Arpeggio missions have been announced, though this is for EU so far.

Looks to be similar to the Emden missions in that they are 3 step missions. Thought they only work when you're in the Yokosuka port. Nice rewards to be had, even if you don't want the anime boats.

We'll see if us on NA get the same rewards or not, given the poo poo rewards we got for the Christmas missions compared to some of the other servers. Still, free Kongo and Myoko that come with their own port slot, so can't complain too much regardless.

I guess I'm just terrible at this game because that never happens to me. I know where the citadels are, I just can't hit them. Especially not 3 citadels in one shot.

Pretty much this. I tend to shoot just a bit short of the citadel, or hit the decks. When it comes to citadel hits, I have the accuracy of an Imperial Stormtrooper.

I'll have some games that suck and then I'll have games where everything just clicks (an appropriate distance ahead of the citadel). It's all about prediction.

Next item up for me: trying to figure out how to make the colors not so horribly washed out. Its probably because I'm using a 1 bit mask and I think the game expects a greyscale one.

"i almost dead"
"ill gaurd carrier"

said the DD.

And then two cruisers and a destroyer clustered up and ate every torp from an enemy DD, dying all at once in our cap.

"u suc CV how many kils you got -0"

They said to the fighter-fit CV that shot down every plane from the enemy strike-fit carrier, as the game was lost.

I mean, they're not wrong. But they're not right, either...

And the Arpeggio missions have hit the US.
http://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/arpeggio-blue-steel-debut/

Some pretty hardcore second steps to unlock both ships, 150 plane kills and 300 fires set.

Also, a repeatable mission with a VERY nice reward...

Well it's easier at certain tiers and against certain ships. This was from a Yamato against the notoriously weak Izumo and I see such hits a lot against Izumos, cause of their bad armor and the massive magazines in the forward section.

The Murmansk at tier V is another contender and can do a ton of damage against other cruisers when using AP and aiming for the mid along the waterline. But of course there is also a certain luck factor to it.

Equally important they say you can turn off the work-safe hentai stuff by deactivating the children's cartoon port, does that mean they just revert to a normal non-shameful premium version of the ship if you run a decent harbor?

I just had the most amazing thing happen while in my murmansk. Me an enemy murmansk traded shots through out, but after dancing away for a bit to deal with some dds that wanted to play in too tight a quarters with me, we got back to the matter at hand. The fight ended with the guy putting his ship in full reverse keeping his nose at me as much as possible while I was charging full steam towards him. It was really the oddest thing to watch.

I guess I'll just have to dull the pain by getting a neon atrocity Kongo and consistently drilling things in the citadel. Seriously I have no idea what's going on with that ship and me but I don't want it to stop.

Can you even get these neon ships at all? I don't get how this works. I see the anime port and all but what triggers the ships to be cartoon nonsense?

The biggest thing is, will they allow you to train your IJN crews on the ships.. or not. I think the answer to that is no.

Oh yeah, got my Fubuki back just in time before the discount ran out. Celebrated it by brutaly dismantling a Blys in my first action. With my guns. Poor pubbie. First salvo blew his engines, he hit repair and then my second salvo blew out his engines again. And his rudder and a gun turret and set him on fire. Poor guy landed a single shell hit on me before dying in a gunfight against a japanese tincan. :haw:

What's going on is that you're playing the Kongo. It's probably the most fun ship in the game and if anyone can't do well in it, he should probably stop playing battleships permanently.

Afaik the anime botes come with a fixed commander that you can't remove from the ship.

The anime missions are hella easy and you have two months to do them.

Unfortunately, you can't train your IJN captains on them or sell them once you get them so the rewards are kinda useless.
