Yes, and the Sub hindered me so much that battle - I couldn't do anything ! :edit: I even forgot there was a CV in that game too

I'm not sure about the effect of having more high-tier Premium ships, as I think players are automatically driven to high tiers, be it tech tree / Premium / Special ships. The only "advantage" a Premium ship offers, is that it requires no time to get it, just money.

You are mixing things up : "Superships" are the T11 ships (Patrie, Annapolis, Condé ...). "Special ships" are usually non-tech tree TX ships and time-limited ships : - early access ships: U-69, Salmon ... - event-based ships: Blade, Igor, Jackal ... (the Halloween event) - ships that were in the tech tree but not anymore: Khaba, GK, Moskva - ships that can be bought in the Armoury with Steel, Coal, RB points : Salem, Marceau, Bourgogne, Gibraltar, Incomparable, FDR ... There is an option in your Port filter to filter on "Special ships", they even have a different icon from Premium ships and Superships. :edit: See this screenshot : https://i.imgur.com/Io1HnNf.png (It's a link because uploading the image to this forum failed for some reason.)

Go try to get 2.5k base in Op Wolfpack then.

Atm I think that using guided torpedoes takes too little risk for the (potential) reward it can give. Either increase the risk by shortening the ping distance and torpedoes' range, or decrease the reward by lowering the torpedoes' alpha damage. With a shorter ping distance and guided torpedoes' range, the Sub has to be closer to its target - this can make spotting the Sub easier and it can provide a higher chance of the Sub actually being inside the range of a ship with air-dropped depth charges I'm not too sure what to think of the unguided torpedoes at the moment, they seem more okay to me as they seem to require more risk / skill / luck / ...

low-tier YT vid imo HE (and fires) takes time to deal damage ... I'm curious how a Friesland can "melt" a (competent) JB

You asked what a "Special ship" is and as ColonelCat pointed out, those TX are (technically) Special ships, not Premium ships.

I've played it quite often now, since it's the only Operation available to play solo, and I like it as far as Operations go - some things need tweaking but for Submarines this is in the right direction imo. Also, if the XP stays on the ships when they get released, I don't have to infest Coop or Randoms to get the next one in the line; I actually hope this Operation stays or more get added.

Yes, with Premium account and the green XP boosters (+200% iirc).

I used Free XP to get the upgraded modules; the rest i grinded with green ship XP boosters, that took me 92 battles. It also helped to grind through some of the PR missions, as most couldn't be done in Operations.

Brest would be less enjoyable in Coop, i agree. I grinded through the Duncan in Coop, her torp angles almost seemed made for it

I don't think higher avg per se, but i do recall multiple coop games where i got over 1k bxp - and in a larger set the chance of such a battle to occur is higher, so i think the max bxp could be higher in the list you posted :)

Drama sells I also love the logic that some players display : - WG puts out an incoherent reply too soon : " FU WG take more time !! think !! " - WG needs / takes time to respond : " FU WG reply sooner !! "

The max bxp is a bit low, even for Coop, no ?

for me, playing T9 alone ? yes I'm aware enough to realise i don't have the patience atm to deal with random crap :edit: I tried it some weeks ago with the Brest ... it was "special" and i hadn't much fun

drama sells :)

Amen to that ! - and even then it's not guaranteed

^ this. Actively blocking another ship's torpedoes by matching your speed to sail next to it is way too much effort for the "reward"; you can just yolo and ram and get more XP.

You can blame Subs or CVs or long-range HE spammers ... but even in the 12v12 BB brawls players camped in the back. WG can try all they want, they can't make a potato care about improving or winning.

Why ... because Random Battles suck ? e.g. the latest UK BB line; I grinded through the T6 - T8 in Ops, and the T9 in Coop (took me 92 games). I see no reason why to play Random Battles if I know I won't have fun.

did the CV already have the ASW on PTS ? we tried this Ops with 5 players, some days ago, and the CV killed nearly all of us

No CVs - check No Subs - check No Supershits - check No boring af TX snorefest - check What's not to like about T5 Ranked ... actually made me leave Coop for a handful of games.

Mostly, yes; i'm sort of burned out of the game but still want to complete the PR missions. With some luck I can find a div with enough people to play the normal Operations.

@Captain_82 in Ranked Battles last evening; seemed like he had a rough run
