Taylor3006 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 For veterans who have linked their ID.me account with Wargaming, there is a new premium tier 4 destroyer called DD-214 that will be added to your account. You also get a couple of captains and a mission that you have to go hit the participate button for, that has a patch and a flag as a final reward. The destroyer is a little monster. She is Clemson and this ship is what you want to use to club baby seals with your 21 point Halsey captain.... I had a blast with it against the bots. I always forget how much fun the low tiers are. I got two ships today, this one and the Anhalt. The German BB was as miserable as I thought it would be but the DD-214 was awesome. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that you have more flexibility in the Brandenburg, though both are poor ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Cthulhu Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 When I heard a premium Clemson was being added to the game, I thought "Oh F***, here we go, cue the wailing and gnashing of teeth!" Probably a good thing that eligibility is limited. Enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the snowflake rewards and it was cheap (I have a lot of coal). 4 minutes ago, Ensign Cthulhu said: When I heard a premium Clemson was being added to the game, I thought "Oh F***, here we go, cue the wailing and gnashing of teeth!" Probably a good thing that eligibility is limited. Enjoy. I hadn't heard about her until today on Reddit. She is exactly what you would expect. I think you are right though, maybe it being limited may help but honestly she seems designed to kill baby seals. Just a brilliantly fun ship like Clemson.

It seems that you have more flexibility in the Brandenburg, though both are poor ships. At least at typical operations ranges, Anhalts main battery is somewhat superior to Brandenburgs. The numbers don't show it, but my experience is that Anhalt shoots decent spreads despite bad numbers (kinda like Lenin does, though on a lower level), whereas Brandenburg is a real shotgun. Must be the dispersion curves or something. I have been using her to mix things up in ops, and she works quite well there. In PvP she is probably pretty meh with her lackluster pen, armor and mobility. And Brandenburg at least is a great ship, not a poor one. For ops anyway.

You can use ID.me to sign into the VA's portal although they are changing things next year IIRC. They will be going to a universal sign in for all US government agencies online like the VA, SSA, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met a Spanish-American War veteran there -- one of the last remaining veterans of that war -- he was 101 years old at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desmo_2 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 (edited) Thanks for the heads up...I checked to verify and yep, DD-214 is in my port!

Perhaps you could contact them to encourage some form of franchise partnership within your jurisdiction? 2 hours ago, Sambo_Cigars said: The webpage for Asia does not mention the offer to get the destroyer or anything about linking to ID.me.

I'm guessing that is because "id.me" is a company operating in the USA and hasn't expanded to the ASIA server markets, yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID.me Edited October 31 by Wolfswetpaws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
