How to buy Lo Jang?

[Manhands]

Hi I am a long time Wargaming Fan and have played World of Tanks since BETA/Release before taking a long break.

I am back and looking to buy into this series as well.

I have read that Lo Yang is the best Destroyer for premium ships. If this game is anything like WoT then I assume you want a solid premium ship to farm credits in.

How do I buy the Lo Yang? Ive spent about 30 minutes going to dead links on their store to find it... I see the Chinese Tree is "Coming Soon" but that was in 2016...

Is this ship unobtainable now?

[Lert]

Wait for it to be available again.

[Manhands]

Do you know when it was last available?

[TheKrimzonDemon]

Wait for it to be available, the next time will most likely be during the Christmas sale, through Santa Crates, if they have it again this year. During that sale they'll also have bundles of various ships. I got mine in a bundle which had Yang, Blys, Anshan, and Dunkerque, last November or early December, maybe @Lert remembers exactly when it was. He may also recall if Yang's been available since last Xmas, my recollection says it hasn't been.

[Manhands]

Ahh ok. *Puts wallet away*

 

I'll probably get tired of the game by Tier 5 after grinding their Free-To-Play experience. Oh well.

Sorry, but no. I don't.

@LittleWhiteMouse is sure to though.

All I know is that it was first available in early 2016 and in the christmas boxes 2016.

Ok, I'll set a reminder in my phone for 3 months from now.

I doubt I'll have that kind of money to spend on gaming after Christmas though LOL

It might be hard to correlate my available funds for entertainment and Wargamings Premium ship schedule to line up...

[Kapitan_Wuff]

@Manhands WG will rotate a lot of their ships through the shop during the holidays, good chance that between thanksgiving and christmas the Lo Yang will show up in the premium shop for a time.

I'd bet good money it will appear before the DD line drops...whenever that is.  Not sure if it will beat Christmas though...

I don't know where you heard that.  ...  Well, OK, I guess there isn't a whole lot of competition for premium DDs now that I think about it, but it isn't all that necessary to farm credits in premium ships.  Here's a link to LittleWhiteMouse's full review of Lo Yang.  

 

[Manhands]

I just want to buy this one.

[BlailBlerg]

Confirm Lo Yang extremely extremely good.

LWM's review might be out of date, Lo Yang got a 6.7km torp buff and huge hydro buff, and is soon to recieve a DefAA buff too. =)

What is a 6.7 km torp buff? It has 8 km torps now, did it have 2.3km torps previously? 

[tmGrunty]

Neither does the Lo Yang have 8km torps nor is 6.7 + 2.3 = 8

[geser98]

Oooh, it's been a long day for me.

hopefully it will be on sale. I got Belfast, Scharnhorst, and Kutuzov all at either 30% discount or 15% discount

From the Wiki:

Quote

The Pan-Asia faction does not cover a specific nation, but includes ships from various nations within the Asia-Pacific region. Ships from five navies are currently represented in World of Warships: the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China (Taiwan), the Republic of Korea (South Korea), the Republic of Indonesia, and the Kingdom of Thailand. In-game, each ship flies the individual jack of their respective navy (as shown below) in lieu of the Pan-Asian flag.

The Republic of China and People's Republic of China are part of the Pan Asia line, so I assume there probably will never be a separate "Chinese" tree at this point.

The Yo Lang (Tier VIII Republic of China Premium DD) and the Anshan (Tier VI People's Republic of China Premium DD) are currently the only two released ships in the Pan Asia line.  The Tech tree portion of the line is currently still in testing.  It consists of a DD line from Tier II through Tier X plus a Tier I cruiser and a Tier IV cruiser.  They can be seen in game being tested, but you cannot yet acquire them.

Like other lines, you would be able to move captains between the Pan Asia ships, but, as mentioned, the only place you can move them at the moment is between the Yo Lang and Anshan, but that will change Soon^tm.

Later additions to PA line: 

Huang He T6 cruiser

possible - Tan Yang T8 DD

or as Yukikaze T8 IJN DD.

It's on Public Test right now so I'm going to guess it'll be back for sale shortly.
