Will German battleship Odin come back?

[TimurGlazkov]

I'm aware none of the Dockyard event's warship have been made available again; but what are everyone's thought on Odin? How long do you guys think WarGaming would take to get her back in the Armoury/Premium shop? For Odin's user out there, how does Odin perform after the commander rework, and what differentiate her from Scharnhorst and Pommern? (ignoring disparity caused by Tiers)

well they almost made me ragequit 1vs1 brawl a few times in a mass. Based on that and the way ships at that level are going away, i'd expect only in very short window events and then only as random drops.

odin is basically trash outside of 1v1s and 3v3s, she gave up way too much for her secondaries and torps

Odin is excellent, one of my favourite BB's.  I quite like low calibre BB's though.

As to if or when she'll come back, well nobody knows of course.  They have yet to bring a dockyard ship back, and there have been quite a few of them now.  I think their thought process on this is that if players think they won't have an opportunity to get the ship again, they are far more likely to spend money and grind through dockyard events.  If players think they can just wait and get the ships later in an easier way, that they will be more likely to skip the event.  They're trying to create a fear of missing out.  As soon as they start bringing dockyard ships back then the FOMO diminishes.

Having said that, I don't think that means they will never bring the ships back.  If they think that they can earn more money from bringing them back than they will lose from doing so, then we'll probably see them again.  It wouldn't surprise me if we saw PR at the end of this year, about two years after her dockyard release.  That's a sufficient time that it shouldn't impinge too much on the FOMO they are trying to encourage. 

All this is complete supposition on my part.  There is a possibility they will never ever come back, although I think that is unlikely, given that WG have shown that they will do whatever they think is appropriate for their business at the time, regardless of precedents.
