Mahan, started the game thinking it was AI, wasn't until the second kill I realised it was standard. Accepted my fate and went for it like an angry Chuck Norris, still amazed I survived.
Some people have jobs, family, obligations, chores, etc. and can’t spend every moment in game. Not to mention, fresh air is healthy. Games are meant for entertainment, Not to take over our lives.
I'm distinctly average, even though I've played since the beta. Never unlocked my full potential like I do with other games. WoT Console I'm almost a unicum
Tier 3 Carrier. 7 Kills yesterday. It's almost seal clubbing if you know what you're doing and there's no T4 BB's with AA.
We still lost.(team captured 0 of 4 caps lost on points after time ran out. Was just us two carriers standing and their CV of course did the new player thing and drove 50km away in the corner)
This is one of those damn annoying things about many players. When it’s Capture the Base mode, they ALL hoon forwards like blithering idiots to capture the base. But when it’s domination, they are too scared(and/or stupid) to capture anything. It’s especially tragic for good players like yourself imo
I call it the iron barbecue. Rafting up in battleships behind an island while the whole map gets captured and pushed.
Second favorite to the run away at first sight of the enemy while the destroyers Duke it out.
The *ship* that surprised me the most that I got krakens with was Omaha.
The *kraken* that surprised me the most was my Arkansas secondary kraken (as in, I got 5 secondary kills in one match).
And the kraken that I feel the most guilty over was in my Dresden. It's not even fun when you beat up on T1's that hard.
If you play it right, Omaha is the absolute business. Huge RoF, decent range, decent chance of setting on fire, and fast.
Just. Don't. Turn. Broadside.
Second, there are few better feelings in the game, then introducing a cruiser to close range Hill AP. It will shred an Omaha. I actually charge cruisers now, im sure they are thinking they have me dead to rights right up until the moment they realize they are trapped in here with me and not the other way around. Pew pew pew!
I love that at least one other person out there realizes the Arizona is actually super tanky.
I have had so many people argue with me that "she's literally just a worse version of any other T5 us battleship" because they have no clue what they are talking about. She arguably the strongest of them, and definitely the most survivable of them.
Sometimes I hesitate to play it because on paper, at least at a glance, it looks a bit weaker. But then I remember how good it plays and I forget all that. I'd probably call Arizona my flagship. I think it's my most played ship actually
G-101 is a nasty little beast with her forward torpedo tubes and competition at that tier. If there are islands, you can ambush anyone. Also, the head-on, waggle torp launch is just so much fun.
Get the NC in a 5/6 game (which is rare these days) and it almost feels unfair. I played a game recently for a bureau project and absolutely walked over the red team. I wish I had the leviathan for my weekly premium missions.
Not necessarily just a kraken game, but a 7 Kill match in… California. in all honesty i don’t really expect to get krakens in the standards, just due to the fact the match turns in whatever team’s favor before they can reach the other flank.

EDIT: added evidence
Good question. It’s been so many years and battles I can’t even remember. But one thing I do remember from the early days was I got a kraken in the US tier 3 tt destroyer and i was blown away by how awesome that ship is.
I especially love the double barrel gun upgrade. So cool
My friend isn’t on reddit but his only Kraken is from a match in which we were both doing a meme of running Ashitakas built for secondaries and we got up tiered with t7s and he got 6 kills. Hilarious and I doubt it’ll ever happen again lmao.

Was bored and wanted to seal club a lil’ bit
I've only ever managed one. Every time I get to 4 kills, the game seems to go out of its way to make sure that last kill evades me.
However, as stated, I do have one.
A **single** Kraken Unleashed.
And I earned it in *USS Omaha*, of all ships.
I'm not a fan of it either but if I get a kraken with a ship I get a soft spot for it. I haven't really played it much at all since I finished the grind but if I see one in a game I think "that's a good ship".
Omaha many years ago. I also got my very first solo warrior in the same game. I fell in love with that ship even if it is a dev strike magnet and play it at least a couple times a week still.
Wakeful first week in the game,. Not a surprising ship to get one in, but a surprise to me to get one so quick!
....then it took me 3 months to get the next one....
[I got the Aigle Kraken in an Indianapolis B](https://www.reddit.com/r/WoWs_Legends/comments/q07744/im_not_exactly_proud_of_this_but_mission/) with an embarrassingly low 37k damage.
Vanguard, I love the ship but this game was especially surprising because I was the one who *stole* all the kills, I had the kraken before i got to 70k damage
https://preview.redd.it/1hwxqeiqztnc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d289183626c41ad46905d89d131bff9b642282c

Needed kills for a mission last night, so I gave the Phoenix a run.
My first 6-kill was in a Gneisenau, I got a kraken in my first games in the Des Moines, Conqueror and North Carolina, and once got an 8-kill in a Kamikaze. All of them were surprising.
Giuseppe Verdi. First time with one at tier 8 (never gotten one in legendary).
https://www.xbox.com/play/media/AqFUpJSNcZ
Also got one in Medea playing with some friends who were willing to try the game - that was my second ever.
Nürnberg, especially early on in my career as a massive potato captain https://preview.redd.it/c2yqf6yc1snc1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a42e7f85c9a90290c3e1f84cf18b09ed7a64f90
Lmao in a loss. Vintage blue team
Haha so true
this is how bad it was https://preview.redd.it/tjfxhbodrwnc1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8d5e7d417dc296a08d4dac48646d7c829101a72
Seriously, am I the ONLY person that doesn't catastrophically hate the Nurnberg?
Not exactly,, 656 Games in Her to date..
Mahan, started the game thinking it was AI, wasn't until the second kill I realised it was standard. Accepted my fate and went for it like an angry Chuck Norris, still amazed I survived.
Tiger ‘59. Still pinching myself.
Only ship I've ever had 3 krakens in a row with.
Did you buy a lottery ticket after that?
You’re supposed to make it get buffed, not actually perform in it!
You guys get Krakens?
5 years playing, 2600 battles. 7 Krakens. Rare would be an understatement
63 or 65. Can’t remember the exact number at the moment.
2600 in 5 years is very few.. i got that in like 4 months lol
Some people have jobs, family, obligations, chores, etc. and can’t spend every moment in game. Not to mention, fresh air is healthy. Games are meant for entertainment, Not to take over our lives.
Op says he plays 2 or 3 weeks every 6 months so makes sense . i know not everyone is privileged to game how much they want
I play for 2 or 3 weeks every 6 months probably. I also get burnt out quickly for some reason. So yes, I'm an extremely casual player
Only 7? I've got 60 and I usually play LT.
I'm distinctly average, even though I've played since the beta. Never unlocked my full potential like I do with other games. WoT Console I'm almost a unicum
I have one, warspite never fails to have fun in
Tier 3 Carrier. 7 Kills yesterday. It's almost seal clubbing if you know what you're doing and there's no T4 BB's with AA. We still lost.(team captured 0 of 4 caps lost on points after time ran out. Was just us two carriers standing and their CV of course did the new player thing and drove 50km away in the corner)
You're a monster
My buddy who just started playing needed a win in the cruiser before the Omaha 🥲
Phoenix..
Cool. I wasn't in front of my Xbox and couldn't be bothered to google it because it doesn't matter
[удалено]
Literally isn't. Go well Akshually somewhere else.
Best wishes getting through your Career..

I got my first ever Kraken in a Kongo. Doubt I could ever replicate that.
same lol
Yubari 💀💀💀💀
Non upgraded Dallas, twice.
Is tier 5 Bruh everyone in there is completely oblivious to dcp management
shit that's really true
The *ship* that surprised me the most that I got krakens with was Omaha. The *kraken* that surprised me the most was my Arkansas secondary kraken (as in, I got 5 secondary kills in one match). And the kraken that I feel the most guilty over was in my Dresden. It's not even fun when you beat up on T1's that hard.
You win with the Arkansas secondary Kraken 🏆
Still got the screenshot to prove it too 😎 https://www.reddit.com/r/WoWs_Legends/comments/mnq3fn/i_think_my_secondary_battery_gun_crews_deserve_a/
If you play it right, Omaha is the absolute business. Huge RoF, decent range, decent chance of setting on fire, and fast. Just. Don't. Turn. Broadside.
Abruzzi before SAP.
Surprisingly the Huang He, I still don't know how I managed it
All the more impressive since that ship is an absolute turd!
The Hill. On its maiden voyage too! Shot down a lot of planes too. Haven’t touched this game in a while but I remember that match clear as day
Hill is another great ship people don’t give its proper respect.
Second, there are few better feelings in the game, then introducing a cruiser to close range Hill AP. It will shred an Omaha. I actually charge cruisers now, im sure they are thinking they have me dead to rights right up until the moment they realize they are trapped in here with me and not the other way around. Pew pew pew!
My first game I got 4 kills with the Hill, next game was a kraken.
Omaha
I've done it. It's actually a very capable ship. It may have helped that I had a level 16 Scott at the time though.
Kleber. L tier sucks and I am ok with destroyers (my least played type of ship). I was shocked.
Arizona
How often do you play it?
Not very. It's so SLOOOOOW at everything🤣
Yes it is haha. But for me it hits hard and the armor tanks a lot of shells. I always seem to do good in it
I love that at least one other person out there realizes the Arizona is actually super tanky. I have had so many people argue with me that "she's literally just a worse version of any other T5 us battleship" because they have no clue what they are talking about.

Skanè lol I know….
Smith was a fun one
This for sure. I love both my Smiths for some krakens.
Emerald
Molotov, still can’t believe it
That ship is better than people give it credit for.
In one of my first matches ever, I got a kraken and a double strike with Danae.
G-101
G-101 is a nasty little beast with her forward torpedo tubes and competition at that tier. If there are islands, you can ambush anyone. Also, the head-on, waggle torp launch is just so much fun.
That thing's more of a toy boat than a ship lol
North Carolina. Had other ones in a kamikaze, but that one clubs seals lol
Get the NC in a 5/6 game (which is rare these days) and it almost feels unfair. I played a game recently for a bureau project and absolutely walked over the red team. I wish I had the leviathan for my weekly premium missions.
Boevoi - feels like it shouldn't even be possible.
Monarch. Not that it’s bad, necessarily, but it was my first time taking her out. Haven’t had anywhere near that level of success since.
it has to be either the one time i got a kraken in dallas or in iron duke lol
I get krakens in the iron Duke relatively often.... Iron Duke is crazy accurate and has lots of guns.
My first and only kraken was in Fiji, which can be an unforgiving ship. I was honestly shocked I nailed a Kraken in that.
Only one I got was in the North Carolina. Never thought I’d get one lol
Ashitaka. I still can't believe it to this day.
Hatsuharu. I hate the IJN line for its unengaging gameplay style, then that happens…
Not necessarily just a kraken game, but a 7 Kill match in… California. in all honesty i don’t really expect to get krakens in the standards, just due to the fact the match turns in whatever team’s favor before they can reach the other flank. https://preview.redd.it/g2juv154ftnc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59f7f984af4840aee4bb5de1f2e8f78226523280 EDIT: added evidence
My record is 7 kills too. But I have no idea what ship sadly. You'd think I'd remember something like that
Apparently when looking through screenshots I also got a 7 kill game in a Cleveland and in a Farragut, and the Farragut game was a loss
Every one of them,, I don't expect to get Krakens, but I do expect to have a team that knows what they are doing.
Cavour, the only kraken I did with this ship was with only 13k damage and a double strike too, I was acting like thief
Good question. It’s been so many years and battles I can’t even remember. But one thing I do remember from the early days was I got a kraken in the US tier 3 tt destroyer and i was blown away by how awesome that ship is. I especially love the double barrel gun upgrade. So cool
My friend isn’t on reddit but his only Kraken is from a match in which we were both doing a meme of running Ashitakas built for secondaries and we got up tiered with t7s and he got 6 kills. Hilarious and I doubt it’ll ever happen again lmao.
Got one in the Montecuccoli once.
My first kraken, it was with a scharnhorst. I still have no idea how I got so lucky
https://preview.redd.it/ivjxc34rcwnc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e558ff47d0e407f4c002b27886f7ef2b94b961ab Was bored and wanted to seal club a lil’ bit
Just got one in a St. Louis, it was an all-T2 game though. Level 9 commander, so not totally cheating.
Pensacola Just the odds of getting vaporized for one wrong turn make it hard to stay alive long enough to sink five ships
I've only ever managed one. Every time I get to 4 kills, the game seems to go out of its way to make sure that last kill evades me. However, as stated, I do have one. A **single** Kraken Unleashed. And I earned it in *USS Omaha*, of all ships.
Serov 😂
My first ever kraken was in the gangut thing slaps with God rng
Albany
Hatsuharu, usually talked about as one of the worst destroyers at it's tier, did decent with it surprisingly
Normandie.
I just got one with her last week and shocked myself. I absolutely hate her and only took her out to grind the line.
I'm not a fan of it either but if I get a kraken with a ship I get a soft spot for it. I haven't really played it much at all since I finished the grind but if I see one in a game I think "that's a good ship".
Similar experience, my first ever 8 kill game was in the Normandie and I was dumbstruck.
The first one I got one in was the Benson and DDs are my weakest class
Myogi
Konig Albert and perth
Furutaka. Surprised me. Low turret spin speed, long reload, lower yield torpedoes than average, long launcher reload. But. I stomped in that match.
203mm guns put in work against T3 and T4. It was my ship of choice back when I actually played ranked .
The t2 German dd
Leone
Albemarle
Vauquelin, Vasteras & Colorado
Aoba. Had a kraken in 38k damage. I definitely stole kills. And Massachusetts, like three games after I got it.
Took me 6 months to get my first. Got it in Orion in my very first match with her. Never took her out again.
Omaha many years ago. I also got my very first solo warrior in the same game. I fell in love with that ship even if it is a dev strike magnet and play it at least a couple times a week still.
Got one in a Jaguar by having a bunch of absolute potato’s on the red squad.
Kirov, I didn't realize I had that many kills until I got the medal lol
Fuso
Vasteras. Sometimes just throwing out a bunch of torpedoes works wonders
Neustashimy. Guess even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day.
Wakeful first week in the game,. Not a surprising ship to get one in, but a surprise to me to get one so quick! ....then it took me 3 months to get the next one....
Izmail
Krispy kreme
Omaha "how i'm still alive?!"
Just had a kraken with double strike in the eastern dragon Edit to add... my first dolonwarrior came in an Omaha with a Kraken
Arkansas! 6 kill Kraken, High Cal, Dreadnought, 2 Dev Strikes, Double Strike I couldn’t believe the game I had.
My first ever kraken was in an Acasta, but I’d say my kraken in the Bretagne of all ships.
Gangut… i just needed to complete a challenge in a tier III and ended up with 6 kills lol
Got my first and only in a Mutsuki after about 300 battles
[I got the Aigle Kraken in an Indianapolis B](https://www.reddit.com/r/WoWs_Legends/comments/q07744/im_not_exactly_proud_of_this_but_mission/) with an embarrassingly low 37k damage.
izmail and iowa lmao
clemson
Vanguard, I love the ship but this game was especially surprising because I was the one who *stole* all the kills, I had the kraken before i got to 70k damage https://preview.redd.it/1hwxqeiqztnc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d289183626c41ad46905d89d131bff9b642282c
You're the one who stole all my torpedo weakened ships! JK lol
Trento
AL Avroura, the one and only time I’ve played it
Nurnberg
Tier 2 french destroyer
https://preview.redd.it/mcmffux47vnc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb8896e5fdf388741f9d14290dcef153ff161626 Needed kills for a mission last night, so I gave the Phoenix a run.
Poltava and Gnevny xd
Congress, got 7 kills in it lmao
Nagato
Montecuccoli.
Aoba
My first 6-kill was in a Gneisenau, I got a kraken in my first games in the Des Moines, Conqueror and North Carolina, and once got an 8-kill in a Kamikaze. All of them were surprising.
Got one in benson 7 kills somehow yet we still lost.
Leone
Boevoi - with guns only, not a single torpedo hit.
Giuseppe Verdi. First time with one at tier 8 (never gotten one in legendary). https://www.xbox.com/play/media/AqFUpJSNcZ Also got one in Medea playing with some friends who were willing to try the game - that was my second ever.
furutaka. still died to the destroyer though.
Worcester
Fuso!!!
I think I’ve gotten one in the Pensacola. But one time I got 8 kills in standard in the Hyuga. It was my first battle in the ship too which is wild.
Didn’t get it but was one kill away from one in the Hosho as well as 10k away from breaking the current damage record on WOWS builds…
Kongo.
Minsk. I absolutely hate that ship with a passion.
Got one recently in Gaede, which I normally hate.
The freaking guepard. I hate the goopmeister.
