[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,102 posts Report post #1 Posted October 9, 2019 I have completed this so many times and never have I witnessed the Ghost ship of Raptor... I even managed to hit it... It was terrifying , the team were in turmoil... So what is it? Is it an enemy? A UFO? Do we get a special prize if we can sink it? If it is available I want one.... 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estaca_de_Bares Players 1,510 posts 24,872 battles Report post #5 Posted October 9, 2019 That's the ship that gives the "Insert Coin" achievement if you hit it with a torpedo. I've seen it a handful of times and tried to get the achievement, even with the reworked carriers, but it's been elusive so far. Salute. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can only get the achivement once though. Trick is to torp while the ship is behind the island, then pray that it runs into them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R7S] lovelacebeer Players 3,794 posts 24,278 battles Report post #10 Posted October 9, 2019 It's a fun little end of mission game, torp him to make the boat turn back and get an achievement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[I-J-N] Karasu_Browarszky [I-J-N] Players 11,552 posts Report post #11 Posted October 9, 2019 What is that? The Flying Dutchman?! EDIT: Saw it! Sank it too! Thanks for the tips! Decided to give it a try so took out my Shinonome for this operation and it paid off royally (also being a very good 5 star battle all round). Having to manually aim your torpedoes at a ship that sails between two islands was a bit tricky but with luck the third (and final) batch did it. In a way, this reminded me off that huge big arcade game I may have mentioned before, where you fired torpedoes at a line of ships going across the horizon and could track your torpedo by the light that showed up under the waves. Insert the coin! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DK-CP] NothingButTheRain Players 6,338 posts 14,187 battles Report post #12 Posted October 9, 2019 So far I've only seen it in the middle pair of islands and only some of the time. I don't know what the triggers are, but apparently it spawns when the exit zone is there. I don't know if it can be sunk, but apparently it can @Karasu_Hidesuke ?

When hit by a torpedo it will explode (and sink, presumably). Only seen it once earlier today when I was approaching the mid exit zone in my DD. Second time I tried approaching it in my Mutsu but there was nothing there. Might it only show up until you've got the achievement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might it only show up until you've got the achievement? That's a possibility. I don't know, I haven't been able to spot the ship today (played it with both my t6 carriers). It is possible that it only appears if someone in the group does not have the achievement yet, just like Commander Jenkins! Good thinking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-IAN-] IanH755 Players 2,086 posts 7,089 battles Report post #16 Posted October 9, 2019 When hit by a torp he just turns around and goes the other way so there is the potential for multiple ships to torp it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pikkozoikum Players 7,658 posts 13,545 battles Report post #17 Posted October 9, 2019 Wasn't there once a mistake with the Raptor and a meme about it? That is was shown as DD or something like that... is that related to that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark_Jaden Players 6 posts 11,216 battles Report post #18 Posted October 9, 2019 Crossed this ghost ship many times in Raptor so don't panic, WG has probably code something with that ^^ Anyway, I would like inform the second ship pack (Kuma, Furutaka and Aoba) doesn't sail when they comes from the south. They can return fire, but not moving nor torps. The game work normally when the pack is coming from the north at the start of the operation. Maybe does it comes from a recent update ? Anyway, this bug needs to be fixed. Does anybody heard about a report already opened ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about the northern exit? In the game I was in, as I was starboard flank guard for the raptor and consorts, the ship just suddenly appeared. I thought it was a glitch at first and then when it reappeared I then took the screenshots.. But, it appeared around the finish line as you can see J1 and I1... My clan mate also had one in his although he didn't say where or screenshot... he was told to torpedo it and so he did. All he got was the insert coin badge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
