Alcione — an event vehicle Gunboat for Italy at Rank V
Alcione thrives in shallow water and among rocks. This ship is armed with two 76 mm SMP-3 cannons, Bofors anti-aircraft guns and Hedgehog mortars! This mortar is not easy to aim, but if you take the enemy by surprise, an accurate salvo at a short distance can sink an enemy destroyer.

How to get all rewards

Zitat:
Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Flight of the Albatross” and click the “Get Reward” button.
You’re able to earn mission points in Naval Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade and Realistic Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.
You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.
Zitat:
Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT on July 26th, 28th, 30th and August 1st, 3rd and 5th.

- For 2 Stages: one of the decal rewards
- For 3 Stages: trophy with a random reward

Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles
Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced.
Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 30,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 33,500 mission points, then you’ll only need to pay 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!
The Upgrade for coupon
When you complete 7 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the Alcione, where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.
Zitat:
The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from July 24th (11:00 GMT) until August 7th (11:00 GMT) for 600,000 mission points.
After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.
Zitat:
To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon Alcione (Italy)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until 11:00 GMT on August 12th. Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.
You can track the progress of completing stages and receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Flight of the Albatross. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until August 12th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.
