Thanks for your answer. I was hoping I missed something, which would have meant that the guns were a bigger improvement.

Just got the upgraded Main Battery for the Omaha, but statwise I don't see much of an improvement. The amount of guns on the ship is the same and in fact the name of both Main Batteries is exactly the same. Yet there are some small differences (faster reload). Are these second guns more accurate (a stat I can't find ingame)? Or is it nearly the same battery as the first one? Did I miss anything, the upgrade is 3,000 XP so I image something improved.

Just making sure, but are you playing 'random battles' or 'co-op battles'? The random battles can be compared to WoT randoms, the co-op is human players against AI enemies. The former mode gives a much higher amount of XP per battle than the second mode.

Since there is a usefull option for the XP accumulating on elited/premium vehicles in both WoT and WoWP (read: accelerated crew training) Wargaming can't be surprised the playerbase is asking for something similar in WoWS. And personally I think WG should do something about the XP for people who don't want to use gold to convert the XP on the ships to free XP. Here are a few suggestions: Accelerated crew training, just like in WoT or WoWP (possibly at a reduced speed, like 50% of the XP earned in battle goes as extra to commander training) Increase the free XP earned (instead of 5% free XP during the battle you get 10% free XP per battle) Convert the earned XP to credits (you get some extra credits per battle, this won't be a lot, but if you have a ship you want to play hunderds of battles in it will stack up, and it's better than useless XP accumulation on your (premium) ship)
