I guess we should be "happy" that the new Freexp ship has not spiralled upwards. personally I have both the Ohio and Colbert so I will probably get bot the FreeXp and RB ship. I M Free XP is doable. I have now just crossed the 2 M line and maybe I pick Hayate as she is older and the number of IJN High tier ships are so limited. Odin and these 2 are sort of in the same category - fantasy ships like Hayate but I do not need all 3 Germans at roughly the same time. RB points I will each in mid/late July.

Apart from buying so much doubloons that you can buy both premium time in game and the T7 /8 premium w discount as above, the premium time are often heavily discounted around christmas 50% or so for 1 year historically so that is perhaps the best value for money. Well the benefits (XP/credits hour) scales with tier so you have more "value" from the high tier that you perform good in. Try to pick up the various Free Premiums for coal which exists in armory. Some of the m are cheap the best are the expensive ones. My take on premium permacamos - seldom on sale has happened a few times during all years. But try to pick up those that you can get in various events. The most expensive but arguably the best are the T10 for 5000 doubloons but you should want to play that ship a lot. Key factor here is the combination of 20% + in credits and 50 % reduction in servicecosts + 100 % XP, if you compare that with thae T8 for 3000 doubloons you have a small reduction in service + 50 % in XP. So you get far mor IMO than the difference in prize. I have several T8 anyway like Bismarck becuse i like it visually but in economy benefits the T10 is the best but as said you must like the ship.

I would say the Swedish DDs, not only because I am from Sweden but they are so different. Besides after you have played the EU DDs without smoke you will feel that the French Dds faster w worse concealment are easier to contend with. The lack of smoke but decent AA makes the EÚ DDs good cap denial ships but not necessary the ships you use to cap at allcosts with in the beginning. I am pretty sure now that I will play the Swedish DDs far more than the French. Full speed dakka dakka is not my style. French DDs are too big and not stealthy enough, but they look great that is for sure.

You basically trade the 3 containers for one but have double rolls for a Supercontainer. I always use the More resources, but in the beginning there were som eprizes in the TYL that were slioghtly higher than in the normal ones, i.e. you could get doubloons, and 2 prem camos of various sorts. If it is still so i am not sure. But in the beginning these supercontainers with flags were a higher number so that in itself was motivation. As of now I prefer the more resources for the coal and FreeXP thus giving more choice.

Of the silver ships: König have 800+ games in that ship, adaptable to T7 battles strong allrounder to perform, just aim higher than normal on BBs especially high tier than you. Good vs cruisers. Izmail..Yes the ultimate BB fast for its tier very strong but slowturning guns, if you manage to play her well it is a very good BB trainer, you get punished if you show broadside and you punish the opposition. Kuznetzov I have placed on my Izmail makes it even stronger, have Yamamoto on my Fuso btw so I enjoy the T6 BBs. If we go into the realms of hard to get ship, Nikolai RU Premium BB (yes w the 19 p Kuznetzov), Gremy RU DD w 8 m torps at T5 and the Kami trio is wonderful, have them all but they are as said only available in crates and for a new player not realistic, but should you by enormous luck get one they are fun and overpowered. Nikolai have been powercrept a lot given todays meta, and also that some of the silver ships like Orion f.e. are also good. She has not that long reach but very durable armour layout and 3 turrets pointing forward which means short time from right to left (but if you do need shift the other way catastrophic slow) and practically no AA which in todays CV environment is bad. Her guns have excellent accuracy (sigma) and hits hard. Played her a lot when I recieved her in the times of good christmas crates but seldom today.

Well those two games I enjoyed most, not only because I was top of the table but how close the game were: Izmail game: Sunk the enemy König roughly 10 secs from end, behind on points. Conqueror, a very close game but we were lagging far behind on caps 1 vs 3 far into the game and therefor points but managed to take out Halland w a devstrike w Conq HE shells then managed to lead assault on enemy Biz, Bagration and Yamato capping the 2nd and then our T8 remaining ships could take c cap so we were 4 vs 1 but Biz were very low on hp , Shokaku enemy Cv got a last strike on him in the last seconds but manage to take down 8K or so of the remaining 11 K hp on Biz but he stayed afloat and we won. Considering many games ends with snowball effect these two were among the most fun games for long (I had one close game thrown away in the last seconds by another player but I forget that now). Even games that yourself ends top , one that you put on the final salvo and one where you pray that the enemys final torp strike should not end our Biz. Great stuff well worth an extra Scotch NOW That our Kaga stayed a few point behind me (played very good, as well did the Shima and Biz, all these 3 were complimented by me after match) so I could grab the two missions makes it a 11/10 game

Great , I have 3 in 22902 randoms........so enjoy the moment

To be serious I think the EU DDs are better on CAP denial and harassing rather than capping itself at least that is my experience with the EU DDs. You are very dependent on team when you should cap, as your CE is OK but not stellar. It is quite frustrating to meet your own ship (with same Concealment) when your pown team fires at he ship in the back. However my DD expertise is not stellar rather mediocre but I do feel that they are quite different and therefor IMO a succesful branch. But as a Swede I am heavily biased. But as of now I only play T9 and 10 in randoms. Strangely enoug I found the T6 better than Skåne with the 2 twin back turrets. as the kiting role suits them if you manage to get a flood or so.

Like this you should enjoy Skåne.

The EU lootboxes were more evenly distributed. I can not even understand how they thought that paying 500 doubloons fr a 1/100 chance of the top draw. In the EU draw I got 1220 tokens of 21 bought crates , and the alternatives then were 20,40,60 and 250 but the numbers of 250 were 1 in 10 or so. You felt that you going forward , here 50 out of 100 were 5 which barely moves your number. It was also special signals then in the boxes which at least are useful. It is one thing to pay a few quid in a Eurolottery where you know it money gone but it is a thrilling chance to be independent ( No I do not believe in it), where you attracts players becouse of the spread in rewards. In pixelboats I personally would be far more interesting with a spread of say max 1 in 10 and decent chance for rewards that move you forward. Personally I bought the Bagration to get the 4 weeks of mission tokens (with Mikoyan) that more or less ensured that I would get the Riga permacamo. Now I am at around 100 tokens , not a chance that I would pay anything. I know that my first box is a 5 token. If i were maybe 30 from Riga I might have done it but now the median yield is more or less 5 or to be exact 7,5. With so large spread median is far more relevant than mean.

some of the tasks are easy in the background but takes time f.e. shot down 300 aircraft in EU ships T8+ so play smart and as soon as possible.. Edit: Easy means they will get fulfilled automatically given enough games if you have the EU DDs. But as I said those games takes maybe some time as all games do not have CV or they avoid you. I have now Swirzki on Halland and have around 10 tasks left, and these are all one game tasks. It would be fun if I can make all but I guess given the no1 spot demand in many of these that it will be some left when the 6 month period are over.

A few points, Be really sure why you want to have a clan, instead of joining a more suitable clan than your old. Simply because most players are already in a clan. Personally I have a economic clan so I pay less/no attention to CB, not that I am unintested but we are too few in our clan that seem to want to engage in that and it is not something that I must do. You do need numbers of active players to get up a decent clan base , the steel and coal bonuses are hard to get for smaller clans. So you need apart from CB actives if you are aiming for that also players that gather oil by just playing. I have one vice leader, we were part of a this clan when the founder and some others disappeared so we decided after communicating with him to send a ticket and take over the clan. I got the leadership simply because I wrote to the support but I always confer with him and a few others if they have ideas for the next facilitiy to aim for. We want the expensive top steel and coal but we do not forget the cheap ones for service costs etc. as they are interesting for newer players I guess a broad approach so that the cheapest 3-4 facilities in each category are bought.

Agree fully, one of the worst ships in game T5 and up, maybe the worst, only for the tokens and later only for events, as per your view.

I have played since a few weeks after release and then you have two lines, now you have a huge variety. If the grind is too heavy players feel that they can not get the ships they want - many are naval enthusiasts like myself and while i have been able to progress alongside new releases I play far more than most 15-25 hours weekly since start. Remeber that the grind must me acceptable to those who may play a few games daily, we need players it is not serious to count games for players like myself and say that they are easy. To grind F2P to a say T10 with a decent selection of lines takes maybe one year or more. I have a friend that I have tried to persuade also interseted in Warships but he hesitates while it is fun the time that he can put in are not very high so even if he is guided my me it will take a long effort before he reaches anywhere near the famous WW2 ships. After all do not forget that is what attracts many of the players. And even if you are given the superflags in some quantities they do not reach that far if you are not willing to pay a lot. People that earns money and can spend huge amounts on progressing captains are not the standard that we should judge after, it must suit casual but serious players to.

Always check on the results after battle the second screen if you have enough XP not the forth

Well if you look at history the chances are close to zero - I can not recall when the directives and same tokens have been used for 2 updates - the dockyard have been announced to do that I think, otherwise not, just buy extra if you need that is WGs thing and desire

From the free token containers majority 5, a few 10s, some have been open en masse f.e. stage 2 + the daily then 13 = 100 so some over 5. bought Bgartion as the boost seems endless and with that fixing Mikoyan for 1 st week. Meaning (105+210)= 315 tokens weekly. As usual you must more or less decide first week if you want to spend or not and as usual the RNG free way of obtaining tokens is by a ship. Quite a lot of these events have been biased in the way that if you are prepared to spend on something there usually pays to spend on ships early on often with doubloon compensations or more tokens thinking of Hill in the Benham campaign f.e. which helped to get Benham a lot. As I have a 5 token bundle as first 500 doubloon its out of the question. With these 1260 tokens I will reach T8 Tallinn maybe the permacamo for T9 if I get lucky but probably not.

You forgot to add that she is a movie star. Acting as Graf Spee, Yes fighting with RN Cruisers in the Battle of the River Plate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_the_River_Plate_(film)

No, 5s in all 4 I have opened induvidual + 60 on 7 that i opened same time.

I am sure that WG happily takes your money for the Digital Spring Party in the normal Premium shop and gives you some doubloons for compensation

Yes IJN have been given many fantasy ships that never did perform anything, or even existed. Take for example the pure napkin design Mikasa.

i too admit that this is a factor to weigh in when you purchase a premium, compare with f.e. buy it in the armory later or by christmas crate. I have so many premiums however so I am pretty close to know that I do not have any low tier premiums to get before the T7-8 appears so for me waiting for christmas is viable. But these fantasy ships are not that necessary for me as I have all old Soviet cruiser premiums incl. Kutuzov, Kronstadt and Smolensk. If I recieve them later fine. but I grind the new Soviets as usual, burned plenty on EU DDs as I am from Sweden so this time I abstain. It is many real ships that we are missing that I might be more interesting in as premiums - some battlecruisers f.e. or a Dutch ship for building up more EU captains, also some real RN ships.

Around 11,5 M

sure but 25 is the norm, it is the same when it is 200 % wins that is the time when i try to max out

25 games it is. Not more- But you do not waste 3x XP on botting , you play these games to the maximum with or without flags. So you can not say that is infite play and it is smart to save special flags for such occasions at least you should have papa papa and such in stock.
