Jvd2000

Not decided yet. Normally i thought will grind the first 18 and then buy the 2 remaining. But not sure aftef I checked all the required grind that will be required. To make it more comfortable for i i just should buy the 8K doubloon package... Either way, would not buy Odin ful prize -25% discount (regular t8 BB), 3500 is a maybe. If i fail at getting 18 steps i would be hard pressed to spent more then 3500.

Today received the final 2 crates for finishing the last remaining mission for the 4th directive. Already received the crates for the meta achievement ( a paltry 80 tokens for 12 crates) One of them was the regular “ 5 tokens and a middlefinger from WG” and one the 300 jackpot. Unfortunately this bonanza does not change much. My final reward is the Riga permanent camo. Would have received it anyway thanks to Bagration tokens. Am 150 tokens short for actual Riga and will not invest into gamble crates. So in essence it’s about 3 million extra silver ( rather cash strapped) so yea..

If you would have spent it on Mikoyan you could get addditional tokens available for playing Mikoyan. So if you get to play 7 games with her this week you get 105 tokens as refund. If you could have gotten Mikoyan earlier you wasted even more tokens.. So for less then 200 tokens you get aT5 premium ship as you earn back 105 by playing. I got her first week and got 415 tokens due to her missions only.

Well I did my Clemson and Orion clubbing in the past. The only below T5 non premium ships I kept playing after unlocking the next tier. But not 5k games, maybe 50 combined? And the joy that you could almost carry your team regardless of the incompetence of your own team. Like there are some OP ships low tier that makes you almost immune from your own team desire to lose the match. But this Hosho player stays at T4 just to be a big fish in the small pond while not able to make even a splash in the sea of higher tiers. Sad.

Got the Kamikaze R from pearl event. I am no dd player. But Kamikaze is the dd that I have had some good games with. Did not play her after cv rework so not sure if this has effected her. You have good torps that make short work with any red player that is not sailing wasd. And at T5 that’s still happening a lot. Concealment is godtier, your guns are meh but even then pack a reasonable Alfa for the unprepared enemy dd. Aa is garbage.

Well all 4 are really on the lower side of good premiums. Never have read any good about this ships in reviews. Have Gorizia And Yudachi. One is a torpless Zara the other a worse silver T7 jpn dd. But they are all quite new premiums but I understand that they sell bad. Gorizia maybe had his moment when it gave a bonus during the PR grind. Maybe some bought Cheshire for the bonuses during the U.K. ca arc. But for now, they are really last options and crate loot items. But being this new might be a bit early to make them freemiums yet.

Interested in buying this ship? Well be aware that there is a commanders package version for 37 euro...This one is reallly promoted "up in your face". I was already tempted to write a comment like..ugh only sold in bloated version… you get 1500 doubloons, flags, credits and a 10 point capt. But if you scroll through the ships you will also find a "clean" version for 17 euro.. But WG hid this one well.....

Well you don’t want to be targeted in this ship. Whether by bots are human players. HE shots by bots in Scenarios will burn you down quick and BB will blab you. You need to be aware of being targeted and keep a good look at the numbers aiming for you. Nürnberg/ Makarov is the rapid fire spawning ship with mediocre HE ( but with improved pen) and very good AP ( But only towards non angled ships!). Molotov has much better AP penetration at range, even better railguns But much slower reload. Both don’t have good armor though so even DD can citadel you reliably.

Molotov = Kirov with Dimitrij Donskoi guns (T9) So a T5 upgraded to T6 due to its guns.. platform stays at T5 though. Makarov= Nürnberg C hull with only small chanages to aa. Most of the time Nürnberg players prefer B hull due to extra set of torps on both sides..like that extra aa is relevant now...

Does the Makarov retain the German HE pen? If so it might fit less with your Sov captains having IFHE.

Not sure if this qualifies for supercontainerloot but... I got a Marblehead Lima out of the cheapest recruitment container. Not sure how the drop rate are but I was happy. Because I already had the ship I got 3100 doubloons . Marblehead being the highest valued price that this container can give So quite nice. Was hoping on Mikasa ( only ship I miss from the possible drops) but this is even better.

Molotov.

Well thanks for the reminder, it’s the only really lower tier that I miss ( whale alert) and I might scoop this up to make sure the Xmas crates can only cough up T8 and higher.

Nürnberg copy. Or infact it is the Nürnberg but under new management since it was taken by Soviets after ww2 as prize. It has a bit different AA though.

Not at all interested in the submarines. Will not play them even once. Only thing that matters is that I receive 6 times some coal a day interrupted by a day where instead I receive 3 subs...

I think heal is the lesser problem of T7 cruisers. It’s missing out on the 5th module*( concealment) and the inferior HE penning they get. And the shift from T8 towards T7 as the prime “ unlucky” mm. *also DD’s and BB’s suffer from missing out on the 5th module but atleast DD’s have a base good concealment and BB’s are only BBQ’ed slowly.

Camo before actual ships is a good thing in value for us. With my current luck I might get the Riga camo.. worth much more then the Riga. Actually I am still angry with myself that I gambled with rng boxes to get my Italian cruisers instead of putting all my tokens in the good looking Italian permanent camo’s in the first place. Atleast I now have the camo so the grind is cheaper to actually get the ship. Although mentioning that you have 1000 camo’s ( But are they good camo’s or the cheap ones) in your inventory, well perm camo’s are most of the time inferior ( esp belowT9) compared to the really good ones but still nice to have.

The Odin almost free seems like a good deal but she is not. In the end normally 3500 doublouns buys you a T V, so a T8 looks a good deal. If you can do all the 18 level ups by grinding. Sure it’s not madness grind like PR ( missions are a bit more doable) but in the end what is the reward? At the most a very mediocre ships that has all its qualities ofset by glaring liabilities. So you end up by taking potshots at range, something this ship will be outperformed by many other BB’s. Only hope is that WG will buff it in the future because it will perform bad. This bad avarage performance agrevated by a certain playerbase , that will make Derpitz look like a relative minor thing. And again while Tirpitz is a good ship, this one is not. I will look very carefull at the mission requirements and then decide to go all in or not. Already having Graf Spee does limit the benefit ( credit compensation only) and other phase rewards seem meh at most.

I used both type of captains. Both work but one cost 4 more skill points for not really much more benefit. It’s a bit of gamble though. Sometimes you face ships where you really regret taking IFHE. The next game it would have been a bonus. But I always wonder: if I don’t do IFHE, what else is relevant for such a cruiser? Normally my standard IFHE cruiser with heal takes 17 points. CE, IFHE, DE, the skill that gives you extra consumable, AR, skill that gives you idea you are targeted. I mean you save 4 points, but how to spend them smart?

For now, and I mean really now is Bagration. It’s a solid T8 cruiser. T8 is more fun now the before since T7 feels the pain of being uptiered. It has a heal so that’s another setback gone. And you now can atleast profit from still 3 weeks of bonus missions worth 630 tokens. These can turned into cash directly or atleast an extra perm camo for the new Russian cruiser line. And as a bonus you get triple xp until 11 June without limitations.. You can get the same perks with the Ochakov but she is way less solid imo

Never ever sell premiums. You just gave away 400 ish tokens due to not getting them from the Mikoyan mission. And you deserve the Karma that the next epic drop crate will give you Mikoyan again...

Better still buy the Mikoyan. The extra bonus tokens you get from her missions will buy you more camo’s etc then for the tokens you saved not buying her.

But potato’s exist in red teams too. It’s just better now to div up with 2 allies that atleast you can somehow rely on ( not talking of a purple div here just people you know don’t lick windows) and just with 3 capable players blab all noobs on team red. You will not win all, some teams cannot be carried and you will have THAT red ream that does have a capable dd or even worse a capable cv. But against your standard potato red ream your dig might make a difference. in the end this will not change much ( you are now frustrating that poor capable sod in the red team cursing his potatoes) but it will increase your winrate. Although not sure if 5 mins roflestop victories are much more satisfying?

My token drop rate is above avarage with 10 tokens a crate.. Currently have 155 tokens and Mikoyan bought. Thats 455 tokens minus 210 from Bagration ( 37 euro package) and 105 from Mikoyan. A total of 315 from ship missions. The rest (140)is 120 from crates and 20 from news event. 120 crates / 8 directive crates+ 1 daily+ 3 Twitch mission makes 10 tokens avarage. But even with this above avarage droprateit would have taken me until week 3 to get Mikoyan. And at that time the remaining bonus tokens would probably not been enough for Tallinn camo. So you either invest early or be in luck early to get a rewarding experience...you need to get Mikoyan early to get that bonus tokens weekly to fully do its job.

To protect you? In the bundle there is also an advertised cashback worth 6k doubloons. That’s the six thousand you get back when you convert your tokens for Mikoyan. Since you already have Mikoyan from this package before buying the whale package this would interfere with the 6 doubloon cashback promise. Normally a tier v is not 6k doubloons?
