The reason why I didn't go into details about balance or a comparison is exactly because of all the reasons you mentioned. Wrong tier, different set up. I merely wanted to point out Graf Spee as an 'out of the box' ship. When it came out most YouTuber could not make up their mind about it. They could see it strenghts but found it hard to make them work or at least de the general population do so. People thought it just that it came via campaign or sale for the busy/lazy because making this a purely for money ship was inconceivable. It was to much of a novelty. To special, to 'out there'... Now that was how long ago? What happend? People very slowly warmed up to her, got to even love her. It has a regular tech tree spot. What I'm basically saying is. WG should implement more 'strange' ships that defy normal classes. And the its up to is to not expect a grand almost op ship. But rather a quirky, needs time (a year) to get used to, ship. Balance is important but a lot off players like variety in their prems. Make it weird! In time we will love it. Just dont expect OP or ranked battle win button.

All you guys wonder about balance or place, will it work? Hybrid, can it exist. WG already tested this. And the anwser is yes, but it will seem a failure at first and then people will love it more and more over time. How do we know this. They have a hybrid in game... Three tiers below, Graf Spee.

IT worked! Or the devs did a serverside update. Anyway, something changed for the better!

I'm now trying to check game integrity in the settingsteeds menu of the launcher. Do dat IT seems to be dowloading an update, no clue of the last one failed and thuis is it or maybe a custom fix for a failed update. We'll see...

Since the update the client either freezes at loading a battle ofrit just will not start... Then the game crashes. Freezing battles accure in my Tirpitz and my Lo Yang. Played one battle succesfully in my gnevny. Anshan never got out of loading however. Freezing gets worse as my laptop needs to reboot where task manager was available earlier. I want to finish ARP missions! (Will post crash files when laptop is on again, posted this on my phone. After 7 crashes I could not bring myself to another reboot)

I had some problems getting into battle again. I would see the loading screen, the bar would fill and then nothing would happen. After a while I would see ships move on the map but no game for me. Yesterday I had to wait 5 minutes to get my Tirpitz to move. Thank something that it isnt the slowest shop. I though this was fixed, it last happen several patches ago. At First I thought my wife was to blame, whenever she starts up her laptop it autoupdate for everthing kicks in and plays a weeks worth of catchup draining our connection. The Tirpitz example however happened when I was home alone...

For me the Tier 6 battles were enjoyable but the Tier 8 battles rarely were so I stoppen after a while... Seemed like the Tier 6 battles had more teamwork in them than Tier 8... I like last season with the slow uptiering (after a few tanks one Tier up, few tanks again, one Tier up, repeat). Much more variety.
