The chance of getting a duplicate on the 4th box is 1:8, from 100 forumites about 12.5 will have the same bad luck.

Hey @Wulf_Ace, nice to meet you in battle. I got accidentally into this battle, as my nephew started it without selecting the Ryujo that he wanted to play. I took control and expected a loss seeing our team’s initial position, but Christmas struck your team even more.

Near 2700 base XP Kita Christmas run:

Same here, actually it feels real which is an achievement. People getting annoyed by kids is strange.

Azuma, Hayate and Agir are fun ships to play. I personally prefer Agir over Alaska in randoms. Hayate is not OP like Smaland, but versatile and fun. She’s a bad rep, because of the price tag, but with no alternatives to spend your freeXP, she’s a good choice. Azuma is underestimated. She’s stronger on her tier than the Yoshino. Just don’t be afraid to use your AP on broadsides.

You can finish the grind in a few hours. Citadels can be farmed in coop (with Roon for example), commander XP with flags and camos, main battery hits is close to the finish.

Playing ranked silver in the last few days of the sprint. I did not want to progress more stars, just played for fun, but the fun was spoiled by the suicidal DDs and BBs around.

Announced on the Brasilian stream today.

WG doesn’t want to talk about changing the match making. They have already admitted the existence of a honeymoon period in WOT. Who knows what else they have rigged.

And then I’m going to do exactly like your avatar.

Trenlass' review is out in Youtube:

Seen her on Trenlass' stream. Also on Youtube now: Secondaries are only 10.5km and inaccurate. Main guns not reliable. Trenlass hates the ship: "The gimmick is not working, give it at least improved secondaries... The ship is garbage... Marco Polo is at least average"

Yes, it's not a secondary ship.

I unlocked the ship. The maneuverability is excellent, I don’t miss the armor, but the guns are not punchy at all. I racked up 84k average damage over 3 matches, which seems to be good, but I had 0 kills and lost all matches. I was using HE a lot. I don’t know if it’s me, or the teams, or the ship that has no carry potential. What are your impressions of her?

Maple Syrup stats from last week:

If I were WG, I’d release her around Christmas when people are willing to open their wallets, and would release her for coal + cash to make a quick money grab.

Actually, she plays like a battle cruiser. High speed and fast turning, BC dispersion.

Finally grinded the Napoli. Strengthened her with a bit of steel to make her durable:

Prime Gaming rewards are out with 3 (small, medium, mega) Santa crates.

I reset the Shima line (don’t have the Haru yet) in every 6 months, on the last day of the RB season. The next day I freeXP the line and reset it again. Then I freeXP it again, so I only spend the credits once for two resets. Sometimes I play a couple of matches with the Yugumo, especially on 200% bonus days. I can get 40k RP in every 6 months.

Novorossiysk Novoport Newport run: Also expanded the fleet:

I had a Newport run today with Novorossiysk, five stars, 8 kills, first of the team. Also a T8 random with 3 kills, second of the team. It's not so bad.

Stalin is still OP in ranked. I acquired her a few days ago and don’t have the nostalgy bias of how it was once.

Most of you picked up a couple of new ships, either for coal, steel, from crates, or by any other means. Let’s share our initial impressions. Which are better or worse than expected? Which ones are fun? Which one feels like a new goto ship?
