You need to buff this trash, who buys that's so bad... 

[Aragathor]

I'm happy the  commander is available in the armory. No way I'm buying Karl von Trashberg.

 

PS:  The extra XP mission in the article is called " Token_SHONBER_200_XP_BOOST_30days".

[GoneFishingAgain]

Why buy a ship that may be nerfed in future?

HARD PASS

 

History lesson - wallets are firmly closed since nerfing of STALINGARD and THUNDERER

well, it is hard to find in it smthg to nerf further ... 

or it will be used as an example of the one that instead got buffed 

or perhaps they will try to catch those who will go after the commander

It is actually a mistake, typo let's say.

It is the mission, that fives 200% XP per battle, but it should be named something like: Special mission etc. 

Thanks for catching this, I will report this to Content team to correct it.

So glad I bought T-61 = A Better Ship and no Nerf Bomb Warning although I would find it hard to nerf it and leave it in T-6

not like that makes him safe from nerfs. There are a lot of ships that dont have that warning and still they got nerfed

C'mon, just a smal typo, while it is very visible what is this token about.

We didn't directly nerf any premium ship sold before the addition of that line.

But there were enough indirect nerfs to make certain premiums much weaker. For example Atlanta:

 

-CV rework made the Def AA consumable much weaker, practically pointless. Something Atlanta relied on. Also changes to AA removed the Atlanta's ability to screen other ships effectively.

-Changes to the MM made the Atlanta uptier to T9 much more often.

-Changes to IFHE nerfed Atlanta's ability to directly damage T8+ ships.

-Commander skill rework removed several skills for DD caliber guns. Replacement skills are severly lacking.

 

WG managed to change a fragile high skill ship into digital scrap metal. No direct nerfs necessary.

so its fair to not directly nerf premium ships also?

if I buy Massa for secondary guns and playstyle like that and you nerf secondary ,its my fault that I buyed that ship?

I wont even mention that I spent my hard deserved steel on FDR and now you are nerfing him to to ground of the existance almost every patch that I can put him in trash can along with the spent steel.

Also my fault.

As mentioned, changes in-game mechanics always have an influence on a big variety of ships. For some of them in a positive way, for some of them in a bit negative way. 

I agree, that Atlanta suffered a lot during those changes, also that is why we decided to directly buff her range.

Well, not direct nerfs are always a result of a big change in some of game mechanics. So it has influence on huve variety of ships, plenty times to every single ship in game.

Nerfs on FDR were needed, as she was always overperforming and even after these nerfs, she will be strong. 

Massa was, is and most likely will be very strong in secondaries and we are definitely not planning any nerfs of secondaries. 

 

[Fesvil]

To be honest as the FDR is in nowhere near the state it was, ask for a refund. Spend the steel on something else..

I prefere T61 to Z39, and this one looks like a worse Z39.

[Fatal_Ramses]

Give Immelmans flag and I buy her.

@YabbaCoe In the Armory Johannes Meck-Leyne is not visible when I apply the filter to display German commanders (although he is visible when no filters are applied).

I'd say it wasn't as much a buff as an adjustment, similar to what Kutuzov got when AFT was changed to work only for guns 139mm and under.

[Redwing6891]

The ship is pretty much a copy-paste of Ernst Gaede, with a repair party replacing the smoke generator. It's up to personal preference what is more useful to you but Gaede also offers customization options for different style of gameplay. And she is the keystone to opening up the remainder of the German DD lines.

 

While KvS is a handsome ship, I'd stick with Ernst Gaede.

 

However, the commander is very entertaining. The German voice of Bruce Willis, no less! :)

[lmperial_Japanese_Navy]

I swear if there is another new German ship ! ! ! 

 

New German ship every weekend WTF ?! Add something new for other nations, come on !

[lafeel]

Have no problem with  Karl von Schönberg being added to the game, just don't see any reason in getting her for myself sorry.
