[TORAZ] Earl_of_Northesk Players 2,447 posts 14,711 battles Report post #8 Posted March 1, 2017 We were able to get Katori in a set of missions which NA never got. So it's evened out now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BLOBS] StuntMan0369 Beta Tester 923 posts 4,848 battles Report post #9 Posted March 1, 2017 To be entirely fair, EU already had the chance to earn Katori during the GNB event, along with a bunch of other low tier premiums (Smith was in there, Albany and Tachibana too if memory serves). Which again, was do-able for free, just like NA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CHATS] Webley_Mark WoWs Wiki Team 12,258 posts 9,801 battles Report post #10 Posted March 1, 2017 Well... I have done the math! The Katori requierd 38.500 Base XP. That all. And you can even do it in Co-op battle. The last time we get to won a T3 ship, the Campbeltown, it cost us 50.000 Base XP and 2.000.000 of damage given to ennemy ship. Only things in your favour was the 12 points captain given with the Campbeltown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BOTS] deadly_if_swallowed Players 1,678 posts 13,867 battles Report post #11 Posted March 1, 2017 From what I have gathered, EU even had MORE chances to get Katori. Last time NA had the chance to get her was by buying the large Black Friday bundle that included every premium ship (except Nikolai and Gremy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why fail divisions got restricted to +/-1 tier I read something about Iowa only using secondaries on the Katori. Wikipedia: At mean range of 14,500yds, Iowa closed with Katori and fired 46 16-inch (406 mm) high capacity (non-armor-piercing) rounds and 124 5-inch (127 mm), straddling the cruiser with eight salvos. CAG 17/A16-3 reports Iowa hits Katori with her second salvo. Just after Iowa's forth salvo, Katori quickly listed to port exposing seven large shell holes about 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter in her starboard side, one under the bridge about five feet below the waterline another amidships about at the waterline, plus about nine small holes.[citation needed] The damage on the port side was much worse. After being under attack by Iowa for only 11 minutes, Katori sank stern first, with a port side list at 07°45′N 151°20′E about 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Truk. A large group of survivors were seen in the water after she sank, but the Americans did not recover any. USN overkill 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
