It should be this...

I'm glad they're removing it. Edit: Where did my post go? Ah well.

I'm surprised WG EU didn't remove the 'Honourable Service' campaign and put Shinonome in the premium shop.

Is it possible to create a new account + play on the US or Asia server without downloading the client/game again. Messing about with scripts_config.xml or something?

With the addition of containers I'm stockpiling lot's useless signal flags. Isn't it about time we had the option of junking them for a few creds?

Ah well. I was planning on buying Spee and enjoying the Christmas convoy missions, they looked much more interesting than <play X games>

I use them on all my HE spamming ships but just collect way way more than I use.

They should get Dasha to dress up in a scrooge outfit next year ...and say the EU server won't be getting any rewards <3 WG EU

http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/69204-end-of-year-achievement-marathon/ WG EU are just trolling us. 8/10 for editing the video chaps

The campaigns aren't region specific like missions, EU gets the same tasks. The real grind is going to be from the 9th to the 18th. I calculate a half decent f2p player will need to play 6-10 games a day to get everything (task 4/Graf Spee then the 54+ pins needed for Tirpitz camo) These are the rewards.

For everyone! (who grinds out a bunch of missions)

Ooooh nice. Free tier 6 Christmas premium camo for Graf Spee, Leander, Farragut, Budyonny, Fuso and Bayern

Ah yes, it's all those damn photos showing CPXIX mounts pointing in every direction. Shame they don't rotate 360 like the single X mountings. In that case your right! It would be excellent to offer different mid-train positions between the group, even if the J/K were set to dead astern in the 40s. Nice one J/K class = dead ahead (great for charging) N class = dead astern (great for the wiggle retreat)

A 4 x 5"/51 Clemson would make a great reward/premium ship. I'd go for USS Kane.

There's plenty of photos showing the J/K X turret pointing directly backwards with a clear line of sight. A wiki/urban myth because the X turret can rotate 360 and point forwards? Maybe the author got it confused with the L/M class where the 4" X turret couldn't shoot backwards. Kelly. Lance with 4" guns. Note: All J/K/L/M/N classes are going to be AMAZING for hunting down other destroyers with 6 guns that rotate around the front with great arcs.

Torpedo Acceleration is a great choice, there's a free captain reset coming soon so don't worry taking the wrong skills too much. Here's my full strike scout setup. She's a beast!

Screw WAYGAMING!

Only with the training AP A smallish destroyer with 10 RP 52 mounts would be my ultimate ship.

Shouldn't it be 2. Maybe it was buffed to 3 for balance?

10 gun Tribal designs would be a perfect for T10. The Weapon Class is very interesting, always loved this pic of Scorpion. Here's a fun comparison to a 3x4 Akizuki build, her closest rival at tier 8. You trade AA and gun power for better torpedoes, looks fun! Destroyer Captain build (18 point) Turret rotation time (s) HE DPM Fires per minute Torpedo Torpedo Range (km) Torpedo time to Target (s) Reaction time + vigilance (s) Potential torpedo DPM Potential strike damage AA DPS (c/m/l) Akizuki 3x4 support 11.3 21,333* 4.3 Type93 mod. 2 10 37 12.2 45,000 83,868* 0/91/202 Weapon 3x4 support 12 15,000* 3.2 Mk IX** 10 42 10.0 77,665 155,330 0/90/128 Notes: I'm using 1250 HE damage per shell for the 4" (1500 is OP) and 15 deg train rate for the mounts. *HE DPM varies greatly depending on target. No Torpedo Armament Expertise for a 3x4 build, torpedo DPM would be more in a standard build. Mid range AA is 5.2km for Weapon and 4.4km for Akizuki, base values from Belfast and Neptune. (Aki and Weapon have the best AA at tier 8 by miles)

That's always been the case with destroyers and cruisers.

HMS Amethyst - A premium Black Swan (with real ammo) ...and Teazer.

Can I have the Iwaki Alpha too? Here's what I'd do with US treaty BBs. North Carolina: 1st line tech tree. South Dakota: 2nd line tech tree. Massachusetts: Always in premium shop. Code can be purchased at Battleship Cove that gives you Massachusetts with a special flag, camo and 'I was here' WOWS T-shirt. Alabama: Rare premium. Code can be purchased at Battleship Memorial Park that gives you Alabama with a special flag, camo and 'I was here' WOWS T-shirt. Indiana: Reward ship for super testers. Washington: Rare premium sold once a year.

Arethusa class cruiser confirmed for tier 5? ...with Perth smoke?

The J class is a nice fit between Benson and Kagero when you add torpedoes, a good all rounder.
