    Some of you may have heard Battler's Connection is coming out with a Bismarck hull. Give me your top 5 ships that should be the next hull they make. Think of something you'd want to buy not a weird ship that no one would want. It does not matter if someone else already makes it. Speak now and maybe your pick will be next.

    I would like to see the USS Arizona hull(the pennsylvania class), the FS Richelieu Hull, the USS Nevada Hull, the Littorio Hull or the HMS Fiji Hull. This is my top 5, I hope especially for the Richelieu to be next. And does anyone know when Bismark will go into production?

    Joker, the Vanguard is already being made by Tugboat's RC Artwerks.

    Just my honest opinion but the next hull should be a boat that is not currently in production anywhere.

    i stand corrected Tug. And i totally agree, it ruins the idea of a new hull, if its already being made, by someone else.

    1)Iron Duke
    2)Kongo (WW1 or 2 doesnt matter)
    3)Northampton (or Portland)
    4)British WW2 Southampton class
    5)Nurnburg (similar to K, but I think it's a far superior design imho)

    Submarines and merchants. And while they're at it, I'd like to see a quality piston ballast tank system suitable for big submarines.

    Baltimore seems to be a popular entry, but i think that it wouldnt pass, because BC also makes the Des Moines, which is a comprable ship
