300 [WKY20] LifePilgrim Members 1,313 posts 7,092 battles Report post #1 Posted July 31, 2016 I'm weighing between buying Dunkerque or the soon-to-be-released F1 2016. Any ETA on the Dunkerque. Like sometime August, September, or October? F1 2016 is releasing on 20th of August....with pre-order you get bonuses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
293 QJW Alpha Tester 1,150 posts 5,747 battles Report post #2 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't hold my breath since German BBs are most likely coming out next patch and then the French are probably after that, so the Dunkerque would probably be released during the French tree release time. That is probably all in all, about 2-4 months out from that at an optimistic ETA. But who knows maybe it will release with the German BBs, what do I know. :v Edited July 31, 2016 by QJW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But who knows maybe it will release with the German BBs, what do I know. :v I would assume it'll be out with or near the German BBs. It's currently being run through PTS, which means the ship is mostly built and is undergoing sea trials for performance and balance data. Also, Warspite came out months ago, but the Royal Navy is nowhere to be seen, so I don't feel the French Navy's release date actually has anything to tell us. To answer OPs question, I would say get F1. It seems unlikely Dunkerque will be before that, and when she does make it to port, she'll likely be for sale a while.

91 Ukrainian_Farmer Members 390 posts 2,764 battles Report post #13 Posted July 31, 2016 The Scharnhorst is probably going to be released as the same time the German BB line is released. That was my point. I don't think they'd put both up for sail at the same time, because not everybody who buys digital boats can afford to but two at the same time. It makes the most sense to release one, wait a little while so your cash-givers can save some more money, then release the other one. And with all the hype out for ze Germans, it doubt it would be the French ship first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

295 [BONKZ] Amogussy Members 888 posts 11,837 battles Report post #15 Posted July 31, 2016 Seeing how the Lo Yang just got re-released, I would say that the German BBs will come out mid-August once the Lo Yang leaves the store again. So assuming the BBs are coming at that time, the Dunkerque will either come into the premium shop at the same time or about two weeks later or so. So either mid-August or start of September is the time frame you're looking at for her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

300 [WKY20] LifePilgrim Members 1,313 posts 7,092 battles Report post #18 Posted July 31, 2016 Thank you guys! I kind of agree with mid August to start of September release for Dunkerque. The pre-order bonus isn't important to me. I can wait to see which would be a better (more fun buy). I already have F1 2012, 2013, and 2014 for my F1 itch anyway.

I can safely say, I do not know when Dunk is getting sold or not. WG never tell us supertesters if they gonna to sell or delay the ship for more testing. We just do the testing and give feedback, that it. You guys are better off asking one of WG staffs or Devs when it coming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You guys are better off asking one of WG staffs or Devs when it coming Indeed, release dates are always changing. The devs must first have an ETA for the ship (typically 1-2 months after put into game) and then even after Supertesting, the ship might be put back into Supertest because it might need some tweaks. I will give the Dunkerque an ETA of 1-2 months, as I will with all ships.. unless a ship is announced before a significant date in history e.g. sinking.. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
