Not being rude, just making a point. If it's not in the news it means no one knows (usually). Here's a link! Good for a bookmark. You can also get up to date info on testing on the Facebook World of Warships Devblog.

9 April.

JB is being removed from the Armory and the Shop. Smolensk is being removed from the Armory. Both will be added to the list of "Rare ships" to market loot boxes.

Or they could have nerfed Smolensk at any time over the last six months, but no...

Smol already underperforms. Plus they have a policy of not nerfing premiums.

I would disagree. No one would spend real money on premium ships if they could be nerfed later. And some countries have laws against that anyway I think? Not 100% on that.

Smolensk is a bit different as you can't buy it with real money I think... Nevertheless if they nerfed it, there would be another fiasco like the Puerto Rico event and people would quit over it. Since it's already under-performing it can't hardly be nerfed anyway. My personal opinion is WG is just removing it because people hate it since they didn't list reasons like they did with the others.

People spend money on things that get nerfed all the time. Fighters have DLC characters, for example, and they're subject to balance changes just as any other character. Nobody bats an eyelash. Same goes for characters in other competitive games, such as MOBAs.

The fact that WoWs is in a position where they're selling ships that may be unbalanced and they're immune to balance changes is one of the reasons that WoWs could never be seriously considered for a competitive scene. Some units are just outright superior, and not everyone has access to them, and they're particularly ones that were sold for cash.

Also, it's technically a digital good you're purchasing a license to use, under the terms and conditions laid out before any purchase is made or the game is even started. EULAs can be total bunk legally, sure, particularly those that are displayed to the user after money has already exchanged hands, but free to play games obviously don't have that backwards order.

As far as Smol is concerned. She's a "special" ship rather than a premium ship. This designation is pretty much applied to T10 reward ships. They are, in theory, subject to nerfs, but I've never heard of such a thing happening.

Smol is officially being removed due to popularity. Same goes for Jean Bart.
