One is the best shipgirl design in its entire game and the other is just some generic redhead.
I couldnt find it but if I remember someone on discord(BlueCord) made a sheet pointing out and explaining all the details that Acea4 added to Helena's design both in character, uniform and rigging.
You may not like Acea's style and thats ok and her Helena can be still called "generic" but she does her homework unlike most if not all AL official artists at this point.

Azur Lane has a lot of bad designs that have only been growing lately and I will be the first to call them out (like Niizuki having no references to her historical radar proficiency or Radford not being obsessed with ASW and let's not forget my rather personal hatred of Houston) but that doesn't mean all of them are bad. Hell, I doubt anyone could reasonably argue that Kantai Collection's versions of Shouhou and Z1 are better than Azur Lane's versions. The thing is, even a KC fanboy like me who doesn't think that any of KC's designs are "bad" per se had to admit that Azur Lane made a much more recognizable version of Helena than Kantai Collection the instant I compared them and as I dove deeper into AL Helena's design, it only got worse.
Of course, I was about to admit the same for Sheffield until I found out that the AL version has the gun safety standards of Alec Baldwin.
Their personalities are basically opposite, aren't they? KC Helena is pretty confident and proud of herself, while from what I understand AL Helena is on the timid side.
Ngl i probably would skip this event, like these arent even shipgirls anymore, where did the ww2 naval history went? and even worst they are forcing the french to look more like IB which damage their suppossed faction identity.
Now dont get me wrong, the character herself looks sexy and well drawn and the rigging is cool as fuck but i would lie if I say this is a proper shipgirl design, specially for the rigging as well. It feels like with each UR they released they just make an even bigger rigging as a second thought.
It still ties into WWII history, just not like others. They are real ships, but they're ones that never materialised.

Oh, what a barker who just shows off his knowledge of history. In addition, in my experience, these "historical knowledge flaunters" do not have some precise understanding of the history they are talking about, and are nothing more than a group of vanities who want to gain praise from others on the so-called "historical knowledge" they may have acquired from academic garbage. AL is not a vassal of history. If I have to say "where did history go", then I would like to say where "your as an ordinary person with at least a normal mind and no epilepsy" history has gone.

Its no more 1 to 1 history the instant they renamed their factions. Ironblood's lack of nazism, Sardegna being pretty much Rome x the Vatican, and Iris being hinted to be a theocratic monarchy are the biggest clues. And you have the alt history China. And I am fine with it.

I find it actually like a little touch for detail. Alsace (and Lorraine) was occupied by germany for 40 years and switched between France and germany multiple times. So Alsace as an Iris girl with a touch of Iron blood is a awesome detail for me

What does the region of Alsace has to do with a warship called Alsace? If Alsalce herself was captured by the germans or being designed using german BP as inspiration that would make more sense.

a -18 and -4 joker. Here's the best summary for you - IQ and EQ are even lower than Tsar Peter III and Austrian Emperor (not the Holy Roman Empire) Ferdinand I.
How down horrendous has Azur Lane's artwork become? kek
WHAT? I mean, I can see people trashing the art for being too lewd but hell there is not way someone is so blind to say this is "hideous", go and play Limbus Company lmao.

Can you read? They didn't call it hideous, they said it's "down horrendous." They were calling it "down bad", not ugly.
Compared to their launch? Yes, it's bad. Given their rival games that focuses on waifus? Not so much. Have you seen the latest Nikke skins???
True... I am giving Yostar too much flak with my prior comment. At least they rank their game 16+ on the store and stick to that as loosely as possible. I'll also state at least the quality of the artwork is always excellent, unless we remember a little design that got some heated remarks this year... I shan't comment my feelings on that.
