[UNICS] Nechrom Beta Tester 4,870 posts 10,112 battles Report post #1 Posted March 11, 2017 Didn't see a topic pointing out the fact that the Russian destroyer Okhotnik is now in the EU premium shop, so I thought I'd mention it. Three purchase options as per usual: Admiral's Edition - 30€ Okhotnik 5200 doubloons Custom flag (see bottom of post) 3 upgrades: Mag Mod 1, MBM 2 and PM 1 150 consumables: 50 x DCP II, 50 x SG II and 50 x EB II Captain's Edition - 20€ Okhotnik 2200 doubloons 100 signal flags: 50 x ESCL and 50 x ZH Standard Edition - 12€ Okhotnik For full disclosure, I got the Captain's Edition myself. I like to have some doubloons, ESCL and ZH signals, so it was a nice bundle for me. Played it two times so far and I love it. First was in a tier 7 battle and second was in a tier 5 battle and it worked great in both. The alpha of a full broadside would be impressive on a cruiser of that tier. The torpedoes are devastating if you can get within 4.5 km range of someone. Fast, lots of them and with good individual damage. Surprisingly stealthy for its size, but very visible from the air. This is the unique flag you get from the Admiral's Edition: Link to the article on the main portal: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/premshop/okhotnik/ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #2 Posted March 11, 2017 The standard bundle is nice and cheap. I've no need for the other stuff. Comical little boat that likely wouldn't sail if it was real. Epic broadsides can be quite a lot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MUMMY] rage1750 Players 824 posts 11,400 battles Report post #3 Posted March 11, 2017 I am tempted. I am a DD player mostly and this looks, unusual. Worth the money? I would likely just get the unbundled vanilla version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably launched before the Russian revolution? I think this is the same with the Nicolai and some other low tier Russian ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corvi Beta Tester, In AlfaTesters 1,147 posts 16,279 battles Report post #9 Posted March 11, 2017 Its a hilarious boat and absolutely worth it. You cant play it like a regular DD but you gotta be more the ambushing type, but that firepower if you catch someone sailing around an island is just insane.

I suck with shima so I don't think I would win the contest, and I think this ship will sometimes be absolutely hilarious.

[MUMMY] rage1750 Players 824 posts 11,400 battles Report post #16 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Not bad, but for the purpose of acting butthurt its all Hateshinaku's fault... Plus thanks to enemy CV Capt_Pugwash28 for ruining my first game; but we had an amusing chat which earned him a +1, he is a good guy but likes picking on DD's that just want to be friends.... Good ship but it is huge, and very poor AA Edited March 11, 2017 by rage1750 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troll in her together just finished first game ( well game still going but I am death... ) BB wonders around corners -> 12 fishes in the water -> 1 dead BB's. But my team where absolute weekend shitters, camping on the I line in a domination match where enemy had all caps and they kept camping. I tried to cap one zone closest to the shitters, I spot a German DD coming in I ping him constantly but none of the shitters even tried shooting it. I thought f it I am not spending more time with you shitters and I sailed in his torps to be rid of the weekend warrior shitters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[I-J-N] Karasu_Browarszky [I-J-N] Players 13,025 posts Report post #24 Posted March 11, 2017 The real life Okhotnik looks to have been a smaller ship, built in 1906 by Crighton in Abo (present day Turku), a sister ship of the General Kondratenko. She struck a mine and sunk on September 26, 1917 with a loss of 52 men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
