So I went to the techtree, clicked on her and yes, I could buy her for gold! Not sure was her original price was. But since the Oleg T3 cruiser cost 2000 Gold I think it is in the range of her original $ price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You paid the right price; No bargain, No ripoff. Still.. it's a fantastic fun boat for $15. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I think Okhotnik looks goofy as all heck, she certainly has unique character in spades. I kind of enjoyed having a ship that not many other players had, or had even seen. That honeymoon period is probably over, now. No biggie. She is a lot of fun to play if you understand her. If you don't, you will eat a lot of torps and might not enjoy her so much.

Not gonna lie; it's one of the few DDs I can reliably drop upon with my Langley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What makes it really great is the Russian navy actually built it although I think they took some license with how many guns it carries but there was a Okhotnik that they called a torpedo cruiser that was later re-classed as a DD.

They must be reaching out to people who don't buy premiums or something. Okhotnik is the only one that you can buy that I don't have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No... association with a terrible rental program with no info .. selective client list to play and buy ... major screwup that I’m sure they’ll fix, but bad PR for them all in all just saying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think what Wargaming did with the rentals was a great idea both from the marketing perspective and for players. It offered our fellow gamers access to a ship they may have missed out on when released and it makes money for the company to keep the game going. I hate ship exclusivity with a passion and am glad to see her in more games. Once WG works out the bugs, I hope they continue doing this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,517 [SYN] MrDeaf Members 15,354 posts 12,506 battles Report post #25 Posted October 16, 2017 I am enjoying all the easy Okhotnik kills, because a vast majority of people don't understand how to make it work. well, okay, that's a double edged sword. I am somewhat frustrated by the Okhotniks on my team that die very easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
