Battles in this mode will involve only ships that were actually built and their analogues. One of the teams will comprise only Axis ships, and the other one will only have Allied ships.

Teams will be formed based on the ships of certain nations:

• Axis: German, Italian, and Japanese ships.
• Allies: American, Soviet, French, British, Pan-Asian, and European ships.

The battles are held playing Tier VIII ships in a 8 vs. 8 format.

Dockyard Price Inflation. (Some players have predicted this.)

From 1,950 doub, now 2,200 doub.

 

Though they now have 22 phases instead of 26.

And F2P players can only complete 19 of the 22 phases.

WG should have at least made it 20 of the 22 phases.

Removed certain hull modules from VIII Mogami, V König, VI Ryūjō, V Furutaka, VII Myōkō, IX Izumo, IX Iowa, V Omaha. This change allows for simpler progress through the Tech Tree.

Stock hulls of V Émile Bertin, V New York, VI New Mexico, VII Colorado, VIII North Carolina, VI Bayern, VI Ranger, IX Fletcher, VII Minsk, VIII Kiev, VIII Ognevoi, IX Tashkent, and IX Udaloi were replaced with new ones created based on the researchable hulls with a changed set of AA defenses.

The details of the hull module change will be announced later.

 

On one hand, this is great for new players as they will be requiring less time and effort to grind.

On the other hand, WG's further attempt to beg players to use the Rubbish Burnheap.

[LawrenceXVIII]

No.

[IJN_Katori]

Another stupidity is that. 

 

 

Sweden fought on both sides.

 

 

[IJN_Katori]

As for hull changes. Rest in peace Furutaka pyramid. You will be missed.

[LawrenceXVIII]

This is what i feel like they done the Allied vs Axis .

101% expect this to be like Asymmetrical Battle, one Update thing then got shelved for who knows how long, and has yet been talked about again. How long has it been since after 0.9.8? Half a year already?

*clone premiums intensify*

[THAI_THIEF]

Let me conclude

THOSE WHO HAVE 3 HULLS WILL REDUCED BY ONE 

Exmaple  Iowa had  hullA/B and C  with new 10.3 Iowa hull B will become stock hull CORRECT?

Lemme get this straight:

Allies have exclusive access to: 
1) radar
2) 406 mm BB shells for overmatching 27 mm armour

3) Anti air (such that it is in 2021)

4) long duration smokes

5) High speed dds

6) dds with heal

axis gets what ?

Exactly.

[DDayCobra]

The heck, why are the ARP ships still in that list? Are they historical now? Might as well consider Space Battleship Yamato to be historical as well if that's the case...

Wait a minute, Graf Zepplelin was launched but never completed right? WG suddenly add her?

 

She was also not mentioned in the dev blog.

[Mr_Good_Citizen]

I don't care what all you naysayers say, cos I'm excited to play this.

But I guess you guys are excited too-

Excited to hope WG fails.

Honestly, Idk why some of you guys play this game. All you do is diss out on it, and criticize every announcement. I guess the fun for you is being in the 'hate WG' club.

 

 

I'm optimistic. If there are issues, I'm sure they will be sorted out.

Well for a game that revolves heavily around the PvP stuffs, any kind of unfair treatment (in the form of game's balance) is simply unpleasant to have. For those who only play the PvE stuffs like Co-op, and Scenario; they will never experience any effect of the imbalance between the ships that exists in the game. All they ever face against is just a bunch of bots that move in a predictable manner.

Let me remind you this mode is PvP. You will only face against the enemies that actually know what they're doing. It might be easy to destroy a bot-controlled DD in Co-op because it always shoots it's guns once there's something in range. But a player-controlled DD will most likely keep their guns silent in order to remain stealthy as it approaches the target. Because stealth is the only form of defense a DD has. That's ironically also why there are a lot of hate to CV & radar because both of those things actually nullify the stealth that the DD has. And when you look at the list of ships that are eligible on the mode, you'll see that one side has all the superiority needed to win while the other doesn't. That's what we have been talking about.

As for why many of us are still playing the game despite our opposition on WG's decisions; that's mainly because there's still no better alternative game of this genre. Although I have been on & off from the game constantly nowadays. I sat out the Italian event entirely even though I had all the time & resources needed to complete the grind.

But of course, you do you. It's up to each player whether they play that mode or not. But the old farts here have seen what kind of mess that could happen there. Much like the skill rework which is supposed to create more diversity, but it isn't happening.

If you really believe that we only criticize, well, believing doesn't make something becoming true. Also, we ain't the Cult of Flamuu.

It isn't like WG have been doing themselves any favor by adding greedier and greedier content over the years.

 

It'd be better if it's an Operation. I play a game for gameplay, and it's just normal to expect bad gameplay to be... bad.

If it was Axis vs Allies 1v1, the Axis would have the advantage.

But in team mode, the Allies have too much advantage.

Not entirely true. Weebs are parts of the Yamamoto cult.
