Scarlet Thunder - British Tier IX Premium Battleship 1949 (Released)

 Scarlet Thunder - British Tier IX Premium Battleship 1949

Scarlet Thunder will keep most of Duncan's features, but her gameplay will be closer to that of a standard Battleship, the ship will have better plating (32mm), no torpedoes, and no Engine Boost consumable. The main battery guns have a longer firing range and reduced reload time, and the HE shells will deal more damage.
