Just because you have purchased a ship, you should not have native benefits over a tech-tree ship. We are interested in keeping balance maintained for both our paying players and our free-to-play players. No ship will ever be immune to balancing. In December of 2017, GC was available as a reward in the Santa crates and was also given out as a returning gift to returning players whose accounts had been inactive for a set period of time. November 29th, 2017: With the above statistics and community reaction above in mind, barely a month after the GC's release, WG inexplicably buffed the GC, increasing the torpedo damage reduction from 19% to 30%. My analysis there showed that it was definitely in the same OP territory as the Nikolai and KA I myself did a stats analysis against the other 2 BB's that were removed for being overpowered, the Nikolai and the Konig Albert, only a month after the GC's release. Very soon after the GC's release, it is recognized by the player base as being an extremely powerful ship: I cannot find any further mention of tweaks to it before it is released on October 20th, 2017, LWM's Gudbote review here: October 2nd, 2017: WG thinking they perhaps nerfed the GC's accuracy too much overall, tweaks the sigma from 1.5 to 1.9 to help it out It gets its dispersion nerfed greatly, from 138m to 226m, about 63% greater dispersion.

September 27th, 2017: WG adjusts/nerfs the ship for another round in ST in recognition of its strong performance.

Īfter being added to ST, many CC's recognize that the ship is extremely strong (likely OP) as it performs extremely well in ST. Similar to my previous post detailing all the buffs that I could find for premium ships in the past, it is meant to inform the player base and give them concrete facts, rather than recollections and assumptions.Īugust 29th, 2017: Giulio Cesare is announced as being added to ST. In interest of detailing the entire history of this ship to the best of my ability, I decided to make a post dedicated to that.
