Why are UK subs on double for Naval battles

Looks like WG jumped the gun with Naval Battle this weekend by 3 weeks.

 

I'm guessing this is planned when British sub for random bundles comes out.

Iffy, cause if one your clan's x2's happen to be something nobody has due to it being early access. Would this qualify as 'unacceptable' what do people think?

Provided the opposing clan(s) you face have the same number and distribution** of x2's it shouldn't unfairly affect the outcome of the NB.

Seems a bit cr@p though that there's a varying number of x2's as that introduces a bias for the income of oil, but in the grand scheme of things that's probably fairly minor.

No idea why the number of x2's should vary - may as well make it fixed and eliminate any reason for doubt.

 

** Including unavailable ships.

    Of course, if a ship is in testing then as others have pointed out that would introduce an unfair advantage to those clans who have members that have (restricted) access to such a ship.

   Doesn't take away from the absurdity of a star (and a x2) is on a ship class that no one has access to. :Smile_facepalm:

If WG could learn from their mistakes they wouldn't be WG.

I bet they learn how to solidify them better. ^^

Sorry if this is a silly question but are the UK submarine tokens even available yet?

Yup.

Not yet, in 3 weeks from now, but I thought WG is going to introduce the T8 premium one , Allience.

Pure coincidence, I'm sure. It is not like WG is just forcing subs down out throats. Never!

Well, not quite.

What's really absurd is that British subs aren't actually available during the NB weekend - unless WG releases the premium in the next day or so.

I didn't accuse WG of actually doing good job at it. I just appreciate intentions.

Perfect excuse to add them back for testing or in the premium store?

Looks like we have a couple of possibilities here:

  • A good old-fashioned coq eurp, as the French might conceivably say.
  • Since I see we've got to the 'closing bad-tempered threads on submarines, and directing people to the black holes that are the sticky threads' stage of trying to stamp out ill-will towards submarines, it could be a poorly-conceived attempt to force people to play the things.

With a less malevolent entity than WG, I would assume the first option, but given the incompetence, option 2 has to have at least a fighting chance...

I got a handful of the damned things this morning, probably from the random daily bundle thing, so assumed it was live.

I've not really been paying that much attention to this early access event my sentiments are aligned with this old chap.

Image from @Siagor, IIRC.

You know there's a bit of irony linked with that image, best not say more...:Smile_hiding:

Aye, it's the random bundles:

I don't have a NB on EU, but here's what I have on ASIA:

I'm not contradicting myself. Allience is ready for release, nothing to do with RN subs early access. Cause it's a regular premium.

Still, many other nations with premium ships that don’t even appear in Naval battle, let alone giving double stars to EVERYONE.

 

A technical bug maybe? If this haven’t happened already with premium subs before.

Same was when i56 and S-189 were getting released. Exactly same thing, with Naval battles, you could do the IJN subs and and the soviet ones as well.

Not that old stuff, WG methods are well known. 

They are just giving advantage to those who bought it. That's a real pay to win stuff.

Nations with premium ships only, or more exactly premium ships only in any particular class of ships,  should not appear in Naval Battle. Only those slots are 'open' that have tech tree ships in them.

In any case, British submarines are not available yet regardless, so it won't have any impact on naval battles.

The ships are no longer in testing, meaning that testers also no longer have access to them

Just had this one. What's that superunicum playing, then? Could that be a premium British sub, perchance?

 

Incidentally, great job with the matchmaker: my team and I really had a ball...

He might be a CC. Supertesters don't have it anymore, I think she with the privateers. But CCs are now making some content, so I guess it'll be released in the upcoming week.

Still if the same thing with Naval battles will happen next week - I won't be surprised cause they did it back in October 2022 with i-56 and S-189.
