Viridem Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 After that extremely grindy and underwhelming event, WG added Tsurugi in the armory, but there's a catch... It costs 19 300 doubloons and will only be available for 5 days! I can't tell if you can use the 25% coupon on it, as it appears on EU only tomorrow, apparently. But I bet you can't... I suppose she didn't sell well when they first added her to the game, so they double down on predatory tactics, rather then making a good and interesting ship for a fair price... I fell for it and bought Minegumo like a sucker, in February, although I really like the ship. But this time? No thanks... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf_Ace Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) I got it in a event, very squishy armor. Guns are good but not many of them. And since you meet tier 10 and SS its not that good. Would recommend it only to japanese fan boys. Feels a bit like Georgia with bad armor. Torps are nice addition if you hit.

I checked my Armory, and it looks like you cannot. Though this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. 5 minutes ago, Wulf_Ace said: I got it in a event, very squishy armor.

Torps are nice addition if you hit. Even if you do really like IJN BBs, if you have like Daisen or something, it's overall better aside from not having overmatch. Tsurugi would have to play very furtively, cause her citadel is just that vulnerable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES_HoundDog Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 oh wow! just looked at the armor layout. I think the mino just lost the crown of most explodable. Even with the long range hit very little torps... with 6 guns, how is this tier 9? Does it have 2.5 sig? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camo does look really nice, but honestly I'm not super interested to get her right now, since my only options atm are 'limited run no coupon full price purchase' and 'grind your life away to still lose to people who are probably botting to get all that BXP for a discount'... And she's a very fringe ship who is overshadowed by Daisen for actual utility (and ability to deal with other BBs). Eventually I'll get Tsurugi perhaps, but it won't be this time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very stealthy, very fast, and vulnerable citadel is putting it lightly. Heavy cruisers can easily citadel you if you get too close. Yes I found that out the painful way my first game in it during testing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish WG would use this opportunity to start banning these guys, but i won't hold my breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yedwy Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Having a Musashi I have 0 interest in her same as when she was offered first time round, if she was say RP or Coal maybe one day when I am left without better choices but for cash, no way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbow Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 ...but I have the Yamato (with Unique Upgrade) and the Musashi. Yamamoto at 21 points for both legendary battleships. I can continue playing without the Tsurugi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnirf Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I have bought 1 ship of the T9 KXIVJ for doubloons. the price for a T9 is too high considering I have nearly all ships. KXIVJ I bought despite that the ship is a bad not at all realistic design just because I am from Sweden so just had to. But the others have been for the free resource or in the Santas as I catch up then usually. Will do the same for Tsurugi or I just abstain.

Itwastuesday Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Seems like a worse IJN Georgia. And I didn't care about Georgia back when it was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Karasu Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The coupon likely won't be usable. That's usually the case with all the temporarily available offers. You only get to use the coupon if the ship returns at a later point to be part of the regular selection available for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleksi111 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Nonono, I agree, Georgia is definetively the worst T9 battleship evar! Inherently "underpowered" and night unplayable It needs so many majof buffs Faster reload to offset less guns Better turret traverse Improved secondary pen & accuracy & RoF to offset low main gun DPM Utility, Hydro would be nice!!!! Faster rudder Oh, and let's not go into details with the survivability: TLDR- buffs [Sarcams] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I found that out the painful way my first game in it during testing. I spoke too soon in my prior post here - ended up getting it afterall due to the bday coupon with some doubloons left over (got her on a discount without the dumb WG contest), which I had forgotten I'd be having in Tsurugi's availability window. But hey now I can be devstruck in style. Still an incredibly dumb ship though. Asashio deepwaters with 6 457s, very fast and stealthy, and a citadel that makes you think of WoWs release era Iowa (aka absolutely bad in this era). The first time I saw one I devstruck it with Minnesota that I was grinding through at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
