It seems that the level of directives are geared so that a mix of these qualities are the average target for WG, lots of work but doable if you could play the most/whole period. that meant that Gorizia was to be reached by a decent number of players, but no more for free.

I have answered 6 as I am currently on stage 6 now, stage 7 I will not bother with no chance I can manage those huge XP numbers without spending huge numbers of special flags for a token number of steel. I will finish stage 6 if I want, but I am not sure yet that I will do it or prioritaze playing more varied ships that these directives includes. 4/5 I wil get it is the citadels on IJN/RU BBs that is the short stick. It is a question if how many more coop games I want to spam. Sure the tokens will bring some credits that I do not need. It depends on how many I need on late sunday.

Also that if you wanted the PR despite the event the only realistic way to get PR was to buy probably 2 boosters but then you would not need more than say 4-5 directives. I did that calculation as the rewards (2000 steel) was important but that you got without the directives, the rewards in the PR build itself was therefor quite OK for the various stages but not in the directives itself. Look now at stage 7 , those amounts of SXP/freeXP are insane for a token number of steel. Realistiaccly they could only be met by buying and wasting tons of premium signals so it is buy worth of 20 camos for 300 Special signals with greater value per signal. Especially if you are veteran you probably have a lot of premium signals in stock if you like me have accumulated lots of permacamos. So the prize for steel the small steel items let us say 1/100 of a Stalingrad is way too high. If there were say 1000 steel per directive it would mean something at least. Some sort of expensive conversion from high yielding flags to a measurable amount of steel. In terms of fixing the directives at stage 7 just for the sake of getting PR they are superfluos and for steel to expensive in effort /flags.

Prinz Eugen today is pretty OK after it recieved the heal, which is a major buff. Hipper got reload instead. My take also is money spent and utility. I always if I have time recommend players to look for LWMs reviews, they are deep and some of them include how well they perform both in coop random and competetive or collector value. For me as a collector a ship like VU is obviusly very interesting as she looks great. overtiered Yes but she is a 4-4,5. Let us say that they had the old type of preferred MM that some ships had , that VU could not Face T7 f.e. would make a large difference. I endured the 25 Bonus Xp missions, problem is lack of AA , low speed and HP its simply too much. But if in those games where you have less DDs or no/max 1 CV or they do not know about your weaknesses. You can perform quite alright. But so it is for many ships. I have nearly all premiums, some I have recieved through missions, won in crates or santas etc. I think some bad or more likely mediocre ships for a veteran player have to their advantage that you often have a 19 p captain so that elevates the ship to at least tolerable to the team. But many ships are portqueens no more no less. Even ships like Krazny Krym can start to be useful with the right (19) captain. I think that buyers shoul look on forums , new reviews as to know what to expect. Opinions do differ. Especially Coop players should watch the reviews with some care as most ships are effective in coop.

It is difficult times indeed, I will get the PR (also bougth 2 boosters) I know that but I have played much too much and I am hardcore, but it is different to play a huge amount of hours because I still like most of the game and playing which ships of my 300+ that I want to play and grinding Frieslands to get 7000 hits and spamming Bismarck and Hindenburg to get the 7200 sec hits and a massive amount of torps/cit in game after game in coop. When you have to just grind instead of playing what you want it is even closer to breakdown even for me. Fortunately I have come to my senses and are more or less ignoring directive 6 as I will get PR anyway. Therefor I feel happier already. And I also look forward to RN heavies after two lines that I do not like and naturally as I am a Swede European DDs, these two lines for me makes it impossible to stop spending atm. After that I am more sceptical but there are ships esp. Battlecruisers and other real lines that still is left. I would not rule out alternate BBs at least from RN and US either. Rest of European DDs and cruisers also. My largest problem is that I am a naval buff so I really want the game to prosper, many others speak of other games but for me the alternative is not other games it is no games.

Even if we may think it is so, I refrain from doing this to employees at that level , it should never be announced for us to see. Any serious company that does otherwise have my contempt.

As usual the Grand Old Lady delivers. You know it is your game when you one-shot a full health Petry Veliky (yes broadside ofc) from 14 km ...............

Can you watch the build replay (icon in shipyard) after the ship is completed or does the yard disappear?

Well I can accept premium while not free, this is probably something you have. There are compared with other events not that beneficial to have premium or flags as many events are Base XP, in fact several higher uo on stage 4 -5 etc are so scewed on this or a number of hits potential dmg etc so flags or premium does not matter.

ATM: König, Izmail, Zao I think

Well have to bump the thread, losses over 200K at least you feel you have done your part - I know its Conqueror but I played her as effective as could be wished

For a Tier X ship ( I do not own her yet) like PR is 6000 doubloons if that is what ensures the success for you probably worth it. It will be far cheaper than it will cost in the future if we set estimations of steel/Research points/Coal or FreexP to a level that we can expect after this mad grind. The prize must be set high in order to maintain some sense to those paying mad doubloon values for her now. I mean not even 24000 doubloons was enough. So in that sense it is worth it. You will probably get better value for 6000 doubloons in PR than another ship. It depends naturally also if you can perform. But Premium T10s are profitable thanks to lower service costs, but if we talking about the ship as a creditmaker the shift for you to premium is better when you have the time to play many hours on limited occasions. If you provide more details of your playing havbits and the usage of ship like PR it is easier. For me Premium time is no 1 especially when there is one year offers that is so low per/day. But if you want to spend 6000 on a ship and it is enough go for it.

Happy New Year May your guns be precise when you are in green team may they be useless in red!

Well I have a lot of both coop and random battles. First one needs a ship with reliable Alpha Strike i.e. torps. That includes Yoloing. Both Dds and Cruisers are good. Best DDs are those with smoke. You can also cap with them but as the Bots rush you the trick is smoking up position yourself so you can let the other allied ships spot for you while you in smoke preferably kill the enmey DD that is coming to you , the you if you are lucky can rush the enemy BB and torp him to death to the other players disgust! In domination if you have the time you often get the cap as well. The BBs can sometimes get good results but if they are good DDs in your team they might on some maps leave you without targetys for long and the game ends without doing much damage. Cruisers are weaker as the enemy Bots tends to focus them and while the bots are stupid sometimes they have a nasty habit of deleting cruisers first ven from faraway so cruisers are often a bad choice especially higher up if you do not play f.e. Minotaur or Smolensk. Best coop DDs - I like the German Dds fast reloading torps and smoke hydro is a very good combo in coop (Z46 and Z52 in particular). Spamming DDs like Akizuki etc often works fine also. BTW when using the torps we are talking close range the bots seems sometimes to dodge the torps too well , it is suicide rush thats the best against bots to ensure the kill, ofc sometimes you get shot first but overall the best average tactic, you want to hit with everyone.

Gorizias large package w 40 Mega, 3 Premiums Yudachi , Yahagi Bayard. Ark royal from free crates and Fuijin the last possible ships from PR crates.

will probably be ready w stage 4 late Sunday/Early Monday

thx for deciding if I should play or not as a non-CV player , wonder how long time it talkes for the CV - unicums to rank out. But I rather grind PR directives.......than being on the recieving end for this

Gremy is possible to get from crates but only if you miss a few ships

The value of f.e. RB points Steel Coal would increase if there was some sort of exchange rates but I doubt it will come. Different currencies for different player groups or grind gates are the norm today.

Well I personally may not like many of the steps are good but the basic game I still like and therefor buying premium for doubloons that you already have in port is regardless on how you feel a sensible move.I still play the directives with normal play (for me) stupid levels or not and grab what I can. But is of no use to just keep the doubloons at your account. And premium prize is very good. You can have two thoughts in your mind at same time. But of course there is a level of play that does not warrant it, but as I say if you already got them..... Personally I am already at 500 days or so so I will not buy it. It also tends to be a day here or there during the year so during these days there will certainly be a lot more.

Yes I am there too (bought Gorizia though) finished stage 3 14.12- not enough 35/36 as you.

You know if a T10 comes with FreeXP its probably in the region of 1200000 at least. Compare that with FreeXP a whole line to T10. So I say that even if token number will do it that thing is of no concern from pure maths alone.

Well to offer fantasy ships for all and real ships behind steel walls is a brilliant idea worrthy of WG.
