139 cmdr_raccoon Members 821 posts Report post #1 Posted September 26, 2017 I don't know if this has ever been a discussion on, but I was wondering this as i was running around with my Nelson... Free XP ships. I think they're a blast; fun ships to have, nice premiums and of course an interesting way to grind for them. So far we have 2, one British and one American, both of them I already have and loving em. What about the other nationalities though? I'm sincerely hoping WG makes next free XP ships from different nations instead of piling up more on British or US. And yes a non BB free XP ship would be cool too. What do people here think other nation's free XP ship should be? Russian, French, Japanese, German and Italians.. (maybe pan asian free xp too?) Should free xp ships be only historical or can include some well known designs by their respective navies (not WG designed paper ship like say... hindenburg). Just curious to what people think.

Saratoga tier 7 with her 1940 fitout armed with 8" guns. Basically an American Kaga in terms of layout ( but only after the CV rework ). A tier 7 USS Porter would be nice as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
15 [AFK] Herodotus4 Members 136 posts 4,596 battles Report post #6 Posted September 26, 2017 I want another American one, HMS Victorious. the brits lent us a carrier when we were down to one so you can put American planes on it. She would fit in well as a tier 7 (50 plane hangar) and historically would be much tougher then others at that tier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think she belongs as the tier 7 premium British carrier though, not American. And even then, only after the CV rework. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before or after her refit? We're talking 4x2 5"/38 single purpose or 6x2 5"/38 dual purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She would fit in well as a tier 7 (50 plane hangar) and historically would be much tougher then others at that tier. Debatable, but I'm sure some people would like her under British line. Free xp ship for lesser known navies like austro hungarian one sounds interesting. (it's free xp, no need specific nation grind, just get the free xp and choose say a "pan european" ship u like) Personally, Jean Bart, or maybe Strasbourg (either of this all forward gun specials) can be my choice for a French free xp. And while Musashi seems a big fan favorite, I'd be personally more interested in IJN cruisers. Maybe the still unconfirmed Tone class. (what if they made kitakami a free xp though? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,110 [KSC] yashma -Members- 5,295 posts 9,972 battles Report post #24 Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I'd really like to the see the Chokai with upgraded Zao guns as a Tier 9 freemium. It would also have the added bonus of having all her torps be forward firing, giving her a more unique aggressive play style. Other than that, I'd just like to see more high tier premium cruisers. I like the Missouri and all, but I'm really not much of a BB kind of guy...and it would certainly be nice to have a cruiser that could rival her as a credit earner.
