Battle pass vehicles: HMS Gay Archer

I might read these dev blogs when I cant fall asleep #navalmoment

You had both Gay Bruiser and Gay Cavalier as name options and you left them on the table in favor of “Archer”? Smh

Wait are we really getting this modeled off the modern semi restoration which substitutes components the owner couldn’t find rather than the actual ship when it was in service?

Finally some boats for real men

[Favnirbane]

Now thats a weird choice

[hypilot]

Didn’t they do this with the HDML too?

[Morvran]

Im rather glad this is just another Torp boat. Would drive me nuts if they added something really good for a BP. I can never be bothered with them,

[MJPIA]

So if this is based entirely off a modern day pseudo restoration built from what the owner could find with different torpedo tubes, Bofors, Oerlikons and radar is this opening up other museum build vehicles where they combine multiple vehicles to make one vehicle?



Does that also mean its getting the Man V12’s which the owner replaced the Packards with alongside the rest of the drivetrain that was completely replaced?

HMS Gay Archer is completely historically incorrect

It’s just like that other British coastal fleet boat, ML 1383 was it? I believe this one was modeled after the civilian refit too. I much prefer ships be modeled after their wartime refit. Also I love the 4.5 inch gun, I think Gay Archer would be really fun with the 40mm and 4.5 inch gun combo.

bug reported it and broken down all the things wrong with it, hopefully we get a dev response :)

Bug reported it, give it a gander if you want to get it fixed :)

Nothing new here though, this is the second british ship they have added based soley off the museum ship that is not a good representation of the class at all due to large numbers of modifications

They seem to have massively mismodelled ML 1383

Today I ground out and spaded the ML 1383, that was added in the recent update, and there seems to be a myriad of mistakes in the model. The first and most pressing one seeming to be that they modelled the ship based on the still extant sister ship of the same class ML 1387, also known as HMS medusa. The reason I say this is there are several features of it that where not present of ships of its class during service, and were specifically added to ML 1387 in the post war period by its civilian o…

Why don’t they add more rewards in the battlepass?
After level 125 and before there are only warbons plus bonuses for the next battlepass.

At level 140 or 150 a box that randomly when you open it can give you a vehicle from the previous battlepass since they came out, to at least have a higher reward in the case of reaching such a level.

this boat is a battle pass vehicle - for the new season which starts next week.

[ptrthgr8]

Yes, I know. The joke, based upon the image included in the post to which I responded, clearly went over your head.
