World of Warships

00:00:00

00:02:41 Today, we have a special stream for you. In the past few weeks, you had the chance to vote in 15 different categories for your winner of 2024. And blah, blah, blah. Way too hot in here, especially with the suit and everything. So I will give it to my co-hosts, or basically the hosts for tonight, which will bring you through everything. So here we go.

Begrüßung und Einführung in die Trident Awards

00:03:06

00:03:06 Good evening, everyone, and welcome to this Trident Awards stream, where we'll be going through the 15 categories that you, the playerbase, voted on, including such as Best Camo, Best Tech Tree, and among many others. But, obviously, it's not just me. I'm also joined by Tsunami. Dear gamers, it's a pleasure to host you today on our first ever Trident Award Ceremony. My name is Tsunami, I will be your co-host today, and let's roll. Yes, so first things first, how the giveaways work, which we know that's all what you're interested in.

00:03:36 What will happen is when each category's candidates are announced, you will have a few moments to enter into chat which category you think has won. Once the winner is announced, the bot will draw a randomly selected person who submitted the correct answer, and you will be the one getting the reward. So hopefully that makes sense.

00:03:55 So without further ado, because obviously we've got a lot to get through tonight, let us begin with the first category, which is Best Official Video. So our video team works tirelessly to create the content that showcases upcoming features, educates players with deep dives into historical ships like Yamato, and even produces full-length documentaries to honor those whose contributions have been overlooked for years.

00:04:22 Whether it's a video about a new ship, an event or a historical deep dive, their work brings the game to life.

00:04:34 Ich habe meine persönliche Favourite. So, Chet, du kannst jetzt in-game schreiben, die du denkst, zwischen D-Day, D-Day, Yamato, 10-Hour Ambience Sound oder Frogfathers. Ich bin froh, dass viele von euch die 10-Hour Ambience gefallen haben. Ein paar Recomendationen für das. Das war ein bisschen froh.

00:05:00 My absolute favourite is Frog Fathers. A lot of work went into that work. It was a massive production. Absolutely. And the video is absolutely worth watching. So if you didn't yet, you should certainly find a minute to do it. Or slightly more minutes. Yeah, it's about an hour and 20 minutes long. And it's definitely worth it. If you're not familiar with it, it's about the underwater demolition teams that cleared the beaches on D-Day before the troops landed. Otherwise, it would have been a much messier affair.

00:05:26 Basically also the forefathers to the Seals, as far as I'm aware. I believe their lineage is drawn from there. And also, currently, most of the chat is saying D-Day. D-Day, D-Day, D-Day, D-Day. I see a few Yamatos and a few Frogfathers in between. I think, drumroll, we can start going in with the announcement now. Last chance. The winner for Best Video. I can open this without completely destroying the envelope.

00:05:55 Which I haven't. So for this video, the winner is Naval Legends Yamato.

00:06:06 Yamato ist einer der klassischen Säge des Spiels, mit einer langen und historischen Geschichte, nicht zu sagen, dass sie wahrscheinlich die größten Säge der größten Säge ever gebaut und ever lost sind. Und definitiv, ihr Sinking sicherlich cementet die Ende der Säge der Säge und der Beginn des Aircraft Carrier als die wichtigste Säge afloat. Es ist oft die erste Tier X Säge der Spieler bekommen. Und es ist absolut wert. Oh, absolut.

00:06:34 The video team once again put a lot of effort into putting these videos together and so obviously you voting that this was one of their best works is something that they are very appreciated of because obviously being a video editor not often a lot that you get to see a lot of the comments. So again from us here and for that team thank you very much for picking it.

00:07:01 We also tonight have some extra little tidbits of information. We teased a few of them in previous streams, including detonations, since that mechanic was removed. But we also now have some extra info that El Fruttini will be sprinkling into tonight's awards show for a couple of the sort of things that you were always curious about, such as how far did ships travel in the air? And also...

00:07:28 Which was the last ship to detonate on each of the servers? We know. We also know which ship was the least detonated, which I think the answer would actually quite surprise you.

00:07:41 So, the voice from the deep again. We have the highest win rate of a named bot, or, well, in general, the highest win rate of a bot in all game modes was the Saipan, with, on the EU server, 68.2%, on the NA server, 68.6%, and on the Asia server, so our CRL, 91.5%. So, be aware, if you're playing any of these modes and you have a Saipan in your team,

00:08:10 The chances are highly likely that you will win. Or the bot will win. It's not a ship or a name that you would ever think would have such a high win rate. But yes, so again, Yamato, Naval Legends, definitely worth a watch. And also leave a comment. Let our team know how much you enjoy these sorts of things. So they know to make more in the future. But without further ado, we need to move on to the next category.

Gewinner 'Best Community Tournament' und Gastauftritt

00:08:37

00:08:37 which is the Best Community Tournament. This award celebrates the grassroots efforts that keep our competitive scene thriving. Many of us on the team before joining as staff were players first and some perhaps playing a bit too much. But we all remember participating in smaller community tournaments, watching them grow stronger over time.

00:09:01 From Blood Minister's Reign of Terror in Team League, to the unforgettable moments in World of Warships Classic, which of players relive their favorite ships, these events shape our community. And then there's Enterprise, a tournament so unique that when I first heard how the format worked, I was honestly disappointed that I couldn't actually enter. One of the downsides being Wargaming now. Without these player-driven events, the game wouldn't be the same. So, which one was the best?

00:09:34 The nominees are Team League, Enterprise Tournament, World of Warships Classic, and Clash of the Clans. Clash of the Classes. Clash of the Clashes, yes. Long day, it's quite warm. Well, let's hope we won't cook here. No. Until the end, at least. Otherwise, one of the most popular Twitch clips of this year will be us passing out.

00:10:00 So one clip that? I think there will be a great amount of excellent clips and images this week. Yes, but also we have not just us announcing the awards today, we do have some special guests. So while everyone gets ready and swaps around so we can get all that working for you, who do you think won?

00:10:27 Let us know in chat. Yes. Like I said, you got to get the right name and I believe it is Spellinger Sensitive. So you can't just mash the keyboard. So while we wait for our special announcer to come on stage.

00:10:53 Wir sehen uns auch, dass King of the Sea, als eine Community-Driven Tournament, das wir dann überlassen haben, und es weitergeht. Und Jahr auf Jahr hat es mehr und mehr Erfolg. Und wir hoffen, dass ihr wirklich Spaß habt. Ja, und wir hoffen, dass dieses Jahr ein Tournament, dass ihr euch interessiert, sowohl öffentlich und auch Community.

00:11:16 Und der Winner ist... Wir brauchen den E-Thing, bitte. Gib mir einen Moment, bitte. Ich denke, das wäre ein bisschen besser. Das ist absolut chaotisch. Das ist der erste Mal, wenn wir das versuchen. Es ist nicht so smooth, wie es ist. Es ist absolut chaotisch. Ich denke, ich habe das gehört, von einem Freund, von einem Freund, der wir alle kennen und lieben, und die vielleicht später machen wir eine Appearance. Du kannst du wissen, wie es sein wird.

00:11:45 Ich sehe, dass ein Switcher-Room ist, als auch. Oh, nein. Ich schaue... Oh, careful! Ich schaue nichts. Was ist das Event ohne jemanden zu sterben? So, und ohne weiterzunehmen, wir haben unsere Speciale Announzer für die gewinne Kategorie der Best Tournament.

00:12:07 Hello, everyone. I'll be announcing the winner of the best community tournament. And let me just open the envelope, which hopefully I'll be able to open in a not so disruptive format. I am just showing the envelope in the process.

Gewinner 'Best Dockyard', Schadensstatistik und 'Best Update'

00:12:25

00:12:25 So, the winner is the Vow's Classic Tournament. And I have some interesting things to read about it as well. As Vow's Classic enters its 8th season, it is a great reminder that while mechanics and ships evolve, the classics remain some of the most reliable and beloved choices. This tournament celebrates them, drawing hundreds if not thousands of players and spectators alike.

00:12:54 And then the next category we'll have is best dockyard. What do you guys think the next dockyard, or the best dockyard, is going to be in the future? Indeed. Let's switch to me in the meantime while there is shuffling shenanigans in the background, and then we can hand it over to Tsunami again.

00:13:25 Best Dockyard category, of course. With four Dockyard events this year, I know what you're thinking. Whisky's got this in the bag, right? Or maybe I'm crazy for really liking Michelangelo. The incredible work of our modelers often goes unrecognized, but they truly bring these events to life. They meticulously create each ship twice, once for the event and once for the final product.

00:13:52 so players can enjoy watching the process unfold. It's a fun favorite aspect of Dockyard, and this year nominees reflect that passion. So the nominees for the Best World of Warships Dockyard this year are Michelangelo, Almirante Aquanto, New Art and Wisconsin. I know you all have your own favorites, but please drop them in the chat for the chance to win some tasty prizes. And I will read the results in a moment.

00:14:23 I'll just pick a little.

00:14:27 I will throw in the meantime a little tidbit up again. And the amount of damage caused on all of our servers together over the cause of 2024 was 44.3 trillion. So well done everyone. Shooting a lot, shooting a ton, hitting a ton with basically all sources of possibilities in all our game modes. So 44.3 trillion.

00:14:56 Is it already the time to spoil the fun? Come on, players, type, type, type. Okay, I think that's the time. And the winner is drumroll.

00:15:27 Wisconsin roll out the cheese, because Wisconsin takes no prisoners. And you all seem to agree, as she was the most popular dockyard of 2024. Absolutely. Worth the praise.

00:15:50 However, with combat instructions and improved dispersion, she quickly became a community favorite. And before anyone asks, we haven't forgotten about New Jersey. And the next category is going to be Best Update. But wait a moment for it, because we'll do a little switcheroo.

00:16:14 Indeed, I'm back again. I expected not to be as often here, but oh well, I guess I will just have to keep on my jacket in the meantime while we do the switcher rules.

00:16:30 So, yes, Wisconsin, a fan favourite, and definitely a personal favourite of my own. But, as Tsunami announced, the next category will be the best update. 12 updates in 12 months, that's a lot of work across multiple teams. Some updates are quiet here, while others are packed with features like D-Day, Operations, and Bounty Hunting. The launch of new tech trees, without our dedicated teams, none of it would be possible. So, which updates stood out the most? Was it the Wisconsin Dockyard?

00:16:59 Was it the Anniversary event? Was it Christmas? Was it the Bounty Hunt in Red October? Which do you think of all of them was the best? So the nominees are 13.8th, 9th Anniversary, 13.3, Wisconsin Dockyard, 13.10, Star Trek, and 13.11, Christmas and the Holiday Update.

00:17:26 I know which my favourite of that is. And actually, my favourite's not even on, which is a bit of a shame.

00:17:36 But obviously, a lot of work goes into making sure that every update has stuff in it. It's a tight schedule and all our teams work around the clock to make sure that everything is working and ready. Obviously, we're not omnipotent. Some bugs do slip through and obviously we do try to get around them as soon as we can. So which of these four candidates do you think won as best update of 2024?

00:18:16 Und der Winner ist... Mal sehen, ob ich das besser machen kann. Ich werde die Envelopes destroyen.

Gewinner 'Best Update', 'Best Twitch Clip' und Ankündigungen

00:18:30

00:18:30 The winner is, probably with no one's surprise, Update 13.11, the Holiday Update. With Santa crates, the event passes, the special Christmas port, the Christmas update is always a highlight, packed with festive content and, of course, those highly anticipated Santa crates. This year, with the improved flake mechanics, everything ran even smoother. Not to mention the incredible effort put into crafting the Christmas port and tree. The team was thrilled to see their hard work so well received by players.

00:19:02 Also, so coming up next will be the best Twitch clip of 2024. And for this one, we have a very special guest. Indeed, I think the one everyone waited for, the one everyone expects, and the one that brings chaos and has teached me how to bring chaos. Without further ado, I give the word over to, of course, the one and only Mr. Conway.

00:19:30 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you can hear me. I hope I unmuted myself correctly. If not, you may indeed still blame Conway. It's fantastic to see all of you again. It's been a long time. Now, for the Twitch Clip category, whether it's Murphy's Law striking at the worst moment or hilarious pie-to-the-face, Clips capture some of our best moments throughout the year. Thank you to everybody who submitted and voted. Let's see which clip took the crown. Are we going to watch the clips?

00:19:58 No. No, okay. We will find out the clips afterwards. They will be linked in chat and you can watch the best Twitch clip. So, without further ado, the best Twitch clip of the year, as voted by you, our amazing audience, is the Shinano reveal clip.

00:20:20 Given that the release date of Sinano was in... I'm sorry. That's correct. 23, 1979? We did the math. We did the math. They did the math. That would have been a release date. Well, so every time you guys mentioned the ship, we joked that it was going to be delayed another month. And if we had actually stuck to this, 23, 1979 would have been the date. They did the math.

00:20:47 I wonder if they did the math correctly, but it sounds like it. Well, I guess that's it for the best Twitch clip. Please make sure to check out the clip. That's linked in chat. And also please make sure to in future have a look at what we're doing on Twitch. And make sure to hit that like button for more amazing stuff. Thank you very much. See you soon.

00:21:10 Indeed. Thank you, Mr. Conway. It is always a pleasure to have you here. Guys, we will take a quick break. I need to get a few things sorted. I mean, otherwise... Actually, maybe we can have Mr. Binny on stage again. Do you want me to do the thing? Which thing are we doing? We have things. We have things for you today. Yes, we do. Although, I must say, it will be first...

00:21:38 Just things. While I give the word to Mr. Bin, I will leave you with another interesting tidbit, because the distant travel total in 2024 by all of you was 21.2 billion kilometers together, which is also quite an interesting sound. I should have calculated how many Earth circumstances that is, but I'm pretty sure someone in chat will find that out for me. In the meantime, off to Bin, on to the stage.

00:22:07 und er hat einige Fun Facts für euch.

00:22:12 Yes, so, while we don't have the image with it right now, for those of you who were paying attention to yesterday's Polish stream, obviously one of the most highly requested ships from the Polish community, Biskowica, or Lightning, and I do apologise for my attempt and likely butchered pronunciation, but she was announced, Biskowica 44, which hopefully we should have some more details coming soon.

00:22:40 Not only that, obviously, again, thank you to everyone who's joined us tonight. I hope you do all appreciate all the hard work and effort we've put into making this sort of unusual format stream. We've never done anything like this before. And all in all, I hope that if you do like this and there will be sort of a satisfaction survey afterwards to make sure that if you've got anything that you'd like us to do better, because obviously this is the first time we've ever done anything like this.

00:23:17 So hopefully soon we'll be moving on to the next category. Once obviously all the technical gremlins are worked out, you should see just how many lights are currently pointed at me.

00:23:36 So, obviously, as we move over, here she is in her British configuration with her twin 102mm guns. Obviously, so for the more details will follow. Don't worry yet. But she is here now. We announced her. She was announced at the Guinea offline event last year.

00:24:00 But obviously, all in all, but I'm obviously not the best person to talk about this, so obviously we will bring out our special Polish community manager, who was so keen on announcing it and showing it off. And now the Brits took it from him. It's alright, the Americans took Rodney from me. What goes around comes around, but not in this way. But obviously we can now...

00:24:24 sort of swap over, so that we can bring on Unruh, who can hopefully also announce the next category.

Ankündigung der Błyskawica 44 und Details

00:24:50

00:24:50 not all that's not going according to the plan but hello everyone nice to see you all i hope you are having a pretty interesting evening so yes for those of you that actually who uh did go into the yesterday's polish community stream i already had a huge privilege to announce that yes with comita 44 the modernized version of our most famous uh destroyer is entering the game you can see how beautiful she looks

00:25:19 It's a more accurate version and closer version to the ship that is right now a museum ship in Gdynia. There's still some options, like the ship was modernized a bit later, also after the war, but here we have an example. We have a ship that was modernized during the Second World War, one of the most famous destroyers ever, and the oldest destroyer that is preserved as a museum ship right now in the world.

00:25:48 So, yeah, how will Buzkavica in the game? She will have really interesting features. So, she will be armed only with AP guns, with AP shells, which will have an improved ricochet angle. Also, she will have long-range torpedoes, pretty similar to those that are present on Ulland, the European destroyer of tier 8.

00:26:12 Also, she will have a Hydro of a really good range, 5 km, together with a hill. So, it should be a really interesting ship in combat. The thing that will be different a bit, she won't have a smoke generator, so it will be a really kind of ship prepared for good close combat and pretty interesting engages with other destroyers.

00:26:41 Hope the concept will be liked by you, by all of the players, not only the Polish ones. Chip will go into the testing fairly soon. All the specific details of the stats you can find in our newest dev blog that will be published. Fuck again. Okay, that went correctly. So what did I miss or what did the viewers miss?

00:27:10 Everything. Okay. So again, hello again. Nice to see you all again. The ship that you are seeing on the screen, I already announced yesterday on the Polish community stream. So obviously we are getting at last the modernized version of Błyskawica settled in 1944, the most famous destroyer of Second World War. And actually the first one, which was in combat during whole the period of war.

00:27:39 Sie war ein Teil von vielen Kampagnen und wir haben sie jetzt in eine viel modernisierte Version. Die größte Unterschiede ist natürlich die GANs layout. Die Gophers GANs sind hier verwendet für die britische 102 mm GANs. Soon you will have the option to see the Deathblock, where you will find the concept of the ship, that we are planning to add to the game.

00:28:05 The main idea here is Błyskawica will be a really interesting ship for engage other destroyers. She will be armed only with AP guns with improved Ricochet angles. She will have a heel. She will have a 5 km Hydro. And she will be also armed with European destroyers, European torpedoes similar to the ones that are now on Ulland, the European destroyer at Tier 8.

00:28:34 What she won't have, she won't have a smoke screen, but she's designed to go and engage closely to other ships. So yeah, the general stats of the ship, the concept of the ship you will quite soon could find on our devlog. So pay at least a bit more attention to it and you can see.

00:29:01 The whole concept of the ship. I hope you will like it. So yeah, it will be still in the testing phase. So many things can change, but I would say here the most beautiful destroyer in the world is entering the game in a newer version. So yeah, now we can go to the next category. The next category is the best feature.

00:29:23 Our game trifft in these features, whatever their new ship lines, premium ships or other interesting concepts.

00:29:36 So, now we will look closer to the most interesting features that are in our game. So, as we have new ship lines, premium additions, or in new game modes, everyone is asking how to include them. We changed a bit last year with removing the detonations.

00:30:05 Some new features are being added and some old ones which were kind of controversial sometimes are being removed from the game. So the winner is the most popular feature. Yeah, let's see the nominations.

00:30:34 Okay, so the nominations are, the first one is custom events. The second one is high tier ships in operations. That was one that was requested for a really long time. And I would say that that should be a strong competitor for the title. And then we have the display of the ship parameters in the battles.

00:31:01 And the Festive Rewards updates. So, now it's the time for you to think or do the kind of guessing which nominated feature actually won. Yeah. It's not going with the... Just remember that the voting already happened. And let's see the winner.

Gewinner 'Best Feature', 'Best Stream' und weitere Kategorien

00:31:29

00:31:29 So, the best feature is High-Tier Ships in Operations. So, I didn't check it before. That was actually my guess that that will be a winner here. So, I would say congratulations to the feature which gathered the most votes from you guys. And moving to the next category and to the next host. Thank you very much.

00:32:00 absolute craziness here um it's also very hot so now i'm less wearing a bit less but off to the next category with our dear bin ister again

00:32:15 We streamed almost every week.

00:32:45 So, the nominees are the Christmas Holiday Stream, the 9th Anniversary Stream, King of the Sea 17, and the Longest Night of the Museum Stream. I know a lot of you turned in to watch all of them, but obviously the question is, which one do you voted on that you thought was the best?

00:33:09 I think personally my favourite there would be the longest night of the museums given the amount of effort and such that we put into it sending people to several parts of the world and coordinating with all sorts of museum ships with all sorts of knowledge of how video cameras work.

00:33:27 So, I'll give you another moment or so to pick who you think was the winner. In the meantime, I can tell you exactly how many shots were fired to cause the 4.4 trillion damage. Well, damage has any source, of course, in it. But the number of shots fired total for all servers in the year 2024 was 86.2 billion shells fired. That's just main guns.

00:33:55 Das sind nicht sogar secondary guns. So, Impressive. Da, indeed, again. Ich wundere, wie viele von dem war John the Ruthless Colbert?

00:34:04 But without further ado, time to announce the winner for the best stream is King of the Sea 17. Seraphis and the entire King of the Sea team put their blood, sweat and tears into this and I'm sure that they will be incredibly thrilled that all their work has been recognised here tonight. The amount of effort and pre-planning it takes just to have the stream ready to go is immense. We're talking months of planning, dozens of meetings.

00:34:32 And so many people contributed, and it's great to see the community appreciate their hard work. All in all, though, now it is obviously time to move on to the next category. And so we'll be switching over to the next host. And the next category is Art in 2024. You have casted your votes.

00:35:02 Soon we will show you the four top-running nominees. Okay, there seems to be a bit of a disorder. Well, it's the first time we're running this type of stream, so yeah. Chaos 4. I think we're ready. Let's move on.

00:35:24 So the first one is Dunkirk Operation.

00:35:56 Das ist eine wunderschöne Wunderschöne Wunderschöne Wunderschöne Wunderschöne Wunderschöne Wunderschöne

00:36:28 In the meantime, while we're waiting for the announcement of the winner for the best art in 2024, Chad, do you want to guess how many detonations happened in 2024 before we remove them? You can cast your vote there as well. I certainly added a few there by being detonated mostly.

00:36:50 Meanwhile, ich versuche, meine 2,000 Detonation Flags, die Bin immer angst, als ich sie gezeigt habe. Er sagte, ich habe nur 200 oder so. What surprised mich, gamers, ist, dass es keine Anime-Girls gibt, auf all diese Art. So, maybe next time, versuchen wir es harder.

00:37:12 especially the weebs. Very interesting. So, let me share the total number of detonations in all of the game modes where it was possible, as well over all of our servers, was a total of 8.3 million detonations in 2024, until we removed this feature. We also have a few more fun facts about detonations, which was the last ships, or which was the ships to detonate most, and then a few more tidbits we will share with you later in the coming weeks.

00:37:41 Das sollte interessant sein. Ist es die Zeit, um den Winner zu erwähnen? Ich würde sagen, ja. Und der Winner ist Flagship Operations. Yay! Sehr cool. Nicht sehr demure, aber sehr mindestens. Danke für die Wahl. Und ja, unsere Art Team tatsächlich existiert.

00:38:05 And indeed, their work is quite brilliant. A lot of time goes into each and every art that you can see, download, put into your wallpaper or play around with it. Honestly, I wouldn't mind. Just drop it into Photoshop and scribble something funny there. Maybe even share on one of our Discord servers. And up to the next category. See you later.

00:38:35 In the next category, the best tech tree of 2024.

00:38:46 Oh, yes, so there were four major tech trees that have been before. In turn, the Mighty Ethics, the US Carriers, who are first to have a full Commonwealth brand, the Rogers French torpedo destroyers, the long-awaited Pan-American battleships. You let us know which ones you loved, and you let us know which ones you didn't love. Obviously, these tech trees are the core of our game. Without them, there would be a lot less to do. So, obviously, we've got a... There's four strong candidates this year, I think.

00:39:14 We can all agree that probably my personal favourite was the Commonwealth Cruises. No national bias at all here. But without further ado, make sure to cast your votes.

00:39:27 Just in case anyone was a little confused, we included the tier 10s of the new branches, which are extra to existing nations. So the Cassard line for the French and the Essex line for the Americans, as well as the Commonwealth cruisers and Pan-American battleships.

00:39:51 So, obviously, I think most people probably focussed a lot on the Pan-American battleships. Iparangor, obviously, the day she was revealed in the event pass, a lot of people are playing her, a lot of people still playing her today. It's a solid line. Yes, obviously, the secondaries are always popular. It does allow you to sort of have a bit more fun than, say, trying to try hard in a Slava, compared to Libertad. But, obviously, with the Commonwealth Cruisers, Cerberus, Encounter,

00:40:19 And all of those, we also included some nice new historical ships, including Hobart and Delhi, making sure that we get as much representation for nations who served in those era of time, the representation that they deserve. Because obviously without these historical ships, the game wouldn't be what it is today.

00:40:41 So, without further ado, give you one more moment to cast your votes. I have a strong sneaking suspicion I know what the answer for this one is. But if we are ready, we can now announce the winner of the Best Tech Tree Line of 2024 was the Pan-American Battleships.

00:41:04 No real surprises there. Players love brawlers. Ever since the day of the AP Secondaries on Japanese battleships, Close Quarter Combat has been a fan favorite. These ships deliver that fun in spades. Now obviously on to the next category, which we'll have another special person announcing, the Best Camo. Let's give a big round of applause and welcome to the next presenter.

Gewinner 'Best Camo', abgeschlossene Dockyards und 'Best Meme'

00:41:35

00:41:35 Hey, guys. I really hope that you can hear me well and that I actually unmuted myself because I super rarely use those microphones. Best Camo. I'm a little bit curious why I was assigned to this category, but I actually am very happy about it because camouflages right next to the ships are what makes World of Warships really special about how our team works.

00:42:03 year-round, to make ships look as stunning, or in some ways terrifying, I suppose, as possible. And as we mentioned already a little bit, contrary to popular belief, they do actually exist unless we commune with the spirits on a fairly daily basis, believe it or not. This year they produced some of the best camouflages yet.

00:42:28 While there are still plenty of patterns we haven't explored, the Winning Camo stands out as your favorite. So let's see what are the nominees for this category. We have the Victory Camouflage for St. Vincent. We have the Unmoored for Howdenlue. We have the Wisconsin Warpaint. And we have the Invasion Stripes.

00:42:56 für baltimore personally i really think that all of them are amazing i have my favorite amongst them i will definitely give you a little bit more time to cast your votes in the chat to have the chance to actually win something and get something out of the stream i do have to say i'm a little bit salty about not winning the best twitch clip category that conaway was announcing i really looking at the discord discussion

00:43:25 Thought that I have it in my pocket, but who knows, maybe if I say something funny here during this presentation, I will win it next year. The cat ears would definitely have helped. I'm really surprised that no one pushed me to wear the cat ears.

00:43:44 But you hear the feedback. Anyway, I think we gave the audience enough time to actually cast their votes. And those that are too late, well, you snooze, you lose. The winner for the best camouflage for 2024 is Wisconsin Warpaint. I mean, was there even any doubt? It looks like Wisconsin is not only...

00:44:12 The most popular dockyard of last year. I really hope that we got this category already or I'm spoiling the fun. But also the best camouflage. I honestly love the style. And I'm not really surprised by the result. What I am surprised about is how classic and timeless the design is. And that you guys voted on its winning. While we had some really strong contenders. Like the Unmord camo. Sorry Unmord probably.

00:44:41 which was designed exclusively for the King of the Sea Tournament. It has a lot of detail and is really cool. We had the D-Day-related Baltimore Camo, which also had a lot of really cool detail, yet Wisconsin prevailed. Well, let's applaud the winner and let's continue with the next.

00:45:04 Before we go to the next category, on the topic of dockyards, we have a fun fact for you here as well. The total number of finished dockyards in 2024 over the period of the time was 212,400. So that is the total number of dockyards that were completed by you guys out there, which is an amazing number, I would say. And my personal guess is I haven't gotten the exact numbers for each different ship.

00:45:33 But probably at least half of this is the Wisconsin. Looking at two times taking the win today home, she will have now two extra little trophies earned and maybe we should 3D print some or order some and send them actually over to the Wisconsin team to put on the ship. Thank you to The Voice from Beyond. And the next category will be Best Art.

00:46:02 Wir hatten die Best Art bereits. Nein, wir haben die Best Meme. Saj, wir haben Sie. Natürlich ist es die Best Meme, die Best Kategorie. Und lass mich presentieren Ihre Contenders. Für die Contenders haben wir die Best Update, Sex Update natürlich.

00:46:33 Family Guy Meme, Nelson Superheal, and Japan BB's Be Like. Thank you for fellow DJs and meme creators. We are looking forward for more memes this year. Please, more memes, absolutely. We need more fun and maybe some sadness as well. But it's time to vote for your favorite one. Please grab those peppers and peoples and post them in chat together with your vote.

00:47:02 Let's see who is the winner pretty soon. I know the answer, of course.

00:47:10 Of course, in the meantime, I have some more fun things, and to be honest, I'm not that surprised about the answer to this, because the most played ship, this time I will break it down per server, is on the Asian server, so our CS server, is the Napoli. I think this is in general quite a favorable ship to have and to play, but...

00:47:36 What also doesn't very surprise me is both the EU and NA server prefers a ship that is kind of dear to my heart as well a bit and entered service actually in 2023 in the Christmas Updates event pass because it is Scharnhorst 43. So the faster version of the regular Scharnhorst.

00:48:01 So yeah, that is on EU and NA, the most played ship over all the game modes. Is it time?

00:48:12 Are you ready, gamers? And memers? And weeps? And whoever is there. So, for the best meme category, Nelson's Superheal plus Jeremy Clarkson wins, of course. It's hilarious. And please rate this beautiful homage on our favorite Blood Minister that I've made for you. Thank you. Thank you, gamers. And up to our next category, which is going to be...

00:48:43 Best Community Manager. Not me, so I'll just delete myself from the scene. Thank you.

00:48:59 Now that you've gotten to know the team a bit better, we all have our strengths and weaknesses, but at the end of the day, we wouldn't be here without you, the players. We've made some incredible memories together and met some real characters along the way. The winner? Well, obviously the candidates are the best community manager of World of Warships of 2024, was it? Blood Minister, Bazinga Flux.

00:49:27 Bogsy or myself. I mean, Bin, you're definitely the winner of the hearts because you're now a submarine commander in World of Warships. Yes, I even voiced it. No idea how complicated that is. Audacity.

00:49:50 So, which of you, which of others, I suppose, is your favourite? This one, obviously, the team was very interested in seeing who the winner was. Egos aside, it's always interesting to see who, obviously, the players see as the best. And perhaps an ego or two was bruised once we revealed this to ourselves, because obviously everyone wants to win these sorts of contests.

00:50:16 But obviously, without the community managers, we wouldn't have these amazing streams. A lot of the offline events and such that you've enjoyed in the past wouldn't have happened. Not to mention that we are the ones who take your feedback and pass it on to the team as we continue to make the game as good as it can be.

00:50:34 Though, obviously, all in all, do we have Man from the Void? Another tidbit, or shall we just go straight into it? I do have another tidbit. Okay. Maybe coming together with the best CM is the ship that most detonated in 2024, once again, before it was removed. Oh no, wait, that's not the most detonated ship in 2024. I think that's General, the ship that detonated the most in the career of World of Warships is for the...

00:51:04 Asia server, the Marceau, actually. While on the EU and NA servers, both servers are in this case agreeing on the same ship again, it is Shimakaze or Tegemashi for the Weeps in here. And I just kicked one of our PCs. I should stop doing that. We're still here, aren't we?

Gewinner 'Best Community Manager', 'Community Pillar Award' und neue Schiffe

00:51:27

00:51:27 I think so. It was not the big important PC. Very good. Okay, so... Without further ado, the best community manager of World of Warships for 2024 is... Blood... No, wait, that's not right. I put the wrong answer in this. No, wait, no. The winner is Boggy, our beloved. With his loud shirts, in-depth update info, and larger-than-life personality, it's no surprise he is Boggy, our beloved.

00:51:57 Being the face of the game obviously has its perks. So on to the next category, which was something that we thought about sort of late as we were coming up with this, but we definitely think it's worthwhile. The next category is the Community Pillar Award, an award dedicated to figuring out who you, the community, think amongst yourselves was the most useful, the most helpful, the most creative.

00:52:27 So, without further ado, I will swap over to the host we will be announcing.

00:52:44 Für Pillars of the Community, es gibt viele Worte zu sagen. Es gibt viele Worte zu sagen. Es gibt viele Worte zu sagen. Es gibt viele Leute und Spieler, die viel Arbeit haben, um unsere Spiel besser zu machen, um unsere Community besser zu machen, um unsere Community besser zu machen. Hier und da, und all presentes auf der Internet. Without further ado, wir gehen zu unseren Contenders.

00:53:12 And I'm pretty sure you know a few names here. So, first name is Titaro, of course. Clyde Place, Potato Quality, and Aslan. I know some of you certainly have your favorites, but please put them in chat for the chance to win something or not win something. Please just put something in the chat. We will be happy to read it, especially me after the stream.

00:53:48 I would tell you a joke to fit into this quite awkward silence, but I don't remember any, so just cope. Thank you for staying with us. A few more seconds and we'll go with it.

00:54:13 I can throw in the meantime another fun fact in. Yes, please. The total number of ships destroyed in 2024 was 772.9 million ships that were sunk by you. That is quite long. I mean, imagine if you would be able to collect all the scrap metal from this and sell it. Oh, it would be rich.

00:54:41 oder die größten environmentalen Disasters überhaupt. Are we ready to announce the winner?

00:54:51 Let's go. And the winner is Aslane. Of course, it's Aslane. Thank you, dear person, for making me slightly less useless in my games. And I'm pretty sure many other players can say the same. Amazing work. Thank you for being with us for so long. I really appreciate you staying with us and being a part of something bigger. Thank you.

00:55:18 And of course, Anime Mods mentioned. And up to the next category, which is going to be... It's going to be...

00:55:35 indeed i'm the next category no guys um as i've seen some comments earlier if there is news today yes we announced earlier the tier the new tier eight uh pan-european destroyer um 44 or um if you want to go the german way uh but this is of course not all we have a few more things for you prepared

00:56:02 let me just check if i find the correct ones actually i don't think we have any screenshots for that one right no but i will give it away with our dear killer bin that will give you a bit more information about the new upcoming um i think it's another branch of temporary ships

00:56:29 Yes, so, obviously, as my colleague just announced, there will be three additional temporary mechanic ships added for the game that will follow on for the three that we have currently in testing and you may have encountered already. These will be based on Michelangelo, Congress, and Adatara, but unlike the current branch of ships that were being tested who are main gun focused, these ships will be heavily secondary focused.

00:56:55 with their improved skills, therefore boosting that, because obviously we know how much you players enjoy and like brawling.

00:57:03 So these three ships will go through the same testing process as all others. More information, including the hard numbers, will follow once the dev blog goes live as normal. But these ships, again, will be heavily focused around close quarters combat. And there are a couple of tweaks between the ships. These aren't just full clones with new toys, but probably perhaps the most important characteristic is the battleship.

00:57:27 The Adatara will actually have different main guns. She will carry a set of 410mm weapons instead of her current .457. So that is what I can share with you right now regarding the new upcoming temporary ships. Obviously they'll go through the same testing as all other ships. But do we also have the other thing to share? Okay.

00:57:54 yes the other thing the other ship well we have a few more things of course in this case that is true i can write to see if we get it this time correctly let's see oh that looks good need to find yes there we go

00:58:19 Let's have it. I can already hear the Germans screeching in chat. Oh, I'm sure the others will complain as well. So, upcoming Tier VI Soviet destroyer Provani. And I apologize to Tsunami, who is behind the camera, because I probably just butchered that name. Provani is one of the German destroyers captured at the end of World War II and provided to the Soviet Union as war reparations.

00:58:45 She will, compared to, say, Z-23 and her sisters in the German tree, maintain her classic 150mm gun main armament and is more set up as a sort of much more of a gunboat compared to, say, her peers. So more in line with how Soviet destroyers are like Kiev and the sword. Obviously, we will have the full details and hard numbers for you to all dig into when the dev blog goes live at the usual time.

00:59:13 But yes, this is a new premium Soviet destroyer, which is German. Because at the end of the war, the Kriegsmarine was divvied up between the victorious Allied powers. The Soviet Union got quite a lot of ships. This one, they also got Graf Zeppelin, though they weren't legally allowed to finish her. So they blew her up instead. Also, probably the most famous one that you can probably think of right now is Makarov and Novrasisk, which are Nurnberg and Giulio Cesare, respectively.

00:59:43 So, yes, she will be coming to the game and going into testing. And I actually quite like the look of it. I like the sort of grey colour scheme. I'm looking forward to trying her out, especially because I am not the best Destroyer player. So, obviously, again, to recap what we've announced so far today is Briscovica 44, Provani, and three new temporary secondary focused ships. So, obviously, all the information will be available in the dev blog when it goes live.

01:00:12 But we wanted to sort of spice up this already special stream with some new boats because we know that's usually what you want to know most about.

01:00:27 And I think while we sort all that out, we go back to the man behind the camera. Yes, I'm back. So guys, we will show you all the pictures that we have also going maybe over the DevBlog from yesterday, a bit later in the stream. We have two more categories for you, of course, to announce. We have a few more giveaways to run and roll. So there is also that and something I forgot.

01:00:53 Oh, yes, the dev blog is always up here at 8, so in roughly an hour. Actually, we are very quick, so we will probably afterwards give me a short break, and then we will show you some more gameplay today as well, as is usual. So in this case, I will hand over again to your colleague.

Gewinner 'Best In-Game Event' und 'Best Premium/Special Ship'

01:01:23

01:01:23 I know this day was already pretty eventful, but it's time to announce the best in-game event. And of course, from bounty hunting to D-Day, our in-game events certainly keep the game fresh. And it's time to tell you about our contestants. 80 years of Lady Golf, Star Trek Ops, Expedition to North Pole or D-Day. I certainly have my preference, but I'm special.

01:01:53 Just like all of the modes. Certainly. And all of you gamers as well, of course. I'll give you a little bit of time. Please pick the one you think won this year and we'll go to the results. Tick tock, tick tock.

01:02:23 You can also add which one you grind the most, because I know there are few of you who spend all of your time in those operations or events.

01:02:37 And also, is it, is that true that all of our players are actually historically focused? I don't think so. Maybe some of you are sci-fi fans, most of all, just enjoy swimming through the sea after work. Please share. Few more seconds.

01:03:10 Do we have a winner? Let's go to the results. And the winner is, wait, I don't even have to open it. I sense it. The winner is our track ops, right? Yes. Easy. We both went where we hadn't gone before and you enjoyed the journey as well. Indeed. So worth it. And all the lasers and stuff, cool stuff.

01:03:45 Let's hope and pray we'll see something like that in the future as well. Thank you for making it such a success. And up to our next category, pretty quickly. And up next, the best premium or special ship of 2024 that you voted for.

01:04:16 Yes, so 2024 saw the arrival of some incredible ships, whether it was the Bismarck bashing Rodney, the sneaky torpedo menace La Pamper, or the fan-favorite Hildebrand.

01:04:28 ... ... ... ... ...

01:04:55 Community favorites, and one of the most accurate battleships in the game. But which one do you all think was the winner? Of LaPampa, Tennessee, Hildebrand, or Minigumo? A lot of strong categories there. We've got a torpedo boat destroyer that a lot of people like. I know Bazinga was a big fan of LaPampa when he got his hands on it.

01:05:18 Tennessee, one of the classic slow US battleships rebuilt after Pearl Harbor and went on to support many amphibious assaults in the Pacific. Hildebrand, the German ship, it does well. Hybrid, fun times.

01:05:34 And also Minigumo, one of the more classic Japanese destroyers, but we did give it an interesting feature where you could change the characteristics of her torpedoes in the game, whether they were long range or easy to spot or short range banzai torps. 2024 saw a lot of interesting ships. 2025 has already kicked off with several strong contenders, and we definitely will plan to continue this going forward.

01:06:02 So, while we give you all a moment to figure out of those four which you think was the best, do we have an extra tidbit?

Auszeichnungen und Ankündigung des Gewinners der letzten Kategorie

01:06:12

01:06:12 There is some more, some in preparation, but I don't think for now. So, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yes, yes, we have one. The total number of achievement earned globally all around all modes where it was possible was 70.2 million achievements total. This is amazing. I have seen quite a few numbers as well. So we have a breakdown of a few extra achievements that we can present you a bit later.

01:06:38 Ich denke, ich habe nur zwei Solo-Warriors in der entirety of 2024. Und beide waren in der Destroyer, die für mich sehr uncharacteristic sind.

01:07:07 But I guess without further ado, it is time to announce the winner of this category, the final category of the award show. And so we do have, the winner is Tennessee.

01:07:26 A certain slow but mighty US battleship. And while we couldn't convince the higher-ups to let us get a raccoon into the office to present the award to, as a raccoon is the state animal of Tennessee, and if you had the special camo for her, you might have noticed the little one running around on deck. But I think we can all agree that given you could get her entirely for free just by playing, she's one of the best ships of the year. Even if you might want to start reading the Silmarillion while you're on your way to a flank.

01:07:57 Obviously, thank you, everyone, for this category. We have some bit more to cover. But I hope you enjoyed, obviously, seeing that Tennessee getting the recognition that she deserves. And on to the next category. I'm pretty sure this was it. Oh, no. Yes, of course. We have the best for last.

01:08:29 Und jetzt auf die beste Community des Jahres. Die größten, die größten, die größten, die größten, die größten, die größten. Wir haben ein paar Contestanten hier. Willst du sie lesen für uns lesen? Natürlich.

01:08:49 You, you, you or you. I certainly have a preference here. What about you? Number three. Yeah, I can see it. Let's give you a second to type something in chat. I think we're about to make the Twitch bot explode. It doesn't matter, right? As long as everyone's having fun.

01:09:16 And the winner is... The winner is...

01:09:27 Natürlich ist es dich. Danke, dass du mit uns mit uns während des Ups und Downs und hoffe, dass in der Zukunft mehr Ups haben. Das ist sicher. Ich glaube, dass der kommende Jahr mehr Ups als Downs hat. Wir sehen uns über das. Ich hoffe, ich bin überzeugt.

01:09:50 Up next, we have even more content for today's stream. So, see you sometime. Thank you for joining us. Hopefully soon.

01:10:09 So, Chat, as mentioned, give us a bit. We will be back with a bit more tidbits. Kelebin and me will continue the stream, of course, till our regular 8 p.m. time. And then, well, we will see each other again very soon, I think.

Technische Schwierigkeiten und Feedback-Umfrage

01:13:39

01:13:39 Does this work? Guys, are we back? Or are we back? Or are we not back? I think the names do not match currently. This is still a bit confusing. Yes, we are back. Woohoo! We're back! When the winners of the Discord votes will be announced? Antonuzi is asking. Finn, can you give me an answer to when we will have the winners for the Discord part of the event? I will start.

01:14:08 Excellent, there you have it.

01:14:17 Well, what's with the VB background? Well, that's the background that was set. So I guess we shall keep it. We shall honor Steam-Chan in this regard. Oh, that's the wrong authenticator. I need to log in. They can't hear you. That is, can you talk again? Testing, one, two. Testing, one, two.

01:14:43 Fix his mic so we can hear him. Can't hear what... Okay. He's cutting out. Cutting out? Ah. A moment.

01:15:12 Try again. Hello. London calling. London calling. Yes. Ruchdien Technology. Yes, yes, yes. Is he still too silent, Scully?

01:15:23 stream is freezing this is london calling maybe an f5 is is important yes cat grill splendid cat girl commanders yes excellent no it's okay now perfect into the bin yes into the bin it goes definitely um so i still wanted to log in

01:15:46 Well, everyone, unfortunately, for those of us who are doing all the presentations, we couldn't see the chat. And I'm currently trying really, really, really hard not to pass out live on stream.

01:15:59 So, we do hope you enjoyed what we did today. It was a novel idea. Welcome to the after party, basically. Guys, well, they can't see you, actually. No, they can't. No, let's do these notes. Something is, of course, not that up. I am not set. It's his new nickname. I like that one already.

01:16:23 I look like I'm about to do football. I think this one works now. Excellent. Anyways, I just posted the survey. I will post it again. This is something important, guys. Please, if you have feedback for the first part of the stream, which was our announcement for the Trident Awards, and I know I certainly have feedback for myself, please leave us your feedback. Vote the stream, and...

01:16:52 Let us know if you want to see something like this again, for example, next year or not. That would be awesome. Yes, Antonuzi, again, in case you didn't hear me, I will start dealing them out tomorrow. Expect them over tomorrow and the next week.

01:17:11 The tie actually isn't that tight, chap. Like, so... I could have mine tied up. I mean, if we take our ties off on stream, it's going to get clipped and someone's going to put it to, like, the Moulin Rouge music. And that is... Egg E3. Actually, no, we're 12 now. We could do it. The stream is rated 18 anyway, so it's fine. Undress on stream. Okay, I'm taking it off.

01:17:39 I'm quite a big fan of breathing. I will keep mine on because I know how to wear these things by now without dying a horrible day. You weren't in a full suit. No, only at the beginning. Giving 6,000 people the survey link instantly killed it. Nice. Excellent. Guys, you have about a week to fill it as well.

01:18:06 I hope very much that this survey works. Otherwise, yeah. And Gaunt's Ghosts is saying, yes, therefore next year I would expect it to be better. Yes, I would expect it to be better as well. To be honest, I had the idea for the stream in December last year. So like a month and a half ago. I think we can give the chat a bit of a context. So obviously...

01:18:33 What we try to do as community managers, we all have our various different roles. And one of the things we come up with is the Discord events that you see. And originally, both me and Frutini both independently had the idea of like, let's do a 2024 in retrospect. Or like looking back at the era and everything that's happened. And that just kind of ran away into me buying a suit.

01:19:02 Das war Spaß, weil ich nicht ein Wort von Czech speak.

01:19:17 Ah, yes, exactly. So the whole setup today was quite last minute as well. So you might have noticed, you might have not. If you didn't, I guess a small pat on my back. If you did, I'm sorry, guys. This is definitely not the quality we normally try to bring you. And in case you want to see it happen again, we will definitely give you the better one next year then. Yes. If we make it into something as well.

01:19:46 We have learnt a lot putting this together. Obviously we hope you do enjoy. We do apologise for any technical hiccups that we had. But we put a lot into this and we have learnt a lot. So if we do do this again next year and this isn't a guarantee, who knows? So make sure to keep your eyes out for those Twitch clips and see.

Zusammenfassung und Verlosung von Preisen

01:20:08

01:20:08 Are my shoelaces fully tied? They were, unless they came undone while I was standing still, which is impressive. Guys, for everyone that was late, we will leave the vote up, of course, so you can re-watch it. Basically, watch an hour of me fumbling with buttons, way too many, trying to do way too much in producing, which I'm, for such a big stream, definitely today underprepared. I had a very...

01:20:37 Very grateful assistance in form of Basingaflux behind the scenes. And then, of course, all of my lovely colleagues, which were in front of the cameras, rest very, very fancy. And yes, Finders Keepers, I had definitely fun with the mics. There is also way too many buttons with way too many unmutes and mutes. And of course, yeah, as always, the funny thing. So all in all, at what time is it? It's 20 past 7. Indeed.

01:21:06 So, are we going to... Why do I have a... When did I get a Shimakaze? Oh, no, I know. Go to New Year. Excellent. I think I got an audition. Anyways, so guys, for everyone that was here... Fumbling with Bassens, title of your sex tape. For anyone that stayed, even after our crazy hour, and continues to watch us, I still have a few...

01:21:34 tidbits to give out so you can still win something i will randomly press the button and our dear lovely um assistant um lemon eagle will um call out to you send you a message and then give you some more reward codes that you can redeem so tier 10 is selected i will bring my dutchies i think since wow's classic yes one

01:22:02 best community tournament i would play the ship that i ended i played back then when i was playing let's show your street uh screen then is it bad if i voted twice um do you mean do you mean on the survey no that is fine

01:22:22 Elfie Wolf, don't worry. It's fine. I'm happy that you're here now. And as mentioned earlier, you can rewatch the VOD after we're done with the stream today. So we will play some games now, as our dear cat minister said. And yes, chat, I'm terribly sorry. I missed the chance to force the cat ears on him. But then again, I restructured the streaming room today. So everyone that is on our English Discord, I will make a...

01:22:50 Das ist der Chaos, das ich hier habe, um für Sie zu share. Oder für Sie zu sehen. Putting together this stream means that Fruchtini can now put on his CV, that he's a sound engineer and a video engineer. And a light engineer. And a lighting engineer. There are so many lights in here. I think one, two, three, four, five, six. Six lights, only just for the green screen that Tsunami and Kilopin were on.

01:23:17 Link for the official Discord. That is, give me a moment, I need to switch our stream deck here, because otherwise I don't have it. Thank you, Lemon. I have it, of course, here. Oh, and also, of course, thank you, Lemon. I will also leave you with our current update survey in case you want to leave us the feedback for the game. And once again, I will probably switch quickly back to our...

01:23:45 this one and drop once more the treatment award survey and i hope you can open it without a problem um if not maybe give it a bit of time um i hope that then helps

01:24:01 Oh, I'm running into a Reach division again. I had the fun yesterday. Okay. Where they were playing together with A7, I think it was. Oh, I'm getting a smoke from our allied Essex. Teamwork. Teamwork. Mein Gott. Yes. I mean, I'm in a complete horrible position with my Utrecht. So I'm very thankful for that smoke. But then again, I also just noticed that it's standard battles. I'm looking at...

01:24:30 Too many buttons again. Refresh worked for the survey. Thank you, Rogue Pope, for the feedback. That makes me very happy to hear, because earlier when we were creating the survey, we had the problem that here in the streaming room, I couldn't open it, even with reloading it, until I tried it on my mobile phone where it worked, and I was like, oh no. Apparently, I look like I've just left prison. You shouldn't have put on the tie.

01:24:59 I was understandable, but I'm also quite a big fan of breathing. That is illegal. No need for you to breathe. Solid hit on the good.

01:25:15 Antoniusi, der giveaway ist unsere Bot-Selecting-Winners-Prompt-Chat-That-Interacted. So, da wir go. For example, we have Briwu59 that just got also a Blue Booster Container.

01:25:32 Also, for everyone else that is watching, as we mentioned earlier, some fun, interesting tidbits of 2025. But you have names for certain things, like the last player that detonated on the EU server and A server and Asia server. They will get a special prize sent to them as well from our side. So look forward to this in case you are one of them. We will send you a nice container. If you happen to be here, this is going to be really weird for you.

01:26:02 Actually, while I'm in the middle of the map, oh, we're showing your gameplay, thankfully, because otherwise I would tease probably the Pravorny again, which I did not want to do, actually. I am actually looking for a different folder. No, I'm looking for Discord. I hope I can access what I was sent by my colleague.

01:26:29 We have not announced them yet, Keeper. What have we not announced it? The answer I was genuinely surprised by, because it was not a ship that I would expect. Indeed. I'm not quite sure how to take that. I will say thank you.

01:26:53 Okay, in the meantime, I mean, Pin has everything under control, I think, and the rest of the team, so that is fine. Yes, yes, you do. Okay. Yes. Because I'm opening, in the meantime, the folders to tell you the fun results. So what we've announced today is Whiskey Vehicle 44, formerly Fully, Provani. Mm-hmm.

Ankündigung neuer Schiffe und Inhalte

01:27:19

01:27:19 And the three new secondary brawling focused temporary ships. So who was asking? That was Stefan. Yes. So to your, I can show it off here real quick. Because this is something he will definitely be angry about. Because this of course is a historically correct set 23.

01:27:46 with the correct guns, but not for the Germans. It's for the Soviets. So, yes, we have a correct set 23 in the game again. Yes, it's the wrong caliber. Yes, it's the wrong nation. It's the right caliber in a different nation. When we were announcing, when I saw that we were going to announce this ship, I went through and was reading some of the translated logs from the Soviet crews that got these ships, and they were like,

01:28:14 They're really nice, right up until something breaks. Mike, don't worry, it might be next week. As far as I know, there should be news next week. Of course, we cannot share anything further, but don't worry, there will be a roadmap video upcoming very soon for you to enjoy.

01:28:42 And this contains actually information about that topic. So look forward to that. When is the next Dockyard event excited for the Blucher? And I'm super excited for it as well. I can't wait to actually have her play her and enjoy playing her as well.

01:29:04 I will have to actively go out of my way to try and sink her with store 43's torpedoes. No, what you would need to do is do it with the Jäger. I think that would be the most historical one. Yeah, because Jäger... I mean, I think even Jäger's torps are more modern than what was put in the jord. Yes, of course. It sure is. Because technically the white hatch torpedo that hit her and sunk blew her.

01:29:31 I mean, of course, together with the 11-inch hits she received from the fortress. No, and Altitude Modern.

01:29:41 It would be... No, even all of our Tier 2 destroyers, like the Tatra, are armed with a more modern version of it. Do you want to know the most interesting thing I learned about Oscarborg Fortress? Those torpedo tubes weren't completely retired until the 1990s. I'm not surprised about that. Granted, by that point, they'd upgraded them with Mark 48 torpedoes. Understandable. Which is the same sort of thing that US attack subs fire.

01:30:10 Which, given that you can throw a rock from Oskarborg to the other shore, seems a bit excessive. Just a thought. And update next week. Yes, indeed. The update is next week, so we will have, of course, our update stream there.

01:30:28 Although, no German update stream next week, because both Chrysanthus, and I've seen people ask earlier, why no Chrysanthus today? He has some other obligations, so he couldn't be here, of course, to our all sadness. But yeah. And he's going on holiday.

01:30:44 Indeed, and I'm also going on a holiday. After this stream, he deserves it, chat, believe me. The amount of time and effort that my colleague here has put into this stream, and putting together many of the streams, he genuinely, everyone here owes Fructini a major thank you. Because without the dedication and time that he has put in in the past few weeks, a lot of the stuff that you will be seeing today and going forward wouldn't be possible.

01:31:13 How is your gameplay looking over there? I'm still only on 23k damage down. I'm at 76,000 and I've just killed something. Are there any known issues with not getting the Dockyard mission? Not right now, Brutal, but thank you for bringing that to our attention. If it's for the Njord, that one is over. That one finished yesterday. So the only way to finish the Njord Dockyard currently is... No, it was for the Discord mission. Ah, the Discord mission, okay.

01:31:42 I will check with the team and get back.

01:31:49 Also, we also probably, okay, I'm making an executive decision, which I don't think I'm allowed to do, but I'm making it anyway. We will need to go over what our American colleagues announced yesterday. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no. So my idea was anyways to have a fun, and we'll bring it up in a second when we show Bin's gameplay, because, Chet, we will play a game called Spot the Difference.

01:32:17 Yes. He can see it already coming and he fears it. And I'm enjoying every second of it. Well, I guess you've got to get your schadenfreude before you go away. Yes, of course. Of course I'm getting my schadenfreude. So there's an in-shot on the enemy team. I doubled my damage.

01:32:46 You'll see in a moment. He just sounded like a Bond villain. Yes. I think the title fits perfectly. Kaboom, baby.

01:33:04 bang on oh but at least he's nice and he's like thank you i guess that's one way to to to say things so let's bully the the aircraft carrier we have no in-game sound um

01:33:22 That is true. That is weird. I have the feeling I'm not able to fix this without restarting something, because I used different setups and layouts for the stream today, so I can sadly not change anything now on the fly.

01:33:44 So I'm very terribly sorry about any inconvenience that is causing this, maybe. Okay, I'm down. I still did 80k damage, which I'm happy about. I'm at 122. Maybe catch the defense in the turn here. Yep. Nice. Okay, we won. Excellent, yes. Only the enemy Yoshino left. Thank you, LMAG. Actually, let me try and see if I can...

01:34:12 fix that real quickly without breaking anything this is the last i see you chat i will tell you all oh we have audio no no

01:34:34 Okay. So, Jed, I'm not able to fix this right now, which is terribly, terribly sorry from my end. I guess that happens when you play with OBS a bit too much and try to fix things on the fly. Anyways, I have an interesting... Let's go big. Okay. Then I will prep it for the stream to have it how I need it to. I'm a little quiet. Let me get a bit closer to the microphone.

01:35:03 is quiet hello how are you okay i cannot i cannot zoom in too much but then again otherwise you don't really see us anyways anymore um let me switch back show you and let's play the game can you spot the difference so it was mentioned earlier by me actually and yes i mean we can pull up of course our other colleagues

01:35:32 Maybe you can spot someone else in here. I'm just pointing at him, maybe. The scene hasn't changed. The scene hasn't changed. I'm a potato. He's going nuts, Chad. He's going mad. I'm definitely going mad. So let's play again. Here we see a lot of our colleagues. Meanwhile, my phone is vibrating. I should try to turn it off. That was the wrong turnoff. Anyways, as you can see.

01:36:01 Wir haben Boggy.

01:36:05 Hier, hiding in the background, behind our Evan. He's the North American producer, I think, is his title currently. I'm not sure about his title, but he's a very important person over there. And Boggy, as you name him, he's here. But we have him also in spirit here on screen. And the left is Bin itself. Yes, Mr. Weak. The left is the new submarine commander. Oh, well.

01:36:32 He will come with the submarine seal together. So yes, from now on, Bin is a big submarine commander. Forever known as a submarine commander. Is it AI? No, it's me. Yes. That's my face.

01:36:51 And Milanello is like, hey, we see this yesterday. Yes, you have seen it yesterday, but now you have the real face. I just noticed the cameras are still wrong from the new setup. You have the real face combined with the new in-game face. And I must say, I think you really should try to grow a beard like this. That looks amazing. I can't get past the itchy face part.

01:37:16 Also, I can also announce, if you did miss it earlier, that both of these commanders will have unique voices voiced by yours truly. So, yes, I'm in the game. I'm a submarine commander. Interesting. We have... Who was it? Someone said something interesting here.

01:37:40 That will be revealed later, Skowl. Oh yeah, Bobberson is like, now Bin, you really need to grow a beard. Yes, a beard or transplant one. No, that was not what I wanted to actually say. Oh yeah, it was from TW Simulations. He looks so mature. Yes, indeed. He looks like a grown-up man now. The face I make when I have to read the Discord.

01:38:07 Yeah, okay. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince Development that if you held the W key for 40 seconds continuously, you went faster. I was not able to allow them to include the W. Unlucky. So, I guess we shall play another game and then maybe as a recap, go over our... I look German. Ooh. That is interesting.

01:38:37 you are now on the list interesting interesting interesting um what did i want to say

01:38:50 Oh, yes. Let's play another game, Mr. Bin. Okay. I'm looking the wrong way again. Yes, you are. What should we play? Chat, give us a tier. Yes, chat, give us a tier. Anything between tier 5 to tier 10, please. Oh, well. I don't mind. I can even play tier 2. Dixie, why? Why, Dixie? No one needed that. I didn't need that, and that's me.

01:39:15 Eight, okay. I think it's more sevens than eight, actually. All right, well. Well, it's time. I haven't played this ship in a while. I know what I need to bring. It won today one of the... Oh, well, it was one of the tidbits. Didn't really win something. Okay, it's a double battleship division, but that's fine. Let's go.

01:39:37 We will show it off after this game. Don't worry. We will go over the content that is coming, the new ship content that is coming to the game that will also be available soon on the dev block in roughly 20 minutes. In the meantime, I will throw in another one. Let's see.

01:40:01 I think we have still... Ah, splendid. Grant won. Like nine containers left. We have nine... In Lederhosen, perhaps we could make that happen. Oh, I'm pretty sure we can just ask Chrysanthus to bring some and then we can see him in Lederhosen. Oder in Lederhosen.

01:40:26 Ismet is bringing up an actual quite good fact. If you have Drachnifel as a captain on your ship, you aren't leaving port since he'll always be telling you interesting history. If we ever did a Dr. Clark commander, we'd also have to figure out how to get Ironbrew into the game.

01:40:49 9 Containers? Elusive Spider is asking yes, due to our... Can we see the ships? Can we see the ships? Of course you can see the ships. No. I haven't switched it for your side. This is, of course, a big mistake by me. Because now, if I do this, I can just give you... Ooh, I got buttons now. Wait, I think that's the wrong...

01:41:12 Bliss44Black, we just announced her completely. We're not announcing a black version, so not a bad idea. Then that's the proper ones probably. So you have buttons now as well, so it's not all my fault with the buttons. Although I'm worried to give you buttons because we had an interesting problem today earlier where... None of that was because I pushed a button. Well, you pushed buttons last week and that broke something today. Only because I was given the incorrect instructions on what buttons to press.

01:41:41 No, you just muted something. Ben and B. Hmm? What? Ben and B. Musashi B. Scharnhorst B. No, wait. Don't we have Scharnhorst? No, we don't have Scharnhorst B. I thought we did. Oh, no, we do. We do. We do. We do. We do. Of course have it. Oh, Mikasa 2 Golden Black. Mikasa 2. Mikasa Golden Black. Mikasa Golden Black. No, Chanta. So, basically, with Blitzkavika, specifically...

Gameplay, Community-Interaktion und Dev-Blog-Inhalte

01:42:11

01:42:11 She is a ship that went through several different forms during her service career, and obviously as she is still preserved today and is a big part of Poland's naval history, and we have a very active Polish community, we decided to redo her in the condition that she fought most of World War II in, where she supported the D-Day operations and also served alongside Canadian Commonwealth destroyers in the Bay of Biscay.

01:42:40 Weil die Polen sind immer, besonders bei den Briten, als excellent Soldaten, Sailors und Airmen. Da haben wir die interessante, funne, historische Tid-Bit mit Ben, der Submarine Kommande.

01:42:58 Und Pico ist gefragt, ob sie den Musashi zu dem Auctionhaus ist. Vielleicht? Vielleicht sie wird sie wieder sehen. Wer sind die Test-Ships-Klonefromm-Mansionte? Michelangelo, Kongress, Adatara. Sadly, wir haben keine Bilder, als ich weiß, heute, richtig? Ich glaube nicht. Das wir können? Ja, Keeper, weil Blitz nicht dieses Refit getötet bis 1941.

01:43:28 We return to our usual programming where Bin rambles on about history for 20 minutes. That is fun. One of the big things that made Bliss very famous, especially in the UK. Apparently we have in-game sound now. What? What did you do? No. I'm slightly confused by this, guys.

01:43:57 Okay, if we have it at least for my side, then I guess that's what we will be going with. Okay. No, there is bloop bloops. Okay, so. There is underwater bloop bloops. Whisker Vika was built on the Isle of Wight, in the town of Cowes. And so, because that's where she was built, that's where she often went for refits and repairs, because the shipyard was familiar with her design, because they'd done it. Time to run away. And...

01:44:25 During one of these times when she was in drydock, um, going through a bit of a refit, her crew had, uh, her captain had decided not to have her magazines emptied. So she was in drydock with most of her anti-aircraft ammunition still in the magazines. And it just happened to be that on this day, or on this night, there was a Luftwaffe bombing raid on cows.

01:44:51 And because the town is on the Isle of Wight, right as close to German-occupied France as you could get, there wasn't a lot of anti-aircraft guns and defences for the town. So when the air raid came in, this crew returned to the ship, manned their AA, manned their guns, and fired the guns so quickly that they were melting and burning the paint off her gun barrels. And they were dousing them down with water.

01:45:20 Manly. So... Being shot at by the Merkur. I hit the Merkur.

01:45:53 I'm being farmed by enemies. Unfortunate. It is indeed very unfortunate. Also the trouble of having one of the submarines being on me. And I think it's a tier 6. It's thankfully just a tier 6 British submarine. So it's not that bad. That's the American sub. Oh yeah, it's the American sub. The British one is Undine. Or Undine. I'm never 100% sure which correct one it is. Oh, let's get rid of this.

01:46:22 No, I was blind. Meanwhile, the Sharnhorst is burning, burning. Your Sharnhorst or their Sharnhorst? I was burning, burning, burning as well, but the King George is burning, burning, burning. Oh, he repaired now. I like secondaries. I really like secondaries. Oh, he's already here. Oh, that's a speedy. I don't have an education in the Classic, so I don't know how to pronounce ancient Greek names correctly. Greek.

01:46:49 The voice might imply that I do, but I don't. I could try. I would be horribly wrong, and you would be horribly offended by it, I think. I mean, D3. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because someone was asking. No, my Scharnhorst has Lütchens on it currently. So don't worry about that. I would agree that the Scharnhorst are the best-looking German battleships.

01:47:17 Strong contenders, I would say. I mean... Because... Triple turreted ships, ships with triple turrets, generally looks like ships with twins. Agreed. Agreed. Triple turreted ships are nice. Which is why I think the Iowas are the best looking battleships ever. No. The Iowas are good looking. I still prefer my Yamatos and Musashis.

01:47:45 Be it me, be it old-fashioned, but I just like these Pagodas. That's fine. You are allowed. I mean, let's be fair, like... Oh, what was it? The thing that I mentioned, I think, a couple weeks ago that I can't get out of my head now is that if you look at a fast US battleship, like North Cal, Alabama, or Iowa, if you look at it side-on from looking at the bridge, it looks like one of the statues from Easter Island. And now I can't unsee that.

01:48:15 oh also by the way there is sand gear um is asking are we going to see italian legendary commander in the upcoming italian event update we already have sansonetti in the game you can get him with the i forgot the name of the containers um also let me roll some more winners in the meantime before i forget to do that

01:48:39 And congratulations, Ronbow1680. Yeah, Resolute and Rapid. Thank you, Chad. See, that is why the community definitely... My brain's been cooked. ...is awesome. Community always awesome. I think we do have the best community. We do. Of course they did. They won. Yeah, of course they won one of the categories. Wouldn't make sense any other way.

01:49:13 What do you have to do to get a winning container? Be active in chat currently. Wingslinger, we will check and get back to that. Mhm.

01:49:27 Das wäre Freischütz. Oh nein, ich würde nicht. Nicht heute.

01:49:59 Ja, so das heißt, ich werde bei einer Submarine getrennt. Also muss ich vorsichtig sein, dass es ein...

01:50:05 Perusio ist schon mal hier. Das könnte ein Problem sein. Kann Secondary Citadel, uh, some can. Es ist nicht. Es muss eigentlich die perfect... Du musst eine Secondary Gunn mit genug Penetration. Ja. Du musst die Armour verletzten. Du musst die Armour verletzten. Du musst die Armour verletzten. Du musst die Armour verletzten. Du musst die Armour verletzten. Du musst die Armour verletzten. Du musst die Armour verletzten. Du musst die Armour verletzten.

01:50:34 Smolensk? No, actually, it is easier than a Smolensk. You need to find a Kitakami and be in a Schlieffen. Yes. Then you easily can do that, actually. Mechanically, yes, it can be done. But it is not common for it to happen. Yes, N1. I'm not sure what's going on with that. He has informed me and I'm still working on that. How is it looking on your end? I have 71,000 damage and I'm winning.

01:51:03 Nice. I can still farm some more. I have 100k, 110k currently. Yes. So, yes, many, many, many, many years ago, Japanese battleships did have AP for their secondary. Yes. They no longer do. That is true. But there are definitely ships in the game that have secondaries with sufficient penetration to Citadel. I could not save our Akisuki, sadly, because the Panzer Cola he was fighting is too far away.

01:51:32 So I could not bully the Panzer Caller into submission. Unfortunate. That is very unfortunate. I will switch back to me while I bully... Oh, oh, there he is. Oh, excellent. Go-Go Gadget Secondaries. I guess... Double Strike, maybe? Does someone take it away from me? There is the first kill. There is going to be... A Double Strike. Excellent. Let's get all the achievements. Yes.

01:51:59 There were some brothers in arms as well as you got the Devonshire. Nice. When is Yari being released? When she is released. Exactly.

01:52:08 And Grim Reaper is asking, Kitakami Concealment, unique upgrade when? Water detection. Two. Two what? Two. Ah, nice. I earned also a Fireproof and a Dreadnought. Yeah, you had a much better game than me. That was a very nice game. I like the Scharnhorst 43. Okay, so are we going to do the blog? Yes, let's go over the Deathblog again. Let me quickly...

01:52:36 I'm showing my screen. I'm showing my screen indeed. I haven't prepped it any other way, so we'll just do it this way. It is now the Elfruchtini. Okay, so let me grab the info. I also noticed I'm in the way. I cannot move that much back. So, well, the name shall be cut off for the next eight minutes before it will be on the DevBlog. Yes, and I don't have that because I'm not plugged in on this one properly. Do you have the information?

01:53:05 If you send me the link on Discord. Pass. Pass, okay. Let me grab it the other way. The typical professional bin and fruity preparedness for this. But then again, guys, sorry for this. We were not prepared to actually have this part because I initially planned for the treat and award stream to run longer.

01:53:33 We were too fast. So for the next time, if we run it again, this will entirely depend on you. I will use that chance. So everyone that was watching or everyone that is using the chance later after we finish the stream to re-watch the VOD, if you can, leave us your feedback here. And for the ones asking, is this going to be an Elbing Ruski? No, this is an Elbing...

01:53:59 This is not an Elbing. This is a set 23 for the Russians, or for the Soviet Union in this case. I can only assume the bit blocked out by Fruttini's head says Provolone. No, it says Provorny. I think I said it correctly, right? You're asking me? I can move my head slightly away. Maybe then we can see the rest. I guess that might help and work. I can otherwise try to find the proper...

01:54:29 Stop. Let's see. Can I do this one here? Yes. Yes, I can. It still says the Trident of Worts, but well, that was basically our stream today. So, buttons. Yes, sometimes I don't know anymore what these buttons do. And the German copy-paste. Yesen't. Alex, yesen't.

01:54:57 Because it's not a German one. Nope. Let us... Well, that loads. So, yes. So, to give a bit of historical context, obviously, at the end of World War II, there were surviving elements of the Kriegsmarine, and these ships were parceled out to the Allied powers, basically depending on who wanted more, which is why Prince Huygen ended up with the United States Navy, and then they nuked her. So, the fitting name, Allies US.

Detaillierte Schiffsbesprechungen und zukünftige Inhalte

01:55:26

01:55:26 yes he's asking no new tech tree today no no so basically yesterday we announced a new early access for the soviet commanders on our na or our na colleagues did and um it's not maybe there will be information on the new waterline video that comes out soon i guess i can tease that yes um and yeah so

01:55:55 Feel free to see and look forward to that. Let me see. Can I actually... I need to find the correct one. Oh, we have an image for Valparaiso. We have also the early access camouflage. No, that is not the early access camouflage. This is a special camouflage for S189. We have the early access camouflage for L20. The early access camouflage for K1.

01:56:20 And then also a camouflage for the Tier 6 Gator. We have also some Pirate-themed Captains for our upcoming Pirate Event, or Pirate Hunt, and a new Tier 10 Premium Ship Container. Okay, so I now have the... Also new Clan Wars Season Informations. I now have the Pravani Info. Excellent. There's a new Def Animation as well, and then we have Calabin as a Submarine Commander. Me.

01:56:48 Und natürlich der Tier 8 Bliska Wietze, 44. Das wird später kommen. Do you want to go back to the Pravarni? Pravarni ist erst auf der list, so ich glaube, wir gehen über sie. Let me switch for all the images again. Okay, so. Former German destroyer Z-33 of the 1934A Mobilization class transferred to the Soviet Union in late 1945 as part of war reparations. Renamed to Pravarni, the ship served in the Baltic Sea until the mid-1950s.

01:57:16 Based on the historical Z33 hull, Pravani bings back the whole heavy artillery of five 150mm guns. While she may not have the best damage per minute, Pravani boasts good ballistics and can apply her damage well due to potent AP shells and her 30mm HE shell penetration. She also packs a respectable alpha strike due to her good damage on both AP and HE shells. As backup, her eight torpedo tubes launch fish with characteristics similar to those found on Delny's torpedoes.

01:57:44 Oh, there is. Before we continue, there is an interesting question from City Light 1976. Are there also realistic death animations?

01:58:11 i think currently the most realistic one would probably be the white smoke from our black friday last year uh yeah but there is definitely plans to bring in a bit more realistic def animations as well so these offer um a very big um you won't miss it yes there is definitely plans for for adding more def animations and realistic ones

01:58:36 definitely in there as well. And Kruksms is asking, will it keep the German Hydro? Do we have anything that we can say on this? Let me double check. I don't believe she does. She has damage control party, specialist repair teams, and engine boost. No German Hydro. So no, Pravorni will not have Hydro. In battle, Pravorni functions best as a damage dealer.

01:59:05 Using her good blend of gun and torpedo power to threaten any type of enemy vessel from medium to long ranges. In the early stages of the game, assist friendly destroyers by staying close behind and punish enemy destroyers trying to pick a fight. In later stages, look for overextended enemy ships and help your team bring them down. Be sure to pick your engagements carefully. While her specialized repair team can help you survive under fire, the lack of a smoke generator means you are committed once you start a fight.

01:59:29 And Mandragor22 is asking, how many doubloons will the Lightning 44, aka Bliskowica, 44 cost? At this point, we cannot share this information with you, but I'm sure wants closer to her introduction to the game directly when she will be available. We will share this information with you. Shall we move on to Bliskowica? Yes. I'm showing the image now. Very good.

01:59:53 A famous Polish destroyer that took part in many operations of World War II, including the Norwegian Campaign, the Dunkard evacuation, and the Normandy landings, among others. A historical refit of the destroyer, this iteration possesses a low-caliber main battery of eight 102mm guns armed with AP-only shells. A quick reload and high shell damage gives Bliss good damage per minute, while improved ricochet angles and a low arming threshold ensure that her guns remain a threat against any target. Torpedoes with similar characteristics to those found on Oland

02:00:22 Bliss ist ein Formidable Knifefighter.

02:00:50 So turn poor shell ballistics into an advantage by lobbing shells over island cover.

02:01:18 So, yes, indeed. I have seen people asking as well about the carrier rework. Once more, guys, there will be new information, most likely next week, unless something drastically changes in between, where we will share more about this. Oh, there is a Voodoo Popeye. Oh, he's here.

02:01:38 Right. There he is. Yes. And now I can go on to, we don't have the images for them, but we can talk about the temporary ships. Yes, of course. Let's show, let us talk about the temporary ships. Yes. While we, while I will put on the bin in the background. I'm always, I'm always watching. Also, why is it zoomed in properly?

02:01:56 Das war weird.

02:02:23 These ships gain improvements to their secondary battery as they take damage. They will not only begin battle at full hit points, but will have an increased amount of these, but at the cost of reduced capabilities to repair ship parts. As the battle progresses and they lose HP, their secondary battery range and rate of fire increases. While their main battery armament is relatively weak, they do have access to burst fire with a limited stock of ammunition, which offer greatly improved characteristics in exchange for shorter range.

02:02:51 And these three ships are the Tier VI US Cruiser Protector, which is based on the Tier VI Congress, the Italian Cruiser Verace Tier X, which is based on Michelangelo, and the Japanese battleship Hotaka, which is based on Adatara. But a key thing to point out with Hotaka is that, or Hotaka? H-O-T-A-K-A.

02:03:20 Das ist Kotaka. Kotaka, okay. Her main guns have been swapped to 410mm weapons. All of this information will be in the dev blog that should go live shortly. Also, in addition, we're adding new tournament edition ships to the game. Borodino Tournament, Kleber Tournament, and Odin Tournament. As you might expect, they will be clones of Borodino, Kleber, and Odin, respectively, and are intended exclusively for use in a future tournament.

02:03:49 And we have updated the model for Pan-American battleship Valparaiso, which we do have a photo of. Yes, we do.

02:04:02 I mean, images, I guess. There we go. There she is. Another dev block. We just had one yesterday. Yes, well, today's dev block is basically new ships with two new premium ships that will be added as well as more temporary and tournament usable ships. And commander bin, commander bin surfaces. And because someone mentioned earlier, basically, yes.

02:04:31 russian commander or soviet commander that will be added along the line with the early access for the soviet submarines is inspired by of course a certain special movie called red october and um but it is of course not based on sean connery the image it is based on one of our north american colleagues should be required required viewing for our team yes i agree and also does the the new series of dustbolt

02:04:59 Technically the old one as well, but I, you know. The original movie is cynical. I probably would recommend reading the book, I guess. Just one bin only. Yes, one bin only. Yes, I will say, when I was asked by the team going, would you like to be a commander in game? I was like, yes, immediately. How do I do this? Yes, and also Voodoo.

02:05:25 It's not one bin only Vasili, it's one bin only Bogi. Bogi, our beloved. Who by popular vote is the best community manager. Of 2024. Yes. Now that we know that there's a category for this, let's try to do our best for next year. That would be really funny if that is the thing that encourages us in the team. I gotta win. I gotta win the next year.

Feedback, Umfrage und Community-Engagement

02:05:51

02:05:51 Und Daimyo Kor is like, book always first. Yes, I would recommend Haile to read the book as well. I've been listening to the audiobook of Hunt for Red October.

02:06:01 One bin, only Bogsily. Yes. Hunter Hamburg, next year. Maybe, first of all, you guys have to give us the feedback. On the note of feedback, I think I will try to. I have two mice in front of me. Mice, mouse, mouses? Mice. Mice. And then that just adds to all the buttons. So we'll leave you the survey to our Treatment Award stream we had earlier. Well, the first half of the stream, basically.

02:06:29 So if you want, please feel free to give us your feedback, especially if you watched it. If you haven't watched it in a bit, the VOD will go online and then you can re-watch the first part. It's basically about an hour. Give us your feedback of what you liked, what you didn't like, what you would like to see improved, maybe different categories you would like to have involved. And so it's a short survey, I would say. So leave us your feedback there and then we can plan with something.

02:06:55 or maybe next year or not depending on your feedback and we will also of course in case we would run this make it more magnificent more bigger more better and hopefully with less um hiccups and overheating again and and fruity technical problems yes mismanagement fingers indeed i think that is probably the reason why i didn't win ah no you were a strong contender

02:07:22 I know, but not strong enough. Probably still too many technical issues on stream. Yes. You didn't... Well, obviously you didn't mobilize the Germans well enough, but... But then again, we only used the Discord. Maybe there is something for next year we could improve with having a general vote for everyone without directing them to Discord. If you lot liked, then we can look to improve it. Which movie had Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington in a sub? Oh!

02:07:53 Crimson Dawn or Crimson Tide?

02:07:59 Crimson Tide? Is that the one with... They get half an order to launch. Oh yeah, the chat is Crimson Tide. Crimson Tide. There you go. And Hans and Cthulhu is like, mobilizing the Germans has already caused so many problems in history. Yeah. He hasn't. Depends on from which perspective you look at, probably. Yes. I guess. Anyways. Looking at the time. Indeed, looking at the time. The Deflog should be live. Yes, it should be.

02:08:27 I think someone did say they were having a slight issue with viewing it, so if that persists, do tell us. Let's have a look. Does it work for you? It works for me. It's loading.

02:08:42 Ja, Crews in Tide, but it was just two dudes yelling at each other for 90 minutes. That's essentially what these streams are. It's just us yelling at each other for two hours. Yepping away. It has just opened, I guess. And Mathieu is asking, waterline when? Soon. Legitimately soon. Indeed. Very soon. Rather soon. Yeah. Yes. I think let's go with rather soon.

02:09:11 Alright. From Cat Minister and Unruh's point of view. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Probably. Also, Ilya Drilz is saying, don't forget Hunter Killer with Butler. That's the most recent one. Which is alright. And Ensign Cthulhu is like, Deathblock still looking Deathstruck for me. It just took ages to load for me, but...

02:09:45 I don't know. They're remaking Hunt the Bismarck. Please tell me they're not remaking Hunt for the Bismarck. Yeah, the dev block is definitely slow. So we shall forward that feedback that it's not loading in how it should be. Thank you for telling us. Can you tell us when we get the containers for the Panamerican Legendary Captain? No. Not at this point, sadly.

02:10:13 So, Dracula is asking, hey guys, how about Japanese submarines being hybrids with planes as they had many historic submarines like this and pasta subs, could be midget subs launched from a new line of pasta light CLs, so somewhat hybrids in a sense also. Oh god, that is an idea I would dread to bring to our devs. Imagine you have a light cruiser line that can launch mini submarines that are like hybrid, usable.

02:10:39 Every few minutes. I'm going to stop you right there. That's what Chad wrote. If we do that, you're writing the dev blog explaining how it works. Like a hybrid just underwater? Sure, that'll work. It would be very similar to the controls. Yes. I don't know. No. Yeah, of course, the midget submarines would have limited capacity.

02:11:04 Anyways, there's actually quite a lot of people asking for submarines currently, which is interesting. We are introducing, with the next update? No, 14.2. 14.2. Of course, our early access for the Soviet submarines. So, yeah, there's a few more submarines coming along the way. Finally, after, I think, 2022, they ended first testing? Yes. Right? Yes. Anyways.

02:11:32 I think that's it. Guys, thank you for being with us. Thank you, Shaky. Handy, handy. I think if I wave too quick, the green screen comes through, so I should wave very slowly. Here's our survey. See you soon. Bye-bye. Take care.
