If it's working like the Project R, you don't have to claim your stuff immediately or even before the event finishes. In Project R I activated the Premium day I got AFTER the event had finished. I'm going to do the same here, since Katori (my only goal actually) seems to be bad, and wait to know the final surprise. Then I'll make my decision.

Consider yourself lucky. Planes shouldn't be allowed to fly in such weather.

Right now there's also a discount on port slots, so Atlanta+port slot built in the game costs 6450 doubloons, or 23.89€ right now. Price in the premium shop of the same package with discount is 24.40€. Atago+slot right now costs 9245 doubloons in the game (33.31€), while price in the Premium shop of the same pack is 33.81€. Discounts in the ingame tech tree are exactly 30% for Atlanta and 15% for Atago. I suggest you to recheck your numbers.

A nice game I had last night with New York, the tier 5 US Battleship. It was my first game in NY with a completely developed ship and a fully retrained captain. http://wowreplays.com/Replay/5349-JapLance-New-York-Two-Brothers Probably pointless because it will be all tier 10 games replays, but...

Aoba spread big?

My personal best is 12 in a row.

I wouldn't expect nothing less than a tier 5, just like the Kamikaze R. The thing is... in Project R you had to reach a certain number of pearls to get the final prize, but this time nothing has been said about a number. Anyway I don't see WG giving away a ship to everybody who signed up for the event if the 12M diamonds are reached.

Wow, it only took them 11 months

I find it a bit strange that they only last for a minute at the start of the game. And also that most of the games have rain at the start. Should be less frequent Cyclone in North... I crapped my pants twice last night. First when in my Myoko suddenly I saw the blurred form of an unexpected Warspite coming out of nowhere... Thank god he had HE loaded and I had two friendly North Carolinas behind me . The second time was when in my Murmansk I was chasing an enemy DD that had been harassing our fleet and yet again an unexpected Nagato appeared. But this time I had torps ready to launch, so the Nagato had to maneuver and couldn't train its guns on me. Hit Nagato with one torp... and sunk the elusive destroyer with another . My torpedo hit, my rain of HE shells and the close-following ships finished the Nagato.

That would be a tad unfair for us the "plebs" that don't use premium account. I had a 2500+XP game with Myoko, but it was counting the x1.5 of the first victory of the day. Of course, it didn't validate.

That "2500XP in a cruiser" mission is going to be hard, and definitely impossible for 75% of the players. Of course I had one of those games last weekend, so I don't expect to have a similar one until 2018 or so,

This is in general harder than Project R, but the Kamikaze missions were so easy that I did them in 2 different accounts... This time I'm only interested in getting a Katori in my main account. By the way, for those curious enough, during Project R the mission that demanded more XP was 1800, with any ship, and it was not a weekly one.

I'm at tier 6 right now. In my opinion, Kirov could still have its guns slightly nerfed. Reload is really long, and damage I think is more or less correct for 180mm guns, so dispersion and shell speed are the only parameters that could be touched. It already has laughable armour, and the manoeuvrability is bad, so I don't think it is possible to make it worse in those aspects. Budiony is just more of the same, but with good armour (for a cruiser, nothing extraordinary) in exchange for slightly less OP guns at its tier. Being a paper ship, I can see more room for changes in this one.

Karlsruhe and Furutaka the besterest of all.

Hmmm, Great Naval Battles... My memory is not what it used to be... Oh, I remember now... Moderately happy... let's see what tomorrow brings

Because they want you to spend free XP, and if you don't have free XP then you have to buy it.

I wouldn't say it's so terrible. It's not at pre-buff Karlsruhe level. Struggles versus other battleships, but it can outrun the US ones, and I'd say it's on par with Myogi (more guns, less calibre). Kongos are the only real deadly menace, because he can't neither outgun nor outrun them. Tier 5 cruisers are dangerous, but at that tier most maps have cover that you can try to use to get closer. I'd say it's an equivalent of the classical WoT premium, slightly worse than their elited peers, but better than a stock ship of its tier.

Report him, go to port and start another game. Forget about him.

First, that's false. Yorck HE is perfectly capable of hitting destroyers. And it hits hard. Second, even if it wasn't, detecting DDs is important because even if you're useless shooting, others can hit them.

AP vs cruisers and lower tier BBs, HE vs anything else. That's what I usually do.

So you've been double citadeled by a BB salvo in a cruiser... How terrible. Happens to all cruisers from tier 3. You would know it if you had played them. Deal with it.

Then you can blame the German translators, because in the English section it was clearly stated: And since the 5.5 patch video we knew it was going to be 2 days.

That was not a weekend special event. It was a compensation for the long download and setup time of the last patch. It was very clearly stated that it was to last 2 days: Saturday and Sunday.

If this ends with the stupid gamey tactic of stopping your ship inside the smoke screens and be almost untouchable, welcome.

Are you sure of that? Fire a volley of a South Carolina at max range (about 11Km) and then do the same with an Iowa and tell me again that there's no difference.
