Just got a medal called "crash tester" and have no clue what its for

[chaosbringer42]

All it says is any port in a storm, and I would love to know what I got it for. Thanks. I got it on an op after bombing an enemy cv if that helps.

Wow, interesting, do you have a screenshot? :)

It was just a random battle?

It's one of several "hidden" achievements in the game. I'm not sure if it's been confirmed since, but I had seen recent mention that the best guess is that it is awarded for sinking enemy ships using each of four damage sources (fire, flood, main guns, torpedo). For the sake of CV's, I'm guessing "main guns" equals its planes in general, as apparently all ship types can earn the achievement.

So, did you happen to sink at least four ships with your torps and bombs, start a few fires, and cause some flooding?

Lol, indeed: "Crash Tester

"Any port in a storm." Can be obtained only once. Requirements unknown."

Was that enemy CV a Graf Zeppelin by any chance?
Do you have a replay or post-battle screens screenshots?

[chaosbringer42]

No screenies, not sure if replays are enabled ingame. But I was doing the weekly OP (with a horrible team no less) and had 140k damage and 11 sinks with a cv -_- (that should tell you how bad my team was). I got it about halfway through the match, and got two others as well near the end (do damage to half the enemy team 10% or more to count, 8 kills).

Well, you deserved that :)
I don't have one and have no idea how to get it :/

I did get 2 burndown kills, a flood kill, and a couple torp kills before I killed the enemy cv with a bomb, so that could be right.

Just got it, no sinking from torps, but torp damage.

It is confirmed and in the wiki, has been for a while:
"Any port in a storm." Can be obtained only once. Destroy enemy ships by at least 4 different means.
