Dido or Canarias?

Has the mission tree not come out yet or have I missed something? Was looking forward to get me the Canarias but nothing has shown up so far amongst my available missions.

 

Cheers

Zitat

Four weeks after the release of Update 0.11.11, you will gain access to a special chain of combat missions. Completing them will reward you with either flag_United_Kingdom_c1f75d7cca85dc4b4820premium_1114542bcd311c388080eea3a4d54a7eVI Dido or flag_Spain_5e711825138501e1ece2e80248e5bpremium_1114542bcd311c388080eea3a4d54a7eVI Canarias on top of some valuable rewards. If you pick a ship that you already have in your Port as your reward, you'll receive compensation instead in the form of 8,250,000 Credits.

They're both pretty average ships that aren't a lot of fun to play, but I prefer Canarias purely because there are very few other Spanish ships at the moment and that sets it apart.

Whilst I have the Dido and I do like her I would be reluctant to recommend her over Canarias. 
 

I mostly play the Dido in Ops where her smoke and rate of fire can be used to their full potential, where as in randoms I would be a lot more cautious.
 

She has pretty short range guns so you would need to really use island cover and support your DDs as Dido doesn’t have hydro ( something to remember when sitting in smoke).

I got Canarias the previous event. So Dido remains as the only viable choice. I know Dido is not that great but rather have her in port then the 8 million silver compensation for getting Canarias the 2nd time. With both ships in port plus the recent Xmas T6 premium ship drops ( I have al regular T5 so rng decides to give me T6 instead) I have just a few T6 premiums ( which surprisingly are the more expensive BB’s) left… Maybe next Xmas will give me some T7 due to having all T5 and T6’s.

 

edit: will also be very depending on the level of grind required to finish the mission..

If Canarias would have the same shell characteristics as Hampshire - it works a very good ship. But the AP is a bit weaker and fails to pen many times. I would still recommend her cause she has decent range. While Dido relies on Island cover and really struggling against T8's and bigger maps.

Next ranked season will feature a single tier and the bronze will be for T6 only. Both of these will be quite strong, since the main problem for them is uptiering.

Neither something to be excited about. I picked Dido last time there was a mission to get one of them for free, she can work but requires a very careful playstyle. From what i've heard about Canarias the thing is boredom incarnate, i guess that is the reason i haven't seen one in months despite most people picking her during the last mission.

Canarias has gun range and speed, so there is that. Gun range helps to avoid attention early game and speed and hydro helps chasing down DDs if the opportunity calls for it. 40kt is nothing to be scoffed at.

 

That having said, will go for Dido this time as I already have the former.

I have Dido, well that is a DD diguised as a cruiser, LOL. It's lots of fun though. 
This time Canarias, let's see if it is any good. Most of these freebies are quite fun.

I have both from the last promotion, and don't play either much. 

 

I prefer the Dido but Canarias is marginally better.

Sorry to say, but in reality all of 16 Dido class CLs were named after some legendary persons. In that case Dido stands for the name of mythological founder and first queen of Carthage. She was also known as Elissa :Smile_Default:.

 

Anyway - I took Canarias first, now it is time for another famous one.

Dido explodes pretty easily...  so, Canarias may be a more interesting choice for Tier 6.

Does anyone know how to get the "Atlantic" permanent camouflage for Dido?

It came with the Atlantic camo when it was initially made available.

Not sure if it'll be included this time around.

I think you will have to hope for an event mission with it in the future, because it doesn't appear in the current mission rewards ...

Got Canarias the last time, so now it's time for Dido. Canarias is a decent ship, hampered a bit by AP-only guns. Really hard to deal damage occasionally, especially when uptiered.
