PR3 incoming, I'm excited.

Edit: Just noticed she's Decisive Rarity

The blueprint grind continues...

5 ships announced (instead of the usual 6):
Odin, Drake, Mainz, Champagne, Cheshire

No USN or IJN this time. And surprisingly, no Soviet or Italian either.

I haven't even completed the PR2 blueprint grind for Azumama and Fried.

The 6th will be revealed later due to art issues, it's suspected to be IJN.

Odin's definitely gonna be my first priority, unless the unrevealed 6th ship is amazing looking.

…..Maybe she'll be one of the new muricin BBs. Considering they broke the 1 t8 bb pattern HARD im not sure what to expect anymore aside from it still (probably) being in the t8/9 never built spread.

Also do remember we have yet to receive voice lines and as a result know there personalities. I know it generally follows appearance but then you got poor girls like Bremerton......

Was this officially confirmed? Can't understand big portion of the stream.

If you mean the 6th ship being IJN, it's based on leaked info, which I unfortunately have only heard about secondhand and don't have many details on.

So no Riga, Stalingrad, Kremlin, Slava, Petropavlovsk, Moskva, Alexander Nevsky, Khabarovsk and Kronshtadt?

when will the russian bias arrive, yostar?

No Soviets or Italians is a disappointment. Champagne was also probably the BB I had the least interest in seeing.

If it were me I'd have replaced Champagne and either Mainz or Cheshire with Tallinn and Brindisi.

Edit: In retrospect, I'd definitely keep Mainz, because she and Tallinn are sister ships. Or perhaps alt-universe versions of each other. Since Tallinn is Lützow had she been completed with Soviet equipment, and Mainz is either Lützow or Seydlitz had they been built to the original design concept instead of altered to exact copies of Prinz Eugen.

Better to ask the developers, Manjuu, not the publisher.

Interesting that there's apparently a leaked 6th ship. I'd expect them to provide a teaser or say something about it during the stream if all they're waiting for is the artwork. It's possible this 6th PR ship was planned to be part of PR3, but the delays might move her to be part of PR4 instead?

That doesn't seem likely, PR sets come out like once a year, we don't even know for sure what delayed her, unless it's something like what happened with Maryland and co. then I can't imagine they would just cut her entirely from the current set to be released 6 months to a year later.

I instantly liked her

Gonna build her first

Plus...those PR3 will be released on my birthday, so yay

correct me if wrong Drake's artist seems to be Hao, Odin is RAN, Mainz seems to be liduke

Definitely not Hao; I can't see the Enty-face resemblance. That being said, I suspect Drake's artist to be Soaryuna, the same artist that did Rossiya and Hibiki.

Possible, not sure who tagged it Elpx but while also believable there's nary a thing on the CN wiki about her artist. And there's nothing on Elpx's twitter that suggests he did it.

On the Chinese wiki, she's now listed as being drawn by the "Manjuu Art Group" along with Big Fred and the Muse Versions of Hipper, Gascogne, Akagi, Cleveland, and Sheffield. I'm assuming this means they were essentially collaborative works and the credit belongs to the Manjuu's in-house art team as a whole? Should we make such a tag?
