But will the people with the Cleveland keep it and also get the Pensacola?
I have Cleveland, Baltimore and Des Moines in my line, following the logic of the Russian and Japanese destroyers, which ships will I earn for free with this change?
Thats usually what happens. I dont expect that to change.
So someone answer me this: the USS Buffalo historically had 152 mm guns.. how does that fit in the Heavy Cruiser branch? Did they accidentally switch the Buffalo and the Seattle in the picture? Because as of right now, we have no stats on the USS Seattle(which only existed as a Tennessee cl*** armored cruiser, which obviously isn’t the one at T9). Also what ever happened to the USS Wichita? I thought they were adding that. Possible premium??
Well, the Buffalo was in the game a while back with the 203’s, so there should not be a problem in it’s place on the line except maybe the torpedoes…
So the Buffalo returns! At last!
After the split you should end up with Tier VI Pensacola and Dallas, Tier VIII Baltimore and Cleveland, Tier IX Buffalo and Seattle, Tier X Des Moines and Worcester.
Also if you don’t already have permacamo for your Cleveland, buying it before the split would be a good idea since that gets you a Tier VIII permacamo for the Tier VI price of 1000 doubloons.
Wrong. You will end up with tier 6 Pensacola, Tier 8 Baltimore and Cleveland, tier 9 Buffalo and tier 10 Des Moines.
what about for Indianapolis?
So the Cleveland will also need a buff ? longer range for a start
Its moving to Tier VIII, so it’s getting rebalanced.
