Why doesn't Tirpitz in-game have that qt coat of arms at the bow? It's one of the things I love the most about the German premiums (minus Tirpitz) in the game.

I main destroyers and ocean is fun. Without islands to provide natural chokepoints, people get less wary about torpedoes. Smokescreens give you all the cover you'd like when you want to shoot, and there's nothing stopping you from outrunning enemies. The only class I can imagine struggling on that map is cruisers.

If you weren't mentally retarded, you'd realise that just like with the Tirpitz, they're putting out premium/reward ships before the main tech tree. It shows that the ship has been modelled, and that they just need to do a few visual tweaks before a main tech tree branch South Dakota can be released.
Also, four South Dakotas were built. Why do you think that we won't see a premium Massachusetts (which actually has a much more interesting history than the Alabama) or a premium Indiana?
Angel Davis
Yeah but who knows when that would be? I was hoping Alabama this month or next. Not a year from now or more.
Tyler Walker
Yes, and I have been waiting for pasta tanks in World of Tanks since 2011. Do I get to win the oppression Olympics that the two of us are having here?
Colton Green
Why do you support shitty business practices? I'm uninstalling WoWS over this because it's shitty business practice. They want to reward their testers for sucking their dicks and fuck over the people that actually give them money and time. Fuck, WG. I hope they go bankrupt.

>Why do you support shitty business practices? You had no problem with charging the price of 3 new release AAA titles for an Atago? WoWS had shitty business practices from the beginning. Wargaming has always been a shitty company. You're just looking for excuses at this point; you don't care about business practices, you're just throwing a tantrum over a tier 8 battleship.
Mason Rodriguez
>I wasn't around for that. What happened then? WG gave out free Murmansks to open beta testers only to take them all away when they released the game. It caused an uproar on the forums mostly fueled by /wowsg/ to get them back and eventually WG caved. I figured we could do it again for this but this new /wowsg/ doesn't have it. God, I miss the old /wowsg/.
>>Look at this THICC new ship guys! This literally never happened though.
First it was datamined and leaked on TAP by Chinese supertesters.
Then it was briefly mentioned in the 0.5.16 patchnotes in one sentence, with no accompanying image.
Then the whole "it's for STs only" was revealed by a mod on the EU forums, and then one day later by a mod on the NA forums.
There has never been a time when WG teased the ship in front of your eyes. People were actively digging for the ship through datamining.
Aaron Price
Wait no, I got that wrong. It was a humble bundle chairty thing. You donated your choosing, it could be 5 cents or more so many did it and got premium with a Murmansk and then WG took them away when it was over.
Hunter Barnes
Anyone got screenshots of the new campaigns in the test server?
Isaac Taylor
>WG gave out free Murmansks to open beta testers only to take them all away when they released the game. You got your history wrong.
Here's what actually happened. WG did a deal with Humble Bundle, where for one dollar, you could get closed beta access to WoWS for the NA server only, and a Murmansk. The original page on the Humble Bundle website claimed that players would be able to keep the Murmansk forever.
However, a few months later, WG assumed that everyone forgot about the promise, and stated that upon open beta, the Murmansk would be removed from these players' accounts, and claimed that the Murmansk was only a temporary trial for the CBT period only.
The community got angry, and people displayed screenshots of the original description which proved otherwise. The situation got big enough so that WG stepped back and announced that players could keep the ship.
Jack Jenkins
They definitely promised a tier 8 USN premium ship in Q&A sessions. Maybe there's another one right around the corner, but if not, that's a really shitty way to answer those people's hopes and should count as teasing.
They also said it wouldn't be taken away after the beta period. I personally only bought into it after that confirmation. The guy who said it ended up getting fired. The situations aren't that comparable though. This is just a really dumb business decision when that was practically theft. Doesn't matter if there'll be another version of it years down the line. Why snub people like this when they're willing to pay for it now?
Jeremiah Garcia
SuperTesters already get everything handed to them on a silver plate. They get the entire tree and ships before anyone else, why give them more? Isn't that enough?
Adrian Rivera
>Maybe there's another one right around the corner, but if not, that's a really shitty way to answer those people's hopes and should count as teasing. And IJN BBs were one of the very first original lines in CAT, and I've been waiting patiently (so patiently) for them to release a prem BB that's not the fucking Ishizuchi. Deal with it or uninstall. Very few of us care about you throwing a tantrum over what you assumed was going to happen based on datamined shit.
Austin Barnes
Kill all Alabamas on sight.
Dominic Taylor
Well as the guy in the post said, it's for testing purposes. They get removed afterwards and don't grant any bonuses or anything. Getting something for putting the time and effort into it seems OK in my book. What bothered me more is that all closed beta testers got a tier 4 clapper BB. I really don't like that ship and the rewards from it are quite bad. Would've been way better to actually get a ship that you could grind credits with or something. WG is retarded but I don't think it's justified to be mad that supertesters get something. Although supertesters are also mostly retarded.
Gabriel Long
I don't know if they are placeholders but they are giving out standard ships in the new long campaign; Hiryu Fubuki Cleveland Kiev Ognevoi
I am assuming you get the silver equivalent if you already have the ships, I only have the Cleveland and Fubuki so this is pretty good for me
The other new smaller campaign is a Mikasa
Logan Walker
how does this work if you dont have the previous ships researched lol.
Xavier Sanchez
God forbid, wargaming talks to their testers and see what they want. I'm sure they would pick a Missouri or a ton of free xp, doubs, creidts or whatever but nope. Give them an exclusive ship everyone wants and fuck over the rest.
SINK ALL ALABAMAS. FRIEND OR FOE.
Wyatt Fisher
also seems odd to give kiev and ognevoi.
Grayson Wilson
You do realize that WG staff have higher visibility over their slave testers compared with other players, and teamkilling their testers will probably result in them using their own internal communication channels to get you banned faster?
Also, supertesters don't even have their stats recorded for non-released ships like the Kitakami and Tone, so it's not like you're ruining their winrate anyway.
Jonathan Brooks
As fucking if. There's already some ships that are unobtainable that not everyone has. Anything given away for free is better than nothing. And like I said, supertesters, as retarded as they may be, put a lot of time and effort in the game. I'd say it's fair that they get something in return. Now I don't know if they get other benefits but if they don't, I'd say it's fair.
Parker Ross
Why are you guys so fucking whiny?
Jason Edwards
Now Americans understand why so many weebs whined and whined after Kitakami was removed and Tone was indefinitely delayed.
Parker Allen
If you don't see why then you don't care two ways about it so there's no point in explaining it.

I like how he changed the number from 8% to 12% and his only high tier cruiser is Zao. You have to be a special kind of retard to get "deleted in one hit" if you're in Zao. Though I do agree radar/sonar shouldn't be given to battleships, but any retard knows this so no sympathy points for you, LunaticRed.
Should I destroy LunaticRed's arguments in that thread and have him pull the "I'm s-shitposting lol!!! its joke me make joke" card he always pulls when BTFO?

>supertesters, as retarded as they may be, put a lot of time and effort in the game
Im-fucking-plying. All they do is fuck around, shitting up games and give absolutely retarded feedback. Why else are so many lines fucked up if not for their glorious feedback? Case in point: RN CLs being fucked up on release, KM DDs nerfed before release and IJN DDs are still as fucked up as before. And to add insult to injury, the fact that Yuugumo can better torpwall than Shimakaze is something (((they))) should've reported to WG beforehand. And now they get an exclusive ship many ship collectors want? Fuck off, they get a ton of shit for free already, no need to gift them anything. The simple fact that they get to test new shiplines and prems for free should be already enough.
STs of any form are the bane of modern game development. Idiotic Yes-Men that willingly suck up to a company that already jerks itself off way too much.
Jayden Morgan
There was a NA supertester who broke NDA and stated that WG refused to listen to them when the majority of NA supertesters asked WG to bring back HE shells for British cruisers. If he is to be trusted, it's actually WG that fucked up the British cruisers in spite of supertester advice not to.
As for the other ones, I'd have no idea. I still wouldn't immediately assume that supertesters are to blame, until we have actual confirmation that it is the case.
