Spring 2015 Event

Introduction

The Spring 2015 Event Announcement! Operation 11 [発令！第十一号作戦] is (tentatively) set to start on April 28th, 2015 and end on May 17th. The event will be based upon the planned Operation 11.

Like the Winter 2015 Event, it will have selectable difficulties: Operation A (Hard), Operation B (Medium), and Operation C (Easy). This difficulty will be 'locked in' after the second map, and your choice of ships will also be frozen starting at the halfway point. There are numerous predictions that this will be a long event, and that the maps will be relatively difficult as compared to previous events, so teitoku are encouraged to prepare for the coming challenge. The event will last for 20 days.

<countdown finishmessage="The event has begun!" time="04/28/2015 07:00 PM UTC+900"> <D> days, <H> hours, <M> minutes and seconds remaining until the Spring 2015 Event begins. </countdown>

Patch Notes

1. New Ships
   • Two Italian BB sisters from the "main force" will be one of the drops from completing the event, presumably from the Littorio class.
   • At least one new CV will be a reward for clearing E-2.
2. New Enemy Vessels
   • 　Don't miss it!
3. New Equipment
   • 　Don't miss it!

Mechanics

Participation requirements

• Must have a 75% sortie win ratio
• Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships
• Must have 20 free equipment slots

Special Mechanics

1. The difficulty system from the Winter 2015 Event will be present, with three levels: Operation A (Hard), Operation B (Medium) or Operation C (Easy).
   • However, you must have cleared at least Operation A or Operation B on the previous map to access Operation A (Hard) difficulty for the following map.
   • The difficulty you select will affect most rewards (including experience gain and ship drops). The only exceptions are ships rewarded as map clear bonus.
2. The ship-locking mechanic will have full sway in this event:
   • Ships used in E3 cannot be used in E4 on medium or hard.
   • Ships used in E3 or E4 cannot be used in E5 on medium or hard
3. E2 and E4 will use the Combined Fleet mechanic.
