WestyII Players 335 posts 3,365 battles Report post #402 Posted May 19, 2016 The postcard with Queen Elizabeth, Ramillies, Resolution and Royal Sovereign (or Revenge, Royal Oak) is amazing. Quite a build up of fire power! Great pics! They have used up all 8 of their signal flag slots! Just hoping you don't like the effect the patrol itself had on the Spanish Civil War Here's a funny one btw. Guess it's what you get when someone talented but not into history applies the color brush hah! I can spot it, Orthochromatic film to blame! Britain declared neutrality over the SCW, What was the effect of the Neutrality Patrol? I know the RN was responsible for neutrality over the Northern ports, but thats about it.

I know the RN was responsible for neutrality over the Northern ports, but thats about it. Bit complicated to wrap that up nicely but -with the benefit of hindsight- in short It was a political farce hurting the Republicans far more than the Nationalists. If you're interested in the Spanish Civil War, I suggest reading Hugh Thomas' book on it. It contains a lot of detail on the neutrality patrol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lankylad11_lankylad Players 765 posts 8,230 battles Report post #412 Posted May 24, 2016 the inexplicable thing is that the asia server has had it for a month, so it is clearly ready but its a british ship so the biggest demand would be on the EU server....... thats the annoyance. if it was not any server then i wouldnt be so annoyed. if we had an RN line i wouldnt be so annoyed either. on a serious note i would like to see kutuzov in the tree for doubloons. actually i would like to see Kutuzov as the regular tier 8 cruiser in current spec and Chapaev as the premium, giving Chap smoke and MK radar, cos i believe regular ships should be better than same tier premiums 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DD445] KurtVonSteiger Weekend Tester 382 posts 38,087 battles Report post #413 Posted May 24, 2016 Since a intimation that Campbeltown might be given away as a prize ages ago and after testers seemed to feel it was a rather lacklustre premium it puts it firmly in the running for a reward ship and since it has not appeared on the EU server I think there is a good chance it will be the 12 million reward.

[UNICS] Solo_Wing_Potato Players 317 posts 7,782 battles Report post #416 Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks Hans it's good to have someone's positive view on the ship considering all the negative stuff that has been said. So if my understanding is correct it'll be available tomorrow to buy for doubloons? (Only read the first post on the patch notes for 0.5.6 thread so if it's highlighted later that the Campbeltown won't be released initially with the patch my apologies).

Blue_Bug Players 1,428 posts 7,991 battles Report post #418 Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) The Campbeltown isn't a bad ship. It has just a different playstyle as the other DD's at tier 3. If you adapt to it, you can get amazing results. At the moment I have a highest score of 81.498 damage and an average damage of 41.071. One of the downsides of this ship is that you can't cary a batle with it. Edited May 25, 2016 by Blue_Bug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[RN-R] Vistulus [RN-R] Beta Tester 129 posts 6,682 battles Report post #424 Posted May 25, 2016 I'm cautiously pleased that HMS Campbelltown will be made available tomorrow, I will be interested to see how much she is priced at and assuming its a sensible price and there is no last minute hitches then I will be buying gold (for the first time since this fiasco started) and I will buy her. You know it shouldn't be this fecking hard to give a company money, you really do need to take a long hard look at your marketing strategy WG. I hope there will be more RN ships soon (as WG say themselves other DD's could be skinned as could Bogue to give RN fans a CV) but I really have no faith that we will see anything other than pimped soviet fantasy boats based on WG's track history.
