If only it was just a beefed up Amagi with better gun handling...

 

Nope, gotta squeeze those gimmicks in.

KII was to have torps in the original plans so it's not too far of a stretch.

The "refit" they have it wearing implies that she made it to at least 1945. Look how different Nagato and Fuso are compared to their original forms in the 1910's and when they sank. What WG did here was literally take the 1925 hull and slap 1945 AA on it, which is dumb and doesn't make sense for the IJN.

Well said at the end, both the last minute changes and the insistence viewers remember this is a pre-release subject to changes, blah blah blah. Important we get this. Those torps look like fun, catching players unawares, especially in the first few weeks after it goes on sale :=)

Nice video.

You were in the P-A DD?  Lol.  I was too busy watching your ship.  Lots of eye candy that round.

Yes, that was me. I fired the torps because I thought you were going to die sooner, but my heart started racing once I saw you were healing and weren't dying. Too close, lol.

Not seeing anything special about this BB for me to want to purchase.   I wanted to get the Mutsu because she was basically a Nagato with 16" guns at T6.  She's special and her performance is excellent if you look at T6 BB stats.  Unfortunately I missed the purchase window.  This is just an Amagi.  I have one and very, very rarely play her.

Which isn't a bad thing. The Amagi's a great ship. I'd like the Kii even if she were a bit worse than the Amagi. 

 

Besides, we finally get a high tier IJN BB trainer.

Will this be a tech tree premium, or limited sale in the premium shop?

Likely be a limited sale in the premium shop. Usually 2 weeks in the store.

I was shocked I stayed afloat as long as I did.  Anyways, wouldn't have card if you hit me.  Learned long ago to just brush off getting team torpedoed and move on :p

Thanks for the info and opinion Zoup.

I have Amagi and Tirpitz (which I like) and I have Mutsu (which I don't like). Looks like this one will be a pass for me.

Meh, another junk ship I'll never buy... But get in a Santa crate and then let it rust in port.

With the decrease to 31 seconds, she's by no means junk.  Not every ship can be a Kutuzov.

I'm waiting for 797 to hit the game as a reward. 24x2 100mm DP guns, 500 5.0km AA DPS. Sure, there's basically no room for MG AA, but when you have more AA DPS than a Des Moines, it really doesn't matter.
