Better look out, LWM will kill you. She disapproves of selling ANY PREMIUM SHIP, no matter how bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

964 [PLPT] SergeantHop Members 4,435 posts 6,599 battles Report post #11 Posted September 10, 2016 I love the Albany. Such a fun ship. I've gotten a number of krakens in her. Even better was that she was free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alas, and a lack!! She was fun in closed beta, but then fell victim to the open beta nerf hammer. Edited September 10, 2016 by Umikami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,693 [FOXEH] BladedPheonix Alpha Tester 6,885 posts 21,740 battles Report post #13 Posted September 10, 2016 bigger question is why anyone would want Albany? That ships way under powered. Also Albany was a gift ship and is tier 2, its not like we're missing out on lets say Atago or something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
59 JJDOU3D Members 675 posts 3,957 battles Report post #14 Posted September 10, 2016 Me I would buy it. It is not because it's a tier 2 ship that it is less fun. Lower tiers have their fun too that is different from higher tiers, and I play up to tier X. What I like about these ships is it gives me the chance to experience other play styles. And I would so like to experience Albany too like I would for the Anshan I missed too because I didn't know yet this game at that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

815 [VVV] Lord_Magus Members 3,246 posts 5,521 battles Report post #16 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I wonder why Albany isn't in 1907 refit form, with 10 5"/50 guns (or the 1918 refit with 2 guns removed and an AA gun added if that's too powerful for T2). Actually that'd be better than the awful Chester for the USN tech tree ship. Like a mini-Bogatyr. Edited October 21, 2016 by Lord_Magus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
59 JJDOU3D Members 675 posts 3,957 battles Report post #17 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I'd really like ti too more than the Chester. I hope at least that the new containers system can give it. Edited October 20, 2016 by JJDOU3D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
102 [RSDWG] rustydawg Members 657 posts 14,936 battles Report post #18 Posted October 20, 2016 I would pay for the USS Albany. I had full health in a Chester and an Albany took me out with two salvo's, I hit Albany with 30 or so rounds and barely scratched it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And one of only two that actually got a buff as a result of it? Yeah, it's that bad. They had to buff a free ship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many premium ships have been buffed in small ways, or like Atago, not so small ways. I don't think Albany was ever nerfed.

Many premium ships have been buffed in small ways, or like Atago, not so small ways. I don't think Albany was ever nerfed. Yet, look at how they have refused to buff some premiums that could use it for long periods of time. Like Atlanta (until the - very recent - addition of radar), Yubari (again, only a recent addition - ASM0 - fixed this), and Mikasa (which got screwed even harder by the new MM). I'm aware that they only explicitly mention nerfs, but it seems they don't want to touch them either way unless chronic community pressure is applied. Other than Atago's gaining of Repair Party, I honestly can't recall any major buffs to premiums before the series we got for the older CBT ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
