So far I’ve figured out Kidd and the Pan Asian cruiser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last news I heard about Haida was that Pigeon went to St. Pete about 2-3 months back for his visit and was trying to convince them to bring her in game or get the ball rolling like he did with Enterprise, but it didn’t go so well.

Although after seeing NoZoupforYou's review on how it's been rebalanced, I'm definitely intrigued to see how it will play in game.

I haven't heard that. Pigeon told me he was working on it about two months ago and there was a Naval Legends episode filmed. Hopefully that isn't true.

699 [NGA] JediMasterDraco Members 2,008 posts 12,384 battles Report post #7 Posted October 31, 2017 The two ships celebrating their anniversaries currently has me confused, I'm not sure if they're referring to when they were laid down, launched, commissioned, or what have you. "Preparing for the invasion" leaves me wondering too. "The Armada returns and it's bigger than ever" is a reference to that enormous $400 package that included every non-exclusive premium released to that point. And I have no clue what the reference to Meat Loaf is supposed to mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USS Kidd World of Warships Tier 8 Premium Destroyer Preview I'm debating getting it for competitive play, but I just don't see it standing up in Randoms. WG is clearly getting screwed over by the 6.3 bloom changes. They can get away with ignoring the existing USN ships, but with Kidd and Pan-Asian ships they are getting bitten by the problem they created. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't think Wargaming would seek to undo their mistakes when they can just make new ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They won't actually get sent to the Gulag if they admit that an idea didn't work out and revert the changes. The game would be be so much better if they did.

Well, Steven Seagull has Russian citizenship and one of his movies involved the Missouri (at-least within the story) so that at least made some degree of sense. Not sure how Meat Loaf would get involved in WoWS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,656 [-K-] Ace_04 Members 8,491 posts 14,883 battles Report post #18 Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) For the premium ship returns, if we're going by commission dates, Indianapolis was in commissioned in 1932 (85 years), while Blyskawica was commissioned in 1937 (80 years). If WG is going by launch dates, then disregard anything I've mentioned here. No clue what they are referring to with "Preparing for the Invasion". Maybe a follow-up to the ongoing Halloween clues?

420 [HINON] Jnobsire Members 1,588 posts 19,350 battles Report post #19 Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Indianapolis is still available in the premium shop though. Leningrad was laid down on 5 November 1932 - (85 years) so that's also a possibility. Edited October 31, 2017 by Jnobsir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming the latter, but could be completely wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the release of French battleships, some more interesting premiums such as Vampire, Aigle, T-61 and maybe a new scenario in the rotation would make for an interesting January or February.
