i guess so ^^... see no reason y not, as in doubt people speccing more captns than necessary=more money. on the other hand essentially special captns now can be specced for several classes. as in: essentially less captns are needed to run the same fleet. any outstanding premium f.e. which needs an own captn now can be manned by, let's say, a legendary one with a different spec than the nations class silver counterpart. one quite can play around with that feature i think, will be interesting.... and giving me more spare 19pters for upcoming additions .... in general, on the skillsets part so far, ............ ....*nuffsaid

- each single captn will have essentially up to 84 skill pts to spent, 21 max for each class - earning next skill point will essentially earn 4 skill pts, 1 for each class - the ship class the captn is on at a particualr moment will determine which skillset is active. bb set while on bb's, dd set while on dd's, etc. - each captn, like now, can be bound to 1 particualr silverline ship. he can use his other skillsets on prems of different classes that's what i read there

referring ur question, it doesnt matter how long it takes, as in doubt all these ships have different dmg profiles on their sec shells (pen, dmg, etc.). what does matter is the ammount of hits in a set timeframe.... just sayin'^^. if it's all inbetween a certain treshhold it's all fine "praise rngeesus". well, if not u might be on something there.

10/10, all of it ! interesting idea with the plane on a dd. quite worth a test i'd say, in doubt may even for another nation.

lol "grown-up".... "grown-ups" simply would ignore the whole thing.... so, where is the karma directly connected to cv play?! specifically?!..... getting reported for? does it influence the cv play in any way?! or your general gameplay?!?!..... same for evidence rofl.... woat evidence?! feel free to share that evidence lmao. and everything else cv related, the hate in particular, is well documented and discussed in the cv discussion thread (seesee^^)..... so grow up 'n git gudd

besides the absolute right approach of playing a ship that fits one, there's one exception imho. at least if it's an available choice.... and that's the ohio. t10 massa, just as tanky as monti, but more umphh overall and the short cd heal. woat not to like?!

so....essentially this is about nothing but gettin reported for playin cv?! late to the party u are.... with either getting reported for playing cv, just as for the discussion about the karma system in general. sry, can't see the "specific" part here btw. even less in regard to cv's lol ^^.... just a karma thread in disguise, #vote4close p.s.: dont play cv, problem solved

there's packs in prem store atm which give tokens as addition. he said he buys prem each month., thus, at least doable... btw, black friday containers afaik got the highest chance to drop ships.... i congrat u OP, just got a trick u might like: don't buy prem time! ever!.... some may won't support my personal strategy, for me it works like charme: - collect the money u'd invest into prem time over the year and buy the mid-x-mas crates! though the content and inner mechanic of those changed over the years, still u could get quite a lot of prem time out of them (could one lol?). on top of a sheetload of other stuff.... usually i yet got out like all ships possible over the years, each costing me appr. 10 bucks (including the rare ones). any other stuff came on top.... i'm not sure if last year prem time been in (thinking so atm), neither if it will be this year. but if, that's my approach. and mostly i got out with like a full year of prem time. my personal investment is like 200 bucks (appr. 17 bucks a month), while usually not getting dubloons or prem time solely from the shop. and even if prem time is not in any longer, just take the dubloons from the drops and buy it ingame. btw: my very first x-mas crate, 1st stack in the 2nd year, contained kutuzov... just about about luck.... and even me once got a prem ship from a regular supercontainer on choice for ressources. the perth... by that time i just had it already meeeeh lol...

hmmm... simply could've asked bout the ship then?! or check stats?.. i mean..... huh?!.... options: - scrap it for credits - portqueen - play sheep?! wut? play?! :D..... bit of misleading the whole thing here imo as with any other ship choice... read above

.... and there lies ur answer why nothing gonna change in regard to ur request: u get that feeling? fine, buy dubs and convert ship xp into free xp! play or get played is the question here.... f.e., my personal approach to wows xp economy: - level several, if not all lines at once (in theory!) - play a ship and move on to the next, no matter if winning or losing (spreading the risk to not get daily bonusses) - after having all through, repeat with the ships u lost on in line - try to get daily xp bonus on as many ships as possible - use free xp only to unlock modules, if at all, in the start - if lines maxed out, farm for free xp solely. u'll never have to grind lines u dont want to again. just unlock by a few clicks and a few hundred k fxp for captns/prem ships: - try to have silver ships for ur prem suitable captns, in doubt keep em in port or respec captn for the right combo - the more prems u can play him on the better - go for the daily bonusses, in addition to ship grind or better in line with. same roster as ship grind - focus on one captn first, play him daily for the bonus. bring him up to 19 pts - when being maxed out, keep on playing him daily for elite commander xp! on as many ships as possible - don't mind other commanders progressions, they will progress - as soon u can max another commander out to 19pts with elite xp, do it! - if by cahnce for low input, get prems for the 2nd one if u have none yet - back to start, just with the next maxed out captn. rinse, repeat: at one point u will be able to max out any new captn u get instantly ;)... in both cases camo/signal combo ofc can speed up the progression by miles!

dunno if it has been discussed b4 widely, can't recall so. fee lfree to point me on if so. so, here we go: how about different tiers for different leagues in cb's? would start with gale at t7, squall t8, storm t9, t10 for typhoon and hurricane: - different metas on different tiers, so rather no stale gameplay troughout the whole season - uneven tiers in, so 2 leagues without cv's (winwin?) - not so advanced clans without too many high tier ships could take part what do u think?

given the rather dynamice spread of ships over the tiers, so some are better suited than others being lowtier, i'm not that sure if a pts system really would be a better approach. but might indeed would be a better approach to shift after a few?

this indeed could mix it up lol, on the other hand it got some tweaking problems for sure, as the tiers are rather dynamic. by now i think this is the best approach overall as well though.

... now it's really getting interesting :)! from the scratch i like the idea amking it asymetric somehow. but i think indeed a pts solution like mentinoed down below might would be better. as i did myself only start to buy ships back when having all the 10's indeed this might be a problem. necessitiy to invest money/credits to be able to play ata ll in doubt. on the other hand somehow that is the case already, may just would get worsened.... good point, thx! indeed i would find it more appropiate to have shifting tiers in that regard. i mean, what makes a good team? excersing the same ol all over, or adapt to new environments? ofc i can see the pts for no shifts within a season, on the other hand i think these are some of the major reasons mostly cb seasons rather play stale? to mash that feeling a bit up, in combination with odd tiers in, it not necessarily would mean the t7 up to t10 model btw, could be any mix. again ur right on the captn side, though i think that could add up to the mash up. and give wg potentially more incentives to the players to invest into their account (or might even the other way round lol^^). if only the captn respec would stand as positive in the end, i think we can scratch this lol. the "pts solution" somehow. me gusto, though one really would have to measure the pts relation carefully. the tiers are kinda dynamic enough to in doubt screw it up. this would be the low-fat variant i guess :D..... sounds good to me :). yep, i guess there lies kind of the highest burden for a mix up. peoples ressources and in doubt their lack of will to kind of being dynamic. in the end it's a matter of participants, timeframe and meta/changes. i'm not sure tbh if this would be the case/it would take too much time to see significant impacts, for that i dont know enough about the numbers. with global seasons i might could see it work regardless. nevertheless good point. even though none i directly would tie a decision about this to though.

dang, true.... matter of numbers i guess :/. didnt think of that directl, thanks!

....and with upcoming additions my bet is steel will be rendered even more worthless. with, at some point, may even getting out of the game and being fully replaced with coal solely? i mean, rp's are so much more convenient to wg, aren't they? steel: by now easily obtainable by several means. dont wanna play competetive? fine, boost some directives and alike and essentially indirectly buy it for money... rp's: by now only obtainable by regrinding lines (and a few from dailies), with a high probaility to spent free xp? or to spent a lot of sigs and camos? or to wait 3 months for the next multilpier, so gotta wait like 9 months(lol!) to get a new shiny if one only wanna go with multipliers? no words about the tons of credits? ranked and cb seasons are kinda up permanently in comparison to first years, steel is allaround and not too lots to buy with.... rp's are the true mill they wanna see us in. everyone can participate, winning doesnt mean anything and stuborness wins.... sounds like the perfect concept for most of the playerbase lol... atm the rb, with ohio, colbert, siegfried and slava, holds 4 of the most potential ships on higher tiers. now if i look at the steel ships with stalingrad, shikishima, somers and bourgogne, (one more?)... and somehow one gotta make such a comparison, right?... i'm not in the impression steel is the "leading" currency here. the one that got announced as the "competetive currency".... it's rp's lol.... dont get me wrong! steel ships are very good ships, without a doubt! the rb ones are just more dedicated in their roles i'd say and overall make better material for competetive scene.... only exception being stalingrad (ofc lol), but that's mainly because out of the whole it's the 1st one. my bet: we'll see more and more rb ships, with a less addition of steel ones in the same time. i'm kinda sure the rb ones will be the "better" ones overall. up to even at some point steel getting removed fully, ships are split into coal and rb ships and steel simply converted into coal. just a mindplay, but one i gotta say on: me no gusto what u guys think?

afaik somers offers like 2 more fish in the water at the max, while need to turn if wanna have all of em, in comparison to gearing. onthe same reload, while gearing still offers to go with legendary mod or not, or am i wrong? to be fair one gotta add that in recent tourneys at least slava was not around, so we gotta see if and how it will get utilized? yet off from what i did see with div mates slava it's a longrange citadel machine, much more than legendary yammie. set a halland aside and let cv spot, cc's might have a hard time. but that's beyond guessing i guess lol ^^. on the other hand this is a distinct persepctive i totally can see. having smol myself and at least experience with colbert arcs by playing a bit marceau i think it's a matter of utilization and playstyle in doubt, aye. while both got points for them to pick over the other i guess, but smols for sure being more around in number. same goes for ohio? i do have ägir and played alongside siegfried. while both share the same hull afaik the guns on siegfried got bc dispersion. so, essentially, it's a bc with accurate bismarck guns. the guns on ägir are less accurate, which not makes it being played like a bc lol, it feels like a bb. and that is what the hull gives u as well, the feeling of a bb. a bit like ijn on like t7/8. higher speed, less armor (ägir not) good guns... at least several times i did take dangerous turns and got hits on broad, i came out with a few scratches rather than being blapped (what one would expect on such occasions on a cruiser?). as i said before, it's a perspective that somehow jumped me and made me think about it further. within this perspective it actually would make sense on their end to put the "a bit more" valuable additions into the rb mainly (since it's around in its curent form). and comparing the offers i simply came to a fitting perception. that ofc does not make it being true, on the other hand it not negates it totally. ... may i just over-interpret, on the other hand we gonna see...

it doesnt need the max ammount. one can stockpile good ammounts of steel, even when not goin for the top. indeed i barely did and hold ngh steel to get one of the 2 steel ships i do not have right away. ....u're talking 'bout a veteran like me? as such i can tell, at least fdor me that does not hold true at all by now..... if u played a lot before but got all the stuff, u not necessarily are over-gifted with ressources by now. even less with recent flood of additions. the ranks down to like 10 are really not too hard btw. not too many stars to gain per rank one can rack up always some steel. well, i think here we simply do disagree. ofc steel ships are very good ships, while at least stalin is outstanding. but in my percevement this goes for the whole of the rb ships, with steel only really for the stalin. somers ofc is a choice, question and reason to me simply is, if it's worth its ammount of steel in comparison to its distinctiveness from f.e. gearing, be it legendary or not? can't see that, thus didnt get it. now if we take the ohio or slava, they're are indeed up to very distinct from their silver counterparts. ohio is straight out better than monti, slava is a different ship than kremlin. somers to me more is like a sidegrade, ohio an upgrade. and bourgogne sure is something special, but as being said: that's been before the rb. and still it just is too soft.... may some (unicum?) teams did use and made it work (mostly as well b4 rb in cb's?), but by now there's way better choices i'd say. out of the whole, for the record, i do not hold colbert, slava, siegfried, somers nor shiki. yet played aside those ships in divs and against them in randoms/cb's. ....eeeermmmm...... yeah, sure ..... just like cv's?!.... c'mon, seriously..... i rather estimate they gonna flesh it out like woatnot! in general, as it narrows down choices, i disagree. as i come from a game in which such logic did drown pvp in an ocean of pve grinds, for me one currency for buys, one for research totally would cut it! or, as someone else already did state: kiss! ofc criticism always is a good thing, as long it's constructive. otherwise there barely could be progression, but i guess that's another discussion.... it doesn't matter here if they're for free or not, it's about the logic in distributing them over the different ways and what is offered there. it's about consistency in the end, only secondarily about the mechanics of obtaining them. in case of the rb btw i tried for a lot of constructive criticism...

nicely dragged down, thx . still, steel is what u get for playing the c-modes. hence the question about the rewards (see post above)

well, i do.... indeed, if there's been a bb, afaic recall it was rather a kremlin or ohio... and neither are that much widespread btw as f.e. say a stalingrad (yet). imo both are better in comparison to any possible peer on the steel side.... while colbert not having a real peer there yet lol, give u that... or would u pick a shikishima or bourgogne if u can go by slava or ohio?! as i said, this is my opinion. in which the ships in the rb actually do have more potential in comparison to the possible steel ships for competetive play. and yet i see myself not too isolated with that opinion, currency obtaining let aside... really, if u do not agree on that it's fine for me. but u can be sure i won't change my point if there comes no point to change it lol. and that is something i yet did not get on topic from u...

aha, now we're getting there, as i see obviously we not been there yet again *sigh*..... so why is it, that the best suitable rewards for these competetive modes for competetive players are not distributed by "the" competetive currency?! and that is what this thread is about.... btw, u simply could buy steel then indirectly on several occasions. just matter of input....
