So is Belfast 43 balanced or kneecapped? I'm still a little unsure. Belfast 43 is just the wrong ship at the wrong time for me, and while I'd be quite happy to get either one of them in a supercontainer or a raffle, I'm not sure I want to put down money for what they offer. Worse, if what I was looking for was a British cruiser with HE shells in her main-gun ammunition racks, I now have an entire tech tree line for that - and worse, an obtained-for-free premium with a smoke generator (London). Yes, the weapons and the radar have different parameters, and the Black is set up to perform a very different role, but it's still the same basic conceptual package. If I want to play a ship with smoke, radar, HE in her main guns and torpedoes, I already have the Black. Unfortunately, that's not enough for me to want to buy her. As it is, what they have created is something conceptually different (thanks to the changed smoke and the addition of torpedoes) while still offering the name to someone who wants that historical (and still-existing) ship in their port. She's kneecapped if what you expected/hoped for was a direct uptiering of the original to put her in an arguably more appropriate matchmaking bracket. I don't own either, but my gut feeling is "balanced".
