Where is the Kutuzov?

[SomeGood_OJ]

So after the update, Wargaming Re-introduced many premium ships in the game and put them back up for sale. Pretty much All the fan favorites except the Kutuzov. My question is why Wargaming won't put it back up for sale on the U.S server? Anyone who knows why please tell me.

They permanently removed it from direct sale a couple patches ago.

It was OP and removed along with Belfast and Perth. Though I think Perth was just rotated out and wasnt OP so she may come back. You can find the Kutuzov in the Christmas crates but it's a gamble.

I only want her cus she looks nice~ 

[Bill_Halsey]

she's also great for ranked.

[SomeGood_OJ]

Which is why I want that ship to be in my port.

Yes, Doesn't she??

I'm hoping we'll see some kind of Soviet tier 8 in the future to make up for Kutu being gone.

You know I have a bottle of Vodka I can't even drink anymore. Every time I open up me fridge I'm reminded of my failure to buy her. I was an hour to slow *sobs*

Got Belfast and Kutuzov out of Christmas crates today will probably be the only way to get them now

[desmo_2]

I bought Kutuzov because she was being pulled, and I had been putting it off.

Oh.  My.  Gawd.

I know why she was pulled.  Straight up troll ship, that one.  Love dat bote.

I also bought Belfast before the pull.

Why in the hell did I wait so long for those two?!?  My W/R would be so much better if I had bought them sooner!

It all comes around...  Played Kutuzov during PTS back in 2015.. Swore I would buy it immediately when it arrived, and did... Randomly bought Nikolai the first day it was offered, just cuz...

However... spent $300 bucks last year on Santa crates just to get Gremyashky. Got it on the LAST CRATE..... The Last Crate!  Dues paid.

Thank god those two were removed, both blatantly broken ships. Now if they'd pull Saipan as well...

Yep, WG said that Payfast and Kutuzow are not going to return while Perth would come back soon, aka now. You can buy her in-game with doubloons.

The main official reason was that the smoke changes altered the function of those ships and they offered a refund because their play style changed so drastically.

Well, in the Patch notes they stated something different...

"They turned out to be excessively efficient in certain battle situations."

She is a great ship. I will never get rid of her. Not the greatest in terms

of experience per battle but she is a great ship to play. Long live

the Kutz.

From those patch notes:

"After announcing changes to the way smokescreens will operate, the World of Warships Developers decided to give players who own Premium ships carrying a Smoke Generator (Mikhail Kutuzov, Belfast and Perth) an option to exchange the ships for Doubloons in an amount equaling to the ships' price, no discounts applied, if they feel those ships no longer meet their gameplay expectations."

Those three ships Kutuzov, Belfast, and Perth were removed just before I joined WoWS since October. And at least Perth made her comeback into the game.
