A Decal and Discount on British Ships for the Battle of Trafalgar Anniversary!

The constant AI inquisition of these days is honestly tiring.

If there’s a flaw: “It has a mistake, so it must obviously be AI!”

If there are no flaws: “It’s too perfect to be human-made, so it’s AI!”

The reasoning or evidence doesn’t matter; if someone wants to see AI, they will see AI.

In this case, the artist simply used an inaccurate reference, which has happened for decades long before AI even existed. Not every single mistake in art is AI…

That’s why the discount is 30%: these vehicles are not normally available in the game. The 50% discount for the anniversary celebration applies only to premium vehicles that are normally available in the game.

Sales of brit vessels might be lmao. Literally no reaction to post was found on CIS-part of forum (most likely, nobody plays brit naval there) so i came here and immediately wanted to go and buy some popcorn.

Fairmille won’t be available during GE sales, the others are weird though

Absolute food for Pr. 1124. Even for S-boots, sorry.

Only the Fairmille, the Belfast and Iron Duke are both permament premiums currently so will be on 50% sale too I imagine.

Kinda funny really because I’ve unlocked every naval tree and the Brits are imo the easiest thought the tree to play.

You’re right, I only looked at the first premium vehicle without checking the rest. My mistake.

Idk. I just don’t play Britain at all. Usually naval in RU-sector is either like whole naval or IT/RU/JP TTs

Talking about the Belfast and Iron Duke specifically

Yeah Britain have the most accurate guns and consistent damage through (except KGV) and the armour/survivability are the best designs with the below water magazines and engine spaces and no ammo in the turrets they are the hardest to magazine detonate. You usually have to force sinking or kill all the crew which is lower then just shooting turrets and detonating just about everyone else.

noted, im just commenting on the availability of it

So these wont be in sale during Anniversary sale that will happen in two weeks?

If I buy them now and they will be, I will be pissed. If I wait and they wont be, I will be pissed.

Hi! As Stona has shown already, the decal is based on a real life reference. I can reassure you that the issues are not from the use of AI.

I want to be transparent here: As a Brit myself who saw it before it was published, the issues on the original were noticed, but we wanted to keep it close to the original reference (for historical purposes), despite it not being fully correct.

However, in hindsight, it was a poor, non historical reference and was a mistake to do it this way. So, we’ve now fixed the flag and Nelson’s quote, it appears much better now:

We’ll be sure to keep this in mind in the future when creating decals based on real life references so that we can avoid a similar issue. Thanks to everyone for your feedback on this.

In which case - apologies for the AI accusation.

Strange that irl RN capital ships were often lost to magazine detonations. Quite some come in mind. Thats typical WT.

IRL most capital ships suffered magazine detonations of one kind or another when subjected to enough damage. Combine that with the fact that the Royal Navy often had the most ships to begin with, engaged in battles all around the world and the flawed perception is understandable.

HMS Hood and HMS Barham were the two ‘big ones’ in WW2 and both being WW1 designs. WW1 losses among the Battlecruiser squadron was more a function of crew practices than actual design issues.

That looks great, thank you and well done! Will get it fo sure
