What is that about?  I would LOVE to rent the Arizona for a few days. 

 

Is that only on the RU server or something?  Or is it a placeholder? 

 

Arizona has a permanent slot in my port and my heart.

 

She's beautiful(with finally a Vought Kingfisher on her catapult, instead of a bi-plane), Effective, good at making credits, storied and just an all around heartwarming ship that is pleasantly Over-performing.

Well don't you know only EU gets to have it permanently for sale. Oh the nation that built it and lost it, no, they can't ever have it for sale again. Does this retarded premium sale policy make any sense whatsoever? of course not. So EU gets one of the most iconic American battleships for sale ALL THE TIME, and North American never gets it again! I tell you, Wargaming is a company so filled with intelligent people isn't it? It's no wonder why their games are practically dead in NA compared to other regions.

They also have Dunkerque permanently, which is kind of annoying, as I was hoping to get her sometime.

Now if only I can convince WG to make her deck wood colored, like she had at Pearl, I'd be tickled pink. (not to say the skin mod I'm using to fix that isn't amazing, I just wish it was official and I didn't have to mess with the files each update)

I take her out every day.  She is currently my best T6 ship.  Beautiful to look at; love those red turret tops.  Makes a good penny win or lose.  A fantastic angled bruiser.   Absolutely crushes when top tier, and can easily perform in the top half of the leader board even at T8.

And the EU Premium Shop also still has the Indianapolis too, another very historical American ship.   As well as the Murmansk and Scharnhorst, as well!

 

And Prinz Eugen is leaving the NA premium shop in 2 days, but there is no notice at all in the EU Premium Shop that it will be gone from that store.

 

What gives?????????   Why is the EU getting such preferential treatment on buying premium ships?  

 

What could possibly be the reason behind such inconsistency?   Why treat customers differently by region??

Uh, premium store is handled differently by each region.

Agreed, I almost never have a bad battle in her. Can just take an absurd amount of abuse while dishing out really tight salvos at range. Her only downside is the speed, but that's a given with US dreadnought ships.

And that's where complaints arise from. NA has always been notoriously questionable in their marketing practices and how premium releases are handled. 

 

As someone who is not really interested in owning the Arizona due to the play style, I completely agree that it is ridiculous that the ship isnt permanently available for the region of its home nation. 

 

Selling premiums in a limited window for whatever reason, especially ships like Arizona and Indianapolis, is extremely aggravating.

That is no answer to my question.  Is it not the same corporation???

 

I also noticed that the price of premium ships is slightly higher in the NA Premium Store as well.

 

Why charge folks in North America a couple of dollars more than players in the EU???

Each region can vary what they sell, they don't have to be the same. Costs are different because reasons, I have a feeling it might be because of Americans having a higher income than many Europeans.

People always get annoyed and say their server is the worse, and is something every server does. The grass is not greener on the other side.

And WG's practices create complaints like these, its obviously not exclusive to NA, but they are amazingly skilled at angering literally every server due to having the marketing teams of each server make their own choices. All clusters should have access to the same tech tree premiums, and if WG would like to continue their limited time offers on premium ships, it should also apply for everyone. 

 

Besides, not having two United States storied warships for permanent sale on a North American server, yet is always available on a different region's server...can you honestly defend such a decision?

If the deck color is the price of the boosted AA for the 1.1" AA guns she didn't have installed at pearl harbor, I will take it.

Arizona is a freaking beast, i would seriously recommend picking her up the next time she rolls onto the shop

I plan on it lol.  I despise the T1-5 USN ships, but hear the Arizona is better then the NM outside of worse AA and a little worse velocity on the guns.  But I hear it has better armor, better accuracy....

 

Plus, having played NM on the PTS, and carried like 4 PTS PVE Coop games in it, yeah, I look forward to when the AZ comes on sale again.  WG should just put the dang thing for sale always though..

 

Screen shot?!?

 

Link?!??!?

Thats about right......so typically wargaming, its why im not a fan of them lol.  They just happen to always have the game im looking for, or not really, but it ends up being just decent enough to play....

True, but she looks so much nicer with a wood colored deck. =3

I actually use a skin by Misato, who has several VERY good no rust skins. They make my ships look like they came right out of the dry dock! =D (which yes, I know isn't exactly realistic, but they look so damn clean and beautiful without all that nasty rust)

Yes, tune in next week when for December 7th on the NA server, we get a Japanese Aircraft carrier complete with D3A Vals and Zeros.  The Arizona wont be for sale, but it will be in the picture, being shown getting sunk again because reasons. 

 

Kinda like how Armored warfare, for Veterans Day, which I assume is just a US Holiday, the freemium tank was a T-62....lol. 

Why not, for the 4th of July, give us a Russian BB just because. 

 

Then put that Japanese Carrier on sale forever on the NA server.   Oh, but do put the AZ on sale, on December 8th from like 9pm to midnight, just to really tick off the NA server.

I would hope for them not do that, as it would mess with player sanity, but knowing them they very well might.
