Regarding Kamikaze and Fujin:

„Dear players! 

We inform you that the project team on the basis of a number of reasons, decided not to plan the future sales of these vehicles. 
Sales EM Kamikaze run in the previous timeline (the New Year). 
Sales of these vehicles through the personalized offers system will also be discontinued. 
In the future, you can use these vehicles as prizes for the various competitions held by the company and partners. 
Sales of gift books are maintained until complete exhaustion of stock of goods to partners normally. ”

Kamikaze/Fujin now officially join the ranks of Gremyashy and Nikolai as overpowered premiums.

Dear readers,

first and foremost, I’d like to state that everything contained in this post is my personal opinion, as I do not want to draw Seb into this if he doesn’t want to – thus, any criticism should be directed at me.

Now, what I want to bring to your attention and seek your support in is the state of WG EU’s relation to the playerbase, which some of you might have heard of. This post is catalysed by the very recent Christmas campaign fiasco, which I will describe in more detail in a moment for those who didn’t follow the news in that detail.

In Patch 0.6.0, Mutsu will be added to the game as a tier 7 premium battleship, together with Mutsu’s introduction to the game, Nagato’s A hull (Stock, pre-war configuration) will be removed.

Nagato and Amagi in 0.6.0.0: both will lose hull A, hull B will become their stock hull. What about the experience we spent for those hulls? You will definitely be compensated, no detail but it may be by free experience or credits. I trust Lesta more than Minsk.

What we’ve got here? Mutsu, Ashitaka, Yamashiro and Musashi.

I tried out the new perk “Keen Intuition”. Currently, CV is the only class that is immune to this skill. Yes, the indicator will not point towards them but to the other classes. I will try checking other perks to see if they have any changes.

Complete Missions. Get Graf Spee. Have fun. It’s that simple!

Starting on 23 December, we’re setting you missions that will reward you with a grand prize (among other things), the newest addition to the Premium ship line-up, the Tier VI German Cruiser, Admiral Graf Spee! This will follow the Campaign mechanics and the four missions will be staggered over a few weeks so you will have to wait a little for the next mission to unlock, if you complete the missions straight away!

The Hunt For Graf Spee starts on 23 December and the Campaign finishes on 19 January 2017!
