They did indeed - as for why.. well... why would you buy an expensive premium ship when the free silver equivalent is far superior?

Whatever they do with those, I would hope that you have the choice in battle to swap between them.

With respect "Do we fight battles to win them or to get the same value of xp as my opposite number", "Do I contribute as much to the team as my opposite number". XP earned can be manipulated so that the mirrored ships get the same average XP, but that is not the same as winning or contributing to the teams performance. On both these measures, which are more effectively measured via win rate and damage dealt than XP earned.

Didn't they mention that they were looking into that in one of the developer blogs or similar?

The only USN CV that outperforms it's same tier rivals is the Enterprise, which is +1% w/r and +5.5k damage - at all other tiers the US CV is at least -3% w/r AND -10% on damage (Midway, others are between -11% and -48%).

I really should take mine out for a spin - but parked at T5/T6 IJN/USN lines at present.

I get them for my T6+ ships for the 'extra' that they give (voted 6-10, might have 10+, not sure)

There is always HMS Devastator as a possibility..and that is a real name :)

You sail a ship that has sails, you drive a ship that has engines (not yachts that have secondary engines).... would be a good rule of thumb. :) But it would seem that there is no definitive answer to this question - https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/251209/what-is-the-correct-verb-for-driving-a-boat If you are a passenger, you 'sail' from A to B regardless of propulsion.

Wonder if they will have the version with the 'Q' turret as stock? (Q = middle of hull).

My wife would object....

Still want Dasha as a Captain......

Hi Guys does anyone know if WG Support have some form of 'response' time? (Not found anything and wondered if some one knows) thanks in advance

Ok, I have just received my refund now. So they are refunding packages also. A couple of hic-cups on the way, but that is probably down to left hand/right hand internal WG 'stuff'. Thank you WG guys.

Yup Lodged my refund request on Friday, had my response yesterday first thing - No, because you have used the ship in battle. I've sent 2 responses to that - 1) asking for clarification of why WG think I have used the ship (as I haven't) 2) and Why WG are not honouring the refund policy I also posted on FB, they asked for the support ticket and server, which I have supplied and I have also messaged Tuccy directly. I'll give them 24 hours then start the drums. _________________ Edit - refund now received.

A lesson you only have to learn once.... been there, learned that lesson myself...

I usually start the day with a ship that I enjoy playing - that gets me 'in the mood' to Captain, so to speak - usually, it doesn't always work, but hey, that's life.

WG Guys - have support been informed that they are to refund against the GZ as they have refused to refund mine? I have not driven it, nor used any of the gold/flags that came with the package?

Actually - I would be all in favour of opening up the purchase once again - but with a HUGE 'beware' sign that clearly states that the players who bought this would be part of a ship finalisation project. This serves 2 purposes. 1) player input in to the actual ship specification AND the process for arriving at 'balance' 2) shows if WG is actually interested in the player feedback and not just trying to put a band-aid on the current issue. Just need to be careful of players who have no idea about balance and just want OP'ness (had a discussion recently with a recruitment sergeant for the British army who said that his main purpose was rejecting those who just wanted to shoot people).

Ok, WG have made a decision - it has been removed from sale for the duration - lets wait to see what they have to say about it. (NA have also removed it, not sure about Asia, presumably yes also)

Actually, weird - it is back in the shop now.... and also on the news page - although if you click on the 'purchase' link it comes back with a 'page not found' - so just a technical glitch.

That is as good a response as we can expect - thank you for passing it on Tuccy. (And to you yourself also for staying late on a Saturday evening :) )

This is the sort of response we expect from a professional organisation, well said WG.

And as far as I know - in all of the GZ issues raised, there has been no mention of different treatment across different servers. With respect, you are tilting at windmills there (Don Quixote - seeing a problem where there is none).

No mention of Graff Zeppelin there. And no, not trying to be negative towards any other server, just surprised that she has been removed - not every server has the same ships on offer at the same time, that is a frequent enough disparity for it to be confirmed fact.
