In case you hadn’t seen read on IGN German Battleships and destroyers are coming 8/12.
And it hinted that Yamato is coming for all those that were worried.
Now people can start to complain about why the Yamato is $120. Lol

That's great. Now we can have either, A, another Iowa situation with a ship that is just a straight upgrade of everything else. Or B, a ship so heavily nerfed because it's literally fighting children that it will be a chore to sail.
I rarely play my Iowa just because of the cost being abandoned by my team on a flank isn’t fun. I can only guess it will be a tier 7 premium which will be ungodly expensive and just as likely to not be played by me. So I will likely pass. Unless I have a few too many beers which is how I got the scharnhorst. Lol.
Tier 4-6 is the sweet spot for fun IMO.
I hope that they aren't thinking of putting in top tier premiums. Not only is that going to be absurdly expensive and bring out even more idiots into the top tier spread, it's also going to just destroy what little good will they have. Not even WoT on PC have sold out that bad to start selling tier ten premiums.
I want the game to last but it's obvious the devs don't want that if they make tier seven premiums.
I don’t see how you could bring in Yamato at this point other than tier 7. I was guessing it was a premium but maybe it’s an alternate track. But certainly will be interesting to see how they fit it in.
The other thing in that article is I think enough people spent real money to get the German destroyers because it implied that Battleships would be the same way.
I am a capitalist so pay to skip grind is ok with me as long as the end item is the same for those that do spend the time. Time is money after all.
Pay to win isn’t ok. Even as much as people complain about the Atlanta. It’s super annoying yes. But not OP.
I don't mind the pay to skip grind, I mind it when that is the only option other than an arbitrary wait time. As well, the only way I could see it is the way they had Missouri and Musashi on PC by paying out 750,000 free xp.
As well, if this whole trend of making people have to gamble or hope the few free crates they get give them a ship is a recipe for disaster.
You had me at Tirpitz
How would they add in the Yamamoto?
I'd gladly dump $120 on the Yamato.... Saves me dumping $120 on 2 so called "AAA titles", finding they're a pile of dung and going back to Wow. $1/hr for playing 120hrs of a game I enjoy playing, I don't find that expensive at all... But I must have more of a disposal income
So the Tirpitz is a tier 7 premium. Granted it’s “free” with admiralty backing which I assume they will have another free event to earn. So I would bet at this point Yamato will be the same way. Tier 7 premium as a prize at the end of an event.
For what it’s worth.
The prices for these premium ships is outrageous
