With the release of Update 0.10.2, X Somers will cease to be available in the Armory. When Update 0.10.5 goes live, VI Erich Loewenhardt, VII Nelson, VI T-61, VII Haida, VII Z-39, VIII Asashio, VIII Lenin, and VI Admiral Graf Spee will also cease to be available. The ships are being removed from the game due to a combination of their popularity and combat efficiency. In order to maintain the proper level of diversity in teams in terms of ship composition, these ships will cease to be available for an indefinite period of time, but may return in future.

This part actually shocked me, I'm not going to lie. Maybe Asashio is understandable but the rest of the ships weren't what I would call very popular. Some of them are strong but unpopular. I don't even think I saw Erich Loewenhardt once. I'm suspicious of a store/armory rework now

It' nice that Marco is 228k coal (standard price for T9 BB it seems) 

 

This is OOF tho (not Somars since we knew it, but the rest)

like WWWWWWWhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy?  especially Spee; like i can somewhat understand the rest, but Spee? If anything it's UNpopular, not popular, plus it's not great to say the least.

Spee was given for free twice if I recall correctly. Maybe it messed with WG's spreadsheets

Nelson is a good pick for a mid Tier premium, that is rather cheap.

I can only recommend getting her, when one likes to play BB.

Yeah time for me to take her, before she drop from a super container. :=

[ImLate]

How much for a premium one? I would love to buy it.

[Miragetank90]

Never a fan of having to remove content - in this case ships, from the game. 

[Psticide]

its a RIDICOULOUS amount of ships to remove from the game at the same time, i object!, stronger, i PROTEST this move. Its a game about ships ffs, and here u are cutting EIGHT ships at the same time ... no words ...

Bundles including coal to buy for credits or free exp ?

[koliber_1984]

Wlhales gonna spend some money on that being removed premiums, nice move WG.

@ImLate usually it's around 20 euros per 5 boxes, maby you can be lucky.

[Maris_Piper]

Some nice ships going and look at the garbage we get in exchange FGS, The Lenin is a Dakka ship to what we get nowadays, so Leon is Russian for Makarov then how nice 

Never Mind It will all look pretty I suppose,

[leonport]

They are not being completely removed from the game. They will just be removed from the sale. Also it will happen with arrival of 0.10.5, so you have plenty time to obtain them, if you want to.

Also this also gives option to place there some more, different ships.

[CaptainAwsome_2014]

Will we also be able to buy the Marco Polo for real money, like the Pommern?

[Wangerhuber]

@YabbaCoe

Will we be able to buy Marco Polo from thursday on for coal or will this be at a later Date?

 

thanks alot.

greetings

[DeviousDave02]

 

Lol - Erich Loewenhardt? Nelson? Graf Spree?  Really WarGaming? Seriously... You do realise it's not April yet right? Still got 15 days to go before you can pull an April fools... 

[arquata2019]

@YabbaCoe at 0:56 the video of wows official channel, may you tell me more about the bundles?

[ImperialAdmiral]

LMAO 

Nelson?  Really???

 

And I thought she is a perfect introduction for new players to the free xp system.

 

But I guess she was too cheap. Gonna add those 2 mill ones instead.

I think they are preparing to move to the sales model they use in World of tanks. In that game you have a small selection of premiums permanently available for both cash and ingame gold, only few of which are actually good choices. The really good stuff, the most competitive premiums people actually want to buy, comes only as a timed offer, usually for a weekend and it is cash only.
If i'm right, i guess we are going to see ships like the Mainz and Bayard removed too before the year is over.

Most people comment the awful idea of removing some ships from armory so il just whine on the awful man commentary on the video and your idea of having funny (il say rude) comments about spelling italian ship names, If you cant have some good ideas to make videos funny just dont do it. maybe the russian crowd like them but i do not nad i hope most of the european community also dont like these silly "soviet" funny comments (and im not even Italian :p)

Previous patch vids at least were lets say professional. Basic info and stuff. The one today was just cringe...

Are you running out of code lines in the armory so you cant just add more stuff there?!

Two Updates later and there is still nothing to fix this 'abysmal' commander skill rework. This whole rework has been a s***show since Day 1, yet nothing is getting done about it. 

 

There are still too many BB players, hiding in the back thanks to that botched skill 'Dead-Eye'. I understand that this skill is being reworked. However, (for some reason) WG need more 'data' to correct it. Not like people (who tested the rework) were warning them how broken the skill is. 

 

Ships like Flint are still completely unplayable. However, WG still need more 'data' from a ship no-one plays anymore. Good luck finding the 'data' required. 

 

It's amazing how AFT was mandatory for both Atlanta and Flint before the rework, yet only Atlanta gets the range increase. 

 

Is it because Atlanta is a Premium people pay for and Flint isn't??
