They were on the enemy team. I checked my port but I don't seem to have mine yet. Maybe they've been awarded to lottery winners first?

shot-16.02.15_15.54.28-0182_zpsswrj0sr1.

 

Edit: AGHH! Its just appeared!

Doesn't seem to be connected to the lottery.

I just had mine added to the port and I had above 260 pearls.

Got mine. I had enough pearls to get it outright. Also got an email from WG telling me. Having a couple of games with it then backing off for a while until the plague subsides.:)

The news is now on the front page.

 

The ships are being added to the 260+ pearls winner right now or in the very near future. After that the winners of the raffle will be drawn from those who had 150 to 259 pearls.

I've just had one added.

 

Looks like I got lucky in the draw as I was a few pearls short of 260

Been checking this out.  I expected it to be a straight lift from the Fujin, which was sold during Halloween last year.  As it happens it is more than a shade better.

 

Here are the raw stats of the three ships

 

shot-16.02.15_16.29.24-0330ggg_zpskwz7c8rl.jpg

 

Here details of the guns.  Sadly these are in reverse order to the above so they go Minekaze >  Fujin > Kamikaze R

 

shot-16.02.15_16.37.07-0102_zpswlesajuk.jpg

 

you can see that you'll get nearly an additional round per minute off and the rotation speed is significantly better.  Not shown here is the Fujin's torp reload being just a tad slower than the other two also. Kamikaze R with it's credit and experience boost is the best Tier V DD in the game.

The numbers you show here are influenced by the captain. The turret traverse of the Kamikaze is by default 25.7, without captain skill and Modul, which is the same on the Fujin.

Well I'm quite pleased with it. Just earned myself a double strike and double 'it's just a flesh wound'. Got those torpedoes away just in the nick of time!

I'm not too keen on this ship in the game. I fear it may break mid-tier play. Ships with such torpedoes visible only from 5.4 km? Too strong in my opinion. And this comes from someone who has a ton of games in Minekaze and would like to think he's pretty good with it and DDs in general.

 

Funny how WG nerfs cruisers to hell with some feeble explanations of "seal clubbing" when this DD is the ultimate seal clubber.
