    Oh right, we do see one in-game in the deadmines. The ship at the end is one. Imagine one of those with the new Horde redesign. 2-3 would rape Stormwind from the coast! Or since WoW doesn't give two shits and a fuck about physics and logic, turn them into their new airships(Ofcourse they would be designed to be a bit more logical). Propel them with cannon fire!

    The boat in Deadmines is actually a juggernaught.

    Except the horde don't have a mana bomb anymore. The old one was powered by the focusing iris; the horde no longer has that. The only other mana bombs seen was the one that blew up the Cenarion Circle camp in terrokar, and, while lethal, wasn't destructive, and the one at Firewing point, which looks like it took quite a time to charge up.



    If anything, the Alliance should invest in more of the All-terrain Submarines and Airships. The Submarines are nigh-indestructible (saddle em with some rockets and you've got one of the most powerful war machines ever seen in WoW,) and the Skyfire has already proved itself to be a wrecking machine all on its own.

    The Alliance needs to start using Nukes as payback for the mana bomb. And by nukes I mean trashcans filled with leper gnomes and dynamite.

    They have the knowledge and the resources to build these things en masse if they chose to, the sunwell is back after all. The average Manabomb is not nearly as lethal as the one used in Theramore, but still quite deadly.

    You probably wont see any new or improved Ally war machines for a long time, because they don't have anything to fight.

    Battle in the air? Your airships are effectively indestructible, Horde airships can be wiped out by a few infantry (Gilneas).

    Battle at sea? Once again, your ships are indestructible. According to the quest text, the Horde at DP have been blowing up the ammo on those same two ships every few days without sinking or even seriously damaging them. Horde ships are mostly unarmed transports, we have no warships. The crew has to shoot the enemy ships with hand weapons. The only exception are Forsaken warships, which are rarely seen.

    Battle on ground? Ally have steam and spider tanks. Horde have self propelled catapults (the forsaken one and the demolisher). Anti-infantry weapons, basically. The poor steam tank has no worthy enemies to fight.
    Next step: making all machines invisible and able to regenerate damage using night elf technology.

    What does your Krakken have on us now Horde?!?!

    You know, that's a good point. Where are all the blood elven ships in the battle? I mean there were a bunch of them around there when we saved Quel'Danas, so there must be a few left, so why aren't they in the battle? I'm sure they could be manned with other Horde members if there's not enough blood elves.

    We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"

    They are primitive even in magic field.

    Seriously, the isolation turned them into joke.

    Well well well, the Alliance have 3 variations of battleships while the Horde only has 1 and still the Alliance fans find a way to complain. Yeah, nothing new here.

    3, actually, the forsaken and blood elves have their own ship models.

    you think magic would work fine, i think it wouldn't. /shrug

    controlling the wind might be problematic because there are often several allied ships close by that might not want to move in the same direction, so the wind would have to be controlled very locally.

    and remember, shamans and mages and the like who are as powerful and skilled as named NPCs or players are, lorewise, very, very rare.

    but then again: all this is assuming there is actually a reasoning behind these things, which most likely isn't the case.

    Before Wrath the Horde fleet would be mainly of foresaken vessels that you see in the gilneas area. Wrath really brought technology forward for both Horde and Alliance because we seen new Horde and Alliance architecture, airships, Horde warships etc

    So really the Horde currently has 3, the main ships that you see a lot now (orcish themed) the foresaken and the blood elf ships which really don't get any on screen time. We first seen them in 2.4 and have only recently seen them again in 5.2.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the Forsaken ship. Still, the Blood Elf ship is shared with the Silver Covenant, who are Alliance.

    So is the forsaken ship a recolor of 2 models of alliance ships.
    Also, to add, goblins have ships/frigates too. So goblins and blood elfs have ships, while Draenei (exodar not counted) and Worgen (they dont have any more questing zones beside gilneas too, thanks blizzard!) don't . Lame, isnt it?
    So, add this to the horde ships, wich makes the horde the winner in number of ship models, wich probably isnt surprise to anyone, since blizzard couldn't care less for the alliance.
    Where is your Warchief now?
