It's not pretty clear. That suggests that I only need blueprint 3 to get Iron Duke. Whereas on the EU page they describe it as such. https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/common/fish-and-ships/ Quote The following blueprints will be available to earn in the missions: Earning one blueprint unlocks the Tier III Bellerophon Earning two blueprints unlocks the Tier IV Orion Earning all three blueprints unlocks the Tier V Iron Duke and its commemorative flag I reread the original article. Quote Collect all three blueprints to earn some British battleships and jump up the new British battleship tree when it’s released! So I guess that's that. And those articles have never been wrong nor needed corrections, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each Blueprint is tied to a ship. It's clearly written. Considering that the EU server says that you have to collect all three blueprints to get Iron Duke, I'd prefer to get some clarification from WG NA. If they say that netting just blueprint 3 will give you Iron Duke, then fine. However, because of the way it is now, it suggests that there's little point in getting blueprint 1 and 2 unless you really want port slots and those two ships. As getting only blueprint 3 allows you to jump to tier V and get the commemorative flag. This strikes me as odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are playing on the NA server so I would put stock in only what the NA news page says. Servers don't run everything the same way. But really it all seems moot as just playing the game normally over the course of a week should finish the UK mission for that week. I will get all three because: A) I play the game so it's just naturally going to complete the missions B) I want to play all these ships, not sure why anyone would want to skip ahead C) Free port slot alone is worth finishing these simple missions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple missions? After finishing part one of the four part one mission I collapsed in celebratory exhaustion. Part two was even tougher, all those citadels I had to hit, when I usually have trouble hitting anything smaller than a battleship at 2 km with a small nuke, and even then, usually by accident.

Tier 4 in Co-Op is your answer... Damage.. V-170 DD and go torpedo mad... Fires on BB's Phoenix... Torp Hits on BB's.. V-170 (point straight at them.. hit with both bow tubes, then turn and smack 'em as you go past.. secondaries and main batteries are innacurate enough to do this easily cits.. Phoenix.. load up AP and look for the other phoenix.. minimum 4 a match as you pass by.. final mission can be completed in a V-170 if you go completely crayshit straight of the bat. Did mine in a V-170 and got 6 kills and 123k damage.. you just have to be first into the fight and go crazy with the torps. M 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These missions that can be done in Co-Op I always look at the lowest tier allowed then plan the ships I use to get the result I need.
