We have to destroy 5 US ships to win 1 flag (only 1 US ship was damaged in the real battle), Destroy 5 Japanese ships (there were 5 Japanese ships sunk in the real battle...3 fleet carriers and 2 oilers), when you complete those two and play one battle u get the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot Flag (if I am reading that correctly). Not one mission involving planes to get that flag. Seems to me the marketing genius missed the boat (so to say) on this one,,,,,with the release of the Enterprise coming soon, this was an opportunity to get people playing US carriers this weekend and shoot down planes as the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot was about PLANES!!!!! Not to mention with Shokaku and Taiho in Wows and both were sunk in this battle, there could have been a mission on those two!!!! Come on WG....you're better than this. Here's what I think it should have been: Perform 30% damage on 1 US battleship (for commander xp) Sink 5 Japanese ships(they have this now) Destroy 200 planes in one day using a US carrier (flags including the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot Flag) Destroy 600 planes in 2 days using a US carrier (hard to do so a nice reward for those that want this challenge) Sink the Shokaku or Taiho (more flags or free xp) Edited June 16, 2017 by BaronVonTom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when you have releases coming up that may apply to a particular battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a game with some ship lines filled almost completely with fantasy ships. Edited June 16, 2017 by chewonit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
