2,080 1Sherman Alpha Tester 6,683 posts 3,338 battles Report post #1 Posted June 30, 2017 I get that they're doing an American-themed event/sale for the Fourth of July weekend, but why on Earth didn't they add in a Canada Day event? Does WG know that this Saturday is one of the most important days in Canadian history? Do they know how many people here would kill for Canada-themed stuff on the weekend of her 150th birthday? If you're thinking "that's because there's more Americans on the server who don't know that Canada even exists", then it probably wouldn't hurt for them to learn about their closest neighbour. P.S. Sorry if I come off as a bit miffed. I'd just really like to see the people who make a game I play regularly recognize and appreciate what an important weekend this is for a country I am very proud to call my home. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I am a Yank and agree with you 100% there should be something for Canada Day --- and they should release the HMCS Haida!! +1 to your post!

4,053 [SYN] MrDeaf Members 16,027 posts 12,803 battles Report post #5 Posted June 30, 2017 It's because, ultimately, Canada is 1/10th the market size as USA (we have fewer people than California alone) and we don't even have a Canadian premium ship for WG to sell to us.

Canada is, regardless of your geographic location in the U.S., your biggest trading partner and your closest ally (even with recent events taken into consideration). As well, I hadn't heard much about Mexico in WW2 until I just looked it up. It seems like they have some decent stuff to be proud of, like the Aztec Eagles.

We hate him just as much as you do. Worse still, he's from Stratford, home of quite possibly the most well-known theatre festival this side of the Atlantic (which I highly recommend going to BTW.

Pretty sure she's not even being tested yet, and if WG is currently making her since we haven't heard anything about her, they're probably not even done modeling her yet. I mean uh...if you want to try and sail around or purchase a half modeled non-functioning ship...be my guest...but I'm pretty sure WG would get some major flak for trying to sell a ship that hasn't even been finished yet... o3o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
