It’s time to hunt raiders! It was precisely for their attacks on Allied transport ships that the German Deutschland-class heavy cruisers, especially Admiral Graf Spee, became famous for. In response, France launched the Dunkerque-class battleships which were to become the natural enemies of the raiders. One of these ships, Strasbourg, is now the main reward in this new naval event!
From February 27th (11:00 GMT) until March 17th (11:00 GMT), earn mission points in Naval Battles, unlock stages and receive rewards!
Strasbourg — an event vehicle Battleship for France at Rank VI
Compared to its sister ship Dunkerque, Strasbourg has more armor and the same top speed of 54 km/h. Like Dunkerque, Strasbourg’s main caliber weapons are concentrated in the bow of the ship, which allows it to avoid exposing its side to the enemy, all while firing its impressive 330 mm shells. Strasbourg’s anti-aircraft capability is weak, but this ship is equipped with a radar meaning no air target will approach unnoticed.

How to get all rewards
Each stage can be obtained for 45,000 mission points, where every new stage obtained will give you a new reward.
Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Raider Hunter” and click the “Get Reward” button.
You’re able to earn mission points in Naval Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade and Realistic Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.
You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.
Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT on March 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and 15th.

Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles
Incomplete stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced.
Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 39,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 43,000 mission points, then you’ll only need to pay 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!
The Upgrade for coupon
When you complete 8 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for Strasbourg, where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from February 27th (11:00 GMT) until March 17th (11:00 GMT) for 750,000 mission points.
After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until March 20th (11:00 GMT). Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.
To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon Strasbourg (France)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.
You can track the progress of completing stages and receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Raider Hunter. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until March 20th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.
