when they get introduced to the game.
