A decent Bogatyr game. It has been a little more difficult after the range buffs of the BBs and RN BBs arrival + some other changes to reach the great results but 120 K is fine. I was so annoyed that the rest of the team at my half of the map sank and had to fight several seals alone (one good player there and it had been goodbye). Still a excellent sealclubber though. I am annoyed at myself. After I sank the D-T I wrote something in chat to the rest of the team - pls sink something.. but the D-T had launched torps which I could not avoid as I got stuck in the writing position---so stupid. Otherwise it could have been great. Finally the last 4 ships managed to sink the single surviving enemy and we won.

Never sell a premium that you enjoy especially if it is withdrawn from sale. Kutuzov is a great credit/Xp earner. I have now soon my Chapayev captain at 19 points, which I then can farm elite XP in Kutuzov with. I have potatoed a few times with the new smoke rules, been catched by a DD or some ships that walks into the detection range but such things happen (so other ships can fire at me). I must remind myself to be more careful. But I guess I will adjust automatically after a while. But it will be some games that you are catched if you are not willing to gamble you will not be rewarded, to find the balance is the key I think.

Yes, of the posting here it seems that all postings that stated they have bought the large package got all skins. If that is the rule is another thing but noone has yet posted that they did not get all. It is at least a high probability that you get most of them with 55. I had more luck than you 20000 in duplicates and 18 camos in the first but only 6 out of 25 in the last extra package (17500 doubloons). You should have got 7500 doubloons for your 3 duplicates as the T3 were 2500 each. I value the prem camos for the old 200 package prize (18-19 EUR/200). The new prize is ridicolous. But it has been a lot of them to be had in various contests/missions. Nice that you are pleased at least. I had to buy the Rasputin for 4000 of my doubloons, yes insane but I must have it. It is the duplicates that brings the packages attractive if one buys more. However it is unfortunate that WG is so reluctant to speak about roughly chance estimates. I would not have bought the 55 package if I have not seen other postings that were succesful. Many other containers have been rather disappointing/expensive. But Santas and these I am pleased with.

I personally bought enough pumpkins to get all the camos and then laid out the monstrous 4000 to get the Rasputin camo, but as I just want them for admiration in my port. I may take out them a few times to see them move in the sea. F.e. Chapayevs camo with that piston on the side I like very much as I am a steam engine fan. But after a few games I suspect I get tired of it. Sadly it seems that I can not have the camo on but display the ship as normal - because they are prem camos so they have the 50%XP benefit. Biz, Tirp Martel I have perm camos on before so that is not where I need them but on the others.

With the release of Update 0.6.13 when the 'A Light In The Dark' operation will no longer be available, all ships and their Commanders will be removed from players' accounts. All upgrades, signals, and flags will be removed from the ships and taken to the Inventory Snipped from here: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/updates/dasha-through-the-snow/

well you have been able to bought Hood and G. Cesare the HSF ships f.e. with captains skilled up to 12 points. This is nearing the limits for P2W. The expensive way of converting 1,7 M XP for a 19 p captain means around 50000 doubloons (assuming 35:1 sale). Let it stay that way. Aragathors post above with diminishing value for rewards is also a factor, right now you can win a 12p RU captain f.e. I do not want to see captains for sale

Never judge a ship stock, best is to have the necessary FreeXP for the upgrades. One thing have you forget , Yugumos (and IJNs) long range gunnery is far better. That is very good if you face a Fletcher that is lower health or when you kite away from it. Fletcher has difficulty hitting you while you have it far easier to land hits. Some other stuff you write are more correct. But with top torps Yugumo is dangerous. And you need high level captain also (but we assume similar captain here).

True but accept that despite being random and decent it takes a few games to learn and master. I have succeeded 1 in 3 games w 2 stars and my goal is 3-4 stars, i will play the games a few times after all ypu get decent elite captain XP so it is not entirely wasted. I have play cruiser twice and BB once and it is easy to get lost in the mist, suddenly the bots are so many so it is more a questin of survival as long as possible. I will not play DD or CV. Yes sure the teams are useless sometimes/often in operations but some times the tolerance level is far too low. When people have the time if they like it to play a few times the results will be better for those, it is just that you can not have too many new players in the team. But several like myself have hardly have time to play a lot yet or study, today is the first non-work day.

Well one difference is maybe that they can train and dicuss various tactics and put a lot of work there and you have also good aiming skill. I know thay I sometimes lack the concentration even though I some games put everything right. But if you are a few percent better on that thing , a few percent better on the other stuff normally and also play in division you do get results over time. Many times a early kill can make a huge difference to get the advantage, they have higher chance of doing so that is why they win more. I think that some of Flamus newest videos where he goes through the thougt process are very good and informative. But as @Ferry_25 states his build may not suit my playstyle or lack of skill.

Thought I was finished as I recieved all the camos in my 55 package. But I recieved a 10% off coupon today ingame for being a member for 2 years, lasting only a few days. Well I thought the best way of using it (I know a new 55 package would be better technichally but I have too many of the ships already) was going for a 25 package. Reason is I have not the Alabama and a few others so well I can always buy a Enterprise for the collection as I am only at T5/6 in CVs but it can be placed in store. You can buy but you do not need to play in randoms until you are ready. And as I want the Gremmy if the Santas event returns you must have the other possibilities! This package was worse. I got 18 camos out of in my 55 which was good and all the 8 T8s. I only recieved 1 T8 and 5 T3 from 25 so number was a somewhat low as well as distribution. But 17500 Gold for the prize never the less brings me the Alabama at a hefty discount, even if we count all other things for free. 6xcamos =17500 GOld 7x15 =105 Prem camos (Now I got around 900-1000 to use) 2x1,5 = 3 Mkr cred (for me to no use) 3x20000 FreeXP=60000 (well a good step to the Musashi) 7x75 flags India Xray I have 1000+ but the Sierra mike and Indian delta can always be used though I have large quantities. Considering it is reasonable to use the 10% coupon on something and that I have lots of prem time left there was not so much else to choose from and buy doubloons through the pumpkin packages when you already have a lot (pref. all camos) are good value as others have discovered.

Yes saw your post and elaborated a little, seems like you reasoned like me. Lots of "cheap" premiums to buy for you, I have only a few left. See above.

You seem to disagree? But do you have any premium ships? You have a privat account. Cosmetics - yes , but flags and camos helps your play /grind and saves time that is money, different to different people Are you interested in buying premiums in the Tech tree? Consider that you buy first one 55 x package get all the camos and then some doubloons +flags+normal camos (altogether 18 camos incl. duplicates) . If I would buy a second 55 package and get the doubloon value for the same package. (18 duplicates) 9x2500=22500 +9x5000=45000 =67500 doubloons. Let us say that you get 50000. People here seems to get 15-17 in the thread so lets be cautious. Alabama and Enterprise costs in the shop around 12-14000 Gold each. What is then the prize? It is roughly 50% off? If you only play for free you naturally are not interested but if you buy premiums in the tech tree, it is well interesting, prem camos for T10s for cheap prize. For me it is the same type of affair as in the summer sales, but to get the most value you need to go big. All of this naturally is due to non-changing chance patterns that you more or less recieve all the camos in the first package so you get the doubllons for duplicates. But you have compare to the figures published here if they are to take as the natural dividend and distribution of camos a decent chance to do good business, provided you are interested in prem content. Personally I have already 45000 doubloons and nearly all premiums in the tech tree and many T10 Prem camos. Wonder if many other players calculates like this and also wonder if the camos distribution would soon be nerfed. It seems that some in this thread have reached that conclusion. So I wonder Bombsaway - are you by nature negative, uninterested in premium stuff or if you are interested in other prem stuff and find them OK unable to calculate? You can not dismiss prem camos with all the tech trees now for new players you need timesaving measures and the costs of premium may be expensive for many but it saves time and that is a cost. If you play 30-50% less games for same XP and have possibilty to utilize time saved profitably which you do if there is any drive in you!

55 Package=805 SEK. I reasoned that the prize per container if you got the 15 camos was about 0,10 EUR per camo which is far cheaper than the offers in shop, more in line with previous offers. It is a question if you want the camos or not. A long time I was worried but in the last 7 the missing 4 were. 20000 doubloons for duplicates well it is not to bad together with 255 camos. Wonder if I can use the camos and click away the visual but have the effect on the ship. I think these containers compared to other containeroffers is pretty alright. (but it is expensive. However if you do buy the larger packages are decent if you have use for camos. I love the steampunk. I want them even if I will use them sparingly. I have not the wisdom to say no to these things Results: Igorx3 Bladex5 Jackalx1 Vargx2 Scarabx1 Ghoulx1 Magnus-sx1 Syvetzarx1 Nobilumx1 Great Gorgonx1 Urashimax1 Halloweenx15x3 Halloween 2016x15x10 BlueLagoonx15x2 StormWindx15x2 Indian Deltax75x5 Sierra Mikex75x2 India Xrayyx75x2 1,5 Mkrx2 20000 FReeXPx9 I got what i wanted, it seems you have decent chance if you buy the large package to get them, considering the published draws here, but you never know.

Then I must tell you folks a rare bright story, played a game in Lion today, a Moskva in enemy team suddenly went broadside 7km away (not potatoing he had to avoid torps from CV) and I deleted him with 3 cits and 42000 Dmg. Well all he said was a RN BB using AP , it seemed to work. I gave him good manners afterwards. He knows obviously what can happen. So everyone is not stupid, I like it.

What is the point of playing on steam instead of directly?

Your suggestions not too bad, but have you no eyes, you have a pinned thread above with suggestions

Is it? One aspect you forget is the off-chance that you get a lucky shot to tilt the balance, better players have per definition better chance to do it but OTOH if he gets really lucky the worse player can win though it is not likely. I like them thus reflecting the fortunes of war as they are rare but not impossible. That in 1 vs 1 even if you are behind you might get lucky, makes it worth to try

It is a impressive figure but you can not use your personal experience in CV which you obviusly have great skill in. The CVs are statwise for the unicums the ship class to go to. I guess that only a handful unicums have that figure in the other ship classes, in any ship with say over 300 battles in, definately not in solo play.

Both Dunkerque and GC has its strengths. I managed to get of my best games overall in my history (Qualitywise/Tier) in Dunkerque 197K Dmg when I really did not put a foot wrong (and if the enemy are bad). GC seems easier to get decent damage/overall gameperformance tierwise. But I have to few games yet but I feel some similiraties with König. Userfriendly. Forgiving to miscalculations where you go, you have the speed to reposition. Both @Exocet6951 and @Nechrom have valid points. I have them both as a collector. I will recommend GC for a beginner, Dunkerque I will not recommend for a beginner.

Well how so? You do not have a 48% to start a fire against a T9 ship as the ships have a fire reduction based on tier, which also is in the calculation. But it is a meaningful figure to compare with other ships. If you have had 48% on a T3 ship vs T3 you start all other things equal more fires as their tier based fire reduction is lower..

I think how you prize it also is about her credit abilty or other tweaks. Therefor the prize might be outrageous but not too excessive. After all you compare the prize with Nelson and Missouri. For veteran players it is of course a sink, but for newer players that have none of the freeXP ships (and future) there must be some sense in the prizing also compared what a entire line costs. I remembered when Missouris prize were leaked how much negativity it was of the then rumoured 700-800 K so those who hopes for 1,5 M K is for me out in the blue. I think that Missouri + maybe 100 or so, depending on what benefits you give it. Personally I have both Missouri (which I seldom play) and Nelson. Nelson I was prepared to pay a lot for as she is different but Musashi when I have Yamato in worser shape, it is just a collectible which I naturally want but doubt I play her much. I have some months of grinding as I am only at 375 K now. I would have hoped for some cheaper mid tier FreeXP sinks other than BBs.

well personally I succeeded far more in the later stages and I played well over 125 games. Think I managed around 20-25.

1 st game 113 K in a T7 fight - but some of the enemy was not to skilled. So she must be tested more against better opponents. Managed to down some Hiryu planes so the AA does not seem useless. Lots of fires f.e.. An enemy OR which must have ran out of repairs suffered hard. Dev. striked a broadside Schors with AP so can punish cruisers fine.

New ships are never that

Arffff.. Now the Premiums seems to come in large numbers ... interesting premiums poor wallet.. Bought it today of course for some nice friday entertainment - and also to grab the last two wins in the OR marathon
