[ST-EU] Lightbaron Supertest Coordinator, Alpha Tester 1,807 posts 13,100 battles Report post #4 Posted June 4, 2015 They already announced to introduce new nation tech trees before adding branches to the existing trees. So the soon™ will be after RU/GB/GER branches in months or more likely years, as Shirio already said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ishiro32 Alpha Tester 2,303 posts 1,149 battles Report post #6 Posted June 4, 2015 I would expect to see Akagi in game before RU tech tree. She is kinda iconic. Oh well... What captain_edwards wrote. Working balanced CVs are more desirable to see than more ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long (aproximately) have you been testing new ships in supertest before they are introduced to game? We might have them, we might not have them, we might have something completely different. I'm not allowed to say anything about it. We are testing new ships and giving our feedback to them. If the devs are satisfied they prepare to introduce them in the next major update if not they get reworked. So we will have them for at least one test and it can go up to multiple tests and with that multiple weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slo_Mo_Shun Beta Tester 362 posts 826 battles Report post #10 Posted June 4, 2015 If we get a new branch, great, if not well thats okay as well. Most of us are lucky to be playing in a closed beta anyway. As far as info from the supertesters goes, they are not going to say anything are they, and I don't blame them.

SBS Alpha Tester, In AlfaTesters 2,556 posts 1,924 battles Report post #15 Posted June 4, 2015 I think the first words of a second IJN CV line was from some time ago. Still, they will come when they do, but I think a bit of balance is needed first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deamon93 Sailing Hamster 3,124 posts 1,275 battles Report post #22 Posted June 4, 2015 Why would they remove ships when they can just rebalance them to be fair? Cleveland is already nerfed and Aoba buffed so you can't follow this approach forever with more and more cruiser lines added. Still it's off topic. Artists who make the models have nothing to do with balancing. I hope this line will bring Taiho Taiho is the tier IX of the line currently implemented. Taiho didn't join her brethren immediately because of balance issues(same goes with Hakuryu) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope this line will bring Taiho Taiho is already included as the t9 of the line currently ingame with Hakuryu International Airport (improved Taiho) at t10. They just got removed because of ballancing issues. Around one week ago a small number of specially picked players got access to test the reworked Taiho. too slow...

Any info you can give if the more balanced setups fighter can tackle with an US carriers ones1 level lower? cu Spellfire40 No, that is a players choice. The fighters might be stronger than Essx and Lexis but by far not strong enough to compenstate the lack of numbers without strong friendly AA support. As for IJN CVs that are able to fight USN CVs one tier lower the only one where that really works is imo the Hiryuu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
