Source: Portal

Live by the sea, protect the sea, and journey across the sea!

Starts July 10 at 04:20 PT (07:20 ET)
Ends September 30, 2018 at 04:20 PT (07:20 ET)

Two vessels from the anime High School Fleet arrive to the Premium Shop! Both ships come with Commanders and voices from the anime!

HSF Harekaze – Tier VIII  

Customize Your Ride Comes with three different hull options, giving you access to three unique gun layouts.

Sneaky Rocks the lowest detectability in her tier, matched only by fellow Kagero-class destroyers

HSF Graf Spee – Tier VI  

High-Caliber Cruiser HSF Graf Spee doesn’t just pack serious heat; she’s loaded with biggest guns of any cruiser in the game!

Armed to the Teeth Big guns not enough? HSF Graf Spee‘s armed with secondaries and torpedoes that are downright devastating for her class and tier!

Anime Optional The anime look of both vessels comes from permanent camo included. Remove the camo and assign another commander of the ship’s nation for a less anime-flavored experience.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

HSF Harekaze – Tier VIII  

The Good

  • Hulls provide great options for main-caliber gunplay
  • Great high-tier trainer for Japanese destroyer Commanders
  • Good-ranged torpedoes that hit fast and hard

The Bad

  • Underwhelming top speed
  • Slow torpedo reload – aim carefully!

The Ugly

  • Worse AA than her Kagero-class sisters

Reasons to Buy

  • You want a gunboat destroyer with hard-hitting torpedoes
  • You like agile and sneaky destroyers
  • You’re a fan of High School Fleet or the anime look in general

Reasons not to Buy

  • You want an American destroyer not an anime one! – Get Sims
  • You want a Japanese ship of a different class – Get Atago

 

HSF Graf Spee – Tier VI  

The Good

  • Big, bad guns with intense AP damage and good HE ignition chance per shot
  • Despite the big guns, turret traverse is faster than many fellow high-caliber battleships
  • Good torpedo range!

The Bad

  • Slow rate of fire — your aim needs to be precise!
  • Misleadingly named Panzerschiffe (“armored ship”) — do not try and absorb blows with her!

The Ugly

  • If you already own Graf Spee, this ship offers nothing new beyond the anime flavor

Reasons to Buy

  • You like a battleship’s big guns, but prefer cruisers
  • You want a cruiser that can brawl with cruisers and destroyers
  • You want a “jack-of-all-trades” when it comes to weaponry

Reasons Not to Buy

  • You like battleship guns, but want a battleship’s durability too — Get Warspite
  • You want a cruiser with a higher rate of fire – Get Belfast
