Total pearls possible per player should be 407 122 from weekly and one-time missions in week one 57 pearls each week after that, for five weeks (as weekly missions should refresh monday and the 24th February is a Wednesday) making it 285 285 + 122 = 407 And even if it were only five weeks total, the possible total would be 350 pearls. Now we just need the 10,000,000 total

Yeah, the secondries... put all captain skills and flags in to give them more range. Now they fire at 7.8 km (or so..) which often lead to funny situations... "running away" from a DD who came up from behind and wanted to torp me. Turn rate allowed evading his first salvo and as I didn't turn my main guns to shoot at him (was targeting a cruiser at my bow) the DD tried to get closer for a "cleaner spread". Shortly after getting into secondry range I just heard a "Boom" behind me and got the "sunk a destroyer" message going straight ahead against a Fuso, showing her my bow to be as small a target as possible. A Königsberg attacks from the side and peppers me with HE (?!?), then get's closer to use his 6 km torps against me. Used my stern guns to shoot at him, while the bow turrets were reloading, and got him to 20% health (or so), before going back to fire the bow turrets. Boom... "you sunk a cruiser"... well, my secondries did... but the most funny moment was, when I managed to drive between two enemy CVs, having on on each side of my Warspite.. while shooting at a BB far away in front of me, the secondries alone took out both CVs... was some really rare situation, never have seen anything close to it again... It's good that the Warspite isn't an easy to play ship, 'cause if it were, way too many people would want to play one

Considering that my highest ship is a T8 Mogami I don't see myself as a "high tier" player, but once in a while I get matched with T9/10 ships. And I must say, that I do not see a great difference between the teams I have when playing T5/6/7 to when playing T8/9/10. Many "High Tier" players play as dumb tactically handicapped as those on lower tiers... Or to say it different: Who would be the more dangerous opponent in a T5 match a T10 ship owner, who has a 45% (total) WR and managed to get to T10 by doing just the needed number of matches in the lower tiers to advance or a player who never got higher than T5, but has a 60% WR in the 5000 battles he had on T5 alone? And about the Kill Quests... I don't have any problem with them. Might be because I don't play any different for those missions. It's normal for me to scan the area around my ship for "easy targets" and ships that could be taken out with a single shot/salvo, as every opponent sunk is a step on the way to victory.

wenn man davon ausgeht, daß viele nur das "persönliche" Ziel (150/250 Perlen) erfüllen, schneiden sie sich aber ins eigene Bein. Denn mit weniger Perlen pro Spieler erhöht sich die Zahl der erforderlichen Spieler, was gleichzeitig die Chance eine Kamikaze zu erhalten noch weiter verringert. Oder auch: wie man's macht, macht man's falsch Naja, "peinlich" ist es aufgrund des Aufruhrs wegen der "Verlosung" ja eigentlich eh schon. Insofern würde ein Fehlschlag auch nicht mehr viel ausmachen.. im Gegenteil, dann würde wenigsten KEINER eine Kamikaze kriegen und es würde kein Neid aufkommen

Well, considering how close Russia and China are with each other nowadays *cough* it might be intended to "rub one in" ...even if the flag won't be shown in the chinese version, it would still show up in screenshots etc.

Just a small tidbit... Yesterday 1 mio pearls were reached. Today only 200k pearls were added. Considering what has been posted here (and german forum) about gathered pearls per active player, we have about 15k players with 80 pearls each right now. So we need at least another 9,500 active players to do all one-time and weekly missions to be able to achieve the needed 10 mio pearls 'til the 24th of February. An indicator that we are on the right way would be if Sunday night comes and we reached 2,950 mio pearls. 'Cause that would mean that 24,500 players had done all missions available and probably will continue to do the weekly missions the whole time. Of course that also would mean that about 90% of player doing the missions will NOT get a Kamikaze.

Yep, gerade in den niedrigen Tiers, wo es mit dem Nachschub an Flugzeugen deutlich hapert, ist es vollkommen ausreichend dem Gegner einfach die Flieger - Jäger zuerst, damit man freie Bahn für die eigenen Bomber hat, danach halt seine Bomber - mit dem ALT Angriff aus dem Spiel zu nehmen. Ohne Flieger kann der gegnerische CV noch rammen (oder auf seine Sekundärgeschütze hoffen ) aber ist ansonsten nutzlos... Und das schöne ist: man muß nichtmal nach dem Träger suchen, um ihn derart aus dem Spiel zu nehmen... die gegnerischen Flieger tauchen in der Regel an Positionen auf, wo man sie um einiges leichter bekämpfen kann, als den Träger selbst, der ja zumeist hinter den feindlichen Linien und ggf. durch andere Schiffe geschützt anzutreffen ist...

Der Zuwachs an Perlen hat aber schon gehörig nachgelassen. Derzeit (Mittwoch, 22:30 Uhr) sind es gerade mal 1,191,939 Perlen gesamt. Also sind nach dem - erwartungsgemäß - großem Ansturm zu Beginn heute "nur" knapp 100,000 Perlen dazugekommen. Wenn das jetzt so bleiben würde (*) wären das in 33 Tagen gerade mal weitere 3,3 mio Perlen für insgesamt gerade mal knapp 4,5 mios (*) ...wobei nicht berücksichtigt ist, daß mit jeder weiteren Woche ja nicht mehr die "Basismissionen" für jene zur Verfügung stehen, die sie bereits erledigt haben, sondern nur noch die wöchentlichen Missionen. Angesichts der hier geposteten Werte schätze ich mal, die meisten teilnehmenden Spieler haben derzeit ca. 80 Perlen auf ihrem Konto. Macht (angesichts der o.g. Summe an bisher erwirtschafteten Perlen) knapp 14,900 teilnehmende Spieler. Sagen wir einfach mal 15,000 Bis zum 24.02.16 bleiben uns noch fünf Wochen. Eigentlich viereinhalb, aber die wöchentlichen Missionen sollten ja am Montag neu starten, und der 24ste ist ein Mittwoch.. ergo drei Tage mit "frischen" wöchentlichen Missionen. Die einmaligen "Basismissionen" bringen pro Spieler 65 Perlen Die wöchentlichen Missionen bringen pro Spieler/Woche 57 Perlen, in sechs Wochen (18.01.16 - 24.02.16) also 342 Perlen pro Spieler. Dazu die 65 "einmaligen" macht 407 Perlen pro Spieler, der tatsächlich alle Missionen in jeder Woche erledigt. Bei 15,000 Spielern die derzeit(!) scheinbar aktiv am Geschehen teilnehmen kommen wir somit bei Ablauf der Frist auf gerade mal 6,105,000 Perlen. Es müssen also noch weitere 9,570 Spieler aktiv ins Geschehen eingreifen (und über die Zeit volle Leistung erbringen) um die 10 mio Perlen zu schaffen. Um tatsächlich eine gute Chance zu haben, die 10 mio Perlen zu erreichen sollten am Sonntag abend also ca. 2,997,540 Perlen erreicht sein. Dies entspräche 24,570 Spielern, welche die in der ersten Woche maximal möglichen 122 Perlen pro Spieler erreicht haben. Kleinere Abweichungen aufgrund von Spielern, welche die einmaligen Missionen nicht gleich in der ersten Woche erledigen (können) blieben bei dieser Berechnung unberücksichtigt. Achja... 24,570 Teilnehmer bedeutet, daß 90% der Teilnehmer KEINE Kamikaze bekommen.

Kann eine super taktik sein. Annahmen: Man hat - aus welchem Grund auch immer - eine angeschlagene Jäger Staffel mit wenig Munition und eine komplette Jägerstaffel mit voller Munition. Ergo benutzt man die angeschlagene Staffel um einen Nahkampf mit den gegnerischen Jägern einzuleiten, und diese damit an einem fixen Punkt zu binden um dann die eigenen Reste und die gegnerische Staffel mit dem ALT Angriff abzuräumen. Je nach Situation also durchaus eine vertretbare Option...

But that only works if there's capable people available to division with, which, considering the amount of tomato divisions I've seen on the battlefields, doesn't always be the case. Or to say it different: two 30% WR / (average damage / 2) players don't suddenly become magically better just because they play in a division.

Don't get me wrong - I am ready to pay different prices adjusted for regional income (for example) as long as other conditions are the same.

Boring ships should not be possible in WoWs, as all the ships are made of metal, which the Teredo navalis or Shipworm or Bore Worm cannot bore into. The other option of using divers to bore ships could only be done with ships not moving for an elongated amount of time, like when in harbour. So imho there's no possibility for boring ships in WoWs.

Y'know, every time I see one of those brightly coloured monstrosities I can't help thinking "The circus is back in town!"

Customers should be treated the same, independent where they live, So there should be the possibility to buy ships without any shitty (for some people) useless bundle, as it is possible on other servers. And the Kamikaze should be given without a lottery. To keep the number of ships low, just give it to people gathering a certain amount of pearls. With the given conditions, it should be possible to gather about 400 pearls per player until the 24th of February. So give the Kamikaze either to everyone gathering those 400 pearls or maybe to the first 2000 players gathering 400 (or any other number WG management can pull out of it's... data). But a lottery is utter crap, because it doesn't give credit for players willing to spend their time to reach the goal. Giving players who only gather the minimum of 150 pearls the same chance for winning the ship as someone who gathers the maximum possible is just plainly unfair. As it is now, people should just stop playing (or at least stop playing so the mission conditions are fulfilled) after they achieved 150 pearls, as doing more won't be rewarded.

Uhm Yep... stop torping allies and you'd have more credits... That's what you meant, right?

Kein Bug... Keine US Navy Spezialität... IJN Jagdflieger können die ALT Fähigkeit genauso einsetzen und sind dabei auch nahezu gleichwertig... 6 US Jäger sind dann auch schnell vom Himmel geputzt... Also nicht jammern, sondern üben, üben. üben... Achja.. geht auch besonders gut gegen schön im Pulk anfliegende Torpedobomber

Ich hab auch 82, könnte aber im Idealfall schon 122 haben - erfüllt halt jeder die Missionen unterschiedliche schnell...

I can't see any reason to rage about my opponents, 'cause either it was my fault when I got sunk or I was outplayed by a better player. Alas, raging about my TEAMMATES... well, let's say it's good I usually play during daytime when my wife is at work, else she would surely say something about my choice of words and the volume they are uttered in..

Small tidbit going through my mind... 10,000,000 Pearls are needed to restore the plans... we got 38 days to complete the greater mission. That's probably 6 weeks - 5 full weeks and another 3 days - so it should be possible to do the weekly missions six times. 57 Pearls for all the weekly missions per week multiplied by six = 342 Pearls. 65 Pearls for the missions that can be only done once. That's 407 pearls in total per player who does all the missions during the full time the greater mission runs. This would mean that 24,571 players would have to do it this way. But... what if 30,000 players do all the missions the whole time? The goal would be reached earlier, but the chance to get a Kamikaze would be lesser, due to more players. Or even worse... lets say 20,000 people would work hard for the goal. Getting all the pearls they can -> 8,140,000 total.. the other 1,860,000 pearls are done by 12,400 players, gathering only the 150 pearls needed to get into the lottery. Not only did 20,000 players work harder for the goal - their chances to get a Kamikaze are the same as for those doing only the minimum of work. And what if the 10,000,000 pearls are reached before the 24th of February? Will Project R end then? Or will people gaining 150 pearls AFTER the 10,000,000 mark has been reached STILL get into the lottery?

Being proud for being lucky and win something in a lottery? Really? Proud??? People see you driving around in that ship and all they will think is that you're a lucker, 'cause probably they did the missions like you did - or maybe even more - and were just unlucky with the lottery part. Nobody will say "Ooooh, look.. he got a nice ship because he worked his donkey off to earn it.." So really nothing to be proud of, imho

Screenshot der Kiste anschauen feststellen, daß das Öffnen der Kiste 0 (null) Perlen benötigt Option in Betracht ziehen, daß ein "aktiver Spieler" einer ist, der Perlen erarbeitet hat, im Gegensatz zu jenen, die sich zwar auf der Webseite angemeldet haben, aber keine Perlen erarbeitet haben

Exactly. Why should one do those missions after reaching the 150 pearls needed to participate in the Kamikaze Lottery? Maybe it would be nice to get one lot / ticket for the lottery for every 150 pearls achieved by doing missions? So someone gathering 450 pearls would have his account put in the lottery three times, giving him somewhat better chances to win a Kamikaze.

The one with the most important class of ships in the game: the team with more DDs of course!?!

Don't play on weekends.. at least not during the day. Unless you're a masochist, of course...
