00:00Hello everybody Toreno here and today we've got
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe configuration in which it will be added
00:20to War Thunder and it was placed in reserve in
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat will be added as a regular vehicle because
00:42unfortunately the Des Moines is going to be a Rank
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbasically the pinnacle of U.S heavy Cruisers in
01:06the post-war period, being commissioned in 1948 it
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined15
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit has a hell of a lot of twin 76 millimeter gun
01:31mounts, it has 12 of them in fact compared to
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcourse towards the end of the war as aircraft got
01:55faster and weapon ranges increased the Oerlikon
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined23
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfiring far outside of their effective range
02:13it's still going to put off the enemy aircraft
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcourse the Des Moines has a lot more anti-aircraft
02:32guns that need manning so I don't know if they
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined31
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhich again like I've said I think is going to be
02:50inferior to the Des Moines is a rank 5 vehicle
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined35
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand potentially even 6.3 like the USS Newport
03:12News which like I say I think it's Superior to
undefined:undefined00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:10,500
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgolden eagles, 30 days of premium and 3 pre-order
03:37bonuses if you buy it now, which is the title "the

undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda regular cruiser, I'd be very disappointed if
03:58these remained only as premium vessels, but we'll
