Leander - compensation in Credits, understandable and logical.
Admiral Graf Spee and Exeter are premium ships sold for doubloons. Why compensation in Credits?

Where's the mission chain in the game, the progress? You said 15:00h, it should be live by now.

Pretty pointless event being polite about it.

 

It's one of those "click participate", get a free signals crate while playing normally(meh....) and ignore the rest since it's such a low % chance of winning(just 2 Graf Spee's up for grabs for the entire EU playerbase for example).

 

Should have just had a more testing series of missions in which the final prize was a choice of the 3 ship rewards. Players will be playing more with Christmas hols so more missions are always welcome and it's not like a Graf Spee, Exeter of economic bonus for a Leander is going to derail the massive influx of cash WG were set to make selling any of those 3 things.

My clan AJX is dedicated to my Father's Cousin Wilfred who was a Royal Marine on HMS Ajax during the battle. I never met him unfortunately but from the records it is clear he received a leg wound during the battle, oral family history records that this happened in X turret which was put out of action during the battle (until dockyard repairs in the UK).

In his 23 years as a Royal Marine, he experienced many things including:

  •     The last major mutiny of the Royal Navy (Invergordon 1931 on HMS Valiant.
  •     King George V's Silver Jubilee Fleet Review 1935 on HMS Vindictive
  •     Rescue work after the Chillan Earthquake 1939 on HMS Ajax
  •     The first major naval battle of WW2 Battle of the River Plate on HMS Ajax
  •     Operation Menace 1940 Attempted Capture of Vichy French Dakar In the Royal Marine Brigade
  •     Operation Jubilee 1942 The Dieppe Raid on the French Coast Royal Marine Commando (A) later 40
  •     The largest D Day landing ever, Operation Husky 1943 Opposed Amphibious Landing Sicily in Royal Marine 40 Commando
