Imo the portrait is one of the better ones, although it won’t make me switch off of Lock.
My point was primarily: Why steal from the poor whilst the rich get richer?
In this case the UK is very poor but not flat out broke like France, but Germany, Japan and Russia are drowning in ‘money’ (top tier ships).
Whilst I don’t think you’re actually ‘stealing’ from the UK, I just don’t understand why one would complain the UK is getting something at all, I’d more agree if you complained that France wasn’t getting something if that makes sense.
Got to wonder why they choose this ship out of hte 5 available, this particular one mostly being famous for there being a film of it sinking… and then ban showing the film…

If I recall she was the most successful at Jutland having the best accuracy and hits.
She also never got upgraded due to being sunk so she makes the most sense to represent QE class in ww1 configuration when she dhad her finest moment.
I believe she was partially upgraded, not to the degree of Warspite but evident in the smoke stack reconfiguration.

yeah she got a mid war upgrade but never the full upgrade of the others how we picture the QE class
I think I’m SOL on this one, because the current stage of the event requires, what, V Rank vehicles? I don’t have them, and at this rate, I won’t be able to acquire them.
I’ll still partake in this event, though. It’s another incentive to keep playing, and perhaps also an excuse to work on my British tech-trees.
Can be done with any rank vehicle, but Rank 1 to 4 gives 0.9x multiplier to rewards, Rank 5 is 1x and rank 6 is 1.2x

Normal vehicles must be Rank 3+, can only use Rank 1-2 if they are event vehicles:
Battle pass vehicles count as event vehicles too fwiw. 👇

I actually mistook this for that one other event which earns you an avatar. Sorry. ^^;

“We” don’t all view the QE class in WW2 configuration - for me they are classic at WW1 configuration and W2 is when they were obsolete.
Any of them in WW1 config is iconic. All of them in WW2 config are sad old girls.
And getting the highest proportion of hits at Jutland is NOT what this ship is famous for!
As has been noted no, it doesn’t.
And the x1.9 modifier for being Naval makes it a great deal easier than any of the others!!

One little thing you can do to boost if you are using low tier Bluewater ships and have completed (or almost) the Coastal tree, is to include a Tier V coastal boat, and use that at some time during the game. Or even T IV if you have only gotten that far.
I often use mine first to cap early, or last (or at least towards the end!) to cap later. I’ll even sometimes blow up a perfectly good blue-water ship to bring it - especially to bring it 2nd, then blow it up and bring a backup for that blue-water ship.
That last scenario is common when it’s a really good game, to maximize the score for the event. Not worth the cost for a bad game tho’.
Warspite is by far the most famous and she earned her rep mostly in her ww2 configuration.
like I said…
And in fact Warspite’s gunnery doesn’t get a mention in the top ships for the RN at Jutland at all - that goes to: https://www.jutland1916.com/tactics-and-technologies-4/gunnery-performance/
In contrast some of the best shooting ships were the Invincible , the Inflexible , the Barham , the Valiant and Jellicoe’s flagship, the Iron Duke .
What she was famous for at Jutland was getting her steering damaged and doing 2 complete circles to get it fixed, taking her toward the German fleet and becoming the center of attention and suffering about 15 gunshot hits!
So perhaps the most efficient target?? ;)

Yeah that was pretty funny story (now) but must have been terrifying at the time
Just waiting for her to be one tapped by everything with ease though in WT
Yeah I was testing her on the protection viewer and the Russian ap and scharnhorst ap can detonate her at practicly any angle. God I hope the naval protection viewer is broken

Is this event getting an extension for the time the game is unavailable during the update??
