Imagine having Hiryuu 

I've got metric jesuston of both bunnies from 3-2 when looking for Helldivers and single 5" as secondary *something* for cruisers

 

And initial impression of them post refit - they do not fluff around, though their new skill is bit RNGery, throwing squadron of random size every 20s. And given they are my highest leveled IJN carrier pair alongside cranes at 98lvl, I might actually focus on them. Survivability is somewhat lacking tho.

 

refit art is also very noice.

Not too much of a con for Hiryuu 'cause of her 1st skill. Shame that they were released so late, not worth ditching muh cranes who are both lvl115 

Altho, still retro'd them both day one, MORE FLOOF FOR THE FLOOF HAREM.

Meanwhile.....While Sendai took an eternity, Columboob took 5 clears

Some AL-News:

 

Since another Wish-Well event, I used it because some SR-Sub is still evading me.

Yesterday I got an IJN sub:

And today the SR one

Lucky U!

I got U-81 from my wishing well, too. Now I'm just waiting for Centaur to drop.

[LOZFFVII]

Ugh, are you serious?

Two U-81s today, but no Centaurs.

Can the 4% do me the favour of falling the other way, please?

[El2aZeR]

Apparently we're getting an early war US CA in KC.

I typed in USN 8 inch triple turret mk9 and found this wikipedia article.

Looks like she could be any from Pepsicola CA-24 down to Minneapolis CA-36. Notable ships include: Houston, Astoria and Indianapolis.

...And it's also just occurred to me that both Pensa and Northampton are mentioned in that image...

[Historynerd]

Not that I'm salty or anything...

Spoiler

 

...But I sincerely hope that the standard gun doesn't have +2 or +3 accuracy. 

I'm blowing a gasket everytime I compare the French 38 cm's +1 with the Italian 381 mm's -3, when for historical sake's it ought to be the reverse.

 

Spoiler

Saltiness mode off.

 

...And I noticed just now that it does say this thing has -1 in accuracy... go me!

[Marblehead_1]

I didn't think it may be Indianapolis due to Nuclear Bomb transport, also beyond Taffy 3 there are no warships sunk by IJN.

 

Personally I bet for Northampton due to reference to the Tassafaronga Battle or Augusta ( served mainly in Europe as hint of Torch or Normandy Event ) but I bet for Northampton.

 

I think we can also discard from that list Houston because story of survivors.

 

 

 

Also one question, this time about AL. There are any story about Northern Union in AL's lore? I search a little and as I read they in-game had only 1 cruiser and 4 chinese DD's which was former Soviet warships. Did they exist in lore more than mention that Royal Navy is supporting them as reference to the Arctic Convoys as only place where Soviet Navy was more active. I know that some of countries are to put it mildly strangely depicted in this game as China as one country consisting warships of RoCN and PLAN ( ok, I can understand this as doctrine of one country with two systems ) or France as theocracy ( this I really can't understand, it's probably biggest absurd in gaming ever seen by me, wait, RU BB in WoWs are bigger  ) so I'm really curious.

Thanks, so it tells almost nothing with maybe little reference to the Cold War in last sentence if I understand this correctly. Azur Lane ( allieds ) but meanly members playing on their own.

[Zemeritt]

Who knows, maybe the next AL/WoWs collab will bring plenty of WG/soviet dream ships

[El2aZeR]

I actually expect at least Donskoi to make an appearance.

I dunno, I think it would fit the powercreep in WoWs. Who knows where we'll end up next year 

[Historynerd]

If I don't get my Aquila and my Raimondo Montecuccoli before they pull off them Northern girls, I'm so gonna march on Mos... er, whatever the capital city of the Northern Parliament is called!

As long as I get my Giuseppe Garibaldi with either Polaris or Alfa MRBM, I'm not complaining on that one! 

[Zemeritt]

Honestly tho, there aren't many ships for the NU. Gangut maybe and some more DDs.

Sovietsky Soyuz as PR ship, maybe? Or Stalingrad?

 

I'd be partial for Tashkent, I admit. I know she can't hide her true calling!

Spoiler

 

Basically, she's all hyped up saying "hear the cries of the oppressed souls, must deliver communism!", when Roma shows up and says that she cooked too much pasta, so if she wants some...

'Nuff said. Vecchio sangue livornese!

Those are actually part of "Eastern Radiance", alongside Yat Sen, Ping and Pong.

[El2aZeR]

Watching the first episode right now.

(You can find it English subbed online. Won't post a link for obvious reasons.)

 

Here's the only info you'll ever need tho.

Spoiler

SANDY SAYS HER LINE!

PRAISED BE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!

 

Seriously tho, I rewinded that part like 3 times.

 

EDIT:

Alright done.

It's not that bad I suppose. First episode is pretty much an exposition through and through, pretty much no insight about the future direction of the plot is gained. Action scenes are quite good, CGI is used at times but it isn't terrible. In fact some of it does look great actually, I particularly liked the dogfights. BGM is great, sound design of guns and explosions could've been handled better tho.

Also waifu is hype.

 

How this anime will turn out is still anyone's guess, but the first episode allows for some careful optimism.

[Historynerd]

To be honest, I don't care a bit about the anime, so I won't even take the time to watch it.

Also because, as usual, there are no italian ships!
