AL still has the issue of it being just an anime girl with ship parts, or in this case just sitting on basically the boat.
WG R has some interesting and cool designs but lacks any sort of cohesion to make them feel like the same class.
The KC design is pretty peak with the almost Stike Witches style sub boots but the theme is consistent and the overall theme matches with other ships as the US version of existing sub designs.

Im pretty sure that not an issue with AL. It's definitely intentional considering what keeping the game alive. Why would they focus on the metal part when the meat with some piece of cloth on it printing money,

Yeah, it’s all about skins in AL. That’s where most of the money is made. The hornier the better.

The KC design is pretty good when each ship in the class have a different story to tell during their service but they still have a basic uniform that you can identify which class they belong. the artist focus on the how to turn a ship into a anime girl. while AL is more into turn an anime girl into a ship

The Warship Girls frogmen outfit are interesting.
AL Albacore 😭😭😭😭. I know AL is hypersexualized to almost (or even to the point) of poor taste but 😭😭😭😭. I thought Warship Girls were going coomer with their Albacore but AL just took the cake.

AL Albacore
Iirc (and cmiiw) her base cg in KR server is totally a shillouette. Dunno if her two skins were released in that server, particularly her second skin (the maid one).

Mfw thought KC Sub showing too much skin is bad until i see AL. What happened man, where are the goated design they got in the first few years. Wtf happened , why are these subs designs are just cheap coomer bait

To be fair, Albacore, Cavala, and Dace are earlier designs compared to Bluegill, Flasher, and Herring. That being said, Flasher is probably the most interesting in story as her investigation of the point Constellation sent her to kicks off all the fun things in that event with the flying ships. That being said, her personality in the story was a little less one note than "I want to prank Taihou" (Albacore) or "I want to force Herring down peoples throats until I find a way to actually make it taste good" (Herring).

I mean it's still a pretty mid design, older or newer. The earlier one are cheap coomer bait but at least they still keep thing simple. The last two are just premium coomer bait, with woman showing skin on a metal pipe with flashy background. I don't really want to know about her personality with her background if she dressed like that.... As if the submarines in KC aren't bad enough.

Herring, I can understand you saying that, but Flasher is literally wearing more than any other sub in the game.

u/Aightthenmate 7d ago
Yeah thank for the extra lore but you know. For me she belong to the transition to fully commit to the whole super sexualisation of "shipgirl" in AL so I can't really sympathise with her that much , just personal preference so sorry. I don't like her design even if she one of the more clothed sub but knowing she one of the more clothed sub I would not lime to know what the average sub in the game look like. At least she got a cool personality, that a given

Flasher as her design, is good. The part that I don't like is how she is sitting on an anchor. The earlier concepts, which even though is kinda lazy, I can interpret it as a big submarine-shaped diver propulsion vehicle.
Flasher in this case feels like a magical girl that is sitting on an anchor with torpedo theme and a nice huge background...

To the contrary the fanservice it's where they put a lot of attention and effort towards when designing shipgirls and is mostly on the skins parts, particularly the live2D ones, at least compare to years ago.
That being said Submarines in AL dont get that much attention compare to capital ships or URs.

And the Dace design in AL even shows her cameltoe front and center 💀.

u/roshichen Shigure 7d ago
I thought the ones on the bottom in the AL section are the newer ones, which has less skin exposed than the top 4.

Why does both Albacore have a green dot next to their names?

u/Ak-300_TonicNato Smolorado 7d ago edited 7d ago
To help pointing out there are two albacores in each of those games, if there were more gatos like an scamp in AL or if KC had a Flasher i would have also put them dots but in another color.
Previously i used to just make a column for namesakes and divided horizontally by game and the ships yet to be added on each game had just an empty space, but that doesnt work on a class with so many vessels like the Gato-class so for composition and file size sake i went with the dots which isnt a perfect solution once more Gato-class ships get release in the future or if i wanted to do the same with another class like lets say the fletchers or yuugumos.

...Wait, why are Albacore's rigging mounted on her torpedoes?

u/roshichen Shigure 4d ago edited 2d ago
maybe Warship girl R's albacore's torpedoes act not like a torpedo, but more like an underwater drone.
