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

Can't tell you yet, you will see yourself when the update will hit the server.

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

I can't clarify on this yet. Actually I will investigate, as it seems weird.

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... 

Well, you know, sometimes we have to make some changes, to make it fresh. Also those ships are something from that mentioned "combination of their popularity and combat efficiency" - either one of those, or both.

was playing with flint, and i know im going offtopic but its only for a question, why isn't flint gonna be buffed in 10.2? people are not playing it, so it still has the "op" stats it had pre-nerf.

are you looking into it? flint needs a buff, even 1km is really useful (at least for me)

[KillStealBoss]

@YabbaCoe what with Colombo? and the techtree overall? it will not be available until 10.3?

I do hope you cleaned out Inactive Players and Players that dont actually Play them much anymore from the Statistics for that tough.

Cause some of these are neither OP nor Popular.

But some are very Old and thus Alot of People have them.

No info about any changes about Flint, yet. We are still monitoring that, though. Also afaik, we haven't promised, that we will do something in 0.10.2

Colombo will arrive in 0.10.3, with the rest of those ships being moved to tech tree.

Erich Loewenhardt: neither OP or popular. Also rather new, which may also contribute to numbers in game. Why removed?

Nelson: sad to see the last of the friendly prized FXP go away. One of the oldest ships that were offered free for ingame  currency after WG decided to give it to the community as a repair relations gesture after the KGV/ Monarch riot.. This is the most unwanted removal imo. 

T61: good ship, but not overpopulated. Again why?

Haida: again good ship, maybe even a bit too strong.

Z39: won’t be missed, a bit early for retirement. Good reward for Satan crates 2021

Asashio: OP ship that is not that OP if the setup does not favor you. It’s removal does not matter much

Lenin: Ok’ish, would not have been on my shortlist for removal.

Graf Spee: the ship has been on handout so many times that you are crazy to pay for it. I think this ship will return after some time as permanent coal ship like Aigle, Blysk, Lazo etc...

I'm slightly confused- what is the Italian battleships part 2 exactly? How is it different to part 1?

They switched sides The article linked in the original post has all the info.

 

So on the NA server there are a few theories floating about regarding the removal of the ships (tinfoil hats optional, but always stylish): there's the obvious expectation of a sales bump due to FOMO; Nelson in particular seems an amazingly cheap FXP ship nowadays and would probably make things look bad when compared to future 2mil+ additions; and of course something-something-MakarovSanta crates, in which case looks like we probably now know what the shortlists for Santa being a Git, a Big Git and a Humongous Git are going to look like in December...

Sorry for being dense, but I read it and still don't understand.

Are there more missions for more tokens or what?

No no more tokens.. Missions where you can earn other rewards.. In this case, next to more normal rewards, the chance to receive some (non premium versions) of the new event "Italian Batleships"crates. These crates, like their premium cousins sold for money, have a "chance" to contain premium ships.

I think there will be a new Lenin in future " V I Lenin" it's in modstn tech tree.

Not to worry! I get the impression these articles aren't really written with clarity of information foremost in mind. Basically, what @Jvd2000 said; no more opportunities to earn free tokens, but they'll graciously still let you buy them in random bundles ;)

afaik this version was released on the RU server some time ago for a cooperation (or something similar) with a company. It is also shown in the logbook on the RU server.

Erich is OP on tier VI, especially it has attack aircraft from Perseval.

T-61 is definitely OP, always been.

Others are actually also removed from balancing reasons, well they can be strong, when overpopulated in the battle.

Graf Spee is well spread, already twice was able to be obtained for free.

New missions, containers, arrival of Marco Polo as coal ship, but indeed those ships from Dante to Lepanto still won't be released in tech tree. That will happen in the next update.

OK, so some camo's and a few signal flags I guess.

it's strange that they havn't the same stuff on all servers. There is a lot of ships on that tech tree in the modstn market "soon" and alot of old stuff i beleve

Thanks

I'd also like to know - the ships in early access, if I grind XP on them, can I unlock the next one? E.g. if I grind F Caracciolo can I :

1. unlock V Veneto during early access
2. gain XP and use this XP to unlock V Veneto after early access
3. neither of the above, XP during early access can't be used.

X Austin, available for 29,000 Steel, is a U.S. cruiser that was designed at the end of World War II. The ship is armed with twelve dual-purpose 127 mm guns in six turrets, and carries two quintuple-tube torpedo launcher mounts. The cruiser has an unlimited number of charges for the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable, which reduces the reload time of her guns by 75% instead of the standard 50%. She also has the Hydroacoustic Search and Defensive AA Fire consumables in separate slots. Her AA defenses are efficient, and she’s armed with (SAP shells instead of AP shells).  <<<<<

Option 2 is the correct one, the xp you gain on any of the early access ships stays on the ship when it is transformed into the tech tree version.

[pingo_the_juice_box]

If I understand correctly from tomorrow, Somers won't be available, right? But the version will still be 0.10.1. the new update will just be installed and not yet used in the game. Correct? Damn I will probably miss the Somers by 40 steell.

[anonym_cwVecOS6ecVy]

• WG gives Marco Polo better precision than tech tree ships
• WG releases steel ship with endless and buffed reload booster consumables
• WG artificially limits "overperforming" premiums such as Graf Spee, Z-39 and Haida (LOL) only to get hold of more filling material for the next loot box short lists, mark my words
• On top of that more new ship atrocities are waiting to be released (See Flamu's new powercreep video) and the new german DDs are dead on arrival including the shipyard  vessel (who would have thought)

Applause, WG, applause.
