To those who don't like the idea of USN ships appearing in the game, why not just quit and give other people your accounts. I'm sure they would be able to appreciate USN ships more than you will.

Remember, Tanaka announced that he "would like to" introduce Allied ships way before all these political things could intervene, even before anime was announced. It was so long ago that many consider the announcement no longer valid. 68.191.49.101 wrote:

Now, Tanaka did say he wanted to implement American, British, and French way back when the game was still in its infancy, so he really as no obligation to follow through. So either he really loves his craft and doesn't care what anyone else thinks of it or because this might be the right time to inject the game with somthing that would stir up emotions not seen since the AL/MI event.    Tanaka's always been slow, but he always fulfills his promises in the end. Fusou-class kai 2 took a year after they were announced. Akitsushima finally came out in 2015 after being announced in late 2013. Shinano will probably come out in 2018 or something.

As for the secound paragraph, well, forigners arn't the target audience, never have and never will. Guess Kadokawa and Tanaka believe Japan is ready for Allies now. I'm guessing this is both a means to introduce new equipment since the game as been really burning through the Axis tech, and to stirr up interest as more and more competition like Granblue Fantasy are starting to challenge KanColle's dominance in the web browser game market. Granblue Fantasy isn't a browser game.

Everyone gets what they want just like that, become bored and then quit. And god knows if they try to nerf them they'd be hounded by Allied fags and historical nuts because "muh historical inaccuracy." Seriously, adding USN kanmusus will be a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. This was a bad move imo. CI setups are already almost necessary to clear the harder events. All that would happen at most is that we have a reduced need for Maruyu. And that's if the USN ships don't have a much lower torp stat than their IJN counterparts since American torps were much worse than Japanese torps.
