0.9.9 PT - FDR will be sold for Steel, Paolo Emilio for NTC point. (Datamined)

Those ships now have the specification tags of "distrSteelShip"(FDR) and "distrParagonXPShip"(Paolo Emilio).

The tags show the type of resources for which the ship will be sold, and are already used for the released ships like Ohio, Somers, etc. Therefore, determining the ways of distribution by tag will not go wrong unless WG is trying to bait dataminers.

I hope this isn't true.  Any resource but steel! 

[__Helmut_Kohl__]

Give me my Steel CV. 

[Yedwy]

Is Ok my interest in CVs is quite limited... 

[Miscommunication_dept]

I would love a steel CV to be next. 

 

Knowing nothing of interest is coming will make it far easier to buy the Bourgogne.

True CV players won't play it, since it will be a CV PR crusher.

A true CV player has no problem, as he even farms super-unicum PR when he just farts in a tech-tree CV, to make up for that. 

 

A pathetic statwhore might not play it just for that reason though...

Relax, this DD seems to be crap.

It is yes, but it also seems like super fun to play

Why?

Why?

Its a boat kamikaze that has a crawling smoke and its only purpose in life is to go in die and take somebody with him  

That's the same way i play my V-25 and is the same thing I always wanted in higher tiers, with no other DD being able to replicate that kind of gameplay.

True they nerfed it alot... there's radar... and people who played the game for more then 5 games... BUT the fun part is killing good people with stupid gimmicks. 

 

In short, I want the lower tier meta in top tiers.

It is not a suicide-specialist anymore, they changed the conecpt again.

[Padds01]

would be very sad if the CV is for steel , as it means i wont ever get it. but it would also be funny as we know all clans hate cv's no one wants them in clan battles having one you can only get in clan battles would mean the shaft goes both ways!

Doesn't it still have SAP, though? Eight shells of that landing on a red team DD is going to hurt.

When? To what? All i saw was the continues nerfs to the current concept.

The problem with Venezia's SAP is that it can theoretically deal up to 24.000 damage to a DD in one salvo. 

 

Paolo can theoretically deal 8.133 damage in one salvo, but it has low DPM - something like a Kleber would eat it alive.

which means most (if not all) sunicums.

[Beastofwar]

The CV needing steel means i won't be able to get it for years to come. If i'm still playing the game by then, who knows.....so im not too happy about that.

 

The only good part is i get to keep my money since it cannot be bought.

Did FDR get anything yet to not make it a crappy Midway for people who are concerned fast-paced CV play might be too much for them?

Well a lot of players were always complaining they wanted obliterating RTS alpha damage back.....but that comes at the cost of plane travel speed, plane accuracy or plane survivability as dmg/min will have to remain roughly the same. So it probably does the same damage as a coventional CV flying to a target 1,5 or 2 times but in a single attack since it is so much slower traveling to a target. Which will seem extremely OP but it will not be any different in damage when the match ends. It is not all that novel either, Ark Royal already operates much in the same way as the biplanes are painfully slow facing potentially Tier VIII targets.

 

It seems logic WG want it to be limited in numbers/ rare in game as so many players now already can't handle the chipping damage that must stack with multiple passes of conventional CV......they already whine and howl over a 5k AP double bomb strike.....How will they react being hit by actual huge obliterating alpha damage strikes by a CV........yeah i have some idea aswell. Enterprise will not even be mentioned ever after. Even if the slow travel speed make it rather ineffective the huge damage spikes will fuel controversy. 

 

Will be clickbait material for drama lama CC's though......"WTF !!!  WTF !!!! an effing 300k strike !!! thiz is zooo ovapowat.....WeeGee you fluchzed ze game downz the zhithouze""

[Aragathor]

Well, now I know what ship I will be collecting steel for.

[UnterSeeBot]

I hate to see ships locked behind Steel, or the RB, but locking a CV behind competitive steel token grind (Clan Battles) is quite sick, a corporate middle finger to all those players who have vociferously opposed the presence of CVs in Clan/Ranked. It will be interesting to see the reaction (if there is any).

As for FDR I am sure it will be more than effective in Clan, and Ranked, where low plane speeds will be less important than the ability to drop tactical nukes. Like Stalingrad back in its early months, FDR owners will use it to seal club Tier x random battle taters, until it is slowly reigned in by other changes to the game.

WG likes to setup one playerbase faction to crap all over other segments of the playerbase. Bombs away!

Paolo E sounds more like a curiosity.

It has 2 more bombs and torps than Midway. Not a huge alpha increase, especially as it's a correspondingly wider spread, so on anything that gets hit by all 8, you got the hp pool to not notice a huge difference to Midway.

 

Meanwhile the meme rockets fill such a large area and it's only HVARs, so against DDs you might saturate an area, but most hit the water and against bigger ships, maybe some cruiser or Conqueror might make ok targets, but most BBs got too much armour. There's a reason people aren't going "OH GOD, it's an Audacious", despite the huge bomb drop alpha per wave on paper.

I think it's Ark Royal 2.0 : slow travel speed but a heftier punch to compensate for that.

 

Not many players complain about Ark Royal though....it must be pretty rare in randoms while not even being put up for steel.  Probably because players like to fly fast and attack often.....
