no idea... how long is your coupon still valid for? You said something earlier in the thread, but I kinda lost track... maybe @MrConway, @Crysantos or one of their colleagues can provide an answer in time? might not hurt if you provide further details too @black_falcon120, like some sort of screenshot showing your coupon in as much detail as possible so the WG guys hopefully have all the necessary information to answer this?

not really, no. The winrate difference (which, together with Leningrad having better average baseline, also accounts for the PR) is pretty inconsequential at those sample sized (lose ten out of the next fifteen and you've mostly closed the gap), and you actually do slightly more damage in the Lenin...

I think I got a chappy... which is so completely irrelevant for me that I'm not even sure anymore...

okay, then why don't you go ahead and implement all of that. Only gonna take you a few years, I reckon... ...ridiculous amounts of effort...

T10 BBs do take quite a lot of getting used to, fat slugs that they are That said, no point in going through that experience gathering phase right now if you're not having fun doing it. You can always keep the ships (selling would be a massive waste of credits), play something else for a while (as someone already said, other classes! the fresh perspective really helps!), and try another dozen or so games at T10 in a month or three whenever you feel like it.

https://wows-numbers.com/ have fun digging! Is the Boise even for sale anymore? I thought that was a while ago?

Cruisers are food because Battleships exist. Especially at T5 where almost every cruiser has a gigantic citadel and no armour. There are a few more, but yes Grem and Kamikaze (with its clones) invalidate every single T5 silver DD. Either one of them would, and there's two of them. Giulio Cesare is the ship you're looking for - another T5 premium that had to be straight up massively better than its silver counterparts so it would sell in the face of dreadful T5 matchmaking. Although personally, unlike good mister @Saiyko I wouldnt put it anywhere near Grem/Kamikaze levels of hilariously overpowered.

CBs have been T10 so far, and I havent heard anything about that changing anytime soon. Endgame content and that. Although there's absolutely nothing stopping anyone from organizing their own custom battles with any ruleset they want - that's what Training Rooms are for, after all. I bet there are clans out there that would be willing and able to get organized battles at, say, T6 rolling occasionally.

no idea on the Arky to be honest... as for clans, there's all kinds out there, everything from hardcore competitive to "I just want to have a clantag but otherwise couldn't care less" - you just need to find the one that's right for you. Best place to find one that suits you is the relevant forum section

depends on how they're feeling, really - some of those codes are a lot bigger. Like, Tirpitz level big. Absolutely no guarantee that's going to happen, so please dont get excited now because I said this, but it's possible.

that is a very real possibility, actually. When WG does these things, there's quite often the odd bonus code to be had...

sort of what we've been mostly saying, isn't it? Between the Arkansas and the Texas, you've got a decent setup of premiums to practice BB gameplay with, and unless you really mess up you can also make some profits in regular ships around that tier. If I recall correctly, your coupon gives you a flat huge lump sum of Dubloons, right? If so, there's nothing (well, except human nature wanting the shiny things I suppose) forcing you to spend it all in one go. That's sort of the beauty of dubloons. You can get a chunk now, maybe spend some of it on a decent T4-6 premium cruiser since you said you currently enjoy cruiser gameplay. And then just keep the rest of it for later. I can understand your "if I have premium time I feel like I have to play" standpoint - but dubloons allow you to turn that around. When you know that you'll have a relaxed weekend with a good few hours free to play Warships, you can just throw a few dubloons out and get Premium time running for those specific days, without "wasting" any extra time.

the most? no offense, but no you definitely can't, at least not at this point. However, german BBs are relatively forgiving thanks to their turtleback armour, so you should be able to get something out of her - you'll just have to adapt quite a bit, because the Shiney Horse is anything but a traditional BB. Picking your engagements and targets is crucial, and that just comes with experience. As time goes on and you improve, you'll also be able to make the Scharnhorst perform better and better for you. Whether you want to buy the Scharnhorst right now, likely perform rather poorly at first but have the potential for a fantastic and very unique ship later on, or whether you want to go for a more traditional, "safe" option in Warspite or Arizona where you already know what you're getting because they're so similar to the silver ships is up to you.

I've said this several times already. Your ship does not matter nearly as much as how well you do in it. On an equally good performance, yes the Scharnhorst will make more than an Arky or Texas - but especially the Arkansas with its protected T4 matchmaking is much much easier to do reasonably well in. It's your skill that decides your earnings, not your ship. And yeah, one would almost think that might have somethign to do with cruisers as a class just not being all that great, especially for newer players, outside a few completely idiotic outliers like Belfast and Kutuzov that WG (hopefully) will never sell again...

Scharnhorst, useless? lolnope it aint, just isnt quite as one-dimensional to play as the average BB...
