I mean if you're okay with what is essentially piracy, then sure. Isn't HSF (the actual anime) literally behind a paywall as well?

It's a F2P game. This is how it turns a profit. Everything can't be free. We're getting a collection for flags and a Yamato camo for free. We're literally just ending a campaign where you get a tier 7 premium ship. But you know, WG is clearly greedy.

If you're looking to get the captains as well, the big bundle with all of them includes the Harekaze camo as well as some other stuff (doubloons, dragon flags, captain XP missions etc).

That's not a requirement.

It's +200% captain XP for every battle in either HSF Graf Spee, HSF Harekaze, Musashi or Yamato.

And the HSF camo adds a further +50% captain XP.

They come with all the HSF captain packs, including the big captain bundle. Not included with the ship bundles though.

I fine with that.

Sorry, about that guys. I think my first Musashi battle took it down.

The most anticipated premium ship in a long time being expensive? Nooo, are you sure? Jokes aside, it's priced to match demand. The HSF captains are in a similar position of being completely uninteresting to people who don't want anime captains, no matter how low the price is. But fans will buy them for the voices and for the novelty at prices which would be too high for any generic 10 point captain.

But that's the better option, right? Prohibitively expensive combined with unmatched earning potential is not a good way release ships. She's still better than a tier 8 for grinding and I would say, from initial impressions, at least as OP as the Missouri. I think they made the right choice. They made a mistake with the Missouri and instead of doubling down on the earning power creep, they reigned it in.

This camo for me has made it past the bad threshold and ascended into the realms of "So Bad, It's Good". The other Kobayashi camos were just bad. This is something further beyond.

Ooor since you have Fire Prevention you will be having a single fire burning often but shorter, that you can let burn (and repair fully later). Musashi also shares the best torpedo protection in the game with the Yamato. My experience with the late tier more sluggish big BBs is that even with Vigilance it's too late to avoid torpedoes that you spot yourself and didn't anticipate.

I don't think I would focus that much on AA/secondaries. I would probably go for just a vanilla survival build. http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/1000000000100010100001000100000119 Your build would work much better on the actual Yamato.

But no accuracy mod for the 6th slot?

Wait, now I'm confused. I hope you're not saying that Musashi can mount Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2?

I thought the campaigns were nice, assuming you were doing them just to basic completion. Finishing them "with Honors" was a bit of a drag since a handful of the tasks were... let's just say not very good.

I love that you didn't even bring up the huge water tower on top of the superstructure.

Seems like it's kind of a whiplash effect of playing very seriously (hardcore?) before you left and then coming back to it with that general mindset, but due to being away from the game for a long time not being able to just pick back up where you left off. Maybe you don't even enjoy playing anymore? I have experienced this several times in other games and the only thing which has managed to save it for me in that situation, is playing with friends. World of Warcraft, World of Tanks, RIFT etc. When you take a break and then decide to give it another go it's naturally a lot harder to do so. And if you were losing interest in the game before you left, then it's even harder.

Maybe they had everything ready for Darlan and when they were pressured into changing him out, the only option was to just make him completely generic or they would have to remake everything to fit a new historical naval officer. Don't underestimate the power of development cycles and the effect of having to push stuff back.

I think you mean prejudiced.

For me the first reason is probably looks. If I like to play a ship a lot, I enjoy having a good looking and historical camo mounted. The second reason is that you don't have to bother with single use ones, so you are saving on ones you already have or at the very least a 22.5k credit camo each battle. As for the XP bonus it helps a lot when you're often left with a captain on the ship which you basically only level using that specific ship. If you already have a 19 point captain then obviously it becomes even more useful for getting free captain XP.

I'm of the opposite opinion as someone who probably buys more perma camos than most. I prefer when new reward camos share the same bonus as the ones you buy, otherwise there would be no point in getting them if you already have one. Now you can pick the one you think looks better, or just swap them out temporarily for the winter theme. The camos we got last year in the Santa's Convoy are a good example of useless camos unless you for whatever reason normally just use the cheapo credit ones.

I don't know. When I was hunting my 90k damage with the Kamikaze R, my team seemed to prosper from it.

Deadlines always get me going even if it's just for a small badge on my profile which only I can see.
