This is a copy pasta from the US general forums, thought it might be good news and sad news for many 😉

Hello, Captains,

 We'd like to clarify the situation with USS Black.  Recently we issued a couple of contradicting replies regarding the future of this ship, and it created the impression that she would not be sold for coal as initially planned.  This happened due to a simple human error, and we apologize for misinforming you.  Here is our current plan on USS Black:

• We're going to incrementally address her balance, as she is currently too strong, even considering the average skill of her owners;
• When it's done we're going to make her available for purchase for coal;

 Her balancing process will definitely take time, as we always try to apply incremental changes to the released ships. However, our intention is to make her available, and you will be able to follow the further updates on this process in Development Blog.

 Thank you for your attention and patience!

Nerf then sell to the general public.
Then also lose it's symbol and badge for hard work/skill and dedication.

That's the crappy part (not the fact that special ships can be nerfed, we've always know that).

Though, in the case of the Black, it was more about skill than hard work and dedication, because you no matter how hard you might have tried, or how long, it only mattered if you were good enough to reach rank 1 five times. Hard work and dedication would have applied to the steel version, of course.

This also demonstrates that there's always a risk attached to steel ship purchases. The same applies to coal etc, but since the currency itself is less valuable in relative terms, the risk is lesser.

It's telling how vastly different people here compared to NA.

The NA thread is full of people screeching and howling how it's "unfair" for WG to change their broken ship.

This just proves that a lot of WoWS players are ignorant of the fact that other more successful games buff and nerf their units anytime, no matter the method of acquisition is.

Good. High time WG tries to balance her.
