Hi all, Finally... the 39th container brought me the "Icarus Personal mission"... it must be the new "record" for bad luck... 12 (1st week) + 12 (2nd week) + 8 (3rd week) + 1 (WG) + 1 (Bonus) + 5 (bought) = 39 containers Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Thanks for sharing this! The numbers are really really low... BTW, it would be interesting to calculate the full odds for example me with: 12 (1st week) + 12 (2nd week) + 3 (3rd week) + 1 (WG) + 1 (Bonus) + 5 (bought) = 34 containers... and still NOTHING, NADA, ZERO, ZILCH getting NOTHING if we take the German discovered numbers as baseline probabilities for both" Regular" and "Premium"...

Hi all, Ranked "Season 10" - Observations I must confess that I had total "burnout" regarding this Ranked season... constant alternation of "Ranked" / "Clan Wars" / "Events" lead to over saturation and players (me included) really doesn't like it because they feel like they "MUST" do something instead of just playing and enjoying the game... I have reached my usual goal of "Rank #10" with fewer battles yet (IMHO going below Rank #10 requires too much time and effort - this time there is nice "Steel" reward and I would really really love to do it but I simply have no time). I played 21 games (14 victories and 7 defeats - out of those 7 defeats I was #1 in my team in 4 occasions so I had just 3 reversals in total). I only played my trusty BBs (I used my "Alabama" with great success before and this was my first time with my "Yamato): Discussion I have played this "Ranked Season 10" very slowly - just a few games per week if that at all - so I experienced battles at the start / middle / end of the season. I use "MatchMaking Monitor" to see how good/bad players are in both my and enemy team (Please note: for ranked it shows only stats for currently used ship by player in current season). In most games I was the only player with my ship ("Alabama" or "Yamato") in Ranked Season 10 with WinRate above 50% and with damage worth mentioning - sometimes friendly/enemy ships had OK damage but their currently used ship WinRate in Ranked Season 10 was still below 50%. Nonetheless teams were rather good and played well despite stats - there was even nice coordination and chat! There were, of course, instances where1-2 players yoloed and died very quickly but, generally speaking, I was very very pleasantly surprised to see that players know what to do in game! Please note this same behavior happened regardless when I played (i.e. the start / middle / end of the season). The worst part, for me at least, of the Ranked Season 10 were CVs. As luck (and MM RNGesus) would have it when you have CV in game it usually means that one side has: UNICUM "purple" stats CV with 60%+ WinRate, 100K+ average damage and 2 kills per game in their currently used CV in Ranked Season 10 and the other side has: BAD "red" stats CV with 30%+ WinRate, 30K+ average damage and 0.5 kills per game in their currently used CV in Ranked Season 10 As one could guess the side with worse CV was doomed from the start... Leo "Apollo11" P.S. I noticed that, perhaps for the first time, we don't have any thread pinned for current (and soon to be over) "Ranked Season 10". @MrConway ?

Hi all, So you are "in the same boat as me"... I wonder what is probability that we didn't get a single mission of those 30+ Containers... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Thanks! Hmmm... it worked for me just now... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I play very sporadically lately... and usually very late... but if I see you guys we can organize... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Would you in his place (it was his 1st and only post BTW)? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, The very last ship you unlocked is the "Fushun" (and you have all DDs from the same line below it)! Since all those ships are from the "Pan-Asia" I have sneaky suspicion that you don't know what you should have known about the "Deep Water" torpedoes they use... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Around 120... now it constantly hoovers between 105-115 ... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I don't get "Salty" at all by using "MatchMaking Monitor" - my use for it is as follows: I don't disclose what "MatchMaking Monitor" reports to either my team nor the enemy team I check what is the most dangerous opponent(s) and I try to engage it/them myself whenever humanly possible I check my DDs and carefully observe what they do (especially at start) - when you see DD with hundreds of games in ship type together with below 10K average damage and WinRate of 30-40% you simply don't follow I check CVs (when present) and decide my whole game strategy depending on CV disparity (if present) Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Who said that "Missouri" got nerfed? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, #1 Goodbye "Dynamo"... you were great and I can't wait to see you back again! #2 Who said that "Missouri" got nerfed? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, My 2nd "SuperContainer" so close to previous one! But... but... I have 500+ on these already... My luck is running extremely low lately (especially with RN event:12 (1st week) + 12 (2nd week) + 3 (3rd week) + 1 (WG) + 1 (Bonus) + 5 (bought) = 34 containers... and still NOTHING, NADA, ZERO, ZILCH.... ) Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, My ordeal continues on... to say that this is beyond ridiculous in understatement...... 12 (1st week) + 12 (2nd week) + 3 (3rd week) + 1 (WG) + 1 (Bonus) + 5 (bought) = 34 containers... and still NOTHING, NADA, ZERO, ZILCH.... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I found interesting thread on Reddit about it: Leo "Apollo11" P.S. There is also 2nd thread but it just links to above one:

Hi all, Thanks for info guys - much appreciated (also nice and civil discussion)! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, From WoT: "World of Tanks: Flexible Premium Account" https://thedailybounce.net/2018/10/01/world-of-tanks-flexible-premium-account/ Hmmm... Interesting... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, How fast is your "Free XP" gathering? After I checked my stats I saw that I had the following timeline: 03.06.2017. = "Missouri" = almost 2 years worth of acquiring the 750.000 "Free XP" - it was long long long grind 21.10.2017. = "Nelson" = almost 5 months for 350.000 "Free XP" 18.02.2018. = "Musashi" = less than 4 months for 750.000 "Free XP" 09.06.2018. = "Kronshtadt" = less than 4 months for 750.000 "Free XP" 28.09.2018. = Ready for "Alaska" = less than 4 months for 750.000 "Free XP" The "Missouri" grind was hard... not many special signal flags at that time... "Nelson" was easier but after that I switched to "Premium" time and lots of signal flags become available... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Yep... "Dynamo" is the OP to "Farm"... I have my special singal flags stashed just for it (and "Cherry Blossom")! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Last week I had 3 "Conquerors" DIV in enemy team for 2 consecutive matches - I was in my "Yamato" in both. The first match they burned down everything and even though I did, IIRC, around 100K we lost miserably... The second match (I couldn't believe my eyes seeing them again - and I even had 5 mins of port time) I warned my team about them and we planned and executed our tactics/strategy beautifully - it was easy victory! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, IIRC it was said by WG that Smoke = column of infinite height and thus different from islands which have definite height... Leo "Apollo11"

HI all, IIRC some time ago I saw one documentary about them on "ViaSat History" and they were restoring the "130"... that must be the very same ship... Leo "Apollo11"

HI all, Somehow I managed to acquire 100.000 "Free XP" in past week... Hopefully the "Alaska" will come soon (with 870.000 "Free XP" and all other ships already present I can afford it)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Have you unlocked "Yamamoto Isoroku" and/or ""William Halsey" ? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I asked because I don't recall seeing may "special tracers" that depict them commanding the ship... so I wondered how many players did actually grind them... Leo "Apollo11" P.S. Perhaps some players don't enable the "special tracers" and deliberately set them to OFF (i.e. in order to "hide" who is commanding the ship)...
