Seems a little silly, doesn't it? I'm imagining the conversation at WarGaming. "So, we need our first ever Premium Tier X ship as a Clan Battles Reward. Ideas?" "What about that American cruiser class with the 12" guns?" "Russian cruiser with 12" guns, you say?" "No, I-" "BRILLIANT! We'll call it the Stalingrad!" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If by "They" you are referring to a certain Clan that was said to have secured top spot in clan battles with some underhanded tactics... Understand that all players that won a certain number of Typhoon League matches received a Stalingrad flag, and that obtaining several such flags over multiple Clan Battles seasons will unlock the Stalingrad. So it's not just going to one clan. It's going to anyone that is able to win multiple Typhoon League battles over multiple seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that... just still digging at that "win" such things really seem to stick in my side i,,, Its just a game but that kind of thing makes people wonder why even bother trying if you don't have a fair chance because people do such things to gain an unfair advantage over the average person just trying hard to win, fairly and honestly to get JUST rewards, untainted by sneaky uncouth tactics... and not so much about what was done... but more what was not DONE about it, knowing it was done and passed by like it was not a bad thing.... to the thousands of other players.... Meh... that's what I get for being average and green.. I don't think I am entitled in any way to anything regarding this, just voicing my opinion (which is a generally similar one to hundreds of others on the matter) Edited February 2, 2018 by pmgaudio 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

139 cmdr_raccoon Members 821 posts Report post #16 Posted February 2, 2018 I'm just wondering if this might mean ships like the IJN Design B65, the KM O class, Dutch design 1047, and of course the often mentioned Alaska class, if they are to be made in game, will be categorized as (high tier) cruisers?

123 [AK] Seloth Beta Testers 482 posts 16,991 battles Report post #17 Posted February 2, 2018 So Stalingrad is a tier X cruiser? Then all of the large Cruiser Classes: B65 (pre 14 in guns), and Alaska are cruisers as their plan doctrine was intended. Good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4,053 [SYN] MrDeaf Members 16,027 posts 12,803 battles Report post #18 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) You know how Moskva has 18km of unconcealment when stock? = 13.82km max You know how Cruisers only get 12% from Concealment Expert, while Battleships get 14% from CE?

6,103 [KNMSU] Battlecruiser_Siegfried Members 7,086 posts Report post #21 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) So this fake thing makes it into the game and Alaska just rots. Boo. *Edit* Actually, let's go for the whole gas can on this, shall we? Stalingrad, Alaska, and B-64 were NOT CRUISERS. I don't care what their respective nationalities claim; I certainly don't care what Wargaming asserts (it's outright ludicrous that people cite this company's staff as if they were naval historians) - these were all battlecruisers. B-A-T-T-L-E-C-R-U-I-S-E-R-S. And, certainly, true cruiser captains do not benefit from having their lines capped out by ships that rightfully belong as tier 7/8ish battleships, or by premiums that muscle their way into the fracas and eat their lunch. People should recognize this for what it is: an effort to further expand the "battleship good ol' boys club" by intruding on cruiser tiering.

Ships like Moskva and Hindenburg were already pushing the envelope.
