A final summary of all the boxes I opened: I have bought 87€ worth of boxes this year: - 32x medium - 10x small I received, either through missions or gifts: - 2x large - 4x medium - 28x small Out of these I pulled: Ships- -Monaghan (18€) -Nueve de Julio (32€) -Boise (32€) -Ashitaka (34€) -Massachusetts (45€) Total shop value - 184€ Doubloons - 6300 (23€) Free XP - 50000 Coal - 32500 New Year camo 2018 - 144 Type 59 camo - 24 (12€) Signals- -Zulu - 100 -Papa Papa - 200 -Zulu Hotel - 100 -Equal Speed Charlie London - 50 -Ouroboros - 15 -Hydra - 15 -Leviathan - 15 -Red Dragon - 60 -Basilisk - 30 -Scylla - 45 -Wyvern - 15 Total approximate shop value - 219€ A relatively decent haul, considering I already own most T5+ premiums. I was lucky to get all of the premiums I really wanted (Z-39, Boise), plus more. I'm quite happy with the return on my boxes this year, even though the Nikolai eludes me.

Which CVs have participated in the Siege of Leningrad?

That's one hell of a price for a port slot.

Most likely it's a control setting so that they can see who participated, and not a real mission.

What's with the Lifting the Siege personal missions? 1 mil base XP in three days? I understand that you don't like to explain things to people and hold us in contempt, but this is just dumb.

Not only that. Leningrad has more speed and a lower profile, even though the ship is longer. There's an experimental build I'm running on Gremy/Leningrad where I use Ovechkin specced as a hybrid captain with both AFT and CE, I'm getting better and better results with him.

For EU it's: Blys - 12704 games Haida - 3725 games Z-39 - 8848 games Leningrad - 11936 games Sims - 6890 games For Ru: Blys - 5926 games Haida - 2309 games Z-39 - 4222 games Leningrad - 21067 games Sims - 6688 games For EU the closest in terms of games played are Blys and Leningrad, so their stats can be compared pretty well especially since the ships have a similar setup. RU has Haida and Lenin as outliers.

Mahan's guns are getting a reload buff, which will allow a Mahan to fire twice in the time Blyska fires once. That will mostly compensate the fire chance difference, as right now Blyska sits on 44,2% fire chance per salvo and Mahan 22,6%. AP on DDs is very situational, HE is the bread and butter. The HE DPM of a Blyska is 109.037, while Mahan after the upgrade will have 161.640. That's without BFT. The only solid advantage Blyska has over other DDs is the velocity and range combination of the guns.

In my 2 years of WoWS experience, whenever they start "mentioning" things, you can take it to the bank that it will happen.

The whole concept of a support carrier branch is dumb as hell. I could have understood them dividing carriers into light (small squadrons, fast replacements) and fleet (large squadrons, slow replacements) carriers. But carriers that have plans that cap or lay smoke? Gimme a break.

Last time they changed campaign tasks the started tasks were automatically completed.

Me too. 18k per fish at t6 is something.

Lost to @xxNihilanxxand his clan while playing CBs. Won against @Mr_Tayto, @Cippalippus,@Gojuadorai, @ForlornSailor, and their other NWP clanmates. Luckily all in beta, as my clan is just trying to get wins for as many people as we can. CBs are the place to meet forum members, my clanmates stated asking random teams if they know me...

I really like the fake forced optimism of the article as the train wreck heads towards the abyss. In a few months you aren't going to be releasing alternate CV lines, you will be losing players and trying to save the game.

I decided to buy the campaign after receiving a 30% coupon, meaning the price went from 49.99€ to 34.99€. I am still of the opinion that the base price is too high and I wouldn't have bought it without the coupon. I would like to address not the value of the contents, as @Strefsalready did that in a separate topic. Instead I'd like to give feedback as to my personal opinion of the rewards: - 4000 Steel - the main reason I bought the campaign. I would have been more happy if the other rewards were removed and the campaign oscillated only around grinding steel. - 10x 8 standard signals - these signals should not have been included. Larger amounts of these signals can be found in the arsenal for coal and other campaigns reward them in much bigger packages. These signals aren't proper rewards and in the future campaigns should be removed. -- 28x days of WoWS premium time - as a long time player I have a lot of premium time, receiving 28 days is of no value to me. Also, the immediacy of the premium time means people would need to calculate when to activate it if they didn't play daily. I would have been more happy to see the equivalent value of these days paid out in doubloons, as then I would have been able to decide what I needed. - 4x medium, 1x large Santa box - putting RNG boxes into a paid campaign is a mistake. Any RNG content save a guaranteed supercontainer should not be a part of this campaign. I received better rewards just for owning T10 ships during the anniversary. - 7x 5 New year's camos - these were actually nice. I really liked the fact that they were camos from all of the new year events, even though the amounts were very small. - 3x 3 Chinese new year camos - getting the very rare camos was also good. There are very few ways to obtain them. The low amount compared to filler material smarts however. I must say that this campaign had too much filler and not enough substance. Asking 50€ for this is exorbitant.

Aigle will soon get a buff to the torpedo range. They will go from 7km to 8km. This will allow Aigle to have a 1km stealth firing window.

Because if it were missions for the Black version it would be named Tirpitz B Gold Rush. A Massachusetts dropped from a satan crate for me, so I've got 2,5k dubs for free.

*edited* Good point on the Minsk. Using the same skin on both wouldn't fit. The Minsk camo should be modified.

The doubloon missions are only valid for the standard premium ships and not the black versions.

I'm happy that the winning design isn't the worst offender *edited* Save for the icons on the funnel it reminds me of the Oleg.

Let me save you some time and give you the official WG response to any calls for ship buffs based on public stats:

The answer to the question you are more or less asking is, coop can be fun. And I agree with @Juanx, it's sometimes way better than playing randoms where I often have to play 1 vs. 23, because a lot of the time green dumbos can't play the objective.

Two things: -Flamu said that he finds the following build to work - PT, LS, AR, SE, BFT, AFT, IFHE. Going to try it, at least with AFT/BFT. -In a game he played every hit has been knocking out his modules. It was insane how bad the ship was. PS: He also said that T7 is now the cr@p tier.

And it also didn't get the pen change larger German secondary guns received. So it uses 1/6 pen instead of 1/4 pen the 128mm and 150mm get.
