World of Warships - First Look: Tier VIII Premium British Cruiser HMS Belfast '43
114Here's our First Look at Tier VIII Premium British cruiser HMS Belfast '43. Physically she is not radically different from her tech tree cousin HMS Edinburgh, but her consumables are different enough that she offers a variation in play. Whether that is good or bad is a matter of opinion, but it's good to see Wargaming bringing this iconic ship back to the game in a form she can be sold once more.
