PseudoMi Players 607 posts 7,274 battles Report post #1 Posted January 25, 2018 Until now, WG systematically timed the launch of all special commanders slightly ahead of the launch of a same nation freePex ship. Seagal => Mo Dunkirk => Nelsol Yamamoto => Mu As a French special commander is approaching, we might possibly get a French freePex ship soon - this spring. Your bets on that ship ?

Your guess it was it confirmed by WG? I don’t think FreeXP ships are a regular thingy but more of an ad-hoc possibility if the need arises (ppl accumulating truck loads of FreeXP and have no sink for it or if there is an uproar about Nelson not being in the branch). My bet would be no FreeXP ship at all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CR33D] fumtu [CR33D] Players 3,842 posts 38,982 battles Report post #5 Posted January 25, 2018 I think that Dunkirk - Nelson was more coincidence than intentional move. Dunkirk is, maybe, added as release of RN BBs was planed to follow but Nelson wasn't planed as a FXP ship but regular tree ship at T7 instead of KGV which was planed as T8. Only later when WG rebalanced the tree a added Monarch at T8 and dropped KGV to T7, Nelson, after lot of debate, was released as T7 FXP ship. New French captain JJH will be probably introduced because French BB line is about to be released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are speculations, in fact we don't know what was exactly in WG's mind, let aside their com - which is always on hidden purpose.

Seagal => Mo Dunkirk => Nelsol Yamamoto => Mu i doubt you can make this statement. the only thing you can say is so far they released a fxp prem after a special cpt. (and that can be coincidence because of the ship lines in pipeline rather than intentional) since your 3rd example wasnt quite close compared to the first two. also seagul was somewhat tied to the miss. release where the other were not. but well maybe gascone will be a reward ship since its bad....

The only certain fact we know is this : The irony is palpable. It doesn't strike you as even slightly hypocritical to denounce the observations of others as mere speculation, and your own as inarguable fact? This FreeExp ship "pattern" of yours only hold water if you ignore every other event that happened in between captain and FreeExp ship releases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PseudoMi Players 607 posts 7,274 battles Report post #14 Posted January 25, 2018 Last autumn when WG begun to tease us about Musashi with just a historic picture, the forum begun to speculate how the ship will be sold. I was the one to say that most probably it will be freePex ship because special captain Yamamoto was just launched and looking back at the two previous special captains .......................

[THROW] wilkatis_LV [THROW] Players 5,061 posts 10,702 battles Report post #15 Posted January 25, 2018 Pretty sure WG said in their 2k18 plans that they want to release special commanders WITH each new line for that nation / line. We get a French captain bczuz we are about to get FR BBs. I'm just wondering if we'll get another US captain with US CL splitoff right after FR BBs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seagull has skills dedicated to BBs (Missouri), Yamamoto has skills most useful in BBs (Musashi), while Dunky has upgraded smokescreen width - something that BBs don't have. In other words, Jack Dunkirk is designed more for RN CLs and DDs. Like the Gallant. Which was released at the same time. 45 minutes ago, Salentine said: J.Dunkirk was at the same time the Gallant was launched, not the Nelson This guy gets it!
