8 New additional Flags were added to the 0.6.12 client.

Battle of Trafalgar: I am genuinely confused by this flag. The Flag depicts the badge of HMS Victory, currently a museum ship that participated in the battle of Trafalgar. I can only surmise WG is planning some event related to that ship, such as a partnership with the museum.

Vampire: This is the premium flag for the new upcoming premium destroyer HMAS Vampire.

Tirpitz: Seems WG is wanting to invest in getting flags for premium ships that pre-date the premium ship flag concept. Means of acquisition unknown.

Indianapolis: Similar case to the Tirpitz flag.

Pigeon of War: Username of one of the developers, I presume he might be hosting some form of contest to win his flag.

Massachusetts: New Flag for the upcoming premium USS Massachusetts premium T8 Battleship.

Message PNG: This flag’s name makes little sense, as its not even in a .png file, but it seems to be a green variant of the Rasputin Flag (which has a black background, not green) Not mounted on any of the villain ships in the Halloween event however, so it could be a reward for participating in the event.

HW Another Flag: Also a perplexing title to the flag. If we presume “HW” is short for Halloween, I suspect this may also be a reward for participating in the Halloween event. Just speculation.

8 New additional Flags have been added to the client in the latest update.

Dudinka – Not the slightest idea the significance of this flag and why it is in the client. This is the crest of Dudinka, a small port city in Russia. No ship’s that I can find that are affiliated with this river port in particular. Presumably a Russian server exclusive minor event.

(TYPO IN MY PIC) HMS Nelson – Flag for the ship HMS Nelson (I do not know how one goes about acquiring this flag, unless merely unlocking the ship earns you this flag?)

HMS Iron Duke – I presume that this flag is for players who unlocked her early in the missions for her before the British tech tree release.

Kii – Premium Flag for the upcoming Tier 8 Premium Japanese Battleship Kii

Siam – A Flag for the Pan-Asian tech tree

Indonesia – Another Flag for the Pan-Asian tech tree.

Korea – Another Another Flag for the Pan-Asian tech tree.

TGS07_Flag – Tokyo Game Show Flag (Presumably)

-Yamamoto: Flag that gets flown on ships with Admiral Yamamoto

Within the texture of the hull for the Minotaur, there is a picture of the evacuation plan for Crete;

Crete being part of Greece, and the story of the Minotaur being Greek Mythology, is the connection between the two.

The picture itself is the evacuation of Crete operation, from may of 1941.
