So did I. One of the best experience you can have in London! It's indeed a must-do-it if you are into warships!

It would be interesting to see Exeter in the game. She's one of the most historical ship in RN. Her relatively weak main battery would probably require the presence of a strong HE shell or some kind of buff to the ROF. Yet, she's not the Belfast, the only RN big ship on which you can walk on still today.

Yet it's extremely unlikely to get her... We'll see... But even if I like to have her very much (I researched Edinburgh because it's her sister ship) I don't think that it will ever happen, and I find it really annoying. It's a pity that a game that I like and enjoy very much is burdened by such selling politics. I understand that WG is a company that exist in order to make money (obviously: it's right. And I think it's worth to invest money in the game sometimes) but I still don't like this kind of withdrawals.

So if people still want the Belfast the way it is I don't see the reason to remove it. If it's still enjoyable people would buy it anyway, and those who have not refunded it should be happy to keep the ship as it is. They would probably be upset by the fact that the ship would not be exclusive anymore as we are upset now by the lack of her availability...

Yes, okay, but if only developers would like to bring her in the game again they could certainly find a way to rebalance her and make her enjoyable. That would be nor a nerf and nore a buff, that would be just fair. But I think the problem is just that they are not interested in doing anything about that.

Moreover there are examples of modified premiums: warspite (turret rotation speed and armour, citadel position), Tirpitz (AA batteries, secondary battery range), all the American high tier BBs (citadel lowered). I don't see any reason (other than annoying people who would like to buy her) not to modify Belfast in order to make her available again.

The solution could also be to change the ship only for the new buyers. People who already have Belfast keeps the way it is and new customers buy the nerfed one. By doing so the new buyers are accepting the changes made to the ship and no one gets a "in course modified" premium ship. If the old owners wanted the new nerfed Belfast they can invest new money in order to buy the new version. I keep thinking that her removal is at least unfair. The same can be said for Missouri, another historically important museum ship. I also think that removing a ship from availability doesn't make it collectible. If something is collectible it should be also obtainable, otherwise it cannot be collected... I bet there are lots of people out there who can't wait to get their hands on Belfast's steering wheel.

Hi guys. I'm pretty new to the forum, so if I commit any mistake please let me know and forgive me. I really think that Belfast should be in the game anyhow. As a museum ship and historically relevant ship she can't be left out. I have Edinburgh and I like it very much. Belfast could, in my opinion, brought back in the game giving her the same smoke consumable as Edinburgh and maintaing her radar and hydro and keeping her at tier VII. It's unfair, in my opinion, that people who joined the game later her cancelling or who couldn't buy her when she was available can't enjoy such a wanderful ship. I don't think that Belfast can't be changed in order to be enjoyable again, after all Cleveland has been modified and placed in tier VIII without very much problem...
