I might sound rude, or like an elitist or whatever (not my intention), but if you are averaging 700 xp on tier 6+ (moreso on t8+ which would be a pretty reasonable tier for this mission), you are quite bad and might want to review your gameplay style. (not YOU, but you know, random player).

25k base xp translates into 25 battles or 3-4 games per day for the regular Joe. In a Tier6-Tier10 ship of his liking, not the 1-2 ships he might or might not have. So, if you don't have time to play 3-4 games per day (not doing anything else then regulary, just playing the game and be as good as you can so you get higher base xp), well, tough luck. But I imagine its doable to spend an hour per day for something you really like / want.So I still don't understand people claiming NA mission is hard.

Point is, if you took no (or low) damage in a game, your service cost were quite low. So you could've run rampart, killing 5 people in a game while taking minimal damage and earn a nice chunk of creds even if it was a loss. Now, even if you don't take any damage, you pay the full price (lower then before, but full price none the less). So, getting creds with t10 BB before was a hard task, thus a lot of people just camped behind. Getting creds with something like Des Moines, with low concealment, good positioning etc, was challenging but in a no way impossible. I'd dare to say that my overall cred income while playing Des Moines is lower now then before. I'm not loosing creds, but even without of premium acc, getting a nice sum of creds from Des Moines game was nothing strange. Just do your job, use terrain / concealment not to get wrecked, radar and shoot down DDs, suprise enemy CAs with nice salvo of AP freedom shells into their broadside from 10km away etc. edit: have more examples, but 1 will be enough simply to prove you it was not impossible.

Tnx for the advice mate, much appreciated

Not true.

Don't worry, I wasn't flaming / blaming you, it was only a sarcastic post to Mr.Conways response ;) And considering the NA mission. People are crying about 100k xp being too much? Well yea, its quite a lot, but compared to EU, where you need 50 wins, its probably the same amount of time. Lets say you need 100 battles for 100k xp (its not that hard to have 1k xp on average), while you will need 100 games to finish EU mission with your average 50% win rate. But, NA can use t6 ships, and they get some minor creds / flags, while EU can use only t9+... Makes a lot of sense.

then just buy Atago, and get instant boost to your skill (we don't want you to be unskilled and get t8 ship anyway)

ahahahahaha, I've allready forgot about top secret reward. Good times

Sorry if I sound rude, but your personal take is "a bit" off. You sell t8 premiums to players with 2 games played. You give the rest of regions possibility to earn t8 ship while playing t6 ships. You force EU not to play t8 ship (you know, we got to t8 allready, so I guess we know a thing or 2 about the game), but t9 to get t8 ship. And all of that is of course because you are concerned about the quality of the gameplay, and you don't want to ruin our experience by having a bad players playing at t8. Thank you for caring about EU that much, but please don't do it anymore. I think EU would do much better without of so much of WGs love.

nono, don't get me wrong, I was waiting for that ship for a long time. But playing only t10 ships to get her, and winning 50 games in them will be a bit of a drag... (considering its still a t8 ship).Although, the inability to put detectability camo on her could hurt a bit tbh (good concealment is one of Atagos strengths)

Well, Takao mission is a bit dissapointing to be honest. I currently have 5 t8 ships and 2 t10 ships. That means I have grand total of 2 ships that I can use to do the mission. And winning 50 games isn't all that thrilling either. OTOH I don't know whats all the fuss about other servers having t6+ while EU gets t9+. Its only some 300k xp/ 15 million creds difference, you can easily grind that in 2-3 days to get ready for missions

500 secondary battery hits? Oh god, the brawling is real xD

Is there any way NOT to participate in this event?

So, is there any reason for Murmansk to have different / better torps then Omaha, except for being premium ship? From all sources I've found, not 1 mentions that in any time she got better / different torps then originally placed on Omaha class. So, whats the reasoning behind it? (And yes, I've just ate 2 torps because I've forgot its 8k range )

OK, I've managed to dig out that there were 8km lower speed and 4km higher speed 53-39 torps that RU navy used at that time, so sadly we are stuck with 4km ones on regular cruisers, and Murmansk magicly got 8km ones

sure, that makes sense, but all the Russian cruisers are equipped by Russian 4km (5km) torpedoes, but Murmansk is equipped by 8km ones. So, thats a bit buggin as well. Even the Budyony uses simmilar 53-39 Mod1 torpedoes with 4km, while Murmansk uses 53-39 torpedoes with 8km...

My karma points approves

its 100% buff to their survivability. Aka 100% buff to their hp (as all modules have HP), so it doubles their HP

Actually, if you know what you are doing, you have same, if not higher chance of surviving, or to put it differently, to last longer when getting focused by 3 bbs in a bb (angling ftw) then by 3 cruisers that will deal 3k damage every 10 sec and keep 3 fires burning you down constantly. But once again, I think we are discussing about cruisers and how they fare against other things, not about BB v BB or DD v DD situations...

how about watching movies while eating chips?oh sorry, that doesn't have anything to do with our discussion, pretty much like your post.

you do understand that 3 cruisers focusing down 1 BB is a bit different then 3 BBs focusing 1 cruiser?

Was midway a bot?
