Nation bound, though the voice acting suggests that they are all guinea pigs. 1 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it's very different. If you sail this ship you not only proclaim your weebery to the world but you also demonstrate how quick you are to spend money to do so! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you can apply any temp camo and you can change the captain, I bought AL Yukikaze a while ago because F3 torps on a tier VIII Kagero? But yeah......

But yeah...... Name will stay. That said, if you happen to have some money to burn and you're looking for a new ship, you might as well get weeb version of it. Granted, WoWs PC team is yet to make an actually convincing AL skin for their ships instead random recolor that very vaguely resembles original character color palette, let alone any characteristic features. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't particularly mind weeb ships, got some of the HSF ships, but I'm not particularly fond of the Azure Lane designs. Been looking to get Azuma for a while but looking at the difference between the AL and ordinary versions with coupons the difference is about 955 doubloons, and all things considered I'd probably get the non AL version, though it's still available for free XP or coal so there's that too. Probably better to just grind it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably better to just grind it. Given fragility of Azuma/B-65 in general, putting this much money/doubloons behind her I find... questionable to say the least. For free currencies, she's okay-ish pick? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought i read that the Montpellier is a better Cleveland? Montpelier (more accuracy in exchange for reload?), Yukikaze (F3 torpedoes) and Soyuz (regular dispersion formula) are different, the rest are carbon copies I believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I already have Yoshino anyway, I just like the Japanese cruisers/bb's so it's an itch that needs scratching, not going to splash cash for it though, will get it for "free" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Montpelier is different rather than better: slightly more accurate and with slightly more HP but with a slightly long reload. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[GEUS] Purnylla [GEUS] Players 1,105 posts 25,180 battles Report post #14 Posted May 27, 2022 Keep in mind that commander Azuma is the reward for completing the Azure Lane Collection. And the regular ship Azuma is availble for 1 milion freeXP. Which means you can put Azuma on Azuma without spending a penny (or doubloon). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
