524 SourHammer Alpha Tester 1,907 posts 12,800 battles Report post #7 Posted October 7, 2015 If they start giving out Iwaki Alpha ships as prizes Im selling mine then. Part of the joy of having it is that there were only so many alpha testers and the ship is kinda rare. I also enjoy all the comments in game from pple who have never seen one lol.

Nothing from the devs indicate a re-release. They said that pre-order bundle ships will be exclusive for a year. Nothing along those lines about reward ships though.

I do not have either, but it is nice to see them as rarities when I encounter them in battle. Neither one is impressive but still fun to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could, as they did with Omaha, Marblehead, and Lima, (not to mention Murmansk). Having so many ships to choose from, I doubt they would do another Iwaki any time soon. Would not make sense, and probably would create bad blood with the Alpha Testers. I would not be happy if I had a rare one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those guys earned their badge of honor. Even if they released just a plain "Iwaki" I think it would cheapen the original a little. That said, I'd be surprised if they decide it can make them money and sell it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I despise most of the cutsey slang names people have for certain ships like Pepsicola and Furry Taco. I will say though that triggers a much lower level of annoyance than other things people do and say on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Historically ships have always picked up nicknames, USS Salt Lake City was the Swayback Maru, The USS Pensacola was the Grey Ghost, and my favorite from the Japanese constantly claiming to have sunk her in the opening days of WWII the USS Houston was Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast.
