What is your 'rarest' ship in WoWS?

[Aethervoxx]

What is your 'rarest' ship or what do you think is your rarest ship you have in your port? Why is it rare? What do you think makes it rare or why is it a rare ship? Any relevant comments are welcome .

I don't have any rare ships. Ragnar, I guess. Does that count? Anyone can get it.

This is my original account for WoWS albeit I'm a refugee transfer account from NA server. I was lucky enough to get accepted into Alpha testing just before that ended.

I made sure I played the required number of battles for the Alpha reward ship, I think it was 50 battles (no one knew, ofc, what it would be) but a free ship is a free ship.

So my 'rarified' ship is the Iwaki Alpha (shown in a nice costume). Was I bright enough to obtain the Imperator Nickolai I or the Kamikaze R (amongst other hard to obtain ships)?  , No.

Musashi and Kamikaze. Not been sold since a long time ago.

Arkansas Beta

 

You had to do 50 games in the closed Beta. She is a trade-off Wyoming with access to all 6 Upgrade slots, but lacks any kind of AA. Played her a few times in Coop, but I am not going to take that brick into guaranteed double T4 CV randoms.

[SnuSnu_RIP]

Nikolai, Gremi, Kamikaze +(R), Fujin, Belfast, Kutusow, Enterprise... Maybe I forgot something

[hellhound666]

grema & nikolai I etc...

[tocqueville8]

Druid apparently only has 28k games played on the EU server, so that would be mine, I guess.

[Verblonde]

I'm not sure I have anything that really counts as rare; I do have most of the officially 'rare' premiums, but most of them came out of crates etc...

 

Fujin is probably the one I see others of least frequently.

[wot_2016_gunner]

well, the ship i'd consider my rarest is also the worst one i own, that being Oklahoma

 

why do i consider it rare? because it is a horrible ship that you'd rather play Texas all day than this thing AND in order to get it you need to complete its own collection (Always courageous) and you can only complete the collection via containers from the armory (3k coal each). I was lucky enough to complete the collection during the event, while i was grinding Key Battles.

 

I take her out in battle only twice a year, for the Anniversary "snowflakes" and for the X-mas ones.

[lovelacebeer]

Kamikaze R, Belfast and Druid for me.
 

I also have the Audacious im not sure if you would call her rare or maybe just not many people are bonkers enough to like playing her.

LOL, good one, wot_2016_gunner, thanks for the humour. I have the Oklahoma too & I had an extra 10 pt US Cpt languishing in reserve so it's now helmed & when it gets randomed it will sail out for a battle, once in a while .

[Ronchabale]

Dunno.. 

Musashi, Missouri, Fujin, Kamikaze, Benham, Kutozov, Giulio Cesare, Belfast, Nikolai, Kronstadt, Gremyaschy,, König Albert, Vampire (tier 3)

 

 

also Agincourt, Enterprize

 

[Jvd2000]

Whaled a lot of semi rares. Like ships withdrawn because WG reasons.. some bought when they were released like Imperator or GC, other through old events like kamikaze R and others when I whaled Xmas. 
 

Maybe not the best or most sought ship especially since it has been sold directly but for me always special: ARP Nachi due to the mission requirements at that time…

Aww, Nov_A, sad to hear this. I play my Ark B with some regularity (when I random it to play that is). The extra equipment upgrade slots make it worth playing. As to seeing double T4 CV randoms - that does not happen that often, imo.

I like it better than Agincourt, I have to say. 

 

Rarest? Guilio Cesare, Konig Albert.  Lesser-spotted?  Jurua, Fen Yang, Leone, Mysore, Poltava.

. I have all the ARP Myokos & the Nachi is special to me too  but for a different (personal) reason.

[KillStealBoss]

Agincourt. Other rare ships like Nikolai, Gremyashchy, Kamikaze or Gulio are more common than Agincourt. I almost don't see it, it was available only via Jutland containers in the time when people were mad at WG lootbox practices - which means not many got it. I was lucky to have it after opening only 5 of those. 

Also Mysore that has some decent AA for T6 and many times CVs attack me on it. 

Nachi as well. And Cheshire.

Had a look at the campaignes to get it, think I might pass on this one

I have just two of those &, although, I wouldn't have gone after all those impressive ships - I'm getting 'port envy' .

FYI - did you know, MacArthur92, that of all the WoWS ships, the only historical ship that the Indian Navy had during WW2 were three 'Black Swan' sister ships - so that's where I use my Indian ship camo .

But they used Mysore after WW2 until 1985!
