These ships may return to the Premium Shop at a later date.. https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/sales-and-events/premium-shop-094/ Not sure why but they certainly aren’t overpowered.

They don’t usually remove them from the premium store though. I was wondering if they might want to make them coal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SINT] Jvd2000 Players 1,639 posts 31,173 battles Report post #4 Posted May 30, 2020 Well all 4 are really on the lower side of good premiums. Never have read any good about this ships in reviews. Have Gorizia And Yudachi. One is a torpless Zara the other a worse silver T7 jpn dd. But they are all quite new premiums but I understand that they sell bad. Gorizia maybe had his moment when it gave a bonus during the PR grind. Maybe some bought Cheshire for the bonuses during the U.K. ca arc. But for now, they are really last options and crate loot items. But being this new might be a bit early to make them freemiums yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm more worried about it being Albemarle, to be honest. The performance of the 8 inch guns, which set lots of fires and do decent damage, makes it a good hit and run ship. But I can't see that working with fewer guns. Needs a better hull to be a six gun ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[RO-RN] Animalul2012 Players 1,345 posts 21,361 battles Report post #14 Posted May 30, 2020 They will be added to the armory shop, maybe! However T-61 has to go, now that it will get 32mm of HE pen that thing is just a complete GOD. Hydro,good guns with good reload for its tier,fast reloading torpedoes with respectable damage,speed and detection range, smoke,speed boost and a good concealment 6.1km I believe? This ship will probably follow the same fate as belfast,kutuzov, giulio cesare, kamikaze etc. YES an OP german ship, something that you do not see everyday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cambera_1 Players 1,018 posts 23,940 battles Report post #17 Posted May 30, 2020 WG used to rotate the Premium ships in the online store. This meant that there was uncertainty as to whether the ship was going to come back. So there was pressure to buy the ship that you might be interested in there and then. I missed my chance to get Belfast because I didn't... I hope that this announcement isn't the restart of the practice of rotating the online store ships. Snooze and lose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-MM] _Dunc_ Weekend Tester 350 posts 11,822 battles Report post #19 Posted May 30, 2020 Cheshire is pretty good all things considered. (well, I do pretty well in it) Yudachi suffers from the unnecessarily gimped torps and the current VII matchmaking pressure Gorizia was free/marathon, and makes no sense if you have the Abruzzi, as well as VII matchmaking Poltava I don't have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's typical of all reviews, and enough people read them, I'm guessing that sales of the thing haven't exactly been heroic...! Personally I think the LWM is slightly too hard on the Cheshire. She isn't a great ship, but she isn't THAT bad. Is is OK at best, and that is her biggest problem, she isn't good at anything. I enjoy playing her as a counterpoint to Abermerle. But Edinburgh is hands down the best RN T8 cruiser. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuudachi is straight up *edited*, Gorizia is a weaker Zara, Poltava is the dictionary definition of mediocre, and Cheshire is well.."special" I think is the kindest term for her. Just think they were all removed due to not selling enough. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, sorry, that is 100% entirely fair, seeing as she's a straight up weaker Shira, itself not all that great as Tier 7 dd's go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
