Of course it’s Russian lol.

I don't get the whole "primetime" thing. There are many people work just can't play during those hours for whatever reasons. I feel like WG is excluding those who work nights, shift work, etc. And why only four days per week?

I agree. They could have alternated times a bit, there's a lot of people that do work nights and shifts.

It’s more than likely because that’s when most of our playerbase is on.

Oh yes, that is the reasoning of course, still it would be nice to accommodate those that work odd hours as they're probably more than one realizes as well. It's gonna be 2am-5am for me, but at least I'm able to choose to still be here even I'll be tired as <beep> the day after.

I don't care what nationality it is.

 

I mostly just want one for collecting.

 

I just don't want to deal with clan battles bullcrap to get one.

 

Make this thing available as a regular ranked reward for like, 7 rank 1s or something, and make the regular ranked reward ships available as clan rewards for 1/2 clan battle flags.

So I wonder, is the reward going to be an actual Stalingrad Class Battlecruiser or just a duded up Moskva with a new name?

Considering it hasn’t even started testing and we have no stats, no clue.

This kinda gives you an idea of what it will look like...

We'll have to wait to see what stats WG puts on it, but considering Moskva is a Project 66 heavy cruiser armed with 220mm guns and Stalingrad is a Project 82 with 305 mm guns, I'm currently imagining Stalingrad as Moskva on some steroids.

The Prime Time mechanic is there to concentrate players for matchmaking purposes (and also for team-forming purposes). It's a clear sign that they're concerned about the population and queue times for this game mode.

Looking at the rewards, it's a really good deal for the time spent. If matchmaking works decently, you're looking at 2500 base XP wins with 200% FXP per match, and 90 oil a day, per player.

 The format seems to be good.. for solo queue.

Lots of players from other world time zones too, play on the NA server. Many Euros, Pacific and not a few Australians, so it does seem a little restrictive. Iguess it wil lfavour weekend play.

Would be nice if WG were competent enough to apply it to solo ranked.

 

What WG should do at this point is to unify the reward and completion structure of regular ranked and clan wars 

 

You want to earn these reward ships solo? Go play ranked. Want those same ships, but want to play with your friends? Go play clan wars.

Yeah I know what she looks like. I was just pointing out to him that we have no clue yet if it’ll be the actual Stalingrad, or basically a Moskva clone with tweaked stats and the name like he was asking.

[Simers72]

Looks good to me... disappointed that Friday night is not considered "prime time."  Literally my main night to play warships.

Thanks for the update.

And WG thanks for the BOHICA!

 I agree.

 

 What I want to say is that this format is not good for clan wars. Extra derp points for not setting an end day: "Ends with Update 0.6.15". Yea, everyone will mindlessly play with zero knowledge of when a SEASON ends and no ability to plan and execute clutch end-season leaderboard shuffles. It is called a "season" for a reason, how come such simple things escape WG devs is beyond me. Still, I'm quite excited about participating.

At least it's not a ship that was ever built. I was worried that WG was going to stick a historically significant ship behind their [edited] clan wall.

My guess is it will become quite obvious what day the patch will occur for anyone who watches PTS and downtime notices. Most likely, they will also make a more specific announcement about the end date when it's closer -- not 2-3 months out like it is now.

Wow, WG! You really don't want this to work, do you?

But I'm sure you'll analyze your "data" and claim it to be a success.

[Xwing_Red1]

Hope that there are not Toxic players/clans like in WoT (*cof otter, mahou, guerrilas, havok, relic etc etc)

[Snargfargle]

Now if only I had a tier X ship and if anyone else in my clan had a tier X ship and if my clan actually had enough members to form a team... Well, maybe next year.
