American and German ships are my favs atm.. I know Alaska is a decent ship but for me it is not necessary to have. I am looking for options to spend my 1 mil free xp wisely. I know lot of ppl buy stuff then regret. I find Siegfriend to be more interesting however it is release time is shady at the moment. There are not many good free xp ships as before. I just worry I ll get Alaska and get bored.

First off Alaska is worth the free xp but as someone who got Azuma first. You might not like Alaska at first but eventually you'll love it.

(Despite dropping the wallet for the A supercruiser trio) I don't regret getting any of them.

But if you want to be safe you could wait till there's more news about Siegfried. I'm waiting for it impatiently. Agir is coming too but ehh when I hear Agir I don't thing of something menacing. 

 

They will announce when they remove Alaska but I think Azuma will be the first to be booted if they start removing fxp ships. Since its been there for a long while.

Ägir is basicly a Siegfried with 3x3 305mm guns - who knows if Siegfried will ever be released as a ship. Alaska is awesome- defo worth the FXP

I'd wait and see for now, it's the safest choice.

 

Sadly we don't even know what currency Siegfried is going to be in (unless I am blind and missed them saying it), but everyone seems to assume free xp..

I love ships which have different options lets say like torps or secondaries which opens different and fun gameplay. Alaska kind of seems monotonous to me just shoot ap and occasionally use radar and he. Just love the ships like Georgia, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau Tirpitz Jean Bart etc...

We are all waiting for Siegfried.

 

Notser Rates it highly!

 

Will it be the next Docyard Ship? who knows the machinations of WG.

 

I strongly suspect if ever one can not get it freely with out a drama, there will be, in this current climate a Revolution.

 

Wait and See 

 

 

 

Oh I forgot wait and see before you get Alaska! ~~~ " If in doubt do nowt ""

 

This is not a bad read :-

Did you forget about the Puerto Rico incident? 

Think of it as an expensive Battle pass. But to get the end reward you either have to pay with your soul. Or pay the big bux. Which could  you eat for atleast two weeks. But you know. PUERTO RICO IS FOR EVERYONE.

There was some chit chat / rumour / conjecture, in unofficial social media,  "on what ship would next be built in the Dock Yard " 

 

Personal I do feel there is a high chance that would be a German Ship.

The market for German ships is massive on the EU server, and the German line needs some love.

 

I honestly feel not selling it for a reasonable amount of cash would be a error of judgement

Looking at what they did to Odin I'd advise you not to wait for Siegfried. WG will nerf that ship before release, you can bet money on it.

Of all 3 fxp ships available now (not counting nelson here for a bit as it's a totally different class), imo Alaska is by far the most flexible one.

It's not OP imo as it lacks dpm, so you need to make every salvo count.

It has somewhat trollish armor and is somewhat tanky, can play Alaska even as a semi-battleship if needed and it has optional hydro along with 10km radar. It's also a fun ship in coop if that is your thing :Smile-_tongue:

 

In your case you could decide to first wait and see what will be coming or when Alaska will get removed (I think it's very probable that soonish it will get removed) and Siegfried is not amongst thenext batch of fxp ships, or at least afaik.

From what I understood from last official stream Siegfried is gonna be part of probably another retarded grid fest.

From the ships you want I can't give you an opinion. But remember that today is the last day to unlock a tier X ship with its legendary module. If a had that million XP would try Mosvka, Zao or Montana and unlock the LM missions, especially Mosvka which it will be removed from the tree and perhaps the LM will be locked for ever.

No but the Legendary Modules old fashioned missions yes. Perhaps after finishing the British ships time will be moved to Armory

No, the Moskva is being moved to be a TX Premium ship when the rework of the Soviet cruiser line is going to happen. We get 2 new TX Soviet Cruisers, 1 x CL & 1 x CA. As to when - that's a good question, it was anounced a week ago.

A new sub-branch of Soviet cruisers will be added to the game in the upcoming super test session, with Tier VIII - X ships. The main branch of light cruisers will also be updated.

 

WG_SPB_WoWs_Infographic_Supertest_USSR_Cruisers_EN_1920x1080 (1).jpg

 

Tier V cruiser Kirov will become a premium ship and will be replaced in the branch with the new cruiser Kotovsky.

 

WG_SPB_WoWs_screenshots_kotovsky_EN_1920x1080.jpg

 

Tier X cruiser Moskva will become a special ship for Coal and will be replaced in the branch with the new cruiser Alexander Nevsky.

 

WG_SPB_WoWs_screenshots_al_nevsky_EN_1920x1080.jpg

 

Other details about the branch split will be announced later.

Cruisers from the main branch will be armed with 152 - 180 mm guns, while ships of the new sub-branch will have 180 mm guns on Tier VIII cruiser Tallin, and 220 mm guns on the Tier IX and X cruisers Riga and Petropavlovsk.

WG_SPB_WoWs_screenshots_petropavlovsk_EN_1920x1080.jpg

 

The main feature of the new cruisers is their effective armor piercing shells. They have high armor penetration for cruisers, good ballistics, and a short arming threshold, which lowers the number of overpenetrations. These shells will be effective both against cruisers and battleships.

 

These strengths are offset with an average reload time and special accuracy settings: as range increases, shell dispersion grows faster than with other cruisers. 

 

Access to the Surveillance Radar consumable also makes them most effective at medium ranges. 

 

Detailed parameters will be announced shortly. 

 

Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary and subject to change.

does this mean I should buy back a Kirov to have it as a premium ship?
