Kinda sad as I was really looking forward to buying her. Is this actually the case ? She really going to be strictly a promo ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,874 [WGA] Radar_X Administrator 908 posts 382 battles Report post #6 Posted January 15 Howdy folks, please bear in mind until a ship has hit the live server it is still in development. Until you have heard something from a portal article, news post, or development blog it isn't final. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Radar_X pointed out noting is final. WG has been really good about giving ships away in campaigns and other means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,925 [KNMSU] Battleship_Elisabeth Members 4,726 posts 5,104 battles Report post #11 Posted January 15 Well, that certainly would be a bizarre use of development dollars. Not to mention that it seems to be a fairly popular ship. I guess I'd wait and see. Something tells me that if it is merely promotional, Witch-a-gate will quickly metastasize, and we'll wind up with it anyway. :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
340 [WOLFC] DocWalker Members 772 posts 7,370 battles Report post #12 Posted January 15 I think Promo can be misleading here ... would you believe Atago B is currently listed as a Promo? http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Atago_B There are actually several ships listed as Promo, which we know is not the case. http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Category:Promo_and_gift_ships As @Radar_X advises, be patient until its status is announced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good possibility. Given the impending CVpocalypse, I'd expect the next big event promo to be one of the reworked premium carriers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

438 [ADPT2] Spooooooooooooooooooooon Beta Testers 1,202 posts 9,043 battles Report post #20 Posted January 15 Sounds like it will be offered in some way other than a straight cash purchase in the premium shop.

641 [BNKR] RagingxMarmoset Members 1,054 posts 1,004 battles Report post #21 Posted January 15 It also shows Azuma, Lazo, and Irian for 99,999 credits. Those numbers and currency types are all wrong. I wouldn't read much into the Wichita thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
