[-AP-] thiextar Players 3,503 posts 9,933 battles Report post #1 Posted January 12, 2019 So i know there isnt any official info about this yet, but i would like to get some opinions and reason about if you guys think it will cost steel or coal. Basically if it will cost coal, i want to save my coal for it, otherwise im thinking of spending my coal on a jean bart. Please say what currency you think it will cost, and why. Cheers :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the azuma will be tier 10 tho, so in that case it would be the first ever tier 10 fxp ship. What im thinking is either coal - like the salem. Or steel, like the stalingrad.

[AAO] OM40 Players 496 posts 29,310 battles Report post #4 Posted January 12, 2019 it will probably be the next steel ship, playes very differently from Stalin so it might have an interesting role in competitive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would doubt they'd make the Azuma a free XP ship. I'd like them to because I have millions of free XP lying around, but realistically speaking coal is the most probable, with steel a distant runner-up because it wouldn't make much sense to release another tier X steel ship in time for the next CB season when acquiring any of them takes on average 3 seasons' worth of steel rewards to get. Even counting in Ranked steel rewards you wouldn't be able to acquire enough steel to keep at pace with consecutive steel ship releases at this rate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R-D] SexyCroat Players 734 posts 18,675 battles Report post #7 Posted January 12, 2019 99% that it ill be for steel as someone said above to give cb meaning after stalingrad so people have a goal towards it, well those of us that have stalin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as Ao said, at the same time releasing her so soon means basically no one will get her for at least another two seasons (unless you still haven't spent steel on Bourgogne or Stalin) but it's Wargaming and Bourgogne was released only a couple months after Stalin so I guess we'll see. If she's the same price as a Stalin no one will get her either, as she offers much less utility overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which in my mind makes it even less likely that the azuma will also be for steel. Anyways, i hope it will be coal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[UTW] ShinGetsu Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 8,985 posts 7,359 battles Report post #14 Posted January 12, 2019 I'd rather have it in coal, as it would bring me a new reason to stockpile it, and would save my steel grind for Stalingrad instead. Tbh I don't think you can say that Stalingrad is better than Azuma for competitive. IMO Azuma is a good replacement for the Henri IV and possibly Zao in your team while Stalingrad replaces Moskva.

JimmyThePirate Players 89 posts 4,024 battles Report post #17 Posted January 12, 2019 I would say steel. Currently the high tier coal ships are copy-paste of other ships with a few twist, IE Jean Bart is a richy one tier higher and RLB, Mushy is a less accurate Yammy one tier lower, and the Salem is a DM with worse radar but better heal. The Azuma, one the other had, has no other main line counter part counterpart. But that's just my opinion. The Flint, Black, and Bour also follow the same rules, but are steel ships. Of course, we also have the blank spot in the arsenal that looks to be an upcoming steal ship, but no blank spots for coal ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BONUS] Yamato942 Players 323 posts 20,034 battles Report post #18 Posted January 12, 2019 Depending how good ship will be, if Op like Stalingrad then steel for sure, if average like salem then coal. Also depending on what they remove first Salem or Stalin, but probably will be Stalin first removed so probably will be steel if not crap ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RAIN] GarrusBrutus Players 3,711 posts 12,557 battles Report post #19 Posted January 12, 2019 It's kind of stupid thinking about it. It could be either resource. Remember when ships were either xp or €? Luckily I've got a massive amount of steel, coal and freeXP stored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] ApesTogetherStronK [SCRUB] Players 1,074 posts Report post #23 Posted January 13, 2019 I'm waiting for them to introduce another kind of metal as a new resource and announcing Azuma can be gotten only with that; then selling it in the shop or locking it behind 1000 Arms Race wins or something.

FishDogFoodShack Players 685 posts 5,858 battles Report post #25 Posted January 13, 2019 Does it make financial sense to make Azuma a steel ship without announcing it as such, with so many options to gain extra steel by spending money available to us atm? Seems to me that Steel Monsters and PEF bundles would sell more if it was confirmed for steel, getting not only those who want stalin to buy, but those who want Azuma as well. Personal guess is on coal because of this little problem. But hey, WG loves preventing me from giving them money, so ultimately who can tell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
