I am sure Planet clash is an event is PC as well that given who is Achillies.  Given that you can select to turn off event skins there must be a real ship under the space Destroyer Achillies.  It is a Tier 6 Legends so Tier 7 PC and a destroyer to start which does not help a lot.  It has two twin guns one front and one rear.  It also has to triple torpedoes launchers which makes me think it is European but it would have to be a premium and not tech line which does not fit any of them.  It also talks about skins for the cruiser and battleship but calls the destroyer by the same name saying they look the same.  So am i crazy or do we just have an oddball ship that looks only like a spaceship.  Please help it is the big prize for the event and i would like to know what i could be getting.

I'm guessing a little, but it seems to me that WOWs Legends has adapted some of the "Key Battles" and other space-themed events of the past (intended for the P.C. version of WOWs) for use with the WOWs Legends game version.  🙂 

I'm enclosing videos for comparision.

Achillies is a ship you can earn and use in the game proper

but i take it those ships if playable in the game were skins for existing ships, The Achillies seems to have come from thin air

thanks all the same

It looks like a blend between Big Hunt event and Star Kitakaze/Somme, that you can earn an event-themed clone ship with event tokens.

I'd like that, would make it harder for anyone to score hits on me if all their shells would hit thin air.

It’s not. This year’s April Fools event is the Piñata Hunt event that has been advertised. This event on WoWs Legends appears to be largely a repurposing of assets developed and used in previous April Fools/Halloween events in WoWs.

A two minute Google search seems to indicate it is based off of Oland, which is a tech tree tier VIII DD in WoWs (no idea if she is otherwise featured in WoWs Legends).

Per the article, the DD is a standalone ship while the others are camos. All three look like the event ships you’ll be able to use during the event.

From past WOWs (for P.C.) events, I earned the golden skin (of the battleship on the right) and have the skin/camo mounted on my Amagi.

In the wiki, it is listed as the "Avenger" camouflage for the Amagi.

I bless the filter for all the things I never see in WoWS.
