I’ve not got much interest in fantasy ships, however the Graf Zeppelin CV was maybe far enough advanced to be considered virtually a reality. My main focus tho is likely to remain with warships that saw actual wartime service.

... I can't agree more ...!

Also cannot agree more! Those wet dream third Reich super weapons that never had a chance to get realised really don't belong into the sim!
We could use more Torpedo Boat class ships, Sperrbrecher, maybe a S-100 S-boat, maybe also the odd Hilfskreuzer...such ships would make sense...
The Scharnhorst/Gneisenau will be great additions too, I am looking forward to seeing these join the virtual fleet..
Maybe also a repaint for the Hipper as everything is here already to add it to the sim, we have the classfiles, the 3d model and the it...

The German Light cruisers Köln one of the Königsberg class light cruiser was commissioned In 1930s, until 1945, it was sunk by the American bombers. But Köln was modified a Landing platform for Experiment  FI-282 To the Testbed.

Well don't wanna spoil the party here too much but don't we have a lotta planes that never made it to the battlefield or at least were just plans, maybe just prototypes etc.!? Who's "upset" about those masterpieces!?      Dunno if it is that "annoying" to have some fictious stuff as well. And "Grosser Kurfürst" for ex. would make my day a lot and could be the main attraction of exciting new missions and campaigns, maybe also in the future scenario "The Attack on the USA" when we now have Me-264 (new cockpit anyone!?)  and so could create a very new chapter with US-maps etc. .  Ships are amazing also in our game and this new quality Ashe is coming up with teases, wakes the appetite and makes wanting  more and even makes wanna wish a total overhaul of our fleets -seriously -  look at the fine details of the new ships. That is a milestone ahead if you ask me.     And for Auxilary Cruiser I would love to see the "Orion" cos my dad was sailing on her. That would mean a lot to me. Just saying. Alright, where's "Mr. Scharnhorst"!?

Well, to be honest I do not like most of those fantasy planes either... If some people need their wet fantasies about German super wonder weapons that kill their opponents with one shot of a super duper 50mm gatling MKwhatever fine, but pls annoy the WarThunder crowd....
Also, what attack on the USA scenarios??? Did I miss something?  Nazi Germany did not have the resources to sustain an attack on the East Coast with anything but submarines.
If you read about the Me-264, you will see that it was far from being an Amerika-bomber as envisaged...it could maybe reach the East Coast, but the payload would be ridiculously small for that purpose and without an escort, the 264 would have just been a big fat target for any fighter attacking it...
And don't get me going on the fleet programs of the Nazis...complete and unfulfillable crap...
Sorry for the rant but IMHO it would make more sense to fill the few voids that are still there with regard to missing planes that really were used in the war and any ships are more than welcome, as long as they really operated in the war...

The super dreadnoughts were never a good way for germany to use its limited resources of steel. What would be more useful. One super dreadnought or alternatively say 1000 Panther tanks. Uses roughly the same quantity of steel. If they had proceeded with them then Britain could have countered by completing the Lion Class Fast  Battleships, two of which were already laid down. Along with the existing fleet carriers the RN would have maintained a significant lead.

... very nice ships art by Carlo Cestra here:

... and if you click on a ship, and then move your mouse pointer above it, you then can enlarge that green square up to 22161x13413 ...!!!

While the Italian cruiser designs were mostly based on flawed tactical and doctrinal thinking, they were really beautiful ships..

[asheshouse]

The Italian warships are some of my favourites. Its maybe about time that my Caio Duilio model had some company?

About that Köln light cruiser, one of the Königsberg class, was modified a landing platform.
