Oh sorry, I actually misread and thought it was for the registered accounts on Spain. My fault, sorry.

I have to say it. I really did not expect any sort of event like this, but I’m not only thankful but amazed by the details. The fact it’s only for the guys that are registered in Spain (like the one writing this and the Spanish community) is nothing short of astonishing. Thank you! For real, this is great! Thank you so much!!

Summer Days? Seems more like Summer Whales haha Shame they do not offer sales as they used to. I remember grabbing the OG T7 Belfast in them. Shame this is the way things are done now.

Title Ingame, Canarias is listed as using the 256lb AP (AP shell weights 85kg ingame) with a muzzle velocity of 814 m/s. However, according to NavalWeapons link here, the weight for AP is 116.12KG, with a muzzle velocity of 885 m/s. Why is that?? The ship is all about it's AP and frankly, is not enough. Why is it this way? How can WG claim they follow the history while having this pretty significant discrepancy??

I had hoped for more damage and a flatter shell arc imo. Less damage than other 203mm, 180 and Nuren 150s is a freaking joke, and you lack all things except the AP. Plus, if the enemy angles, you are toast. You either bounce or do very little, even with a full salvo.

I really hope the captains are sold individually, but knowing how things play out usually, I don’t have much confidence. Also still no Tirpitz commander and/or camouflage WG I’m willing to pay for a full admiral pack with camouflage of her ! But please, make it somewhat reasonable and don’t make things only for boxes!!

I just got the Spanish one and it still sounds like Latam…. Where is the proper dub?

So I take you also consider Ark Royal and Lexington the same? They both speak English and they both sunk Off topic aside, I believe that Dido should not have been butchered like that. The ship seems like a worse Rahmat, which I find ironic

I really hope they save the modernized Tosa, Owari (Kii class) and the N13 for the IJN BC tree, with Tosa replacing Amagi in the slow line

Canarias for me (I am Spanish, obvious choice)!! Cant wait to see the potential tree we may get but…. PLEASE FIX THE VOICES!! NO LATAM SPANISH ACCENT IN A SPANISH (FROM SPAIN, EUROPE) SHIP Sorry for caps, need to make that thing clear

I find it somewhat plausible in the case of the Pommern, but for tier 10, it makes no sense to use anything below 380s I have to wonder if WG actually cares about the narrative they build up or just forget after posting the reasons. Kind of how “Super ships were made in a timeline where CVs did not win the race” while, at the same time, they added the new super CVs.

So yet again, according to WG, the Germans go for low caliber guns because….reasons?? Can you guys actually have a bit of common sense? I had hoped that Preussen was the sign of things changing. But nope!! Low caliber guns have to be the norm for the Germans!! And why not 38cm? You know, to actually be somewhat feasible after Brandenburg->Pommern? It would make sense to have 38cm, even 35cm guns. German 305mm is not a particularly stellar weapon

Brest looks alright imo Will probably get her just because I grew fond of the Dunkerque, despite my initial reservations

Wish the NDA allowed us to see the spreadsheet and see where exactly it over performs because I doubt it is a better ship than Pensacola, Trento or any other cruiser of that tier

Wow Now Canarias have less AP alpha than Devonshire, Trento and Aoba, even less than Nuremberg. And let’s not forget that it does not have torpedos, HE, SAP or something like that. Just…..wow Dido is extremely disappointing too

Remember that, even if a ship is based on something but has different stats or quality, it would not be a clone per se. For example, AL Rossiya is different than Soyuz, despite being almost a 100% match to the tech tree A hull. WG could very much leave it as a more AA Littorio and call it a day, or make her a bit slower, less nimble, but with some tweaks. No SAP, no smoke, maybe def AA or some kind of gimmick and that’s it.

That tree is really nice, but imo, the top tier BBs should follow the trend of using Littorio-Roma kind of ships. The reasons are many to be listed here but the main one would be the fact that, from 1939 onwards, the SECN (Sociedad Española de Construcción Naval-Spanish Society for Naval Construction) was ended, thus finalizing the UK-Vickers influence on future ship designs for the Spanish navy. As such, I strongly believe that WG should go for improved, better Roma-ish kind of ships. My friend @manolojones is preparing a special post discussing the “Spanish Littorio” for this evening, so I recommend you check that if you have interest. To be fair, that’s even better than the PanAsia CLs we just got. Let’s just check: Cruisers: All the way to Canarias are both real, built and fought (Just a small tidbit: the name is Galicia, not Galacia) The remaining ones are real projects; the fact that the Amalfi and Bríndisi were designs for Spain makes easy for WG to pick the remaining design and making her a tier 8. The tier 9 could be a “buffed Amalfi” or a “weakened” Pr138, leaving the improved, modernized 138 for tier 10. For the tier 7 we need a fabrication, but that’s not uncommon in wows (see Harleem for example) Battleships: What I said above Destroyers: Little to add to Kingping tree You could even add CVs! But do we really need more? As you can see, Spain can fill more branches, with more real built ships than even things like Dutch cruisers, PanAsia CLs, Soviet CVs and so on

While I agree with on the fact that European tree should be properly named Sweden, there are still 2 ships which are not from there. So unless they actually rework those, they will stick to panEuro. Also, calling small navies both the Dutch and Spanish ones seems to be a misunderstanding. Sure they were not world leading navies, but they still got much more action than some others.

@Seraphice will the Atlantic camo also be available through shop or only for bundles?? Thanks for the clarification on the other subject

Will Canarias only be available through bundle and tokens or also (including the special camo) through premium shop?

Do we have an image for the alternative Tirpitz camouflage?? I really hope it’s for the Norwegian one

Canarias seem to actually be fun and decent now, instead of a gimmick only ship. I didn’t feel that waiting 50 seconds for 2 small bursts was justified. Now it seems to be kind of an AP only Pensacola, and I very much like that. The fixed torps should be added, but right now, it’s in a good spot imo

Thank god they changed the Canarias. Now if they could model the fixed tubes into it, it would pretty nuts. Even if the torps are not that good. We have Mutsu with similar situation, Forrest Sherman too IIRC, so why not? Still, the change is very much welcomed. I am gonna get her the moment she pops up in store

It also happened to the Spanish and Turkish forums so, coming from a Spaniard, all I can say is my best wishes to the Italian community. I can tell that this is something hard to digest, but what I can advice is for you guys to stay strong by sticking together. IIRC there is a saying in Latin that reads: Ad augusta per angusta, which would seem something like “To the greatest through the most difficult situations”. My wish is that your community gets stronger because of this. Maybe you can create a place of your own. My best regards and wishes for you all
