00:00Hello everybody, Torano here, and today we're going to be taking a look at the naval prize

00:04for the Flight of the Albatross event, which is the Alcione, which is coming in at rank 5,

00:11battle rating 4.0. And like I say, it's the Flight of the Albatross event, which is a very apt name

00:16because this is basically just a copy-paste of the Albatross, which is already in the Italian

00:21tech tree as a regular vehicle. So this is a coastal vessel, it's armed with two 76mm guns,

00:28they carry 14 shells each before needing to reload, they've got a reload rate of 7 seconds,

00:34you've got a twin barrel Bofors gun at the rear here, it carries HE shells and HEVT shells,

00:41you can carry a whole bunch of depth charges, you can lay a smoke screen, it's got a top speed of

00:4720.7mph, 117 crew, and a pretty good fire director which can calculate a firing solution in 6

00:54seconds, and you've also got a search radar up here. Basically, like I said, this is just the

01:00Albatross. So we'll take this out for a very, very quick test sail just to show you how it performs.

01:08So you can see straight away, it can't aim straight down, I can't aim straight down at

01:12that PT boat, so anything in front of you is going to be fairly hard to attack,

01:18unless they're at a bit of a distance. So I've had to turn the vessel a little bit to

01:23get some shots off here, I'm gonna fire the full salvo.

01:28Yeah, so it's starting to reload, it's not the worst reload in the world,

01:33you know, it's pretty decent, especially for the amount of shells you can get out.

01:38And you can see we've basically already reached our top speed, lay a bit of a smoke screen,

01:45and there's a vessel over there, Bofors already opened up at it. Of course,

01:49Bofors is a very good gun, but doesn't have the HEVT shells like with the 76mm guns.

01:58So it takes out coastal craft very easily, we'll attack that destroyer as well, just to

02:03see how much damage we do. So we've done some minor damage, again, we're using HE shells,

02:09so they're not going to be the best in the world. And we've got up to 24 miles per hour,

02:13because of course in TESL we've got a fully spaded vehicle, the 20 miles per hour is for

02:22the unspaded vehicle. You can see against destroyers, you're not going to be one-shotting

02:27them at all, but we've taken out the bridge, we've taken out, or damaged a whole bunch of

02:31other modules. So you can definitely harass enemies that are near you, we've taken out

02:36the main turret, one of the main turrets. Of course, if they bring any attention to you,

02:43you know, if they pay attention to you, they're going to deal with you very quickly.

02:47But we've taken out half the crew on that vessel, and we've got a little bit too close to shore

02:52there. So against an already damaged vessel, yeah, this could definitely be very lethal.

02:59Oh, we've actually run aground. I'm just going to speed this up a little bit while we take out

03:06the vessel. But yeah, while we finish off this vessel, basically this event just isn't very good.

03:18I mean, the prize is okay, but I don't think people are going to be going for it.

03:23And if this is sort of meant to be a replacement for the Battle Pass Naval Prize, I don't think

03:28people are going to particularly go for it either. Like, it's just not a very good event prize,

03:34to be honest. Like, it's not bad, but especially considering the Naval Prize is missing from the

03:38Battle Pass, I don't think this is going to be a very good alternative, you know, to the Battle

03:43Pass Prize, unfortunately. If I play a few Naval Battles and unlock it, it'll be a nicer prize,

03:49but yeah, like I say, not going to go after it specifically. And yeah, basically that is the

03:54Alchone. So hopefully you've enjoyed the video, hopefully you'll join me for the next one.

03:58I've been Tereno, and I'll see you next time.
