What i find bizarre is I now have a Tier VI and a Tier VIII dd... without having researched the Tier VII Minsk. While I do so appreciate the Tier VIII, think that's a fine deal... arguably, in such scenarios, the bridge/junction ship ought to have been completely researched - but not awarded. 

 

Doing it as they have, I will likely not grind anything/anywhere on the new lines until I've seen a lot of info from others.

Well, so far only played the new Ognevoi, but liking it. Solid guns, 1 km of invisifiring, 2x3 torps with 10 kms range and 69 second reload. No complaints. When the server population grows I'll will take her out in Random.

Okhotnik will be a premium DD, not released yet.  No clue when we'll see her.  The other three were alternate names for existing DDs.  Gordy was the new Gnevny.  Now that the update is live, the old Gnevny is removed from the game, and the Gordy (now renamed Gnevny) is live.  I forget what the other two were, I think Yerevan was the new Tashkent, so Opasny must be Ognevoi?  I could be wrong, not a big RUDD person, so...

Take 1 ship the ognivoi thing i was expecting atlanta levels of aa to make this a unique aa gunboat which i would have loved big time.

 

Instead i got crap aa and zero defensive fire?

 

What happened to all the new russian dds?

 

I fought them in testing?

 

No premium sales on russian day is pathetic i wanted to buy molotov the murmansk and leningrad today in the sale bundles.

 

Im not happy.

So, you are unhappy because RU DDs dont have Atlanta level AA and WG doesn't have on sale the ships you want.

Well, I am just a bit sad that the EU updates almost a day later which means I can't actually get the new DDs until tomorrow morning. Now I am just stuck looking at them in the tech tree on NA. :(

Why don't you get them on the NA server then?

No, they said the new tier 10 whatever its name is, would be the one with DF and respectable levels of AA  rating.

It still comes with 'Engine boost' as the standard choice. You have to go into the consumables selection screen and choose DF in place of engine boost.  Now if you are saying that you have looked and the choice isn't there, well, that's a different kettle of fish.

67K XP and 5.3M coins to fully spade the Ognevoi PLUS another 4M to fully equip modules... add in the stock purchase price of (guessing) 9.0M? 

 

Almost 19M coins +  67K xp for a tier VIII RU dd? Sounds expensive... 

 

NOTE: I looked and there is NO defensive fire AA option on the "stock hull"...dunno about the upgraded B hull. Probably there.

I think you need to mount the B-2-U turret to see that, because I certainly don't see DFAA as a choice.

Udaloi, on the other hand, has DFAA as a choice from stock.

 

Question is, however... do I want to play Ognevoi or stock Udaloi... again...

Hmm.....I have not downloaded the patch yet, but that sounds like a reasonable explanation.  But unless WG has removed it since the patch dropped, the Ognevoi definitely had defensive fire when the CCs had their hands on it.

Wait....did you lose all your Udaloi upgrades after it moved lines, as in do you have to research them again?

Yeah, that's standard.

Since Udaloi is now in a different line, all the XP and upgrades you unlocked are completely reset.

In exchange, you get a Tashkent with your Udaloi progress.

I tried it.

Ognevoi has its DFAA locked behind B-hull

 

It's AA DPS with all the upgrades is... well, questionable, but I guess it got all the tools it needs to be competitive 2 tiers higher.

I don't get the complaint here. I got free ships with port slots, free partially trained commanders and some extra credits.

All that and it breathes new life into a line of DDs I haven't played in a long time.

 

Seems like a win-win situation to me.
