if anyone wants to donate containers to me i am more than willing to test the rumors

well you know you can always spend money on rather meh ship. idk how they manage to make worse copy of silver ship... btw if you have real life, then you should have money

nah.. you can only do week 1 mission on first week, but you can do week 1-4 missions on week 4 for example. they just become unlockable on that date and you can do all previous missions. so if you only started on week 4 you will need to play all prior missions before you can begin week 4

my only problem with this campaign that it is at the same time as ranked. most of the requirements arent doable in competitive ships in ranked.

didnt it also have double fighters before?

first time read requirements and thought wtf... then i thought about it and few of them became rather easy cause i noticed they dont actually need to be done in one battle as i previously thought. btw i will pay 100$ (not really) to whoever manages to take duke of yorck into ranked per requirements in campaign

yeah it is oxymoron. and then later in season you just get regular moron but overall i like playing little later in season when most competent CV players have ranked up and you have high chances of getting CV players that send full strike into concentration of enemy AA, all the while getting his fighter killed and not spotting while enemy keeps our dd-s spotted. after that enemy CV just gets free reign for almost solo win.

i quit queue with dd in ranked regardless of tier for 2 reasons. 1. CV has too much carry potential. while i can carry other ships fine in a dd, i cant carry if i get a bad cv player. 2. i hate being spotted. btw i am not afraid of being dropped, i am afraid of being consta spotted with useless cv in my team.

if you check that link above 45k players was max and it was in july 2015.

if yo uare dd and see cv in queue, just abort

iirc at start it was 40-50k for few months, then it dropped to 30k peak. for year or two. normally in prime hours it is between 20-30k on EU servers. i wouldnt say it is growing (at least per peak players), but it has constant playerbase.

overall small crates not worth it, medium and big.. meh... chances are that you will mostly get special flags/camo, and while they are excellent i dont find them that attractive enough to spend so much money to get them all for free xp grind (cause they work best in combination of 3-4 special flags+papa papa+xp flag). for ships more or less i have all premium ships i want (although i wouldnt refuse belfast or MK, but chances are too low for them).

with bad teammates i can compensate for 2-3 players playing badly (in overall somewhat equally bad teams) and that way i can carry team to win.. or earn top xp in losing team. with good teammates/opponents i dont have that luxury. on average i will carry 1-2 out of 7 games and fight over top xp when i am on losing team. also when playing vs good opponents your mistakes get punished more easily. overall good players have more influence on game with shitty players (just dont spectate them after you die).

i just remember one season when i entered premier league with first wave... it was neverending 50% WR (well it was closer to 51-52%, but cause of no loss of star for top xp it seemed even longer). when you have all good players in both teams it seems more or less like RNG...

starting a week later makes it much easier. carrying team to win or earning top xp when you lose is much easier with more bad players.

i was generous for gameplay purposes

i am all for submarines. that way potatoes wont infect BB so much and they will be equally useless in 10kts submerged sub.

yeah i remember that also.. it was supposed to be permanent...

btw noticed it is much better to get 100% xp camo than that NY camo cause 200%xp*5%*333%>100%xp*5%*(333%+250%).

you can unlock then...

only if you have various dragon flags... otherwise it is a pain to get...

dont worry, everyone can get to rank 12. if you take time you can get to rank 10 and get that nice flag that gives you less repair cost.

dont take DD and dont take BB and hope you can get carried in CA(cause good BB and DD players can carry you). but considering your stats i wouldnt recommend you bother with ranked cause only way you will get to upper ranks is by spamming a lot of battles. (have seen bad players get to rank 1 with 800-1500 battles just depending on MM and RNG)

depends on the tier/league/skill/p2w ships. i played 4 season ranked (till rank 1 ) and must say i learned few things on the way. in my first season (4th ranked) got to rank 5 with CV rather easily, then had torture cause i took fresh captain for mahan in premier league (mistake nr. 1: fresh captain without CE, mistake nr. 2: no premium dd. mistake nr 3: played bb for few battles, mistake nr. 4: got to rank 5 too early and too many skilled players were in premier league). it was torture also cause top xp doesnt lose stars wasnt implemented then. in my second season (5th ranked) it was such a breeze with benson on t8. could have done it with less than 100 battles, but finally finished with 110 battles and 66% WR in benson (115 battles overall). learned that you should let some skilled players rank up to rank 1 before going into premier league. it is easier to carry/earn top xp with shittier teams. also learned to abort queue when i see CV in it. in third season (6th ranked) it was nightmare. took blyska for most of the season (135 battles 58%WR), but cause of too much p2w ship (read belfast) it was pretty hard to carry for me. it would have probably been easier to carry in shiratsuyu(but i didnt have it at the time). so only way to counter that was fiji and finished it in 49 battles with 61% WR. what i learned? ship choices matter. take best ship to counter specific meta. 4th season (7th ranked) i derped little in fuso (and confirmed i suck in bb), then took shinonome. probably derped too much that season, and only focused purely on winning last 50 battles or so. played it too much like random (still better than 90% of the playerbase in ranked :) ) and died on too much stupid mistakes. learned that i should focus more and play it more competitively. in all seasons dd-s were ships that pretty much decided the match (well with exception of 6th ranked season where team with more skilled belfasts won).

bought lo yang week or 2 ago just for t8 ranked. now grinding pan asian line and will probably get 15+ captain before beginning of the ranked. it is more or less benson with hydro. great concealment, good guns and good torps. easiest would be dd (well cv f you are unicum). overall most of the ranked always depend on the dd (unless there is cv ingame)
