644 [APOC] DasBootcamp Members 1,982 posts 8,035 battles Report post #2 Posted June 11, 2016 You can look up the 0.5.7 changes and test ships. The USS Arizona is there for sure and iirc there is a Japanese one as well? They might make us wait until the start of July for the Arizona but it could be sooner. I haven't seen an official date for it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess, is probably the USS Arizona. She's all but officially confirmed on NA server by now.

395 [DBL-D] Grand_Commander_LuXun Members 2,201 posts 5,012 battles Report post #6 Posted June 11, 2016 I understand that Arizona has historical significance but her sister ship Pennsylvania actually served throughout the war and had 10 battle stars (if I remember correctly). Perhaps Pennsylvania could be the Tier 6 in a second US BB line? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps Pennsylvania could be the Tier 6 in a second US BB line? This is most likely going to happen. Arizona will be the premi, Pennsylvania will be in the tech tree probably with a late war refit....maybe...Depends if WG changes their minds on giving ships below tier 8 DP secondary guns.

I'm related to Captain Franklin Van Valkenburgh (we even share the same name), so Arizona is pretty special. I mainly want her because she's a Pennsylvania class BB (and her history of course) and since I'm a born and raised PA resident, I'll finally have a chance to represent my home state. That, and she's just oh so sexy with those tripod masts <3 That is awesome how you're actually related though. Its awesome to know that in some way, the Arizona will have her captain sailing her again, at least indirectly. Yay, more clones. And yes is a clone is near identical in basically every way save aesthetics. The don't buy her. That simple. If you want to complain about premium ship clones, complain about the ARP ships, or the Kamikaze R, or the Fujin, or the Texas. They are literally just reskins of the tech ships. Don't understand why you're choosing the Arizona, a Pennsylvania class battleship, to be the one you complain about as a clone. I mean, they aren't even the same class of ship ffs!

The New Mexico is a New Mexico class BB The Arizona is a Pennsylvania class BB The Pennsylvania class BB were the predecessors to the New Mexico class BB. So yes, its no freaking wonder they have similar stats. One of them is literally based off the other in real life. This is like saying the tier 4 USN cruiser the Phoenix is a clone of the Omaha because of how similar they are. The Phoenix was basically a prototype of the Omaha that was never built. The Arizona is not, in any way shape or form, a clone of the New Mexico class, regardless of the stats, which are not even official yet. Again, if you want to complain about clones, complain about the Fujin or the Kamikaze R, which are literally just Minekazes with a different camo pattern. I also don't hear you complaining about the Emden, which is a clone of the Dresden. Or the ARP Kongos which are literally reskinned tech tree Kongos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The USS Arizona is there for sure and iirc there is a Japanese one as well? They might make us wait until the start of July for the Arizona but it could be sooner. I haven't seen an official date for it yet. Since nobody's talked about it at all, I believe the Japanese premium is the Ashigara (the 3rd Myoukou-class cruiser). Don't know anything else about her as far as WoWS goes, since I haven't done the 0.5.7.0 public test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought there were files for a regular Ashigara, rather than just the ARP one? That's what I'm going off of, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
