[DEFR] Scrotalus Players 799 posts Report post #1 Posted July 21, 2021 I've done most of the dockyard events and was looking forward to this one, partly because I'm a cruiser main, partly because I'm Dutch, other reasons as well. But I've been checking out this ship and frankly, it looks like it's gonna be a turd. They made it SO weak just to compensate for its air strike capability, that in a straight out gunfight with most T7 cruisers it will get spanked. And many of those cruisers have torpedoes as well. What am I missing about this new upcoming Dutch cruiser that it deserves to be T8? It can't be just the heal and the once-a-minute airstrike? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wah ^^ Well, I easily do all missions by playing normally, so that's essentially the price for a premium ship. Uniqueness is of having airstrike, no other premium do so. And I have no worries for it being crap or OP, we always get balanced and enjoyable premiums in dockyards 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't finish the DY in time you wont even get the ship for your dubs. this^^ the 3 stage doublon pack should only be purchasable once a player attains the 21st stage, to guarantee they get their money's worth (an actual ship!) the current arrangement is abusive, of inciting players to purchase 3 early stages, and so to arm twist them into slaving away at the pitface for 21 more stages (marketing dept deploying a toxic"sunk cost" nonsense). wise up folks, don't let WeeGee take advantage.* Spoiler *I am unfortunately weak minded, please give me a hard slap if you ever notice de zeven in my port before the event ends. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FALX] Hakssor Players 487 posts Report post #15 Posted July 21, 2021 Not gonna buy anything with dubs to get her. She is very underwhelming in terms of stats, just like the recent Dockyard ships. She might be cheap but she will also collect dust when there are much better options out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
