185 [-DPF-] Nhi_Vanye Members 774 posts 11,104 battles Report post #4 Posted July 28, 2016 Iwaki Alpha is a cruiser (as you can see in your screen shot). It was the reward ship for Alpha Testers, and so, it is very rare, but has been around for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

295 [BONKZ] Amogussy Members 888 posts 11,881 battles Report post #6 Posted July 28, 2016 It's a cruiser that was given to players that tested the game during the Alpha stages of development, hence the A in the name for Alpha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

972 [-K--] Killjoy1941 Members 3,075 posts 6,658 battles Report post #8 Posted July 28, 2016 It's the Iwaki Alpha, an exclusive reward for the alpha testers. It's a light cruiser, not a DD. If she or Arkansas Beta are ever released to the rest of the playing community, you can bet she won't come with the "Alpha" tag at the very least, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if she had different stats/module configurations as well.

That 1-2 minute window isn't always enough to trigger the notification that new posts have been added. It always cracks me up when that happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

9,545 [GWG] BrushWolf [GWG] Alpha Tester 29,408 posts 15,834 battles Report post #18 Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) The Death Pickle is one dangerous beast. Not only does it have smoke it has 10 Km torpedoes, if you are in its gun range you are in its torpedo range. Edit: The OP was actually right to an extent. The Japanese used CL's as destroyer squadron leaders and they went into combat with them. Edited July 28, 2016 by BrushWolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

293 QJW Alpha Tester 1,150 posts 5,747 battles Report post #21 Posted July 28, 2016 It has camo. Well, I meant that as in its stealth rating. It has a 10.5km spotting range but 10km torps, so usually if you want to hit BBs at range, you have to show your cards first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
