Is it possible to get RJW ships in their glorious good old yellow-white-black scheme instead?

I can try and make them any colour you like,I will look for any colour photos of the ships online and take it from there.[;)]

Will these beauties end up starting in Vladivostok in a future Dreadnoughts at War update?

Answer is yes,they will start in Vladivostok,but I'm already planning on doing another scenario roundabout xmas time,which will have even more countries involved,I'm thinking of having Russia active from the very start.[8D]

New version Tsesarevich class[8D]

Navarin Pre-dreadnought.[;)]

A good looking ship, but didn't she sink at the battle of Tsushima?

There are a great many ships that I'm doing art for, that were as you say already sunk,before War Plan Orange time period is covered in the game,these ships are for my Dreadnoughts at War scenario,which is a what if scenario,meaning what if the German High Seas fleet did not scuttle it's self at Scapa flow,and the Invincible battlecruiser ect were not sunk at Jutland,and instead they survived long enough to take part in a world war that was based in the Pacific,as per War Plan Orange.

If High Seas fleet is unscuttled, why not bring back 2nd and 3rd Baltic Fleets from Tsushima?

Well surprisingly they are back I'm doing the art for them at the moment,so nearly every Russian Pre-Dreadnought,Dreadnought,Armoured cruiser etc will be in the game based at Vladivostok.[8D]
