Where is it? Does anyone know something?

 

NA has Dunkirk themed missions where you can earn a Dunkirk flag.

We know this is WG-EU...

Question is: how are you still surprised?

Well, to be fair to WG EU, Dunkirk is near the coast of the USA. So expecting them to give a damn about an event that was 70+ years ago on the other side of the world and make an event for us EU players would be a bit too much.

 

 

Just checked the NA store, which pi$$es me off even more.

The FV201 on sale in two bundles and as standalone...on EU it was only in an idiotic bundle available.

Thx WG EU, you know how to pi$$ on your ...cater to the needs of your players.

Cut them some some slack, will ya? It's understandable they forgot about Dunkirk.

 

After all it's a 3 hour drive from their office in Paris.

Would love for HMS Gallant to be trotted out, but she's only been announced recently, haven't even seen any of them in game yet.

What did you expect? Its clearly an American event for something that happened in USA and only Americans give a damn about it...

Europeans have no connections with Dunquerke whatsoever.

Just like it was with carnivals.

You have to understand that, the yanks are the glorious master race while EU peasants can be happy if WG decides to deign themselves to take a dump in our filthy money spending hands.

Rejoice, for we unworthy sub-human EU creatures can be happy to spend moneyz so the glorious master race from over seas can enjoy all the things we can only dream about!

Only the British can turn a crushing defeat into a victory.

 

Well, Turkish did that too in their Independence War ;)

According to IMDB, on 21st of July.

 

 

 

 

 

Definitely going to see that one.

Part of it was filmed in the Netherlands btw, as well as in Belgium, France and the UK.

Some of it even in California, despite US neutrality at the time. :teethhappy:

 

And presumably, that means HMS Gallant will be released at around that time.

Think the same happened with the USS Indianapolis (which BTW was not a great movie in my opinion, although the ship looked terrific).

Get the flag for free for the anniversary of a major event for Europe? Nah, that'll be part of the £85 HMS Gallant bundle... staggered of course because Wargaming love to spoil us.

We'll have a token event tied into the movie in Juky to sell the Brit DD bundle

So, two days later and still no event...

 

This is pretty sad.  :(

 

 

 

 

Well, WG usually tries to sit minor $hit storms out, and in this case, it wasn't even a $hitstorm just a couple players complaining about the lack of an event.

Things like that get ignored and even if we would get a statement from WG, it'd be the usual explanations.

So, NA has commemorated both Dunkirk and Jutland.......

 

I suppose an obscure battle like Jutland has no relevance in a game dedicated to early 20th century naval warfare...
