Cruisers can be fun in the later tiers.. Killing DDs or setting BB's ablaze! I do love DD's the best though.

Halloween missions are up. To me this kind of sounds like a test run for adding in escort-type missions...which might be fun.

Quote
In Saving Transylvania, you control one of three otherworldly warships: the destroyer Blade, the battleship Jackal, and the cruiser Igor. Together, they must escort the Transylvania to the arcane portal that brings them all to safety. Unfortunately, they'll have to fend off Zikasa battleships and hellfire-slinging catapults led by the mysterious Rasputin, determined to destroy the Transylvania and her escorts!

The goal is simple: Get Transylvania to the portal before she's destroyed!

Accessing "Saving Transylvania"
As long as the "Saving Transylvania" event is active, Blade, Jackal, and Igor will be selectable from your Port. Selecting any one of these ships and clicking "Battle!" will put you in the queue for a "Saving Transylvania" battle!

As you escort the Transylvania, you'll have three missions you can complete for rewards.

Mission: Deal 10,000 damage, Reward: 30,000 Credits
Mission: Deal 100,000 damage, Reward: 100,000 Credits
Mission: Destroy 2 Zikasas, Reward: 70,000 Credits
On top of the above missions, everyone on the team gets 100Free XP for each of the following additional achievements:

Transylvania reaches the portal with 50% HP or greater.
Destroy at least 16 Zikasas.
Suppress all catapults on the map.
Transylvania reaches the portal without stopping.
Destroy Rasputin

Right now I'm positively addicted to WOW. I just purchased the Warspite and have now grinded enough to get the Kongo, Kaiser and Wyoming. In the process of upgrading them all. Had some cruisers but sold them. Not my type of play. I go from one extreme to another as I only like playing BB's or DD's. Have two premium DD's, Kamikaze and Lo Yang. Love the Yang and in my 3rd try with her I put four fish into an enemy BB and took her down. Sunk right after that one, but what a ride in that match. Really love this game!

Another one claimed! ^-^ >:D

Just had a really good game with my Kaiser - 6 ships killed before a sneaky destroyer with a handful of hit points ended me. Still, probably my best game ever! O0.

So...a few days ago Steven Seagal was in a competition to be a winnable captain:

And now today Putin makes him a Russian citizen:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37858513

So does that mean he is now a special winnable Russian only captain?

I think I'll skip this offer...I like my own captains...

Re: Steven Seagal captain thing

They must've been channeling that old movie where he was a Ninja Cook on USS Missouri. ;D

Soooo....

When are the announced German Destroyers coming, I wonder.

I was solo'ing for a bit this AM.

2ndACR said he was working until early this afternoon, but he'd get in touch on his way back. I expect he'll be showing up before too long.

Tuna · November 19, 2016, 02:12:56 PM

Mabye I'll be available as well, resting my knees a bit right now.

^Thanks for the heads up Steve. With a couple of strategic purchases I was able to secure a couple of free port slots.

Fubuki should be fun as a tier VI, it never really seemed to fit as a tier VIII. Kagero VIII doesn't interest me but the Atsuki VII looks like a keeper.

Nefaro · November 30, 2016, 03:27:38 PM

The Tier 7 looks like a keeper. Too bad Ialready blasted through that tier long ago, and now have to save up to get the Tier 9. Which is about as enticing as the old Tier 9 was (not much).

Pretty much the Tier 7 and Tier 10 is the highlight of the regular Japanese DD line now.

Thanks for yet more torpedo nerfs, Wargaming. <:-) Maybe I'll just stick to playing my max'd out Gearing and Fletcher DDs. :-\
