1,244 Seraphil Alpha Tester 4,156 posts 8,061 battles Report post #7 Posted June 30, 2017 LOL $60 for Enterprise? For this pile? What joke is this. That's nearly a 50% increase in price over the Saipan, which is the same price as the tier 7 BB Scharnhorst. Yet for some reason Enterprise costs more than Tirpitz, already the most expensive premium in the shop normally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,380 [NG-NL] Reymu Members 7,182 posts 12,779 battles Report post #8 Posted June 30, 2017 Probably won't bother. Without the bomber HP module, her T7 planes are largely useless against high tier AA, and that TB drop is beyond stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CVs are typically more expensive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just pointed out the tier 7 Saipan is the same price as the tier 7 Scharnhorst. And in the tech tree, tier 8 CVs are cheaper than tier 8 BBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just FYI, the wiki and the announcement page both say she gets access to the bomber HP module. Doesn't fix the torpedo drop, but does buff up the planes significantly to around Lex levels.

418 BaronVonTom -Members- 1,187 posts 26,928 battles Report post #20 Posted June 30, 2017 It's quite disturbing that the ichase review didn't really have anything bad in it other than what HE didn't like AND LWM's review is not up yet and the Big E is for sale. I find this very strange and have to wonder if WG put a hold on letting LWM post her review until after the ship is for sale. I hope to god I am wrong, but it sure looks funny. It just looks to me like that they are getting the impulse buyers before an honest and true review is posted. If this is true, shame on WG. I am also curious to know if ALL reviews by community contributors and super testers get reviewed by WG before they post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
581 [-N-] GrimmeReaper Members 2,288 posts 15,955 battles Report post #21 Posted June 30, 2017 I am going to have to think long and hard after watching iChase's last video on her. I like CVs but if I am going to get double up tiered to T10 alot I don't know I can say yes to spending the money. Especially with that funky torp pattern. AP Bombs look great against German BBs but not much else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,026 [NATO] hipcanuck Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 2,665 posts 10,501 battles Report post #22 Posted June 30, 2017 I played against one in my Shokaku, his team won but only by the slimmest of margins, 2-3 more seconds and my last torp drop would have connected, changing the pts total back in my favour. Not sure what his damage total was, mine was the typical (for me) 90k+ when in a tier 8/9 battle, but the big E did bag over 30 of my planes and performed well vs my fighters. That was before the module buff! and $80 Canadian....erm....no. Not until I know that it can perform in a tier 10 environment. I paid about that for Tirpitz when it was first released and I can do quite well in a tier 10 fight, and that was before the needless overbuff of the secondaries.
