Ships
VI ELLI has eight 152 mm guns with excellent range and firing ballistics. She can rapidly redeploy and hold the optimal range with her high maximum speed of 37.7 knots. Should VI ELLI need to get in close to her targets, she boasts a triple-tube launcher on each side to fire her fast torpedoes, and spaced armor protects her citadel. Her consumables are Hydroacoustic Search and Defensive AA Fire in different slots.
X DEFENCE has six 356 mm main battery guns located on her bow. Each shell is capable of inflicting heavy damage, and her British HE shells have great penetration and high fire-starting chances. Her AP shells have improved ricochet angles. Despite their lower damage per minute, the large-caliber main battery guns are a threat to be reckoned with.
X DEFENCE also has eight torpedo tubes, distributed evenly on either side of the bow, with wide launching angles. Her consumables are Repair Party, Hydroacoustic Search, and Short-Burst Smoke Generator in different slots.
Kitakami
KITAKAMI is a fearsome ship that enters World of Warships with the capability of launching heavy torpedo salvos. She has 10 quadruple-tube torpedo launchers, five on each side, and each torpedo is reloaded individually. Players can elect to launch torpedoes as they become available or amass them over time to unleash a mighty wave of destruction! She carries two types of torpedoes: fast, lower-damage torps with a 12 km range and hard-hitting deepwater torps with a 20 km range, similar to those of VIII ASASHIO.
Take care to keep X KITAKAMI hidden by making good use of her concealment parameters and Smoke Generator because her small health pool and exposed citadel can lead to a fast demise if you position her too aggressively. She comes equipped with Exhaust Smoke Generator, Engine Boost, and Repair Party.
The ship comes with a permanent camouflage, and she has standard economic bonuses for her tier. She also has a reduced post-battle service cost. Commander retraining isn’t required for this ship.
X KITAKAMI will not be distributed in any other way for the next 2 years in-game after the end of this event. No plans for her future distribution, but players will be informed if this changes. The permanent camouflage for Kitakami will remain exclusive and only be available during this event. The other ships will not be distributed in any other way for at least a year.”
