Buffalo will very likely get them because they were planned. Pensacola, will it get its torpedo-launchers (or any other cruisers)?ĪFAIK, the launchers are added where they were historically used (only amiable, not the fixed hull-launched). They’re treated as a separate entity, not interconnected with the techtree line. Currently, they regard the US premium cruisers to work just fine. I don’t think they will affect the Premiums at all since they’re not waiting until a line-rework to rebalance premium ships if needed. How will the US cruiser split affect the Premium ships? It’s way more difficult than opening an XML-file and add 2 lines of code, sometimes even requiring a substantial change of the architecture (like changing the consumable hotkeys). UI-guys have a lot to do, so it’s not high on the priority list. They’re not sure there will be 5 consumables at T10, so not sure if the UI mechanics will be revamped for that reason. Keybinding, can there be a uniform keybinding? The recent buffs to the ships will be reverted to a degree, and their HP-pool will decrease to make them fit in their new down tiered position. Very likely, the Baltimore will not keep it’s healing, N-O won’t keep it’s radar if it depends on Sub, but it will need testing. Only the final testing can decide that with 100% probability. Will the ships keep their gimmicks (Baltimore heal, N-O radar,…)? Buffalo seems logical, and is based on the Baltimore, and fits perfectly at T9. The US-cruisers could use some love, and sometimes it’s easier & more logical to down tier a ship than to try to (artificially) buff the ship to make them work at the current tier. Why down tier US cruisers after all the recent buffs / what is the rationale of downgrading Baltimore to T8, and adding Buffalo? Massive thanks to MrFingersEU for transcripting the EU Q&A with Lordofdroid, MrConway, Crysantos and Sub_Octavian.
