Hello!

 

why there are no carriers in the In-game shop? I am starting to like them and was thinking about buying one. Already have about 10k dubloons, should be enough to buy one.

I've highlighted the reason for you.

 

Why pay once, when you can pay twice?:cap_tea:

I think it comes from the RTS era, where carrier players were special snowflakes and spent most of the time playing only carriers. So their spending went into buying carriers only. To increase their spending they were charged more by not making carriers available for doubloons.

But you can buy them on premium shop. Not in the armoury for dubloons though. Save your dubloons for Puerto Rico.

fun fact:

as others confirmed, there's been a post by a com-man shortly b4 the release of the rework in which it was stated prem cv's will be available for cash and dubs on release...

the post never been seen again.... aaaand, ofc.... since now no option ever to even buy a single one with dubs. almost one year later....

 

now take ur guess.

 

(even more funnier: i'm waiting on GZ for my collection, got the dubs ready for over a year now. not even planning to play it lulz.... but yeee, praise wg marketing >insert puking emoji<)

Will be available from 8.11 on - at least Kaga, GZ and Saipan.

I'd most likely go for Kaga, maybe Saipan (I already have Ark Royal). 

Premiums are usefull to me for grinding and captain training, already ground out the US line.

Working on RN (and have Ark Royal), next up IJN - so Kaga it would be. 

 

Graf Zeppelin, well it is kinda mega-meh. And it is not usefull for a line as there isn't any... 

Also, there is such a thing as Pay To Win, now WG invented Pay To Suck. Well. :Smile_trollface:

Fear not,The Indomitable has had a bit of a buff according to my FB dev blog, so soon she will probably make and appearance and be worse than the Graf Zeppelin, as I see it she will be similar to Saipan with absolutely nothing going for her,but WG will want your money all the same,as if the don't make enough right?

 

What I mean by that is that in WoT's global sales of just one tank, the Skorpion G has netted them like $50 million dollars, just that one tank alone, never mind the rest of the premiums available. It would be interesting to see what premium ship has made the most for WoW's globally

Meh. I'm not that interested in paper ships. Graf Zep is OK-ish, but the rest...

I'd rather see them fill in the uneven tiers. And bring some more premiums.

They'd be easy to do since they have lots of models, just mix/match what they have.

@MrConway hey there's your New Year bonus, get cracking!

On the uneven tier filler I will agree with you, but imagine a tier 10 German CV, secondaries off the Tirpitz, probably 8km torpedos too, strictly for defence purposes mind you, hell it might even get ME 262 fighters and some super duper Stuka's:Smile_trollface:

You reckon PR will be worth it?

 

Last I heard PR conceilment and accuracy was buffed, but how do these 2 factors compare to the Alaska now?

 

EDIT: And my apologies for going a bit off topic here, no harm intended :Smile_honoring:

Yes I can imagine that, can you also imagine Russian T10 CV with Mig 15 and nukes... after all...

Well, never mind, I'll show myself to Gulag thanks. :Smile_hiding:

It’s ok now. Pretty much some kind of Alaska with more guns, in fact has even better sigma than Alaska (2.2 for PR and 2.05 for Alaska) but slower reload. Concealment a tad higher but not as crazy as it was at all. But if it’s worth putting money? Well, depends. For me not so much having the Alaska .

Interesting picture, were they captured ones going to the victors, either the US or UK?

They are available now? Thought they'll be tomorrow with update 0.8.11. 

I wrote this post before reading the patchnotes.
