Hi everyone!
This is Sea Smackdown, the most spectacular show in World of Warships.
Today's player represents the RU server and is called xxBEDAxx,
a curious name for a captain.
This player operates Japanese Shimakaze like a real ninja.
"I'm stealthy, I'm invisible, I'm incredibly dangerous"—
that's the creed of our hero.
Now let’s review their warpath.
As a true destroyer, our shinobi started the battle by capturing a key area.
The Codex of ninja-destroyers reads: "Capturing key areas is half the battle".
The second half is sinking ships.
Torpedoes are ready, and 15 deadly shurikens surge forward!
Enemy samurai Zao had barely seen the ocean—
that's how fast she went down to underwater ningyo.
The rapid destruction of a friend
discouraged three other enemy ships in that part of the map,
and they retreated.
No problem!
The Codex of destroyers reads, “If there's no enemy around, find them".
Our hero didn't waste any time and set off in search of a target.
Close to key area B, daring destroyer Fletcher
and an unknown ship from the Yamamoto clan hid in the smoke.
Only the red tracers gave away the position of the unknown ship.
Our Shimakaze-san got closer to the enemies.
A lightning-fast release of torpedoes at the American!
Akizuki had been spotted!
That's her, a successor to the great Isoroku.
The third spread from our ninja set off at the Japanese destroyer.
Just a moment, and Akizuki was sleeping with the gyo!
However, Fletcher avoided the torpedoes.
But our hero had more than shurikens.
Finishing off a retreating enemy using primary armaments
was just a matter of a few salvos!
Third target down!
It's a pity that our hero didn't get the Double Strike.
Meanwhile, the score was 505 against 731 in favor of the enemy team.
Our hero rushed to the dojo of key area B.
Two battleships were within sight of Shimakaze.
The first portion of torpedoes went for Bismarck.
The Iron Chancellor noticed the threat too late.
The fourth frag!
But the key area was still blocked for capture.
A Missouri was standing still behind the island like Atlas holding the skies.
We needed to beat her!
Not with power, but with finesse!
The Codex clearly reads,
"Only the last warrior standing feasts upon a key area capture!"
Our ninja evaded spotting.
Missouri, tired of waiting, set into motion.
The remaining third spread of torpedoes was launched
directly across the battleship’s route.
The American’s radar discovered the destroyer, but not her torpedoes.
That's a hit!
The fifth frag!
Both Kraken Unleashed and Devastating Strike obtained!
Shimakaze-san captured the key area all by herself.
Anyone else in our destroyer’s position would burst into song from such a success.
However, a true ninja never celebrates a victory so early.
Moreover, a British Conqueror had appeared nearby.
The battleship had a strong intent to recapture key area B.
But today, no one’s going to stand a chance against Shimakaze’s torpedoes.
Our hero added several salvos of primary armament kusarigama,
and vanished in the smoke.
Conqueror became the sixth enemy sunk.
Confederate and High Caliber!
Our team takes the lead! The score is 708 against 705!
It wasn't in vain that Shimakaze had defeated six opponents
and captured two key areas.
The third area is on the way.
You can already smell the sweet scent of victory in the air!
While our hero was capturing the key area,
suddenly three allied battleships
Musashi, Tirpitz, and Missouri were defeated at once.
Allied Moskva joined them moments later.
And then, our ninja was left together with Ognevoi
against two cruisers and an aircraft carrier!
The sweet victory sharply became a bitter defeat.
But "one that does not fight until the last turn of the propeller screw
is not a ninja”
These are the exact words that you can find on the last page of the Codex.
There was an aircraft carrier
Midway in front that, in that moment, very much resembled Ryūjin
a dragon and a true sea Lord.
The situation was very dangerous:
the aircraft taking off were about to detect our hero.
But we had already released the torpedoes.
The score is 787 against 917 in favor of the enemy team.
A barely alive enemy Edinburgh was within sight.
If we fire now, we will give ourselves away ahead of time.
At that moment, Ognevoi perished!
Midway noticed the threat,
but four torpedoes smashed into the aircraft carrier hull nonetheless.
She is now a step away from her journey to the underwater kingdom.
Our hero just helped the gruesome enemy, and that's the seventh frag.
There's still Edinburgh.
The kusarigamas shower the cruiser with HE shells non-stop.
We need to play till the last breath!
But what's that?
Revenge of the fallen dragon!
Airplanes!
Like bloodthirsty tori, they come at our ninja.
Bombers!
The deck is on fire!
Our hero doesn't give up and finishes off Edinburgh!
But the bombers are unstoppable!
It's a defeat!
Yeah, to say the least, I'm highly upset!
That was true drama!
To our hero's credit, they fought bravely.
The result is impressive:
247 thousand damage inflicted, eight ships sunk, and 2,300 free XP earned.
But just a single torpedo crushed the hope of our hero.
So, just to relieve the bitterness of a defeat,
we award the player with doubloons and the Sea Smackdown commemorative flag!
And you, my friend, remember:
whoever you turn out to be, a winner or an underdog,
we're always waiting for your replay.
