That has been announced as a change and is not a bug. Together with the lack of implementation of different captain portraits, which are in the client, it is an attempt to remove any semblance of nation from the pan-asia line. Someone got huffy about the PA captains speaking Chinese. Probably. Expect the generic Asian captain portraits we have now, to be replaced too by American ones.

The new Trap map has some problems in coop. The bots from southern spawn can't reach C cap and instead stop behind an island at E8.

I have no problem with this idea, as long as people like you get permanently banned from the game. So, are you willing to take one for the team?

48 not counting 2 French BBs and the Southern Dragon. T9 - Missouri T8 - Albama, Harekzae, Kidd, Kii, Kutuzov, LoYang, Prinz Eugen, Tirpitz T7 - Atlanta, Belfast, Blyskawica, Duke of York, Hood, Indianapolis, Leningrad, Nelson, Scharnhorst T6 - Aigle, Anshan, Arizona, De Grasse, Duca D'Aosta, Dunkerque, Gallant, Graf Spee x2, Huang He, Molotov, Mutsu, Perth, Warspite T5 - Giulio Cesare, Kamikaze, Krasny Krym, Marblehead, Murmansk, Okhotnik, Okt. Revolutsiya, Texas T4 - Ishizuchi T3 - Aurora, Katori, König Albert, Vampire T2 - Albany, Mikasa, Smith

So, now that we have both the Nagato and Amagi A hulls as premiums, plus the Kii, which one of them is the best ship to train IJN BB captains? I'm talking about retraining them or just cruising around to earn extra XP. Also important would be to look at the price one has to put forward to get the ship.

I'll take a pair of spring rolls, the pork siu bao, sticky rice, and some tea. Thanks.

To anyone on the fence about the Aigle I have one message. "This ship is hilarious" It lights fires, citadels cruisers, and eats DDs alive. Just look below, and trust me, I'm not a DD main.

In my 7 containers (2x3 mission, 1x1 Aigle) I had both the T5 and T6 ship missions. There are still 6 containers in the mission left, then there's the next mission set, and the 21+1 containers from Aigle. Pretty good odds to get the missions.

Yeah, but with a 10p captain I kept extra for her. Used the Flamu build without speed boost upgrade. That thing is hilarious after you get used to the guns. The torps are ok, but the guns burn people. Kiting is easy on speed boost, and most shots can be dodged. The one thing this ship needs, in my opinion, is a 12p captain with PT, LS, BFT or DE, CE, EM. That Expert Marksman is a must as the guns turn slowly.

Good for you, in my experience Kongos are some of the first BBs to die in every match and those that don't most of the time hug the border. As to the rest of your post. I have asked about the three premium IJN BBs at tiers 6-8. I have not asked about how to best retrain captains, no, I asked which one of those ships is good for that. A quite specific question. But instead, some people including you, have decided to go off a tangent and gave me answers to questions I haven't asked. Now that is presumptuous. And after I told them that this wasn't what I asked, they became rude. I have asked for advice on those three ships, received it, and now I enjoy playing both the Mutsu and the Kii. I even wrote about it in my last post. But you ignored that while writing your off-topic post.

The eagle displayed on the flag is the Imperial Eagle used by Napoleon I Bonaparte. I don't think it's a historical flag, as it was a symbol not of the (Third) Republic but of the French Empire. You can read more here.

So if you are busy with life you might miss getting the 18 missions needed for the marathon. I have work, family obligations, and three upcoming certifications until April. I'd rather pony up 19€ than miss out.

Don't let WG read that, they'll nerf the Shino for sure after that.

The Marathon ends on the 26.03. according to the client. So where did you get the 30.07. from?

Going to buy this one, just the standard package though. I don't have time for the Marathon and I want the ship, plus the standard package isn't too expensive at 19€. PS: The bloated bundles offer little of value, the flags are meh (no special ones), dubloons lost worth after the premium purge, and why would I pay extra for a flag with a chicken on it?

The best part of this statement is that we told WG this again and again, and they keep ignoring us. Because they aren't interested in fixing their own mistakes. They don't want to adapt stuff to changes in the meta. According to them, everything is alright.

If it was a bad ship it wouldn't be a reward.

The removal of the Pan Asia national voice over is quite disappointing. Especially since no reason was given for it.

You're a monster. But you know that. Right?

That's what WG considers balanced.

A really fun battle, we were losing and I was sitting in smoke contemplating the meager contribution of my own (70K dmg). Then I realized that the enemy DD plus assorted plankton was charging my smoke. One salvo into the Mahan left him 60hp, hello free close quarters expert. Three torps into a Bayern, several hits into a Kutuzov, hard turn starboard and a three torps finisher into the Bayern. Then a short gun duel with a Algerie after a cap and we won. Not really something to gloat about, but 120k damage in a T3 DD in coop is a nice achievement.

Was hoping for the smoke mod. But India Yankee is also a good container, I'm burning through them fast.

What's hilarious is that you're wrong. They are keeping the T8 in, just look at the list, most ships are either T8 or T7. What they are removing are all of those lower tier premiums that are either fun to play or interesting. So that 3p potato playing border camp sniper in the Derptiz will still be a thing.

Then why are they removing all low tier premiums? Those ships are collectors items and don't compete with anyone. People buy ships like the Mikasa or the Aurora not because of the extra XP or silver bonus, but because those ships are part of living history. And the comparison with shoes is a complete miss, digital goods don't suffer from wear and tear. And from all the premiums not a single announced one is a replacement for an old premium.

It's the tech tree where you could buy the ships for dubloons.
