[TSSHI] Kazomir Players 1,566 posts Report post #1 Posted November 15, 2016 Basically Iowa with radar and better rudder for 800k free xp. Is it me or is that basically an OP ship that you have to spend money to get? Even if it was not. It basically invalidates the Iowa. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lankylad11_lankylad Players 765 posts 8,230 battles Report post #13 Posted November 15, 2016 i agree there is too much BB buffing recently. but among battleships, the montana is underperforming at the moment and it needs buffing on its own among its peers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as montana goes, maybe they need to think of something weird like this to buff it significantly Given it has nearly no short range AA it seems to be a postwar config next is an upgrade for Harpoons or Tomahawks? Im not a friend of the whole Steven Segal Thing they should have used real comanders for the 1st Special skill ones but this i just cant agree on sorry WG not on a BB even if they in reality had the best Radar there was said something like Balance over realism........

If it is - and always will be - the only single fukkin' BB with Radar: fine, i plan to get that boat anyways and having one that is different...whatever.

AnuSuaraj Alpha Tester 665 posts 10,194 battles Report post #20 Posted November 15, 2016 But the money grabbing in this game is priceless. It might even kill it at one point. We can't put a premium ship on tier 9? Oh well, let's just make it so that people have to spend around 30k dubloons for regular to free XP conversion. And voila, the first tier 9 premium in the WG universe. Worried about stealthy DDs torping you? Just light up your radar! Worried about cruisers moving in to HE? No worries, here's AP that pens angled cruisers and secondaries that rape from all angles. Worried about planes? You shouldn't. You have almost regular Iowa AA. My god. Does money grabbing in this game know no bounds? Well, I for one am not paying one cent till they implement a DD that deflects radar, launches 90 knot torpedoes that have "OMG why are there torpedoes spawning 10 meters off my bow" kind of detectability, and takes down planes with OP DD to air missiles... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it me or is that basically an OP ship that you have to spend money to get? Its not "Fun" and "Unique" if its not completely p2w. Anyone that still hasnt realised that by now? Remember what the first reaction to it was after the now established standard of p2w? "Its a shitty-version of Iowa for +/- 100 €, I am not getting that!". And so WG listened: Its now a way better p2w-Iowa that maybe only a few will get (because of the hefty price), but I am betting it will still earn them more than enough .... Well, I for one am not paying one cent till they implement a DD that deflects radar, launches 90 knot torpedoes, and takes down planes with OP DD to air missiles... There are hordes of players demanding "fun" and "unique" premiums that will buy more than enough to compensate in the meantime.
