Ez; freexp can be gained w/o spending a dime, albeit slowly, only by spending time on the game client which WG makes z-e-r-o revenue on. Thus granting you (previously) access to desirable boats; Missouri, Musashi, Kronshtadt to name three boats that's next to impossible to get at this moment. Also Smaaland is gone, Friesland will likely suffer the same fate and Nelson is scheduled for termination. So like you pointed out there will most likely be a drop in the future for freexp ships and afaik its fair game, WG is a business, but maybe re-introduce some freexp boats down the line would be a neat gesture. Tho I'm not holding my breath for that option...

"This is rubber duck"?

Balans-spreadsheet says да! #facepalm

Spreadsheet says Да! OT: For anyone familiar with online poker this somewhat has a ring like when Dnegs was put out in front of the "more rake is better, because"-debacle.

THIS! So. Many. Don't. Get. It. If my demise will flip the victory I'll go down swinging w/o grief of any kind, but far to often players are reluctant to risk being spotted/hit/hurt/_W_ because they believe that their own perseverance is the most important. Thus crouching behind an island or hiding beyond spotting range renders them near useless - but in their mind, I presume, they are the "winners" because they dont get sunk....

With the introduction of dEaD eYe *sigh* BBs certainly took the price, winning the "I-camp-and-snipe-from-the-backline" medal each and every random battle. So with the removal of this skill I for one hope to get em' of the fence, so to speak (not holding my breath tho) In general I don't think that a certain class the most useless in providing but for me @HMS_Kilinowski pretty much hits the nail on the head here: cheers A dd-main.....

tl;dr: Are you gonna qualify why certain ships are disallowed into clan battles or is that reason to be sent to Gulag for asking bout' it? Max one Mino, KremlinOP-balance and Gearing - I so/so understand..... Also the fact that you want to keep the CVs near untouchable/indestructible so no AA-DDs that can heal, e.g. Halland got the Axe #facepalm But Monty? I mean. Its a good ship, but why in the world is that "wAy ToO gOoD tO bE aLlOwEd"?! Wierd.... Edit: nvm, just ordered myself a reading course in English for beginners, omegalulz

Maybe not the right place but nevertheless; any plans to add an option to fly a third (or fourth for that matter) flag now you're tossing em' out like madmen? xD Edit: Only for the vanity, ikr....

Valid point, and for the record I'd welcome that fwiw.

So we play with live ammo. Except we don't cuz the snowflakes could get hurt. This is yet another massive "dumbing it down" step leading me closer to the door for good. Unfortunately --- I really like, liked the game..... Edit: So subs are gonna be just spammed with DW-charges from your team that does zero damage to you but sink the enemy subs??! What a pile of horse manure. Edit part deux: Like @DFens_666 pointed out below ones AA should also strafe friendly planes if they wander into your AA bubble while firing against enemy planes.

This. Only once it reset I reset a line that the current meta so/so encourages, usually I can make it in time but a few times I've resorted to complete it with free xp. Contemplating resetting again in august but not after that. BBs I couldn't care for and the cruisers doesn't really gets my juices flowing. Could purchase a few LMU/UU but nothing really is of my interest atm.

Sabaton - Bismarck. ....wasn't aware of other options

Wild guess; credits - couple of millions. ....if we were, say, pre 2019 it would probably be doubloons I for one are not holding my breath.

Unpopular opinion: I'm looking forward to the subs being added (no joke) And I still have problems wrapping my head around the animosity towards subs being introduced. More and more I lean towards the OG promise "nO wE wIlL nEvEr AdD sUbS, PrOmIsE" Well, guess what fellas; like Dylan once sang "For the times they are a-changin'" Now I do in fact recognize the possibility of a major cluster f*** bc of insufficient testing etc. both by the player pool and by the developers. Thus creating a "CV rework" 2.0 outcome but from my perspective its like pushing on the sea. WG (and admittedly I'm biased cuz also myself) have their heart set on implementing this class into the game and leaves you with two options: part ways with the game or embrace it best you can. I for one hope the subs could turn out to become a CV-killer/CV-threat, thus forcing the CV to help locate the sub rather than annihilate the surface ships with no interruptions.

*looks up stats* 138 randoms and 282 co-op. And been playing since January 2021, .......e.g. "your entire life" Word of advice; don't purchase lootboxes and expect useful stuff. If you're still around come Christmas/snowflakes-dusting you're can farm free containers and also super containers when WoWs birthday comes around (mid autumn if memory serves me well) but that requires tX ships in your fleet. And like @Klopirat said it was on the page you we're posting screendumps from. But you choose to either fly past it or outright ignore it because the 'i CaN gEt A fReE bOaT'-crave kicked in. Probably you said it best yourself in your response to @Bindolaf_Werebane's valid comment bout' being lucky that you got 15 and not just one camo: Bruh

@FeDsTeR187_1 my two cents for you: Stop you current co-op gaming and swing back to your t5 IJN DD in randoms. Take if from there. You're not in what some call protected matchmaking (mm) so you will end up in t5-t6-t7 battels. And those are gonna hurt. But t5-t6, pure t5 and the occasional (t3)-t4-t5 mm are gonna be much more rewarding for you. You will learn close to nothing more in co-op than you already have with close to 1000 coop battles under your belt. You need to adapt to facing off against "real" players. Otherwise down the road you'll be entering into a t7+ boat and with zero(!) comprehension of the utter devastation you gonna encounter now the opposition are real humanstm. FWIW @MementoMori_6030 I tend to think that @Profilus has a point with the aspect of dodging torps.

TL;DR: stop faffing around in co-op. Go play randoms instead, you meet real* opposition instead of meathead Russian AI bots. The daily 6-part chain goes like: 1.) 250 base xp in one(!) battle 2. ) 500 base xp, regardless of outcome (win, draw or defeat) 3+4+5+6.) The last four requires 1000, 1100, 1200 & 1300 base xp but only won battels are taken into account Co-op battels don't reward much xp, credits an such and seeing you have roughly 10x the amount of games played in co-op compared to random you need to focus on random instead of co-op. Yes, I know that some of the playerpool will shout at you for being a potato for startes, but truth be told this game is pretty sad and petty if only/primarily played in co-op. *) a worryingly significant portion of the player pool acts like they are either bots or drunk. Sometimes both.....

Genau!

Disclaimer; don't have Hayate but friends that do. They're not that impressed..... tl;dr save the xp. --- Having purchased both Smaaland and Somers (steel ikr) this winter I can say that I enjoy both boats* more than their so/so tech three counterparts (Halland & Gearing) Paolo Yolo and Vampire II are RB and Neystramyskewhatshername been turned into coal boat* could indicate Druid becomin' a freexp boat* - but thb likewise a steel monster, we dont know atm. Now; you don't state it but do you have Shima? If you do; is it a favorite? - Yes; do you need a carbon copy then? - No; are you sure a gimmicky boat* of the same kind are gonna work wonders for you? Given that Somers have been withdrawn from the market, could the upcoming Druid (RN tx DD) be of interest perhaps? --- I'd save em'. Perhaps you care to explain option two; "RB points for the Ohio" <-- what do you mean? *) Yeah. Boats, they are DDs so just for fun I call them little ones 'boats' xD

tl;dr no.

Having gone full DD over the last year so I'm pretty excited for this -- however; for the reasons @Trench4nt outlines, I'm gonna wait a few weeks or so to hopefully get some legit CC/YT reviews posted and then make a so/so informed decision. The "loop"-CV. Well it looks kinda funny and I have the coal, but got my eyes on Neystrameiswhatshername when I get my coupon around midsummer.

If - IF - this is implemented its gonna be interesting how many will suffer from a bad case of sunk cost fallacy. Srsly WG? Takin' every bit of skill from the game and going full yolo-arcade. Who, or perhaps how many, have asked you for this "feature"? Again - not impressed....

Auf wiedersehen Z-23. The credit comp I couldn't care for but the fact that you render a already power crept t8 DD into the rank of useless-lol-boats is a bit worrisome to say the least. 150mm guns was practically the one thing she got going for her. The perma camo we got from the anniversary containers has just become useless. Thanks guys /irony Tschüss......

Been sailing the digital seas of WoWs for a couple of years now thus commin' up on the possibility to acquire myself a boat (thinkin tX but its not a deal breaker) of steel --- but I'm unsure what to buy and if to buy? I.e. should I save the steel for a later occasion as in; the current steel ships a not exciting/good/rare/_W_ enough? A little context; I'm prob more of DD main but have all variety of boats atm. and for comparison I currently hold 3 DDs, (z52, Haru & Shima) 7 CL/CA (Moskva, Salem, DM, Mino, Henri, Zao & Hinden) & 4 BBs (Yama, Monty, GK & Kremlin) on tX I made a pass on the Smolensk earlier despite having the coal for it because of my animosity against it and I got Moskva when the CCCP lines was split but up until now it's not a ship I've been playing enough to evaluate if I like it or not. Tbh I'm looking at Stalingrad, perhaps with Kuznetsov as an added bonus, but I would like some input as to the combination. Regaining HP when you're scraping the seafloor so to speak with 10% left seems dicy at best so perhaps Kuznetsov is a pure Slava/Kremlin cmd? Shikishima & Bourgogne doesn't get my juices flowing also considering my current fleet. So perhaps better to save the steel? Inputs welcome - thanks in advance.

Bought it a roughly 1½ month ago - and oh my. What a wonderful (torp)dd. Certainly not without drawbacks and fault but a solid 8 or 9 out of 10 for me. Mostly the AA is appalling but the "smoke of doom" somewhat makes up for that.
