373 x2_Weekends Beta Testers 824 posts 2,509 battles Report post #1 Posted March 17, 2017 lmbo! So for St. Patricks' Day weekend, how could the powers that be for WoWS celebrate? What ship could they put on sale that really just ties it all together, kind of like that rug did in The Big Lebowski? Now, you might be thinking something from the geographic region of the British Isles. Perhaps you were thinking, "Hey! I know....the British Cruiser Belfast! She shares the name of a city in Ireland, its home port is in the British Isles. It fits perfectly!" WRONG! Nothing says Slainte! on St. Patrick's Day weekend like the Mikhail Kutuzov. Just say it. It even sounds Irish! So grab your bangers and mash, pour a pint of stout, log in and fire up that Soviet Cruiser and celebrate St Patrick's Day weekend and all that Irish...err Soviet...glory! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This cruiser week/weekend special was a good time to put Prinz Eugen up again, in my opinion. Edited March 17, 2017 by GhostSwordsman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. You can bit completely shitfaced and still have a fair chance of hitting a Sims at 15km in the MK. Not so much with the Belfast.
