Ship Discussion: USS Salem

[Mobius]

Posted on the RU devblog and quickly deleted. Probably next ranked reward.

A Des Moines as Ranked reward? Uhhh... why not, but, then again, why? Clan battles have a T10 Stalingrad, and Ranked has a T10 clone?

[Mobius]

I mean, why not? Both Flint and Black were sister ships as well. And T10 seems like a logical continuation since Flint was T7 and Black T9.

I remembre long ago this thing was data mined, and we had all but forgotten about it. My guess at the time was Salem would be a Halloween Event ship that we'd have to fight.

WG EU has posted the ship stat card on the forum.

Ah yes a clone of the secret T10 monster, now most likely going to be in the hands of the most skilled players.

At least, she was until hindenburg became the obvious monster.

If this is a ranked reward....non-usn ranked reward when?

[Mobius]

@DLRevan I don't think it's a secret for anyone that DesMeme is a monster though :p

[Keyan_TTK]

A monster which has to hide behind islands in order to avoid being deleted by Battleships though.

[DLRevan]

@Mobius Technically speaking, every T10 cruiser is a monster. Except Henri IV. Though only because French cruisers are......different.

WoWS' devblog has published USS Salem's data (again). No changes with the data published earlier in the Russian devblog.
