2,085 [WOLF2] TheDreadnought Beta Testers 4,720 posts Report post #2 Posted December 15, 2017 KGV class is one of my favorites. . . so yeah, I'm excited to get her. Just hope the final stats don't make her a port queen. I still say we need a Prince of Wales with: - Reduced AA - Warspite heal - Longer secondary range - Smoke screen (purely for escaping when overextended) ala Battle of Denmark Strait 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,941 [BOTES] pikohan [BOTES] Members 3,641 posts 18,981 battles Report post #5 Posted December 15, 2017 Has it been confirmed or even hinted at officially that we can earn her? Last year with the Hood all you could earn was the camo. I wouldn't count this particular chicken before it hatches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,882 [WTFS] TheKrimzonDemon Members 9,336 posts 13,771 battles Report post #12 Posted December 15, 2017 I think it's rather cool. My question is on the live server, does the captain come with 3 points, or with, say, 7-10 points. I mean, it's a T7, soooo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,425 [0456] _ENO_ Members 3,945 posts 10,545 battles Report post #13 Posted December 15, 2017 Having a campaign to work is definitely a nice distraction... win or lose in battle you're always taking a bite out of something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,131 Goodwood_Alpha Members 3,043 posts 10,248 battles Report post #14 Posted December 15, 2017 Yeah, sure, I'll earn her. Even if they'd left her without a heal, she would still have made a good Co-op boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add a BB that trades its heal for a limited charge smoke screen. Give its guns a bit of a break on visibility when firing out of smoke so that the consumable has value even for a BB. That’s how you strip a heal off of a battleship without making it a big target. As for the OP...nope. I’m not remotely excited about the Duke of York. I may not even bother grinding for the thing. WG went for finesse at first, then switched over completely to function, and in the end came up with something boring and unappealing. Free ships are never bad, and I’m happy that WG is offering us another one, but this one just leaves me with a sour taste.

4,169 [SYN] mofton [SYN] Members 9,313 posts 18,914 battles Report post #18 Posted December 15, 2017 Mixed views, a free ship is a free ship, but this one doesn't look that good and with Nelson and Hood already I don't know how much sea time she'll get. I hope she'll be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

106 [PNGYN] Viper101 Members 493 posts 4,004 battles Report post #20 Posted December 15, 2017 I'm just happy that I will have the chance to earn her. From what I have seen, shes a very generic battleship (which isn't bad), and I would personally struggle justifying dropping ~$40 on her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like I've been following all the news on the campaign, but I hadn't seen this yet. First leak was about 3 weeks ago. PTS offered the Tirpitz as a place holder. So the news is not really new. The new Dev video is the first time we got a official confirmation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
