You will get a compensation of 1 credit. As WG_Ev1n said on reddit you should then open a Customer Support ticket to get that 1 credit exchanged for the doubloon value of the ship, which should be around 20k doubloons.

Not from what I have seen, Jingles got Monaghan doubles and then a Krasny Krym and a Kronshtadt.

I'm not going to spend too much this year, as it looks like the crates have been nerfed hard. Last year we could get 30x Frosty Fir Tree camos out of the large boxes, now it's only 20x Streamer camo. Premium time has been removed completely. Last year we had a no doubles system, where instead of getting doubloons for a ship you had in port you got a re-roll on the premium ship table. I'm not really certain the boxes are worth it this year.

To you, because you don't play coop and have demonstrated a low opinion of people playing this mode. But it's not about coop and that's what you are ignoring. It's about the fact that even though he paid money for a permanent camo he is still losing silver.

Well, to be honest a coop game requires a lot more effort than what you put into writing your post. Since the matter at hand doesn't concern you and you have nothing practical to contribute, but some bad vibes, move along. Croesyceiliog has put about 15€ on his Neptune, by buying a permanent camo and I think this is reason enough for him not to lose silver when having an average game in his ship in coop. People who play coop with standard camos should understand the consequences though.

Seeing as T9s are in a bad spot already, I see no reason why WG shouldn't improve the servicing cost reduction on the permanent camos.

The emblems are a way to reward people who have been collecting ships and have a lot of them in port. The Collector's Club started as an exclusively Russian group of people who have a special flag, a subforum for themselves, special shop offers, and participate in testing of new ships. WG, after a long time of non-RU users pestering them about it, decided to implement the Collector's Club worldwide. But in a downsized version, since right now we only get emblems.

I went with PT, AR, SI, AFT, IFHE, on my 14p captain. Going to add CE on top, so I can sneak up on people instead of being spotted from the moon. I think taking ManSec is a question of taste. But in my opinion IFHE is a better choice. Although if you want to go ham on the secondaries you could take both.

I must say, that's a healthy dose of common sense you just presented. A good thing too. I would have loved to see the shipstorm if it wasn't the case. From the sidelines. As a spectator.

I would like to try the duck and join the lottery. PS: Thanks for doing it this year too.

So, you want to tell us, that in the whole time this was prepared no one stood up and asked "what about test and loaner ships?" I'd say you have a serious internal problem when such a problem was recognized only after the rollout date. Since the ranked and clan battles emblems haven't unlocked retroactively for me, I'd say you are looking at playing a battle in every single ship to unlock those emblems. If you qualify for a collector's emblem that would be 100+ battles.

Yes, it is possible to receive every ship removed from sale through a SC. With the last update the free XP ships Missouri, Kronshtadt, and Musashi have been added too. The only premium ships not available through the SC are event/collaboration ships like Kamikaze R or Harekaze and ships that have been recently released.

Did you expect an update that would commit to a date? Or maybe a larger explanation with something that could be verified? The very fact that we got anything after only 11 days of waiting after the update is what I call Progress!®.

Your hypocrisy is showing. Also, WG should really consider whether they cater to all clans or the handful of hurricane ones. And change the CB model based on that.

This is very disappointing. Especially since it's content that is just in the client being unused.

Out of all ranked seasons this has already been the least enjoyable of all. Because of the hard divide between the clans that have Stalingrads and those that don't, any semblance of "skill" has been thrown out of the window. Because of the lack of interest on the part of WG to offer a fair and balanced competitive environment I can't see any point in playing Clan Battles in the future.

Please do. In fact since it would be quite a scientific achievement, you might want to cite sources and give Nature a call. They'd love to have you. So you are, for no reason whatsoever, hobbling your game by refusing to use the resources provided by WG. Why am I not surprised by that. I think his point is, that he wanted to have his ego stroked by having others agree with his vision of once a year SC with "good" content. But seeing as this is a forum frequented by people with their own opinions, he decided to just repeat himself when faced with contrary voices.

I still have one lying around. I'd love to turn it in for coal.

When trying to school someone on his reading comprehension, you should at least try to follow proper grammar.

SCs aren't useless now, it's just you that is getting bad rewards from them. It is your subjective opinion. While there are rewards that are quite subpar, the SCs still drop good rewards like steel, ships, special flags. For example having the chance to drop a SC limited to 1 per year would kill any reason to pick the TYL container. In fact we should rather push for a stackable mercy rule for those players that haven't received a SC in a long time.

I think WG should remove all content that can be bought in the Arsenal and replace it with coal. This would serve several purposes: -It would allow players to choose their reward, instead of giving them something potentially useless. -It would make the Arsenal even more attractive. -It would also mean that actually getting a SC would be something to look forward too. However i strongly disagree with lowering the chance for a SC. The chance is low as it is, making it even harder to get would make SCs useless.

Did you buy the standard version or the one with the banjo horn?

That's your subjective opinion and not an ex cathedra truth given from above. To you a 13s difference between a normal reload and a EL ammo switch might not mean much, but to me it's that little bit of edge I need to seize an opportunity. And to me, 13s is plenty quick.

It's useful, because it allows me to quickly switch between ammunition types and exploit opportunities which would not be possible if I had to wait the full reload on my high tier RN BBs. Contrary to other BB lines RN battleships benefit from ammunition switching and not investing in the ability to make quick adjustments hobbles the ships.
