We have previously stated we will not be making individual changes to premium ships after their release and that they would only be impacted by game wide mechanics changes.
The release of a new line, does not constitute this. The existing IT premiums are balanced according to these features including their HE armament. While IFHE is not appropriate for the incoming IT CA line, that does not mean these commanders are useless as they are still efficient on the Cruisers they were originally trained on.
Given these facts, there is not grounds for compensation in this case.
Regarding the battle viability of the existing IT Premiums, as with all ships, we will keep an eye on their battle performance and stats and if changes need to be made we will address it at that time.
