IDK what bugs you m8 its a pretty standard weekend after patch nowadays

You might be the victim of RPF

Sharnhorst and Sinop

Ok after I tried Halland my verdict is - its garbage... I had loss after loss with that piece of ship and its not even the matter of doing damage, its not hard to do that DOT "pecking" damage like at all BUT you just have no real tools to carry... You have no tools to push and force caps (hydro, radar or even overwhelming gun or torp power), no tools to disengage so opening fire is risky as f* (no smoke or speed boost to break contact), not to mention that there is no option to really punish pushing BBs or CAs with radar due to weak torps (so you are completely reliant on random teams for focus and we all know how that usually ends up), this line is not even good for the campaign missions to start fires as you cant shoot from smoke (Friesland is a much better DD for that then the entire line put together) they are meh at best and I am just not bothering with them anymore, with any oh them, Friesland will remain in port for some fun and occasional euro mission and thats it... Only real gimmick unique to Halland (compared to rest of the silver lines) is the AA suite which is admittedly very strong for a DD but still wont prevent a strike form a T10 CV and since you are sluggish and slow as well as huge well... In short

Pretty much the same, actually the permanent campaign tasks are much harder in general then they are/were in any of the temporary ones, ofc there are simple tasks you can repeat in all of them but I am talking tasks "on average in themselves", you know as if in - you go to finish most/all of them...

We had time gated campains before as well ie all christmas ones and steel monsters had 6 mth expiation date as well only the 4 permanemt campains were/are actually permanent

No and good riddance

WUT?

These DDs are all about DOT

AA cruisers and dds need incoming damage reduction vs aerial ammo, even if you have IDK something like a Mino with 500-ish cont AA but 40k hp next to a BB with 400 fpm AA but 100k hp its obvious which will be the likely target, let alone a DD with 150 dpn and 20k hp... OFC implementing air orfnance damage reduction would call for a nerf elswhere thats why it should go to slot 5 for starts (you give up concealment or rudder) possibly even have more tradeoffs like worse handling, additonal fire chance or whatnot

IMO good suggestions My 2c BFT should increase continuous AA much more like at least 20% (or more) we see that basically anything below 500 cont dpm is useless on T10 and most ships cant reach that even with full AA builds... AFT shoud either extend RANGE as it used to or stack with BFT to reward full AA commitment... Surface ships should get new module for slot 5 called something like AA modification 3 that would cut the damage missiles and bombs do by 25-50% flat in a way torp belt does for torps so DDs and CAs can be comaprable in durability vs CVs since they are desired targets due to half or 1/4 hp of a BB even if they have suitable AA values as such In return CV should get more damage reduction to planes via modules with regen or speed tradeoff or even loadout reduction (ie you recieve 50% less cont damage but can only carry half the missiles/bombs or increase the dropiinh elipse signigivantly like 50% radius) also cvs should get to choose plane loadouts ir in the line - big total squads with smaller individual drop groups but faster regen or big kroups with longer regen for instance if you have 12 total you can drop in pairs six times and have plane regen say 70s as its now or you can have six planes drop two times but have say 100s regen and slower return times

Extra stuff? T8+ ship can hardly be called that in a game this old

Well... 1) Campain lasts for 6 mth grinding up to t8 takes like a week? 2) You will be able to buy Orkan in shop soon 3) You can freexp a tree ship (or even Smalland) 4) You dont have to do all tasks to finish and most dont seem to be euro tasks at all

What ideas? IIRC that was the concept?

Hmm wasnt the original NTC supposed to give "LUs" for all tiers?

Good when I come home I am unlocking and equipping Halland and the harvest can begin... ^^

Soo are tasks repeatable, doable in random, coop, rank, cb etc?

Only devs can actually answer this but different premium ships definetley have different base xp modifires so it stands to be assumed the credit modifiers are not same on all of them either

IMHO T5-7 meh (sell and forget) T8 good (maybe keeper) T9 ok-ish overall (but not keeper) Halland is likely to be keeper for me if judged on paper stats but OFC it remains to be seen if she lives up to it for me

True but within a game there is the fun part (good ships, events) and the grind (not so much fun but you gotta go through them to get to the fun part) part no? For instance most T9 tree ships are not fun to play like at all

Something costing loads of my time is note free

Well yea right there back when this event started I counted how much the permacamos are worth and set that as the rough amount of gold I am ready to spend on the event, I collected most boxes (didnt finish this last twich mission step 5 for 2k base xp and likely wont either as I obviously dont need those few extra tokens anymore) and I stayed below that mark so I feel I got my moneys worth in this and as extra I got the Smaland permacamo should I decide to get her one day after all and ofc option to have some early fun with those ships as well as some camos and flags as collateral... I already have quite a nice amount of XP on Ostergotland and tomorrow afternoon when I get back from work I will be able to get Halland with a bit of freexp so I am ok with this event

Well I spent some gold and got all permacamos (including T10s) so I am satisfied with the deal In all honesty as I work for my money and it takes a lot of my time as I have to spend it away from home sometimes few bucks worth of gold are less of a cost then grinding something out

I guess it is but then again if you really want that ship does it matter? You get some flags and cams as collateral and thats that, ofc since tommorow you will get her anyway its your call... I dont see where the braking is, they give you an option to pay to progress faster you take it or not, or for some premium ships... OFC since tomorrow is patch day its likely not worth it, you do get the permacamo though

Well in all honesty you have some gold in stock, just buy the damn crate?
