Funny thing is that Kami R cost 16 Euros compared to 10 Euros price for Kami. WG will restrict access to Kami sisters after this Chrismas/New Year as they will no longer be available via Santa crates. But I doubt that WG would/should remove them from the game. Than they would need to do that for several other ship which outperform all other ship by considerable margin, like GC, Vamipre, Gremy, Impregnator and Belfast. All them have WR above 58%, with Kami, GC and Vampre well over 60% in last two months. And that would require a lot of refunding.

You mean all three as all of them were on the sale at some point. I bought my Kami R from a premium shop as I didn't took part in the Pearl event.

If they kept 2018 rewards than probably price of the new steel ships would rise up. Number of T8-T10 premiums drastically increased since 2018, there is no way that WG would provide same amount of steel as than for snowflakes or that amount of steel required for new premiums would stay similar as now.

200 for T8-T10 premium ships, 100 for regular T10 and 50 for T9. So basically level of the steel for regular ships remained the same as instead of 150 steel for T9/T10 per line, we are getting a 150 for T8/T9 per line, so there is no loss there (if we disregard the fact that during 2018 snowflake event there were two more T9 which are now not present, Taiho and Essex). It is amount of the steel for premiums that changed drastically. But considering number of T8-T10 premiums that were added since 2018, that is understandable. Sure any amount of steel for T10 would be better than those Santa Crates but free stuff is still a free stuff so .... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Only Riga and Krony overmatch Atlanta, Tallinn and Donskoy can't do that. Chapa and Donskoy are CLs, even Tallinn is more or less a CL. WG should just increase Atlanta/Flint base range to current range with AFT. That would be the best solution as there would be no need to spend points on the must have skill and could distribute 21 points on other skills.

Short answer: nothing. I stopped wasting the money on boxes a long time ago, just like a stopped buying a ships from shop, so this doesn't change anything for me. WG being scamy is also nothing new. I usually buy the 1k doubloons per month and that is all, I'm not intending to spend more or less despite this, latest in long procession of WG fups, or nor I'm intending to change my playing habits because of this. I'm getting more and more dissatisfy with the state of the game, and sooner or later I'll probably reach a point where I would consider playing this game a waste of time but this is not that point. So this is changing nothing for me.

6.3km is before release, with relase it will have 6.11km full concealment

Nope. Its is 6.1km, concealment is buffed once since first announced

6.1km

Well I wouldn't say they "promised" and anyway for WG "promise" is more like a suggestion that might or might not be true (like, no subs, no gun caliber larger than 460mm, we care for you feedback and such). For example WG also "promised" that PR will be available for all via Armoury, only to say latter that it won't be and was never intended to be available to all, only to say after that that it will be available for all but not anytime soon. But yes, they said that all three will return, no sooner than 6 month from the date of removal, but they never said that all of them will return at the same time. Considering that during this patch, WG put in Armoury 1 steel and 6 coal ships, 2 of which are T9 DDs, I'm not surprised that WG hold Black for now instead release 3 T9 DDs for coal, especially as one of them is basically a DD hunter. I personally hope that WG would first correct mistake and give it right model before they release Black but I'm almost 100% sure that would not happen and that they are just waiting for a moment that is the most convenient for them to bring it back.

Cruisers as a class or cruiser as a some particular ship? Because there are cruisers that could citadel BBs at 10km but not all of them. Also same for BBs. You need to be more specific if you want good answer.

There is no official statement about this, only players guessing. It might come latter, it might not, thing is nobody know for sure for now.

Usually, New Year ships were available in the store too.

There will be a Campaign with Strasbourg as a final reward.

5.3km? It says within base detectability range of a ship. For Petro that is 12.4km.

With skills as per DB104, for Petro I would use Gunner 1pt (you need it mostly to counter a loss to turret rotation by picking Reload Upgrade on the 6th slot) Argus Eyed 2pts Provident 3pts Concealment Expert 4pts Adrenaline Rush 3pts Armour-Piercing Cruiser 3pts Petro is heavily reliant on its AP so picking APC is no-brainier as it is a straight buff to AP DPM. All the rest are same as current build for Petro. For the last 5 points I could go with Loader 1pts RPF (fo WG with your name changes) or Straight-A Artillerist 4pts While Brawler sounds interesting there is just to many weird conditions for it to pop up and it is useful only in specific situations. On the other hand Straight-A Artillerist will give you reload buff if you radar DD, for example with Reload Mod you can get 10.5sec reload time, with AR even bellow that. Consumable Expert, even only 2 pts, is too expensive if 1.5sec (1.8sec with radar upgrade) longer radar means no AR or APC. I would even pick AA Gunners Training Expert for 2 pts over ConsE for Petro.

You used a wrong example there. You should use this one instead. For comparation, Sims torps are 13% faster.

Yes, new system makes adding Captain skills for Submarines quite ease but if they want to add to other four classes some skills for fighting submarines they would need to either add additional skills on top of those which would make it even bigger and more complicated replace some of those skill with new one and/or maybe upgrade some of them to include subs Also adding skills to counter subs will also make available 21 point quite stretched. So I wouldn't be surprised if, with arrival of subs, WG decide to do another Captain Skills rework/update. Or they could do my preferred option and remove subs (and CVs with them).

How exactly they will be "unplayable now"? What essential skill they have now will they lose with new skills? SI? Still there CE? Still there The only things that are not there is SSE and JoAT without which you can still play RN CLs without any issues. There is maybe even better option now with Consumables Expert. Sure there is not much skills that could specifically benefit to RN CL but saying that they would be unplayable with this new skills is ridicules.

While WG calling them a skip bombers, fact is they are not, what they are using is bouncing bombs like the one "Dambasters" used in their famous raid. And they could bounce over a DD. They will come with time. Just like all other nations.

Because in alternate history Germans conquer UK and get plans for bounce bombs .... I guess.

High tier DDs have 13mm superstructure so it will pen them, just like CA/CL superstructure but that is all. It would not be able to pen DD hull (19mm) or BB in any place.

It is probably just a rumor, just like there is one about R-10. But there is a difference between Plymouth and RN CL like, most notably Plymouth has standard heal, instead of super one that current T8-T10 RN CLs use, and radar, only 9km compared to 10km one that Mino could use, on separate slot from smoke. So in the current state, Plymouth could not be replace for Mino, and should be a premium ship. As T6 and T8 ship thez will probably be obtainable in the Premium Shop for money.

There is several high tier ships in development like Plymouth, Vampire: Episode II, R-10 and Marco Polo.
