The second one is a bit trickier but its most likely the USS Flint since it will be rewarded to this seassons rank 1 players.

I doubt that. Why would anybody need to playtest a Myoko clone?

*Cough* why do we need a normal Ashigara if we have Atago *Cough*

 

Serious note: Its indeed Arp Ashigara since her ship Model Files and Commander voice are present in 5.7 (and no traces of the Normal Ashigara as well)

A premium ship in an anime version. I'll dig out the old question: How to make Atago owners not furious about that?

Will Arizona be in her pre-WW2 configuration or will we be able to play her as the post-December 1941 reconstructed version?:hiding:

Simple: Wait for the Tech tree version :P (already confirmed Arp Takao will come out with the tech tree version)

Could be some time before that happens, unless WG have worked on an IJN Light Cruiser line to switch Mogami across to despite that they have pushed back the first "duplicate" line (USN Light Cruisers) for the foreseeable future. Still. Maybe WG will introduce a JP2/ Ferdinand situation, players choosing Mogami or Takao, both leading to Ibuki.

It is the way they operate.

1. Bring out premium ship/tank.

2. Get well known Youtubers to play it and talk it up.**

3. Make it slightly OP in one or two areas.

4. Release to public

5. Profit!

6. Change game parameters so its original redeeming features are now rubbish, or make an error in a patch so it suffers.

7. Prepare next premium ship. For maximum return on investment, use an existing in game ship model, give it a different skin, minor model changes.

 

 

** Ensure Youtubers are kept happy with in game goodies, trips to events and other exclusives that benefit their channels. Otherwise known as gratuities.

I strongly believe that they are paid quite well. WG is aware of the power of this direct and very effective way of advertising. Many gaming companies are...

AFAIK this happened to only 3 ships(Yubari, Sims, Atlanta), so I wouldn't count that as part of their standard operating procedure.

IJN dont had anything  compareble to brooklys/clevlands their best Light Cruiser if you discount Mogami (wich was by design a heavy cruiser)had 6 155mm guns barly enogh for T5 (oyodo).

Yes, that was a very nice "thank you" to their Beta testers and launch customers..... delivered whilst we were also waiting patiently for all those launch package doubloons to become "unified" as well,,,

​Actually Atlanta is now a decent ship that it dont get citadelled instantly and lose 6 Turests in 30 sec to HE fire from an Omaha.
