I put Jack on KGV and Bert on Conq. Using several T2 skills. Working on KGV to increase the points as I like to play KGV more, currently only at 14 as other ships (lines) have been prio.

Yes the RN missions are running but not at T3-4, only T5-8

Decent KGV game, finished in style w ram kill, when down on 8000 hp vs 26000 Colorado could not help it

It is a little more difficult to perform in Bogatyr nowadays, with some battleships and cruisers having greater range but she still performs, new personal best damagewise in the 1009th game. I am well aware there are players with over 6000... but I am happy nonetheless

Many, as this is one of the warships that were built that stands out

Interesting thread, I have almost full options: Gremy 17 p - Yes, might try her but depends on meta I think, The turret traverse is really bad and not good in knifefights - will certainly try her, might be better for random meta - really interesting choice Kami R/Kami- Have both Shima captain 19 p - Sealclubber in random - but is the best counter to many Kamis another Kami , if that will be the meta? König-17p, my favourite BB at T5 - there are alternatives but I enjoy that ship. There might be ohers that you forumites have as the best ships or the ones to choose but I will probably go for these in a mixed way. I like cruisers in general but I have not really enjoyed the T5 ships so much, have no real favorite there that I play after grind. Early in my career I enjoyed the Murmansk a lot but my stats in that ship is obsolete, do not think I have barely touched the ship in 18-24 months. Now that thing is very important - use a ship that you like and perform well in, and also like my reasoning on the kami - yes it might be the ship that performs best but do you perform better in it then the others and like I wrote is it the best counter if its too many Kamis.

I agree with you completely, it is one thing if the value i the containers are good, the Santas boxes f.e. where the Premium ships are what you want there the boxes at least contain relatively more. At least you should know what the chances are, and i can accept lower chances for say a T8 mission. i have not really understand if they are also coming in Tier sequence or not For me both the French (where I did not buy any, but got more standard boxes by buying Aigle I got T5-7 in that sequence, now I got T5-8 in sequence (nothing in 22 standard) on 4x5 premium T5 and 6, and then T7-8 in 1x20 premiums. As it was the T7 or T8 that really was desirable it would be good. Now they starting with the hockey event with the same annoying Loot boxes, with some ships as prices, should be at least calculable. It would have been nice f.e. that if you buy the 40- box set that you are guaranteed all 4 RN missions, and 20 gives 2 and at least 1 on T7 and above. That would in my opinion be reasonable, it is silver ships nothing else, The US arcs was at least premiums to some extent, in those boxes. It seems that the drop rate have been far lower than the French at least if one is to believe the forum if I recall the French event correctly.

None of the suggestions will hinder one-sided battles - the snow ball effect when a few ship dies first and then the other sides collapses will happen regardless of how many ships that participates. However a greater number of players might be interesting out of variation purposes but that is not your problem in the post Lower points - well if it is a steam roll better start a new game faster , why endure longer Same for increase time and max points, btw if you are fewer ships your chance to win by capping early and defend a points advantage is far lower, why doing it easier for a team that is damagefarming instead of playing the objectives? Pull the stats? Where can I see the real figures of that, not your hunch? One sided battles is more a mathematical function, so where do you find the objective data? It may be that the greater disparity skillwise as the game progresses can make the games go slighly faster, but that is difficult to do something about. It is a game that takes a short time to learn but a long time to master. And grind full captains f,e..

Currently at 1,4 Million, have all the FreeXP ships, waiting for the new ones, let us see if they are for coal or FreeXP:

When I realised that I started to move my 2 10 p captains that I have put on Jervis and Lighting, moved back from reserve the 3 p that came with the ships and started playing coops for the missions (mission grind is rather rapid in shot coop games that you always win) and collecting elite Xp in random, now I have fixed my Lighting to 10 points, and started the XP grind in random to be ready for T9 when it hits the server. The T7 is in progress and will be ready in a week or so, depnding on mood and priority, play it more during next mission stage.

Both!!

Quite along time ago I finished the Yamamoto and placed him on Fuso and Halsey went to Montana.

I play my König a lot, she is the T5 BB for me. 17 p captain and counting.

True, I like that idea, there are some low tier maps that easily could be increased just in size. Ocean could be used also in mid tiers, very seldom naturally.

thx

give Flamu that task (emerald)

I am also curious, so your topic is great, one problem is however as you play along that the answer differs, maybe a poll now would be a stage poll Like 0 ships and intervals with containers and so forth, probably many no-answers have recieved one or more and on how many? The value somewhat decreases over time.

You have a low game number so I suggest you stop grinding to get further, but play the NO to get captain skills. The higher up you go the level 4 skill CE is necessary, before that it is difficult to judge a ship. US crusiers have good concealment with CE and it helps to know when to fire and when to stay/go silent. The higher up you go the Battleships are likely to punish you hard/ even one shot you so situational awarenesss is the key. Therefor other lines that are more suited to a kiting role like IJN or French f.e. are perhaps easier for a new player at tiers 7 and above. They have also torps as a last resort, US do not which makes it far less risky for several ships to rush you. I am not saying that you should play all lines but mix more T5-6 and build up captains and play different ships also to know your enemy.

No but in Swedish case there is no problem to do the DDs to T10.

Thanks for answering, my crashes comes anywhere, could be even in harbour or f.e. when watching campaign mission when there is no animation. BTW crashes for me is not system crash when you get that message (happens very rarely) , it is just that the game freezes graphicswise, the music continues if it happens in battle. If I am lucky I manage to return before I sink, but it is very frustrating as it cost damage both taken and not be able to give and certainly ruins my stats , I guess that at least 1-2 games/100 might go as f.e. your loss as a DD for no return might be a tipping point or that you fail to damage/sink a cruiser when you play a BB in the minute it takes or so. Very irritating.

All post (nearly) in this manner forgets the progress bias, i.e. if the play more and get better they see things that other newer/worse players misses, they are noticing mistakes that they missed earlier in the career so they are finding more and more mistakes by default. I do that too, if level of play are worse in reality - maybe but the snowball effect will be there regardless of player standard as it is the same average standard on both tems. Also in the early days you were really taught the difference between AP/HE, before IFHE, before RN BBs, before the shotgun French BBs in some tiers, with citadels on the BB lines etc, now many new players are not required to learn that in same manner so that might be a natural cause. It is even so that we experienced players have to unlearn to get better effiency, I play Conq the hateful way as this shows good effectiveness not my trusty Warspite however. Play Kutuzov with IFHE only until I really have broadside cruiser close as it works

Hmm I have had this tendency the last half year or so, and after latest release I have had games when I have to go out 4 times in same game, then a few hours without interruption. But for me as a IT-zero if that is culprit should it not affect when you doing other stuff, stream Tv-series, sports etc why just in the game? I have lowered almost all settings, other system req should be no problem., PC is 4 years, RAM, Graphic card etc is well above req.

Yes the game is addictive but I reason as many other posts, I play until I hit the skillwall as i want to have an enjoyable experience. I played a lot early as I was unemployed a lot in the early WOWs history now I play a few hours in the evenings after work + weekends , and I play ranked for the rewards. But I play not to reach 1, I do not have the stomach to reach R10 in randoms I am around 50% at T10 (varies a lot) therefor I expect it to take too much time to reach R1. If I find a ship that I perform decently in and can carry better than others it might go some day but not now. The ship I am most comfortable in and most consistent in performance is Zao but she is not a carrying ship, rather a support ship. That brings me most likely in the middle of the pack on average regardless if we win or lose so I have found that I seldom saves star, and finds it difficult to play for that position which is easier in a BB maybe. At least I have found it so on lower tiers in ranked where I played the Alabama/Arizona in T8/6 where I in far greater numbers were on P1 when lost. You are simply more likely to survive even if you are not sniping. I will not go in a stat debate but in the long run your performance in the ship and how you use it in the mEta is the deciding factor , other stuff is just nonsense, other than it may help your ego and self confidence. Never play on tilt, I quit ranked always with two losses in a row, play on winning streaks on the other hand. I who have the goal on R8-12 bracket, depending on time etc play for the rewards , but also spread out the play during the season. The overall standard is proably lower near the end and then I have find it easier to progress if you just want to advance a few levels the bottom ranks are filled with on average worse players. I had a bad start in the season when I tried to reach R15 in my Alabama which I played good the previous season but not now stat wise without really understanding why. So now I am only on R15 played a few games without leaving the R15, will play a few more but not more. Ranked I mostly play on weekends as I want my evening short sessions to be more entertaining. As of not be able to reach 1 if you are not unemployed, well it should not be an easy thing. 300 games takes say 80 hours , if that is too much or not is up to anybody. I do not think of it as too much per se, but it is not interesting enough to me as the gameplay/meta is stale and I am a collector player who likes variation.

You are so correct but as in previous post I am too weak.......

12? stage 1 containers, No missions, Yesterday 1x5 premium = Acasta, bought 5 further in the Arsenal "normal" containers = nothing, today 3x5 premium, Icarus Bought Warspite so I got doubloons , + 5 further from Arsenal = Nothing, Gave in and bought 20 more recieved the T7 and T8 mission then, will buy the Gallant for doubloons. I am hopeless case - but if they would not have offered the Warspite and Gallant as Doubloon return I would hardly bought any premiums. But the camo and premium flags are useful, I have not the same time as before so the P2G/C (grind/convenience) is important to me. I set a prize on my time, to get maximum out of it, and have a good stack now of economical flags both the normal ZH and ESCL and various premium flags. The doubloons will be used for T10 Camos. What I do not like is the vague description of chance for the DDs. They also came in order just like my French earlier this year (then I bought no premium but Aigle for more "free" containers). T5 then 6 ,7 , 8. It would have been better to state it is RNG but the chance is roughly 2 % on T8 and 4 % on T5 on premium and 1 /2 % on normal so you at least could make some calculation. The value of flags and camos is in the eye of the beholder but it is acceptable in boxes like this compared to other offers. I look at the missions overall, the alternative cost of time, but also some more premium containers , not wasting any FreeXP on modules (B-hull etc) on T5-8. I fully understand poor players, f.e. students and unemployed that they find the containers expensive, but I guess that is the business model . those who have time and no money pays with time rest pays with money to speed up grind. Nevertheless , considering I have wasted 22 Normal containers and 40 Premiums to get the missions I would say that the chances does not seem that high - gamble carefully if you are not attracted to the flags and camos - but as often if you pays for camos and flags otherwise and want Warspite and Gallant (or the doubloons) then maybe buy 40 directly for lowest price. My step by step buy with 5 at a time was no success - but I would have stopped if I got the T7 on these so I could do those missions. If I would have not recieved the T8 I would be happy anyway. Do not know if some missions are T8 only later.
