Its a Naval Battle type event with some rewards. Grand prize  T9 battleship Tsurugi.

Key Features

• Convenient main battery guns featuring a fast reload and decent turret traverse speed for a battleship; however, they deal relatively low damage per salvo and have mediocre armor-penetration capabilities.

Sounds like mecklenburg at tier 10 with only 305mm's.

Sounds just like the kind of ship I play.

Meh, the 15% coupon is of little value when the 25% coupon exists, the 30% coupon isn't much better than the 25% one, the perma camos and flag are of questionable use, and I wouldn't be surprised if a good part of the players who will reach the top 50 already own Tsurugi.

That, and bots exist.

I like the concept, it's very cool, but the rewards and efforts needed are really not worth it.

Even then, 19k dubs (because I suppose the ship will only be available for dubs) with a 30% coupon is still a bit too expensive...

Obviously been playing for 24hours straight, or playing in shifts with someone else who shares their account.

Not really, Mecklenburg has Good damage per Salvo and good penetration for the caliber. I believe in terms of Salvo weight damage wise, she's in the top 10 of all tier X BBs(out of 28). She's got the second highest AP DPM as well of any tier X BB.

Schlieffen on the other hand. . . Yea, her broadside weight sucks and so does her penetration for her caliber.

I don't participate in these 'we reward botting' events.

Eeh

500 Community Token for just playing normally (3k baseXP over 4 days)

Beyond that, let the bots grind as they wish for the Wish.Com Georgia

Maybe the 500 tokens is worth doing...but that's it.

That’s all I’m going for anyway. Both because I’m not competing with the bots (but hopefully WG will address the botting better than they did with the US BB one), and because I already have Tsurugi.

I'll have y'all know I am now rank 4255 in the event so you may as well stop trying. I'm going to win!

W.I plot twist:

WG promptly investigstes the top 100 players for Botting

 

...If only, more likely planning more event to show "BaTtLe aCtIvItY" numbers go up on Exel sheet

A novel approach to creating an investigation into players using botting?

Believing it and citing it as a source aren't necessarily the same.
