Hello, my enthusiastic friend!
Today, I want you to meet battleship Großer Kurfürst
and her captain, Boomstick_SMDK.
Take a seat and strap in! This is Sea Smackdown!
So how does a battleship start a battle on the Okinawa map?
That's right, by picking a direction!
That's why the only option is to follow the allies
in the direction of the closest key area.
In the distance, the enemy Donskoi performed a maneuver
and exposed its side thoughtlessly.
Kurfürst fires a main battery salvo!
The German accuracy lives up to its promise.
Three citadel hits and 43 thousand damage inflicted!
It's a pity, but the cruiser managed to escape.
However, the second Donskoi was less lucky.
At first, the Soviet ship lost 16 thousand HP,
and then she became Kurfürst's first frag.
Meanwhile, our allies captured key area C,
the red team has control of key area B,
and the fate of key area A is yet to be decided.
The score is 216 to 402 in favor of the enemy team.
Our hero chose to change their course and set off to the map's center,
while sending shells to the enemy ships.
It worked out splendidly!
Dmitri Donskoi, the one that had barely avoided
returning to the Port at the beginning of the battle,
wasn’t as lucky the second time around. That's the second frag!
Despite the efforts of our Kurfürst, its now 4 vs 7!
If we are to change the outcome of this battle, we have to do something now!
The perfect solution is to sink at least one enemy ship fast.
The enemy Missouri appears to be the closest to Kurfürst.
A short artillery duel ended with a nice hit on the American's citadel.
The third frag allowed us to cut down the score spread—444 to 656.
The path to key area B is open!
Kurfürst rushed to capture the key area, at the same time firing at Yamato.
But the enemy bombers didn't let her capture the key area.
Literally the next moment,
a good opportunity to clear the sky from the pestilent airplanes appeared—
Lexington was spotted very close.
Turret after turret, Kurfürst fires a series of accurate salvos,
and only a miracle prevents the aircraft carrier from feeding the fishes.
Reloading! The fourth frag!
Yamato came seeking revenge for the aircraft carrier
and reset the key area capture progress.
Our hero aimed their shells
under the forward turret barbette of the Japanese battleship
and sank the dangerous enemy in just a single salvo.
The fifth frag! Kraken Unleashed and Confederate.
Now it's time to capture the key area!
The enemy Hindenburg decided to play a defender's role,
and couldn't disagree more with our hero’s intent.
But it didn’t work out very well for the cruiser.
She caught a shell from our hero with her citadel for 16 thousand damage.
Hindenburg tried to fight us off at all cost, but Kurfürst was accurate.
The sixth frag and a traditional medal for the German battleships
with the upgraded secondary armament, Close Quarters Expert.
We're left three versus three. No, we're versus two already!
The enemy team has just Kurfürst and Yueyang.
The German battleship from the red team is just eight kilometers away from ours!
The score is 547 to 848!
Our hero charges at the enemy with the allied Yamato!
The enemy German, without noticing its adversaries,
destroys the allied Missouri, and the score becomes 487 to 894!
Two versus two!
Yamato finishes off the enemy battleship!
The score changes again—527 to 933!
Is it victory?
Alas. The red team now consists of a single destroyer,
which decided not to take the risk, and escaped. Defeat!
Our hero earned 2,390 free experience,
and that's the best result among the players of both teams!
Moreover, 340 thousand damage inflicted, six ships sunk,
and four medals are yet more proof that Boomstick_SMDK has done their best.
We award our player with doubloons
and the commemorative flag for their achievements.
Well, if you, my friend, can battle like this, send me your replay.
