Translation: the second set of Arpeggio missions have gone up for the EU server, as well as the SEA server.

On SEA, the mission set runs until the end of March and rewards you with the Kirishima Kongou variant, as well as Iona as a commander (I'm not sure whether you get Kirishima's Mental Model as well at this stage). The four missions are pretty straight forward "deal damage" tasks, starting at 200,000 damage and increasing by 200,000 each time (not cumulative, so you will have to deal a maximum of 2,000,000 damage - hardly that difficult). There is also no Tier limit for these missions either. If you start a new account during March, all you have to do is research your first Tier V ship to get the Kirishima ship and Iona commander - you'll get reimbursed in credits if you complete the missions too.

On EU, it's actually different this time, and there's two sets of missions lasting until the end of April.

The first is a set of four missions that alternates between damage dealing and making hits with your main guns (a high ROF ship will be best for those latter ones, obviously). The sequence is 1,000,000 damage, 2,000 hits, 2,000,000 damage and 3,000 hits (not cumulative). Your rewards for each mission will be Haruna's Mental Model, Haruna herself, Hiei's Mental Model, and Hiei herself in that order. Haruna's missions have a minimum requirement of Tier V, and Hiei's missions have a minimum requirement of Tier VII.

The second is a set of three missions - destroy 100 enemy ships, deal 10,000,000 damage and then get into the top 2 EXP earners in a successful battle. Minimum Tier is VII. Your reward for this is Hiei's Mental Model with sixteen free skill points!

No news yet on what NA's next set of Arpeggio missions are.

Re: World of Warships - Now Available
These missions are so much easier than the previous set. Mostly just dealing damage, and also no longer restricted to just random battles. GJ wargaming, its almost like you are learning.
Urutorahappī!!

Re: World of Warships - Now Available
I wish they actually had the correct ships modeled instead of just dressing up Hiei in different colors.  Hell I'd take a late war Kongō or Haruna at Tier VI if they tightened the dispersion a bit.

Re: World of Warships - Now Available
As I have complained before, wargaming is taking the absolute lowest amount of effort possible for this arpeggio crossover event.

No news yet on what NA's next set of Arpeggio missions are.

Most likely something similar to the SEA event, considering that events are usually not the same between EU and NA.
Which not only lead to discussions regarding the ARP missions, far more important is the - sofar - NA only announcement that the Saipan will be available. 
Didn't follow the threads regarding Prem CVs that closely, but i think there will be a second ****storm ( the Kamikaze R event was the first) should the Saipan for whatever reasons be NA only.
Reason for this is, that there were rumors about a testrun on one server only. Folks are already collecting logs of wood and sharpen their pitchforks.

This gonna be interesting, as there are a lot of people on the opposite side who don't want a Premium CV at all and are afraid it might be OP.

I'll gonna stack up my supplies of popcorn, this will certainly be entertaining.^^

Re: World of Warships - Now Available
Saipan was a standard tree ship in the US CV line before they added Bogue and bumped up the Indy.  I don't recall it being particularly overpowered or anything, its the same cruiser hulled carrier conversion as Indy.   I think the majority of the opposition to the Prem CV concept isn't because they would be OP but rather that they have a bit of a learning curve to use effectively and the prospect of a bunch of complete noobs ineffectually flailing about with a medium or high tier CV doesn't bode well for your team.

That of course too, but the majority of people opposing this, fears that the Saipan may come with two TB squads, which would clearly have an advantage over other US CVs with their 1TB setup.
There is of course a lot of fear mongering going on, and i highly doubt that WG will sell the Saipan with a 2TB setup, but you never know.

Intriugingly enough, there were 2 DEV Q&As with conflicting information regarding the Premium CV, which only pured more gasoline in an already brisk fire.
The one statement was, that the DEVs don't know yet if they gonna sell Premium CVs at all.
The other one stated they are considering it and had a poll about Premium CVs, but don't know how exactly they going to approach that as they don't want noobs or people who never played CVs or can't play them good, to buy one and then screw up the games, as you mentioned above.

Two or three days later someone posted the news announcement from NA...

So yeah, there are preparations on both sides to lit up a bonfire, which eventually will become a funeral pyre - as it in most occasions does.
And WG is at the receiving end.

Sometimes, no matter what you do, it just isn't enough.
Our DDs didn't quite get the meaning of "...pls cap B...", "...CAP B..." and "CAP B ffs...".  :(

Re: World of Warships - Now Available
Heard something about the germans won't get a CV line.
Any news about that?
I mean, apart from the Graf Zepellin and B, no CVs had started construction and the Kriegsmarine planned only four CVs, two 20.000ton and two 12.000ton ships.
According to this, it would be plausible to scratch the german CV-line.
But then again...

... Wargaming has done entire tank trees based on purely speculative and prototype designs.

Re: World of Warships - Now Available
My understanding is the problem isn't just ships but aircraft.  Both the VMF and KM had a few ship prospects they never really fleshed out the aviation assets.

True, but in one of the recent Q&As, one of the Devs mentioned that the RU Navy will eventually get CVs at some point in the future, while the KM will not.
I can't see a problem here - giving the Km the same treatment as the RU Navy -, as the number of paperships already ingame and upcoming is quite huge.

Re: World of Warships - Now Available
I think the basic problem is Hermann Goering. (Now there's a non-surprise.)

The KM simply didn't have interest in carriers because of Herr Goering, so even in terms of paper ships there are only a few viable designs. (Four or so, realistically.) That's counting paper. WG would have to completely make up more than half the line, and would lack aircraft for the majority of it as well. That's just too much.
