[SCRUB] Leo_Apollo11 Quality Poster 7,146 posts 31,549 battles Report post #13726 Posted February 8, 2019 Hi all, Quote Dear players, We’ve received a lot of questions about several work-in-progress ships’ distribution method. Today we’ve made the decision about three of them, and we’re sharing it with you to bring more clarity and avoid any confusion in the future. Azuma (IJN cruiser, tier IX, in testing) will be available for Free XP. Yoshino (IJN cruiser, tier X, modernized Azuma, in development) will be available for Coal. Neustrashimy (Soviet tier IX destroyer, in testing) will be available for Steel. The release dates for these ships will be published later, in the respective news on the game website. Thanks for reading, good luck, and fair seas! Interesting... BTW, since I have 2.250.000+ FreeXP I think that should be enough for both "Alaska" and "Azuma"....

[UTW] ShinGetsu Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 8,985 posts 7,359 battles Report post #13727 Posted February 8, 2019 That is very good news for me. It means I can spend my Steel for Stalingrad and will be still able to get Yoshino and Azuma. That name choice of Yoshino tho... xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[UNICS] Solo_Wing_Potato Players 317 posts 7,782 battles Report post #13729 Posted February 8, 2019 Good choice by WG, I was expecting Yoshino for steel which would have left it out of reach, so glad they’ve gone for coal instead. Can stay hyped now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humorpalanta ∞ Players 2,025 posts 13,785 battles Report post #13730 Posted February 8, 2019 Freakin joke. 1 mil for Alaska and surely another one for Azuma. When cruiser costs more than a BB... Neutrashimy should be freakin coal... If I wanted all the steel ships I should play for 2 years and they are still pumping them out. Disgustang. No money from me WG.

Well, anything WG will come up being even remotely balanced won't really stand up to Missouri, best T9 battlecruiser, which have hp, armor, guns and (had) pricetag advantage 1 minute ago, orzel286 said: should be called Hentaikaze.

[FIFO] ilhilh [FIFO] Beta Tester 2,451 posts 7,514 battles Report post #13734 Posted February 8, 2019 After taking an extended break from the game at about the time coal appeared, I am playing catch up somewhat. I'm still saving for the Jean Bart as a first coal ship, and would have probably added further coal ships after that... this certainly gives me plenty to save for. The CV rework has left me with 2.1 mil free XP so I guess the Alaska and Azuma are sorted then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leo "Apollo11" I'm happy they keep making FXP ships So far, Azuma seems to have a playstyle kinda similar to Donskoi (which so far was my most enjoyable tier 9 grind!), except that Azuma has no radar and no torps. Only thing is, why doesn't it even have any hydro at current? That is kinda a dealbreaker to me.

[NAN0] HaachamaShipping Players 8,474 posts 10,052 battles Report post #13741 Posted February 8, 2019 Well, guess I'll have to buy Stalingrad now, given I don't want steel DDs and Azuma is coal. Too bad I spent most on the Musashi. I do hope Yoshino will be decent though and at least gets some 30 mm armour back. Even Worcester has a 30 mm deck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy to see another free XP ship (even if the currently designed tier IX Azuma is pretty eh) and the tier X variant going for coal instead of steel. Kind of hesitant about the russian DD at tier IX being steel. The ship didn't strike me as particularily strong, but if they make it into a steel ship I can't even begin to image how insane some of the characteristics are going to be to make up for stuff like only having two turrets and what was assumed to be the typical RU torps ... save to assume she's NOT going to get normal RU torps as we know them from the game. 7 minutes ago, NothingButTheRain said: 44 minutes ago, Leo_Apollo11 said: Interesting...

Currently I'm not enjoying CB at tier 10 and neither are most of my clanmates, thanks to Stalingrad. And I was never a real fan of ranked as it also distracts from my usual grinds. So instead of having to save steel for maybe another year or so, I got myself a shiny new Black and no regrets so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, I really don't know how this happened... she is one of my favorite cruisers... I kept her with her 19 points commander... P.S. Just started "Moskva"... building "Elite Captain XP" to bring her to 19 points (just have 10 at the moment)... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But this status quo is also fine for me. Yes bring back ze dynamo! Btw, I noticed that having played dynamo for so often, it's vastly improved my DD gunnery skills I wonder how that could be? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in: Hide contents That's unfair, you have nearly 50% more battles for a mere 1.3m more FXP (And that's not even including the 2.625m FXP already spend on the other freemiums ) And the Azuma seems pretty eh for me as well. The best thing seems to be its gunnery and that it at least appears to handle like Donskoi. Donskoi! But frankly,. Neustrashimi seems even more meh then Azuma atm.
