World of Warships — Steam-chan Starter Pack DLC

Anime girls on My Aircraft Carriers RAHHH.

Great pack! Here's hoping for the release of all three Steam-chans in a bundle next year! ~-~°(^v~)°v~-~

If you get this package, when you can select your tier 4 ship, take the Hermes carrier, it's worth the most credits to sell. The price tag for this package though: WAY HIGH. Tier 2 premium ship with no special permanent camo, and 6-point commander are the key features. I think the package should include the unique Combat Veteran camouflage for the tier 2 Albany, that might justify this price. But again, the camo adds nothing but cosmetic appearance. It would, however, add to the uniqueness of getting this package, if it included that unique camo for the ship (the companies won't lose any money, because there is no other option to buy that camo). I only recently started playing, so was not here when the Steam patches and icons were able to be earned, so yeah, whatever on those. Cosmetic only. Most players won't play tier 2 very long anyway, and Albany, and its Pan American twin Alte Abreu, do not appear to be the most impressive ships at tier 2, so there's that. I got it just for the sake of having it, and being a newer player, the extra economic boosters and signal flags are useful to move up ranks for other ships, faster. Also for the price, it wouldn't kill their profit margin if they would've given 1, 2, or 3 days of premium time with it, too. The odd part about the Albany, its secondary guns are smaller caliber than its main guns, but the secondary guns fire slower. Literally every other cruiser in the game with secondary guns a smaller caliber than the main guns, the secondary guns fire faster: it makes sense: smaller caliber guns have lighter shells the gun crews would load faster. This ship seems to almost be a forgotten travesty of how NOT to put a ship in the game. Sure, get it for your collection, for historic nostalgia, and the commander. But doubtful you'll play it much. It just feels kinda broken with the secondary guns firing slower. Again, like everything else, NEVER buy it at its full price shown: only buy these when there's a sale discount.
