New Premium Ship DD-214


Taylor3006

Recommended Posts

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.

Why would you get/play the Anhalt if you have the Brandenburg?

It seems that you have more flexibility in the Brandenburg, though both are poor ships.

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.

For the snowflake rewards and it was cheap (I have a lot of coal).

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.

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.

Do we know if DD-214 is going to be permanent or only temporary? I'm going to Great Lakes on the 21st lmao

Both are solid if you know how to use them.

Anhalt is garbage and pretending otherwise is delusional

So you don't like her. Some do, including me, so I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I got DD214 at login along with Demo Matt and Fat Electrician captains. Sweet!

Is this offer only for the NA server? And how does one link one's 'ID.me account with Wargaming'?

Not sure about just NA but here is a link with all the particulars and instructions on how to link everything up. You must have an ID.me account btw.

This is a very cool and completely unlooked for surprise, thanks for the heads up @Taylor3006 🫡

I've never felt good about signing up for id.me though.

I felt the same way until the VA endorsed them. 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.

I've never had anything to do with the VA from the patient end, though I did work at a VA once when I was doing a rotation in anesthesiology back in 1981. 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.

In case anyone was wondering - the missions for the 2 commanders are open to everyone. I [participate] on both missions and have the first one active right now in game.

pretty much this. I wanted to see what she was like mostly, see if she was as bad as I'd heard.

Does the Demolition Matt commander make your dispersion worse since he doesn't ever zero his sights?

The webpage for Asia does not mention the offer to get the destroyer or anything about linking to ID.me. There is only a mission to obtain a 6 point captain. I guess this offer is for the NA server only.

Thanks for the heads up...I checked to verify and yep, DD-214 is in my port!  I love the name, too...😆

*edit - I found the official news article after I read this post.

Yes, the company "id.me" operates in the USA, as far as I am aware.
Perhaps you could contact them to encourage some form of franchise partnership within your jurisdiction?

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?
