Also cleared E2, although on medium. Ark is basically nuking anything she attacks with her damage bonus.

Made a few runs for Grecale, but no luck so far.

 

Lets see what kind of cluster E3 is going to be, but so far it wasn't all that bad.

Looks more like an oath skin, doesn't it?

Rather "nightwear", akin to Nagato though it was mentioned somewhere it might appear alongside new Belfast and Yamashiro skins as part of some collab?

Oath skin would be free for me tho Not that it matters, I'll buy it anyways

So I've set fleet up for leveling Akizuki twins (or rather triplets), all going fine and dandy and then leveling takes abrupt end after first run

Hi,

I a mnot sure it is the good place to put this message, but it is quite linked. I was wondering if someone know how we can get the "Arpeggio of Blue Steel" skin from the event ?

I do not found them even in the shop :/

If you mean World of Warships ones, they aren't skins - they are separate ships. And they are no longer obtainable as collab concluded in 2016 and unless new contract will be signed, they are not coming back.

 

Maybe some mods will let you apply their skins over "regular" counterparts. Voiceovers you can hear yourself by editing preferences.xml

Funnily enough, after getting Inazuma from 8-1 and finally getting Saint Louis, I was just making a random run with my IB cruiser fleet (I've started on Roon now) on 8-2 and Ikazuchi popped. Then I made approximately 10 runs on 9-3 for Nicholas and she popped. At this point, as happy as I am to finally have both, I grunt a little to myself as 10-4 has not had enough runs put in with my main fleets to make it safe for my crappy IB fleet to actually complete. So the game basically forced me to put Roon on (partial) hold until I spend engouh oil to get 10-4 to a 'safe' rating. And even then, my IB fleet is so crap I'm going to have to make it a maximum-cost fleet just to clear 10-4.

Well, my IB fleet is currently running 7-2 to try and rebuild my coin reserves after Sandy ate most of it.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth even considering sending my IB cruisers to 11-3 for the next foxmine after Jinstuu?

Actually, there are maybe 4 girls for Italy now. I'm not sure the girl in first picture is Italian.

I don't know either about that one of the left... those decorations seems more like Iris Libre or something... 

In any case, it seems there's one more Italian girl teased:

 

...And now that I think about it, the grenade-style decoration might be a reference to the Soldati-class destroyer Granatiere...

Finally.

Only took me about 40 runs.

2nd run through 11-2 and Harutsuki bigger sister waltzed in like its no big deal

Spoiler

I have odd feeling search for 2nd torpedo fox might take a while... and ships being underage starts to struggle

@Panocek May I ask how your fleet looks like for those maps?

1st (mob) fleet backline been truckin as is since 10th map and healing output lets pretty much anything as vanguard to be "viable". While I can replace zuki trio with Phoenix and still get the job done at 3rd of fuel cost, I'd like to level someone else than go-to shipgrills and wall of dakka triple zukis provide is both surprisingly effective and memey despite being considerably underage.

 

Boss fleet is where I run into kinda issues, mostly due to lack of 105+ lvl ships except prototypes. When trying to run 3x BB or 2x BB+CV Roon is first to fall despite being sandwitched between iBucky and Saint Louis, hence Unicorn as emergency duct tape and screen clear. Clevelands, either three of them or with Helena stuffed somewhere just don't dps enough, though that might be tied to being underage by 4 levels. Nelsons both with gold 381 just to bury with barrages on double tap auto give impression to be most effective, as manual aim with that kind of torpedobeats is... less than doable at times.

E3 reward is going to be HMS Janus, one of Jervis' sisters.

Ok, first of all, an interview with Yostar director which basically says Sardinian (i.e. Italian) ships are pretty much below the horizon. Expect them soon.

 

https://twinfinite.net/2019/09/azur-lane-interview/

 

Also... we got the first image of the first Sardinian ship. Are ya ready?

Spoiler

 

They spoofed me, I was so sure it would be Granatiere... instead we got Carabiniere. Oh, well.

Someone suggested it might be the 'starter' ship for Sardinia; not a bad idea for me.

 

Spoiler

Anedocte time!

 

During the Co-Belligerance, the Carabiniere was ordered to sail from Italy to Ceylon, to support Royal Navy operations there. Arriving on 31 May 1945, the ship performed 38 missions, mainly carrier escorts and pickets to recover downed planes' crews. The notes its commander made on carrier operations in the meantime would be of interest to the Italian Navy, coincidentally.

 

When the hostilities with the Empire of Japan ended, the Carabiniere prepared to return home. The commander (author of an interesting autobiography) was offered a golden watch with 38 rubies by Admiral Sir Arthur J. Power in recognition of its service; he politely refused and asked instead to be allowed to bring to Italy 38 Italian POWs, which was granted.

 

 

EDIT: Damn... in this time, they released two more previews... my heart can't take this!

Hello, hello! We have an old acquaintance of ours, the Giulio Cesare!

Warspite will be happy to see her, I guess...

 

But let's leave the best for last!

There we go. The Littorio.

She looks SO badass.

Also, we can see on the lower right the crest for Sardegna (which is probably what we're going to get instead of Sardinia, as nation name).

Pasta class BB of some sort (Littorio?)
