[2019] So if WG can justify boosted speeds for Sub gameplay, can we...

We will play with ship parameters outside their historical scaling to influence balance one way or another if a ship is over or under performing, speed is one of those parameters.Using submarines as a basis point, should be taken with a grain of salt considering they are in the early development and balance stages and extremely subjective to change.

Currently the New Mex and Colorado, while they are slow, have other qualities which make up for these deficiencies and keep the ship in a balanced state against the other ships in the tier.

In regards to premiums: we currently have 3 previously released USN Premium BBs in T5-7 bracket: Texas, Arizona, and W.Virginia 41', with the T7 California currently being developed.

In comparison to other nations (excluding duplicate ships such as ARP):

IJN: 2


RU: 1 (+1 being developed)


RN: 4


KM: 2


IT: 1


FR: 1


EU: 1

So USA is well represented in premium ships for BBs in comparison to other nations.

Fem,

Considering the ARP collab ended a long time ago, we will probably not look at these ships again unless we went for round 2 of the Collab.

Even then, I'm not sure we'd change the ships current configuration.

Fem,
