Well judging by how we have less than four days left in March, I'm guessing Saipan won't be released "sometime later this month" and of course to cap everything out we don't even get a discount event for the Tier XI and X CVs. I don't even want to think about how much Free XP I wasted on the Lexington hull upgrade, the Essex, and the Essex hull upgrade.

this is about as likely to happen on a WG game as a certified android giving birth

There's still a few days left. They said "Later this month." That doesn't mean if it's March 28 abandon hope and bash WG.

They said later this month, that means the last day in the month.

 

They just say later or late this month to get your hopes up.  If everyone would just shoot eachother straight in todays society they would say March 31st! Expect Sapian!

I wouldn't put it past Data and the writers of Star Trek the Next Generation.

Yeah I was thinking March 25 weekend, but they used that as their Soviet Cruiser launch weekend.  So, at this point, maybe before 11:59pm EST March 31st?  At best?

 

I don't know.  It's things like this that are indicative of Wargaming WoWS HQ not seeming to have their act together.  But who knows? Maybe they do but due to the lack of communication it seems they don't have it together.  We'll never know because they don't tell WGNA anything so the guys and gals and WGNA are left in the dark just as much as we, the players, are.

 

Based upon everything I'm seeing, it appears they got the cart before the horse.  They announced a premium CV to be sold, it was leaked to be Saipan, and after weeks, they wait until the last week of the month to add it to the game for Super Testers?  I don't know, but is that right? 

 

But because they waited so late in the month to begin testing it, are there issues with it to prevent it from being sold?  We'll never know I'm sure.  But it's their game.  They can do whatever they want.  Even if it means losing credibility among the player base.

This could be WG April Fools joke this year. Have it hyped all of march then on April 1st have a announcement that reads "You fools really thought you were getting a premium CV!"

I came to the same conclusion. The just wanted to hype carriers. No we suffer under all those carrier bots.

There have been a TON of rumors that it's going to be march 31st. And with all the evidence supporting that on the forums, I believe that is the "date of destiny".

at least we could have some an update from WGNA team ....kind of "due to testing issues Saipan will be on sale later bla-bla-bla..."

 

IMHO: right now it's Hiryu without 30-40% damage output (fires) for ~50$

In this case I'm gonna give WG the benefit of the doubt here. A premium CV is a bit of a tricky subject, if they've changed their minds on something and that caused a delay I would not be surprised at all.

What's the point of the Saipan, why do I want yet another USN CVL to struggle with?

Really figured it would come today. I've heard that premiums tend to release on Mondays, and it made sense with that last contest ending yesterday. I was exited, since I have today of and would have had a lot of time to play with the new carrier. :/

T7 Sims and T7 Atlanta (a VERY unique ships) need a sister  to collect our pain and qq :trollface:

 

For T7 Saipan needs bigger hangar and 2/3/3 (1000lbs bombs BUT due to low amount of planes (3) low chance for insane damage)

They usually run tier 9-10 sales during holiday season in WoT, and usually some other time during the year too.
