Hi all, This is all speculation because we still don't know whether we will get free "upgrade" of current 19-point captains to new 21-point captains... BTW, when this was done in the past years ago (IIRC last time when the captain points were changed from 17 to 19 points) - it was "free" path "upgrade"! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, With 5th directive finished I got 13 items and 12 duplicates = 16 items in total... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, WoWs economy - how fast and how much FreeXP can you earn (in view of 2.000.000 FreeXP price for the upcoming Tier X EU DD "Smaland")? With the upcoming Tier X EU DD "Smaland" cost of 2.000.000 FreeXP it is, IMHO, high time to talk about WoWs FreeXP economy... I just calculated that in past 11 months (ever since I bought "Azuma" - my last FreeXP ship because I skipped the "Friesland" in autumn of 2019 because I don't fancy the torpedoless DD - I have all other FreeXP ships) I earned and currently have a grand total of 2.100.000 FreeXP. In other words that is about 190.000 FreeXP per month for me on average (but, for example, last month I earned "only" 110.000 FreeXP). Is that much? Is that low? Also, let us NOT forget, the high FreeXP earning Operations "Dynamo" and "Cherry Blossom" are absent from start of 2019. and they no longer provide easy and fast FreeXP earning experience! The only way to earn FreeXP in large enough quantities are playing and playing with "Special Signal Flags"... and they are not that easy to acquire (nor cheap)... So... what is the rationale behind the 2.000.000 FreeXP price for Tier X EU DD "Smaland" when, practically, the FreeXP earning has diminished significantly compared to the past years? How fast are you acquiring FreeXP and how much you have it collected? Leo "Apollo11" P.S. My FreeXP timeline: 03.06.2017. = "Missouri" = almost 2 years worth of acquiring the 750.000 FreeXP - it was long long long grind 21.10.2017. = "Nelson" = almost 5 months for 350.000 FreeXP 18.02.2018. = "Musashi" = less than 4 months for 750.000 FreeXP 09.06.2018. = "Kronshtadt" = less than 4 months for 750.000 FreeXP 03.03.2019. = "Alaska" = 8 months combined for 750.000 + 750.000 FreeXP 01.04.2019. = "Azuma" = 8 months combined for 750.000 + 750.000 FreeXP 10.03.2020. = 2.100.000 FreeXP (didn't buy the "Friesland" because I don't fancy torpedoless DD nor I fancied the 1M price) The "Missouri" grind was hard... not many special signal flags at that time...

Hi all, [POLL] Have you played new "Key Battle" Halloween event battle type? Do you like it? "Big Hunt: The Key to Victory!" https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/big-hunt-the-key-to-victory/ I tried it but, IMHO, the cost/benefit (and fun factor) of time spent in "Key Battle" Halloween event battle type is not worth for me... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Why is the EU Tier X DD "Smaland" considered "over popular" (in light of DevBlog: Changes in availability of several ships)? Here is the article: DevBlog: Changes in availability of several ships https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/95 But if you take a look at actual numbers of the "Smalland" - they are the lowest for FreeXP ships... Here is my topic about that: Leo "Apollo11" P.S. Now they changed the DevBlog entry...

Hi all, Currently at 11/16 with 5 duplicates but with 17 more containers to get... so it seems that the task is feasible after all... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I wholeheartedly recommend the "Massachusetts" ! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I have 2.5M FreeXP right now and out of all FreeXP that ever were I didn't buy (equaling 5M FreeXP) : "Friesland" "Hayate" "Smaland" I didn't buy them because I didn't like the "Friesland" and "Hayate" at all but I thought about the "Smaland" for some later date... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Lost of discussion at Reddit about this thread of yours! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Interesting... they added some "classic" rewards now... "The Key Battle: Even More Rewards!" https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/big-hunt-the-key-to-victory/ Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, October 2020 - Analysis for number of "Dockyard", "Special Event", "Research Bureau", "Steel", "Coal" and "Free XP" high tier ships on WoWs EU server... I posted similar thread 5 months ago: Here are the current numbers... source is the ("ProShips.ru") same as before (they still have the highest number of unique Player IDs per ship)... https://proships.ru/stat/eu/s/99999- Dockyard: "Anchorage" = 11.323 [new +11.323] "Odin" = 29.954 [new +29.954] "Puerto Rico" = 15.146 [was 14.476 = +670] Special Event: "Benham" = 9.874 [was 9.612 = +262] Research Bureau: "Colbert" = 3.371 [was 2.535 = +836] "Ohio" = 6.442 [was 4.112 = +2.330] "Paolo Emilio" = 388 [new +388] "Siegfried" = 2.689 [new +2.689] "Slava" = 2.559 [new +2.559] Steel: "Black" = 6.535 [was 6.428 = +107] (was also reward for Ranked long time ago) "Bourgogne" = 5.300 [was 3.488 = +1.812] "Franklin D. Roosevelt" = 469 [new +469] "Neustrashimy" = 527 [was 513 = +14] "Shikishima" = 2.317 [new +2.317] "Somers" = 4.397 [was 2.998 = +1.399] "Stalingrad" = 14.479 [was 10.122 = +4.357] (was also reward for Clan Battles long time ago) Coal: "Georgia" = 37.636 [was 26.836 = +10.800] "Jean Bart" = 41.921 [was 41.238 = +683] "Marceau" = 5.917 [was 1.856 = +4.061] "Pommern" = 21.238 [new +21.238] "Salem" = 25.638 [was 23.267 = +2.371] "Smolensk" = 43.032 [was 42.023 = +1.009] "Thunderer" = 33.796 [was 20.279 = +13.517] "Yoshino" = 26.774 [was 20.630 = +6.144] Free XP: "Agir" = 13.692 [new +13.692] "Alaska" = 39.692 [was 32.306 = +7.386] "Azuma" = 14.210 [was 11.984 = +2.226] "Friesland" = 17.006 [was 14.442 = +2.564] "Hayate" = 1.462 [was 455 = +1.007] "Kronshtadt" = 21.194 [was 20.981 = +213] "Missouri" = 27.440 [was 27.265 = +175] "Musashi" = 34.243 [was 33.967 = +276] (was also available for Coal IIRC) "Smaland" = 3.929 [was 2.186 = +1.743] Did I , possibly, forget some ship (and different availability)? Special Note: Although some ships are not available any more their number increased - I think this is because some owners played their 1st "Random Battle" with her in the meantime (i.e. this is what counts in stat site)...

Hi all, Yep... just saw... I changed my initial post (strikethrough)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, RGR - will do that! Leo "Apollo11" P.S. Done!

Thanks! BTW, did you post it on Reddit as well? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Did "Public Test" (PT) missed one cadence? As far as I remember the "Public Test" (PT) always happened 1 week after release of current WoWs... in other words it should have happened this weekend... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Good point... very good point... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I see more and more of this... almost every day... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, This is what we have right now: Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Hmm... the "could" is very very "if" related (i.e. 1 "Battle Point" = 75 credits but consecutively earning 10.000 "Battle Points" per game is pipe dream for 99.99% of players)... I really don't think that reliable farming of credits is possible here... Leo "Apollo11"

HI all, My 1st container of the day (I always choose "More Resources") brought me this - not great but not bad either! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I can confirm... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Latest approximate popularity of each class in WoWs (comparison from 2020/05/19 to 2020/10/27)... Source (all credits to "CardinalSanctis"): Reddit Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Yep... noticed that as well... but Aslain already fixed it! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, IIRC this is the first time in long long time that we don't have MiniMap MOD available... I miss my AutoSpy... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, RGR - thanks for info! I was thinking along the line of the full functionality for the Replay module (with on screen "VCR Like" commands when needed etc.)! BTW, with few recent patches, many players reported in several threads inability to play replay files at all (or they played one day and didn't the next day)... Leo "Apollo11"
