Stop giving us ships

Thank god. An event I can skip. I hate back to back event grinds

Come on, stop connecting everything to 1933-1945. Give him his hat ! All that fuzz is just done to german pfp because some players could have connotations. By the way the big Reichskriegsflagge on Tiger Ost is ok but the skull on von Mackensens hat could be problematic ?

still no Italian Bluewater event vehicle

Ship event kinda meh but the profile icon is aura, also why couldn’t it be a picture of him with his cool hat

Looks suspiciously like this thing I never use:

You’re not helping naval adding event vehicles that are similar (even if their class differs like with the Mackensen here - it’s still mostly copy paste in design) to previous event ships or even tech-tree ships. Add some wonky stuff, add some quirky stuff. Getting people to battlecruisers and battleships via events is not going to help add players to top-tier naval. They’ll jump in that ship, get donked and then go back to air or ground. You should be aiming to add event ships aimed at those that already value naval.

Edit: I’ll still do the event, in these two bad boys, of course:

Spoiler


Red Banner on T34-85. Definitely does not have negative connotations for some players. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
They only care about negative connotations if it’s central powers or axis.

Sounds like double standards to me ;), but we won´t stop telling them and putting their nose on it.

Mackensen is a unique ship to the game. It shares nothing in common with baden except for nation and timeframe

It is a different class, but hardly unique. Just another German battlecruiser.

gonna buy this one at 15 gjn and hodl

gonna sell it for 60 gyjn next year

Every content in this event feels so nice. The decal with the classic painting style, the vessel and its camouflage, the flag and even the profile picture avatar is awesome. It seems to be a great event to take part of, hopefully we can also have similar rewards for the ground vehicle event with a iconic figure related to the vehicle.

Do we know the rate of fire of these guns? 350mm… those are brand new!!!

With all the decompression there’s being in Naval, WW1 Battleships are becoming increasingly interesting- specially given the mess Top Tier is under Soyuz’s rule…

I’m also wondering; will it be 6.7, or 7.0?

SMS Kaiser do have 305 mm cannons, it’s 3 rounds per minute. I think you can consider around this much to reload and fire. Unless is faster or slower for balancing reasons.

Mackensen has 350mm guns, not 305

Oh, yes. My fault I misunderstood. I looked the USS Nevada with 14 in cannons translating to ~355 mm, it should be around 1.6 or 1.5 rounds per minute on a 350 mm cannon.

Not necessarily; Bayern-class’ 380s reload in 26 seconds, for example.

American Standard BB reloads are just deeply gimped, hahah.

So I wonder whether these 350s will be 26 seconds, or maybe 24, as a middle ground between the German 305s and their 380s of that era.

effectively ~10k LESS due to the 1.9 x score naval multiplier
