fnord_disc Beta Tester 2,119 posts 5,245 battles Report post #12 Posted June 22, 2016 it's not a premium ship. It's the ARP Ashigara I doubt that. Why would anybody need to playtest a Myoko clone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still. Maybe WG will introduce a JP2/ Ferdinand situation, players choosing Mogami or Takao, both leading to Ibuki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

AFAIK this happened to only 3 ships(Yubari, Sims, Atlanta), so I wouldn't count that as part of their standard operating procedure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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).

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
