Apart from Belfast, there seems to be another upcoming RN Premium: HMAS Perth

[MrFingers]

As posted on the WG-NA facebook:

 

HMAS Perth was a modified Leander-class Cruiser.

A plane? A plane and smoke? 

 

[olmedreca]

I would have though that HMAS Sydney would be more famous.

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

another flint well hmm not even know

[Robber_Baron]

That, or HMS Ajax.

But I'm not complaining, another light cruiser that'll likely fit my play style.

[creamgravy]

Both Perth and Sydney are famous enough. HMS Ajax and HMNZS Achilles will follow Perth eventually.

I worry about Leander being designated as the 'free XP paywall' of the RN CL line. Your a big squashy Farragut, gun DPM is no where near Flint/Atlanta.

Famous, maybe, but for her failure. Perth died in a birkenhead drill, while fighting an overwhelming IJN force with Huston.

[Redcap375]

So it will be faster with the upgraded engines? Thats it.....

 

Unless they look into the upgrade that never happened.  2x3 and 2x2 guns instead of 4x2.

 

That would be worth buying

A plane? A plane and smoke? 

 

Exactly.

 

"Oh hi there Mr. Red-Ship-with-10km-air-detection. You wouldn't terribly mind if I just smoked up and selfspotted you with my plane, would you?"

 

Well, we don't know for sure that she has smoke. That might be part of her difference from the silver ships. Hopefully Lesta has picked up on the potential issues of planes and smoke combined as well.

Isn't it a bit too early to speculate on performance when the ships themselves aren't even in the game yet? "Everyone" complained that German BBs would be the wurst based on paper stats, and see what that did to the poor MM

[fnord_disc]

Modified Leander so T6 presumably.

'free XP paywall'

 

I've tried to use the context to figure this out but what is a free XP paywall?

A silver ship so bad it makes you spend real money to convert XP to free XP so you can skip it.

That's because you can't judge a wurst just by pure looks and ingredients. You have to eat it to taste it!

[piritskenyer]

I think it means that you are to pay for free xp to get past it.

 

More commonly known as a paywall or a free-xp sink.

Oh you gotta be kidding me. HMAS Perth? 

I mean, I can just be overloaded with prems I need so bad. It's like rain after a drought. And damn, she looks so good. 

[damo74]

These new cruisers can't come soon enough, we need some relief from the Battleship heavy meta.

Overloaded with prems indeed. I already have more premships in my port than silver ones. (and then I complain I'm poor.)

[damo74]

I think it's more likely to be the tier 5 ship in the case of British cruisers. Tiers 2-5 are all essentially the same ship with minor differences.

[C4PT41N_0BV10US]

 Overloaded with prems indeed. I already have more premships in my port than silver ones. (and then I complain I'm poor.)

I don't have much problems with large numbers of prems, if they are evenly distributed. 

 

But screw it, HMAS Perth? I would buy 4 of them so I could constantly sail one even if they sink me before battle end.

Yeah. Perth, Belfast, Warspite and then the silver ship that's in port is going to be one hell of a xp gain each day for the cpt.

but how many of those sliver ships you gona keep??? 

 

Myself will be keeping Black swan (So wish she was a tier 4 AA prem like Yubari) and maybe ALL the ships at tier 5 and above.. Gonna need a lot of Captains. Will be buying the Belfast! Perth Mmmm not so sure depends on the Price/Tier

[C4PT41N_0BV10US]

I plan to keep everything from tier VI up. Maybe Neptune will be sold. And that's a big "maybe".

[Admiral_Chirkov]

That, or HMS Ajax.

you have a play style? I thought you just yolo'ed every game we play and hope for good results
