Wolfswetpaws Posted Thursday at 03:25 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:25 PM (edited) Was participating in the Red October 2024 event, as a Bounty Ship, yesterday. Put my Hatsuharu and her crew through their paces. It's not their first Pirate/Bounty event. The Hatsuharu is definitely not over-powered, though, as attested by the number of sinkings and defeats experienced over the course of 21 battles. That said, there were some sweet moments when the figurative "A-Team Plan" came together and some "special achievements" were earned. Specifically: "Elusive Bounty" "Win and survive 5 battles while playing a ship designated as a Bounty" "Hunter Bounty" "Destroy an enemy ship designated as a Bounty while also helming a Bounty ship." "Decoy Mission" "Receive 1,000,000 HP of potential damage and finish among the top 3 XP earners on your team. The allied ship designated as a Bounty must survive the battle." Can be viewed/verified via my public profile. https://profile.worldofwarships.com/achievements/1031789485 Edited Thursday at 03:26 PM by Wolfswetpaws 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snargfargle Posted Thursday at 04:23 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:23 PM (edited) No Kraken but still a pretty good game. I might have got the Kraken if their last ship had zigged instead of zagged as I got away a good spotter salvo. Got the Decoy achievement though. My little sub buddy and I had quite a time of it in the early match. 20241017_110215_PASB518-Massachusetts_15_NE_north.wowsreplay Edited Thursday at 04:31 PM by Snargfargle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silence_CN Posted Thursday at 05:29 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:29 PM Nothing to be proud of ? Even in Operations, 13 ships sunk is my record. so... Boise and its PanAm counter part Nueve de Julio are very good ships with no real flaws. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ency Posted Thursday at 07:27 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:27 PM (edited) I managed to get 1 Bounty point with T11 DD. Then i looked the Bounty scoreboard and seems that 1 point doesn't achieve there anything. Also my 1 point wasn't counted because i clicked the Join leaderboard button later after getting that point, so i have 0 points.

Sounds like they've run this event through the usual WG optimization procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethervox Posted Friday at 02:42 AM Share Posted Friday at 02:42 AM As usual, quitting play as soon as I see a WG auto-cheat. Won 2 then saw a complete garbage match set up by WG MM to be a loss. This game is becoming a %$#&* joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We miss every shot that we don't take. 😉 Sure, take a break for mental-health purposes or to relieve stress. But, understand that the matchmaker is like rain. It falls on the just and the unjust, and simply doesn't care what you think about it. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, Karasu, I read the Wedgie shill about this event & I'm not going to bother to participate. Sure, if I see a bounty ship, as I play randoms, I will try to sink it - get some token - cash those in (for anything useful War Failing might offer). 7 hours ago, Admiral_Karasu said: optimization procedure. Ya, the procedure to increase the Wedgie sucker play. There will be the usual overabundance of sub-par players. 😒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ency Posted Friday at 06:43 AM Share Posted Friday at 06:43 AM I managed to get the Fist medal in the Bounty thing. I must say WG has made Randoms more interesting for me. I think WG does almsot everything well, they invent all kind of new motivations, and so you can't get so bored. The only thing i complain is that the company supports and does itself thievery. That i don't like, but it is a small issue, small fraud. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case you, or anyone else, didn't notice. You have three 100% temporary coupons that you can use to buy three 'bounty' markers for yourself, avoiding the 100 000 credit cost. You can get at least three games playing as a bounty, or more if you avoid being 'collected' in battle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogHammer Posted Friday at 12:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:58 PM I was not even a bounty, nor do I pay that much attention to potential damage. But I sure felt that during this battle, I was a favorite target of the red team. Just under 3.5 million potential damage (lol). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also looks to have paid off handsomely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aethervox Posted Friday at 10:23 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:23 PM After seeing 3 Ws in a row playing NB randoms I quit while I was ahead. I played a T6, a T3 & a T2 ship. Oddly enough, although there were only 3 human players a side on the two low tier random battles, these two battles were close, well played on both sides. I handed out compliments to all on the T2 one. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viridem Posted Saturday at 02:54 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:54 PM The score in that ranked match was very nice, but the real achievement was getting 4 points of karma. People were nice in chat, too! That's, in a way, a dream match! Replay and other screenshots here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_Simpleton Posted Monday at 12:01 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:01 PM I know I'm a little late about posting this battle in the Iparanga but it was a record BXP for me. The trouble is, I don't remember the battle. The replay dropped off the replay list. I just happened to notice the new BXP record set in 10Oct24 while checking my stats after yesterday's incredible win streak. I still haven't broken above 46%, though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2_2 Posted Monday at 05:53 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:53 PM Good and demanding battle with my stock Izumo on my second account. Pleased with the result as second and ranked among elite div players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
