Winter 2016 Event

Revision as of 16:02, 11 February 2016 by Totaku (talk | contribs) (→‎E-1)

Introduction

The Winter 2016 Event Sortie! Operation Rei-Go is planned to start on February 10th, 2016 at 1900 JST. The event will be based off of Operation Rei-Go, a one day battle that took place along Mindoro Island where the IJN counterattacked US forces staging a landing on December 26th, 1944.

The Event is composed of only three maps, and allows for difficulty selection like in previous events. The Hard difficulty will be more difficult compared to usual event maps.

The first two stages will be themed on Operation Rei-Go and the Final Stage will be an Extra Operation, a "What If" scenario focusing on an Interception Mission.

In addition, it will feature battles against land based air units and a new gimmick system in E-3 that will be different from the usual armor reduction gimmick.

It's also been noted that for the first two maps, fleet requirements will be flexible; this will vary depending on the difficulty setting.

Information

New Ships

Currently, 3 new ships are slated to appear as part of the event. The ships we are aware of so far are:

  • An Akizuki Class Destroyer that bravely sacrificed herself to protect some members of the Ozawa fleet, allowing them time to escape. She was commissioned and struck from the list during winter. It has been confirmed that this is Hatsuzuki and she will be a reward for clearing E-2.
  • The February issue of Comtiq Magazine revealed that a Yuugumo-class Destroyer is being added during the event. It's been noted that this ship also fought in the same battle as Hatsuzuki and sunk soon afterwards. This turns out to be Okinami.
  • Finally, February's Comtiq Magazine revealed that a foreign ship is expected to appear in the Extra Operation Map. Based on early results this may be the Zara.
  • In addition, it been confirmed from a series of tweets that ships from past events will appear in this event as drops, most likely Graf Zeppelin, Mizuho, Akitsushima and Amagi.

New Equipment

New Abyssals

New Abyssal Land Based planes: Abyssal Land Based Bomber and Abyssal Land Based Bomber Ace

    • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
  2. It's been noted that the Extra Operation will involve a use a new gimmick that will not be related to the armor reduction gimmick.
  3. There does not appear to be any shiplocking this event.
