I wanna say "none" Currently having the following WITH UU: Z52, Mino, Zao, Henri 4, Monty, GK and Yama and the following WITHOUT UU: Yueyang, Shima, Haru, Hindy, DM, Worcester & Kremlin I'll say they are not worth it anymore, they have been nerfed to death* imho All of the aforementioned UU were obtained under the old regime (a 5x chain mission one the specific ship) and when they nerfed the existing UU (yeah I got screwed with my pants on) and introduced the new RB-way of gettin' em I kindda dialed out of tX. To the extend possible I wanna limit my exposure to WGs mood in respect to "here's a new regime that totally wreck havoc on all the time you've spent so far"-debacle. So I'm not really playing tX for precisely that reason. Turning my attention to the thread at hand I concur: If you insist go for the Grozo with your current fleet. All the others are not worth it anymore. However consider this: RB points are now "easier" (alright: less of a hassle) to obtain so perhaps reset two lines during '21 with the 2x bonus at get yourself a RB-boat instead? My two cents *) and the keen eye will notice that the Russian bias is well and alive......

"(...)Belfast, Enterprise....Missouri(...)" If you're not having a laugh you should consider letting your wife picking the powerball numbers......

Sooo......yeah - I bought a stack of big containers at the not-at-all rigged WG-lottery and sure enough I got the obligatory Vanguard amongst others. Then I got a SC-reroll. And, well - I got so jittery that I totally forgot a proper screenshot and thus only are able to provide you with this shabby picture of the screen itself from my phone xD I'll show myself out.....

This! It took me just shy of 15 battels over the holidays to move from bronze R1 to the silver-league. Admittedly I found myself shouting at my screen a few times because of the odd cruiser camping in spawn, torp-DD insisting on only using AP-shells and such. But a whole u should consider what @159Hunter says in the quoted text above.

I'm hesitant, but i wanna say yes, I like it - with a few caveats. Disclaimer: Yes my stats are hidden, no I'm not gonna reveal em'. If that devaluates my input in your opinion then just skip this post. A little context - been sailing for ~2½ year and highest rank I've achieved in previous seasons has been 7 (6 perhaps?) I cannot remember. My main challenge has been me lack of (s)kills (doh) but also the aforementioned seasons of ranked have been scheduled at times when I've been unable to immerse me in the ranked game and give it a go. Therefor I've never really dabbled in more then mid-tier games skill-wise. All of this to qualify my points below Positives: - Bronze rank 1 should be achievable for everyone with say roughly ~500 games and ships they are accustomed to. This will provide most players with the satisfaction of steel, doubloons etc. - The prerequisite for qualification, i.e. 4 straight wins to next tier (bronze -> Silver) is a bit more tricky but certainly within range. Again a kind of "hidden" threshold one need to overcome. - The three different tiers should to some extend serve as a mechanism to place players at the skill level where they belong.... Negatives: - ......however because of this, the initial first week of rank-testing has been very different from game to game. Some games both teams show skills and cunning that translates into glorious victories or horribly defeats. But worth it. But on the other hand also several of us have had games where we either have been steamrolled full on - or been driving the steamroller. Due to the astonishing lack of game sense, ship roles etc. on either your own or the opponents team. - Having qualified to silver and not expecting nor aiming to enter into gold I look forward to 5x1 week of ranking - at the same time not looking forward to the repeat of "bronze" week once the next season of ranked is lunched. Earlier in the thread a suggestion was made to improve gameplay by implementing a wider scale of how stars are awarded or stars are lost. However is was also pointed out that for those of the playerpool that seeks to exploit this would be no prob at all, i.e. enter the game in a "fire monster" and just HE-farm Not sure what the solution is - if there is a better solution than the already implemented. My only worry is that the (ranked)servers are cramped with eager players in the "bronze-week" to escape potato-hell and slip into the fields of silver leaving the lesser skilled/experienced/more afk playerpool to play bronze. - I'll throw in thoughts to this post in a few weeks when I've been sailing silver -

Began reading at "combat mission" just below this. Jeeez - thank you (now off to bed!)

Just got Yahagi in a tX snowflake santa crate. Will this then mean a sort of compensation when I complete the stage that would otherwise have granted my this boat? Read the news page twice and I cannot see anything adressing that.

Navek battle can be activated through a web browser: https://clans.worldofwarships.eu/clan-wars/war .....not for nothing; but you're a beta tester and not aware of this?

Tried - this happens (and I'm able to run the game otherwise just w/o access to armoury, contacts, navalbattels etc.): I'll just wait until you lot give us an indication as how to solve it - the (virtual)seas can wait (-:

Still the same. Naval battles, Armoury, News are stuck on infinite-loop mode. I've for one tried to run the integrity check (using Steam) no change. Tried to login with a friends account. The same alas it dosnt seems to be account-related? Also; if - erhm *cough* when - such an error occurs again where/how would you like the error reporting? I by this I dont mean to issue a support ticket, but rather for the forum to see. Yesterday and erlier this morning prior to your post there was a good handfull of posts on the forum all relating to the same issue. Could you prodvide some guidance as to how you would like suce a post to read and/or be structured? 1. so the majority of the forumites sees it and 2. so that you have (so/so) a single point of input on whatever the error might be. Thanks in advance.

Where did you see this? I've not been able to find anything.....

......I just had a fiddle around with it on the PT-server. Oh my, what a cluster-f*** ......It's for all of em' right? (omg, the money grab are reaching unseen hights) On topic: well during christmas-lockdown I'll get a bit more steel and a handful of santa l00tboxes. The t9 IJN paper boat? I'll pass, thank you.

Did the same and therefore I expected roughly 800k from lvl 19 to lvl 21 (as stated in other posts) But as a lot have pointed out: WG seems to have taken completely leave of their senses this time around.....

No need. Could be read either way - all good. Just a case of the forumites are a bit hot headed atm cauz of this cluster f*** xD

"Pleb". Really? Well - that escalated quickly.....? I fully comprehend that the numbers I suggested are at the lower end of the spectrum if you take into account only so called veteran players. However it was only to paint a picture for illustrations. If i look to myself its ~25 commanders at lvl 19 so I'm well aware of the actural cost for parts of the playerbase are gonna be hell of a grind. .

https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/107 Fourth paragraph ("How much XP is needed to level up a commander from 19 to 21 skill points?")

"It will require 1,200,000 XP. Yes, it is a new stage of growth(...)" - You think?!? If you sail under premium conditions (pun) with all the whistles & bells on, you can crank out perhaps 25k cmd exp/game. That translates roughly into 50 played (and good!) games. For each commander you want to level from 19 to 21. "In order to let you comfortably try out different builds during Update 0.10.0: (...) The cost of commander retraining will be lowered by 90% — from 500 to 50 doubloons." - Sure. But almost free is not the same as free. Say you hold 50 ships (probably not unreasonable) ~ 2500 doubloons. Even with the 1100 you can grind *sigh* it' still 1400. Looks like its time to join the "WG-bashing" bandwagon...... We're. No. Impressed. With. U. Lot.

Random signals, random camos and....*drumroll* Neat. Ill take it!

I would like to partake in the lottery draw. Thank you and marry christmas & a happy new year! Also: IG name same as forum

"Russian Geographical Society’s Underwater Research Center" Aka the lot who found the remains of Smolensk, Slava and Khabarovsk.....on the bottom of a imaginary battlefield at the Barents Sea?

And why? Mostly this is out of curiosity. And perhaps get insights as to now a small engagements could pan out. - Would you go for a gunboat or a torp dd? Smoke or speed? - Cruiser with brawler potential? Or the artificial 12k CCCP radar? A smokin' cruiser? - Sniper BB? A HE-monster spammer? Perhaps a KM in-ya-face Pommeren? Lets have it. (if ppl are not way to pissed cauz of #santagate to entertain this thread ofc)

Before even being aware of this I decided to go for 8 mega crates. Worst case scenario i would end up with signals and/or camos. Not having purchased in a while I thought to my self lets give a go and see what's what. Duca d'Aosta & Yūdachi was already in my port. The other two not. I got Vanguard directly in 4 or 5 container and then a SC reroll that provided Cossack so it somewhat seems that this hypothesis is plausible.

My plan is to blow ~3,5m* elite cmd xp to move 4 of 16 lvl 19 commanders from lvl 19 to lvl 21. The four commanders are carefully planned as to be able to switch between premium and researchable boats. As well as being able to steer several so/so similar ships within the same nation-techtree. *) I expect that its gonna cost roughly ~ 375k for lvl 19->20 and ~500k for lvl 20->21, but admittedly this could be an understatement

"Commanders with less than the maximum number of skill points (<21) will earn additional Elite Commander XP equivalent to 5% of the received commander XP." - How much commander xp will be needed to climb from 19 to 21? I'm expecting ~700.000 xp based on the current ladder but I could be massive under or overestimating this. Would you be able to shred a light on this so we are able to adjust our grind for elite commander xp accordingly?

*DISCLAIMER* NOT ASKIN' FOR SMOLENSK BACK xD Well, the topic says it all really. After been sailing the virtual seas for 2+ years now several non-researchable ships that was available when I began playing (i.e. Musashi and Kronshtadt to name two) are still MIA so to speak. Would these ships make an appearance again at some time? Or do one have to commit when/if any interesting boat becomes available? Asking out of curiosity and because this new post on the DB made me remember my pondering on this question: I fully grasp that the mods would like to keep the diversity of boats high thus only offering the non-researchable boats for a limited amount of time. On the other hand a lot of us (I presume, don't have hard data admittedly) have a life besides WoWs and therefor were not able to grind each and every day to day to gain RB-points, coal, steel, free exp etc So not asking if the aforementioned boats specifically makes a reappearance but rather if boats previously offered could make a second coming? And as a purchase for resources (coal, steel, free exp, RB-points etc.) not as a random RNG-lottery ticket. Also not expecting monster balans.exe fails like Belfast (t7), Smolensk etc. to be reintroduced. Prior to posting this topic I did search the forum but wasn't able to find anything that covers this - but I might be mistaken. Thanks in advance.
