One good thing about getting a captain: Max out your captain reserve before completing the mission. Get Hiei with free reserve slot. Profit.

I acctually think aswell that something is messed up here. I'd expect them to "re-release" the ships once we've been though all available ones. And even if they only have one new ship to offer, wouldn't it make sense to start with Kongo or Myoko again? 

 

I mean they were the first two in line so having them come back first would make much more sense and I guess many players who missed the first missions or found intrest afterwards would apprechiate that for sure.

The ARP captains are not that usefull unless you got the ships for them, any spare ARP captain just take up a valuable slot. STOP IT!

I expect that it will be like the following (and like the previous ones):

 

Stage 1: ARP Hiei (commander)

Stage 2: ARP Hiei (ship)

Stage 3: ARP Ashigara (commander)

Stage 4: something (i think some flags)

Reward for completing all stages: ARP Ashigara (ship)

 

 

I confirm:

Stage 1: ARP Hiei (commander)

Stage 2: ARP Hiei (ship) :ohmy:

Not yet. Something we have been complaining about for a long time.

Hey, my fourth Myoko. I already have 5 Kongo. If I make it to a dozen, do I get one for free?

Okay, I just made 1000000 damage points, and I can confirm, that I now have two Hiei captains in my reserve and one captain aboard the Hiei. 

 

The reward of stage two of  the challenge is the battleship Hiei. 

 

Normally you cannot have more than one copy of a certain type in WG games, and in WoT you instead get the credits (and the free slot). But you cannot buy the ARP ships, so they have no price tag. So this will be interesting.

 

Probably it is just an old fashioned FUBAR from the WG crew - and this may be the reason why they haven't come up with an official explanation, because they are still discussing what to do.

Yea, I guess you're right. Did you notice that the Announcement for the month event shedule was online for about 1 or 2 hours and then vanished into thin air again? Also there was no official announcement for the Arpeggio Taks yet, which is unusual as they are already released. 

 

As I said in this or another post - the Takao has an ship icon since the last update in the Arpeggio ship tree - no actual model once you click it but honestly they don't neet to do a new model like they would need for Maya they only need to do a skin for the ship (like they did before). So maybe someone messed up? Or maybe there was an issue so they did something to launch the mission and fix the Problem afterwards?

I believe these missions were programmed long in advance.

And they had to master a lot of major situations lately (3x captain XP weekend, 0.5.9 patch, Situational awareness skill reset, captain skills "free" reet week, wargamings anniversary  (today), Gamescon).

I feel sorry for the guys but on the other side, they did a great job adjusting quickly and fixing many things to our favor.

 

So most probably, this HIEI just slippedunder their radar.

On Asia server they have return mission for Kongo etc. which is great because a lot of people missed out on the first ships (like me) so maybe this is a return mission for that ship as well. I would like to have them all.

we will probably see Kongo or Haruna (again) in the next set alongside Nachi (.... which for some odd reason was absent for 2 patches*... and should have came alongside Ashigara... oh well...)

 

*well partly absent. her voice is present ever since 5.8 but no traces of her mental model (commander portrait) and ship

For note to developers,maybe you will finish to produce new KONGO class battleships of Fleet of Fog,and give players and opportunity to have some good cruisers hmm?Maybe 3 ships of one class of ships are more than enough?If you want'to to continue that theme add DD,carriers,and cruisers with same camo and theme,then j put thumbs up,but until SOORRYY!!!J wan't something new!!!

Just a heads up> If you already have HIEI (the ship), you get a free port Slot instead.

 

 

More good news:

Stage 3: ARP Ashigara (commander) with 6 skills (a mere shadow compared to the 15 skills HIEI captain we got last time but, ok

This is the EU, we don't get free stuff here. If the label says 'FREE', what it really mean is 'GRIND'.

I think I need to disappoint you here. The Fog has had Battleships, Cruisers and the unusual Submarine with mental models BUT there was no DD that had a mental model at some stage of the movie. Since we're getting the mental models here, the ships that need to be released are Takao, Maya, Nachi, Yamato and Musashi to complete the series. Also there might be a Nagara Cruiser, but that would mean that IJN needs to get a light cruiser tree like it's planned for the US Navy, and this is rather difficult because it takes long to create all these ships.

I am talking about the Hiei ship (not the captain).

And yes, you get a third Hiei captain.

Dear Wargaming, forgive my mistrust (I know you, too well) but

This is in my garage

Spoiler

I was playing World of Tanks recently. I was sailing my Exelsior, and spotted an enemy Hetzer sailing broadside on, likely in transit. I fired my gun and landed a nice hit in the Hetzer's upper hull.

 

It's just another Hiei, your current one won't be affected. You'll have two and they can start a garage band together. Personally, I'm glad that it is Hiei and not some other ship, since Hiei was the only Kongo that needed the tier 7 effort last time it was available for missions.

Maybe that is why we see her again. Usually you have to play with the same tier your reward has. Since not every player is at Tier VII right now (which is fairly understandable), it looks like they just gave the players who had to sadly look at the mission last time the opportunity to solve the task. 

 

But only a port slot for these 1000000 damage and 2000 hits is not such a great reward. I'd acctually like to see two seperate missions then, like Kongo and Myoko first had. But I guess that's not ideal because we wont't have to grind such a long time in that case.
