Everything, barring some strange future weekly mission.

Just wanted to do a ninja topic before the community team posts their news article. Two options: Ultimate bundle - 39.99€ Texas Port slot 5850 doubloons 100 x ESCL-signals 100 x ZH-signals or Just the ship - 20.45€ Texas Port slot Both are available in the shop for a total of 8 days.

Yup, that one...

Are you absolutely sure that the signal counts but not premium account? Because it's the same bonus. It would also be different from how the other mission works.

Just... just... no. There is a 3 character abbreviation that fits this thread. I'll give you a hint: The middle character is the number two.

Has been like that since the start of the event. 1-2 AFK every battle, people launching random torpedoes at enemies way outside range, large groups camping spawn on domination etc.

Aside from the intern-level Shimakaze and Kagero nerf, the patch has been a good one.

It's the same as with the 2.5k XP mission. Base XP + premium account bonus.

The 100k XP mission is working for me now. Don't know if it missed any of my earlier battles, but at least it's registering XP.

Domination all day, every day. Less "camp until you win" and DDs can actually get some reliable scores.

A fellow collector here, which means... yeah I think you can figure that out. For WoWS (so excluding WoT) I've spent just under 600€ and yet I've never converted any free XP or converted to credits. I've also bought premium time for WoT gold, so add a bit more if you want to count that.

I probably wouldn't be able to deliver a 2.5k base XP battle if I'm put on the spot to do it within a timeframe. At least not before breaking some computer equipment over RNG, donkey teams, MM etc. But I actually happened to make the goal today even though I didn't have to, since I run premium. That's sadly not something I can reliably repeat.

It's the horrible spotting system of Steel Ocean brought into WoWS. Where every ship gets spotted at exactly the same range regardless of if they fire or not. No thanks.

I got 19 kills across my 10 CV battles.

Spot the awkward typo:

There is only one reason why I'm hesitant to buff secondaries in any way, and that is because they are AI controlled. Having to select a target doesn't really change this. I would be okay with offering more options for doing a secondaries build, like skills at more tiers and secondaries upgrades starting at lower tiers (for Mikasa etc). In any case, I feel that if you're expecting your secondaries to be your ships main focus when you build around them, then you're not really getting their purpose. I have a Nagato built around secondaries, but all that does is give me an edge in close range combat and that's exactly what I'm looking for. They add a bit of extra dps and can really mess up DDs if they decide to stay around for too long. They also do a good job of finishing off enemies between main gun salvos if they are left with a sliver of health.

For people who want to try and keep on track for completing the missions you might want to do what I'm doing and set up some incremental goals. Since i'm going for full completion (1000 diamonds) I've put up daily goals of 17 battles/day to give me some leeway if I have to skip a few days. I try to mix it up with different classes and keep the number of kills fairly even. So far it seems unnecessary to make kill-goals since they seem to come much easier than the actual number of battles. So as long as I keep up the pace, those missions won't be a problem. We'll see how fast the 5th weekly mission goes when it's added, but I see no reason why 17 battles/day wouldn't be enough to get 100k XP in a week, even playing low tier. Those who have less time during weekdays might want to weigh that into the calculation and raise the goal for the weekend instead.

The crates are one-time-only. So I would recommend that you wait until the end of the event before getting anything, so you know what you can afford.

Met Aerroon on Thursday when I took out the Saipan for a spin. He was in the Hiryu so I had a small panic attack when I saw him on the enemy team, since I'm a CV noob. But just like he predicted, he couldn't magically make his teammates not suck.

Got more... 20 more, for a total of 36 new slots. I'm falling into old WoT habits.

If you get a tier 3 premium for it's performance, you're doing it wrong.

Straight up bought 16 slots. Might even get more.

Pay to get premium time, port slots, premium ships etc... oh wait.

The problem with using premium time as the basis for a conversion rate is that premium time has a price range, not a static rate.

I'm as certain as I can be without being omniscient, that it's not going to be close to this bad. What we probably will see is a lot more lower tier battles as those go much faster in general and, as you pointed out, cost a lot less. It's going to take a long time before people get the 100 kill missions done and could realistically start AFKing themselves through the 100/300/500 battle missions anyway.
