Sure it is, that grind missions takes a while is alright but they should be designed. As for the last two it is nevertheless not always so easy to do the that quickly , at least for an average DD player. You can perform but you need to win also. Or you sink 1 ship and the other teammates do the final kill.

I vote No but I would like more achievements f.e. capping several zones and defending flags but high numbers.

Well I am well above the 1000 EUR Mark but this is the game for me as a naval enthusiast/Nerd. I am lunatic as you desribe in this matter.

In contrast with the sealclubbing exercise in the morning w Bogatyr I managed to get a fine game in the Gearing which also included the 100000 dmg to Battleships mission. For me and my DD play this is a result I am very happy in. And 183K is my best so far in the Gearing, Over 40000 in flooding damage helps a lot in the PanAsian mission also.

I think some of you may think of the older days when a mounted camo only could be destroyed if you wanted to change, but it was changed sometime ago. I was quite irritating as you wanted sometime to use f.e. the 100% prem camos just until a ship was grinded but not more, especially since back in the days the special camos was more rare to get for free, and more difficult events. I remebered how much I played in Halloween mission last year to get the free camos. Now I suddenly have plenty.

I think you have a point here, it is a players responsibilty to play to win to the bitter end or at least beyond any resonable hope. I had a Zuiho in my team suiciding by moving fwd right in front of the enemy team after we had lost a DD and a cruiser at the start. I summoned him in chat stop suiciding Zuiho! and after he was sunk I wrote Why did you play like that? Game was lost was the answer. I reported him after the game, as I really tried to play. we lost but it was with a margin that if that Zuiho player had been decent and chosen the right targets it might well have been enough as it was that close in the end. A CV is really infuential, Especially at low/mid tiers where two early losses could be useless players. You never know if there are several players on your team capable of really carrying the game, especially if the losses are very early. If your team have not make any progress in the next 5-6 minutes the crisis is at the doorstep but to judge a game lost directly more or less, that is for me unsporting to the rest of the team.

If it is a reward ship for ranked, I must say I would have expected a little more fantasy than just bring out US ships. 7-8 no 1 , I have not the mental thing to grind that much in ranked. Considering 43 % players have reached R1, I would imagine to be able to reach R1 in time but it is too boring. I have DM so this ship hardly brings in the must do it syndrome. Well sometime I may do an effort to do it once but 7-8 never. It was barely tolerable to play for R8, but at least Arizona gave me EliteXP, probably need such a ship as then you feel it is some purpose to play Ranked.

Well I have reached a miniscule amount of flooding so far but to be fair I have not had time to play more than perhaps 10 games or so. The 5 vs 5 DDs is something familiar. Shima, Kami, Gallant and Fubuki. Well I know it is about catching a BB after DCP has been used. I would have prefer 350000 Torp Dmg , this is a sort of grind and skill in hitting. Problem is that even if you hit a BB and cause flood this ship must be left alone to get any decent number of flooding, but most of the times the rest of the team concentrates. Best so far 4700 , other ships have been sunk to soon incl by myself. Do not want to play ridiculous, well hit w 1 torp of your salvo not two and sink him from 7 km or so. But the weekend brings me hope.

Had time for one game in the morning before work, my fav clubber Bogatyr does not let me down

Considering I have bought most premiums I would say maybe, it may be the chance to get Albany, I doubt she will be on direct sale, but you never know.

She is a slower Chester but as her profile is smaller she in the small maps with close fighting dont seem to attract fire and hits so much. Beutiful yes, chose her in the GN

I would say Arizona is a pretty OK ship if you like the US BBs. Very comfy to play w userfriendly 4x3 set up. Slow and slow reload, need skill in map awareness and think ahead as you can not reposition..

Ishizuchi and KA is fine ships to buy

Seems like an excellent tip, I will try that and ship and Kami, high tier have too long reload and will use DCP more skilful.

Personally I like the Gallant when it is on offer, Anshan is good and in the midtier range which I prefer as a starter. but as others have said buy one in the line you prefer to play. The new German DD is interesting but if they nerf her OPness she is not so interesting anymore as I have all the German DDs with 10+ captains on T7 and up.Leningard is a solid choice but I have not played her yet though I got her in the Soviet bundle from sept.

GC absolutely needs the torp belt reduction buff

I agree with the posts accepting a recruiting message at the start - there is no problem with that in my mind. Can not say it is happening often enough to be a problem either for me I think it is rather 1 in 10 games max. nowadays. And most are German clans.

Probably Krazny as if I will get a supercontainer with a ship I want to ensure it is a good ship.....read Grem in the Santas To be fair the deals are good - and it is not surprising yhay yhey leave out the newest ships + some that has been on offer recently or at the moment. I have some doubloons from the Halloween mass crates so this is attractive. I may even buy the P Eugen just for the collection - the T8s are hardly going to be cheaper and I have every other ship on sale (and most non-sale also).

Comfy to play most are Chikuma, Bogatyr (high-end captains) and König, Zao can maybe fit in this category likewise GC.

I do not have time know to look for the stats threads but even in a system with 7v s 7 instead of 12 vs 12 the snowball effect will happen. As soon as the first and even more the second boat is sunk for either side even if the teams are evenly matched skillwise from the start this will happen, this is proven since long. The normal win in WoWS is probably with a 4-5 ship advantage, and as the numbers of games in WOS can be said to be statistically many enough this proves the theory. In naval battles this is called the N-square rule.

Well, OP, You are new to the game, you have only NO and Baltimore T8 and up. I do not know if you pay for premium account this accelerates XP and credits with 50%/game. PapaPapa flags 333% and the more rare special flag 777%. You do not have any Premium ship at higher tier, however your experience on higher tiers are limited , you only play US cruisers. The combination of a premium time, high tier ship/eventual camos or prem camos + flags can bring you a few thousand FreeXP per game. Most of these flags are difficult to obtain if you are not very good or veteran, but you can take flags in the containers that you recieve per day when you play , Papa papa is very rare however, the other special flag may be obtainable in tiny numbers on PTS play etc. Missouri however is a ship that is made to be a FreeXP sink for players with thousands of battles and many many ships =veterans. You have the Iowa in the tech tree. The FreeXP cost is so high for Missouri that you should not have it as a goal so early in the career, better use it for get rid of stock hulls on say T8+ grind. These rare flags are such that you do not waste them on low/mid tier ships , you save them as you will run out of them always. I do not use them myself until I know there is a goal. FreeXP are also available often as mission rewards in the various campaigns f.e. in the Yamamoto campaign there are more or less a FReeXP of a few thousand FReeXP on every level , but that campaign is tailored to the veteran. I do not remember know but you may have a few on the science of victory campaign which you should do as a new player. Hon service is also tailored to veterans. See Missouri as a long term goal in the distant future but you are too new at WOWS at the moment for that. It naturally depends on how much you play. If you want to spend part of it as doubloons first you need to have elite XP to convert on your ships, as you have few ships and seems to grind and perhaps not play lower tier after next ship and no premiums you do not collect elite XP either. That you also need. Otherwise wait for 35;1 exchange which happens from time to time, that is the cheapest in history so far.

He he But to be serious it adds complexity and if you are good you can take advantage of cyclones , it is after all on high tier

No the range must be the same, but you could have different weather conditions hard cyclone 8 semitough on 12 or something

There are plenty of designs in the McLaughlins book Russian and Soviet Battleships that are described , including this probably. I would like the Torp battleship.

Problem is if you drive that a step to far only helping players of certain clans or well known players. I try to do my best if they seems to follow some logical sound plan. Otherwise it is easy to become part of the problem yourself i.e. not teamplaying. It is a balance that is not always so easy. I am an optimistic person even if it turns bad sometimes, but I will not usually fail due to lack of effort. However it is also to balance that with the ship you have at your disposal. Meaningless death is worse as it loses points. Somegames you knew in the first minutes are lost but some that are on the tipping point may succeed if you believe in your team. And if newcomers should learn teamplay who are they going to learn it from if not the older players. Well it sounds better than it is in reality in WOWS but I think the game is more fun with a little optimism instead of just ranting in forums in various threads about bad teamplay and useless players, they are plenty but most are average with some sort of understanding at least. Some games they do well others not so well. Today I played (have not counted) say 30 games, 5-8 or so were good 3 bad rest middle of the road.
