Replacement for Kutuzov?

[Gen_Saris]

Just wondering if there is a Kutuzov replacement in the pipeline? It's removal from the shop means Soviet Premiums stop at tier 6 and there is only ONE T8 prem cruiser available, the tired old Atago. 

 

Will we be seeing a replacement this year?

Only 3 premium cruisers in the works right now. One is at tier 10(Salem) and the other two are a Pan Asia cruiser at tier 6 and an Italian cruiser at tier 7. Nothing for 8.

What about Leningrad at T7?

I wonder if they might just re-release it without smoke, and with a different name.  I fully expect a clone to be in the PA line or as a premium eventually.

Leningrad is a DD

I'm not talking about limited release ships. Kutuzov was one of the few T8s permanently available in the shop. 

 

Really dislike this stupid idea of making most premiums only available for a limited time. WoT has a shop chocked full of permanently available vehicles.

I would have been happy if they allowed you to swap the smoke for a repair party.

Hopefully Wichita shows up as a premium tier 8.

You can purchase premium camouflages for your Chapayev :))))))

On a more serious note, yes, would love to see another premium tier 8 cruiser. 

My suggestion has always been a German tier 8 light cruiser Seydlitz, a fictional and plausible design for the incomplete Hipper class with 12 150mm guns instead of the original 8 203mm, it would be very interesting to see it play since it does not require IFHE.

I kind of expect smoke for radar.  It would be a less stealthy chapayev with more hp.

I hate it as well. And from a marketing standpoint, I simply don't get it.

If they want to make the bundles limited time that's fine, but the base ship needs to be available permanently.

I'm not sure that the Seydlitz you reference would really be "fictional". From what I read, it look like it was the intended original design for the ship.  Regardless, it sounds like a legit idea for a premium cruiser, given its unique design.
