Let's do some math! A complete line is about 600k free xp. That is about 24.000 doubloons. So that is about €80,- for 1 instant reset 6 resets needed to get the Colbert. So that is about €480,- for the Colbert. Or a few hunderd hours of grinding... Oh well, I just got 1 TX ship, so meh, I don't care about this. Maybe in 2 or 3 years I will get my 5th TX ship, but I'm pretty sure I will not reset a line then.

Well, if you would buy a T9 DD, then yes, people expect stuff from you. If you start playing at T2 with DD's... no, nobody expects anything at T2. So just start a DD line and learn it. Biggest lesson you need to learn is this: don't die. Seriously, if you learn how to stay alive for more then 5 minutes, you will be doing fine in most DD's.

Thanks for the info I did spot something pink on the ship, very small, could be a Koala? If so, I counted 11 of them.

I bought the Perth yesterday and I have been looking for some guides about it, but it all seems to be guides from 2016. And they are very outdated (5 rows of captain skills?) So, can anybody help me building my Perth? Consumables: I think the spotter plane > the fighter plane, since you want the extra range (12.8 km basic range)? Upgrades: 1: Improved spotter plane or main armament mod 1? 2: I guess the hydro mod? 3: Smoke mod 4: Stearing mod Captain build: I'm guessing something like: PT AR (or EM?) SI CE After that I'm not sure... I guess DE and LS?

Hmmm, that is the part that is putting me off: I can't use my Murmansk captain on the KK... So I would need to get a new captain for it. Going to be a while before I can get that to 19

Considering I like playing with the Omaha (and Marblehead / Murmansk), would Krasny Krym provide me with similair gameplay? Guns all around the ship, HE spamming, dodging BB shells at long range, dying the moment something hits me

Last weekend we could get the Texas for free and now we can spent money to buy.... wait for it... the Texas? Did somebody at WG think about that?

Thanks for the captains build! Am I correct with the upgrades for slot 2 and 3? And what should I take in slot 1?

That is "Last stand" on row 2, not "Preventative Maintenance". A tip here: it is not a race to reach tier 10. At this rate you will reach tier 10 with less then 500 battles played. This is not advisable. I would suggest you play some other lines. Mostly: play some DD's. Learn how they work, that will allow you to better counter play them in your cruisers and BB's. And get some other lines to tier 5 or 6, this will give you an idea how those lines play. There is no rush to reach tier 10. As you can see, I'm getting close to 2000 battles and so far I got only 1 tier 10. My second best line is at tier 8.

I noticed after a game in my shima that I had finished a campaign mission to take out turrets. Which was odd, since I didn't fire my guns in that match. Looking at the details, it turns out my single torp that hit the enemy Salem took out a turret and an AA gun.... How is this possible?

A couple of general tips when buying a premium ship: 1: Premium ships are often not better then tech tree ships (just a bit or a lot different), so do not expected to get an overpowered ship when you spent some money. 2: Don't buy higher tiers then you have in tech tree ships. If you have only played untill tier 5 and you buy a tier 9 ship... not going to end well. 3: Don't buy a class you are not familiar with. Starting to play DD's by buying a T7 DD is not going to end well. 4: Read LittleWhiteMouse's reviews for some hints before buying anything (some parts might be a bit outdated though): https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/117549-mouses-new-summary-of-premium-ships/ 5: Check some youtube video's about the premium you are considering to buy to see how it plays.

I like to practice more with BB's and I would like to do this at T5 (since that is the minimum tier for most events). So I'm wondering: what is your favorite T5 BB and why? Is it fast, tanky, good at surving/ damage dealing in T7 matches, etc, etc.

I went back to playing DD's since... I guess 0.8.4? So far, I'm doing fine in my Shima and in my smokeless Kagero. Just don't yolo into the cap at the start of the game, wait for the first flight to pass and after that, in my experience, most CV's focus on farming cruisers / BB's and don't really spot for DD's. They will only attack if: 1: they fly over you and spot you 2: if you try to solo hunt down the CV Note: this is based as a JP torpedo DD. I have not much experience in other DD's

People have an issue with the fact that you seemed to be focused on getting kills (in your first 2 posts in this topic). If you just started with "I'm playing the Fiji but the damage does seem low, do you have advice for a better ship" that would have started an entire different conversation then the current one. Actually, that is not correct With AR on my captain, my firepower will increase if you let me live with 50 hp

Very much enjoyed it! I also vote for having this more often.

Make no mistake: those 2 kills might have been extremely usefull for your team. It could have been the difference between a red battleship dying or it getting away with a sliver of health, heal up and then return to kill some of your cruisers. So killing ships with a sliver of health when they managed to get out of sight of your team's surface ships, is very good and helpfull. If it is fun or not, well, that is something else and I'm not sure if we can decide that for you. Also, somebody else mentioned: the UK RN CV's have the slowest planes and thus stay the longest in the AA. Which is bad since the latest patch. You might consider another carrier line to go for at the moment.

Question: do the rental ships count as different ships? Ie: the most played BB is the Yamato. Is that a combination of rental Yamato + normal Yamato or is it just the normal Yamato? And the same for Shima And I'm surprised, I expected the most played BB to be Kremlin and the cruiser to be Henry IV.

Kraken!

The only planes in coop are spotter planes. killing 100 of them.... dear lord

I dislike the plane kill missions a lot... really a lot Step 1: get in a game with a CV (can be skipped by being in a div with somebody playing a CV) Step 2: Pray that the CV actually comes for you, so you can get your kills. Step 2 is my biggest problem: I can't go hunt planes. They move at 200 knots, I move at 30 knots. I'm totally depends of the CV entering my AA bubble. If a mission says "get citadel hits", I can hunt cruisers and BB's... there is plenty of them and I can keep up with them. But planes? Such an rng-fest

No. I got a job, I can't play 10 hours per day.... I'm happy if I finish a single set of daily missions on a week day. Getting the second set done? Not going to happen. Yeah, I'm dissapointed by this as well. It is an insane grind to get the Benham and if you don't get it, you can buy some camo's or credits. That's all? Why not offer the perma camo's for ... 500 fuel or something? Or the captains? Or maybe legendary modules? Or.... something?

Interesting option, ribbons. This will make some ships more favorable then others. For the USA BB: Massachusetts or Georgia farm ribbons a lot easier then the other USA BB's?

Thanks for the info

I just bought myself a Texas and all the info I see is from pre 0.8. So I wonder how things are for the Texas now in 0.8.x. Modules: 1: I would guess aux mod1 to keep the AA alive (instead of the main arm mod 1 that the New York uses) 2: Dam con mod 1, same as all BB 3: AA gun mod 1: is it worth it (extra flak cloud) or should I go for something else? Captain: I have a 10 point captain in my New Mexico with 0 AA skills. Will he do fine on the Texas or should I get a dedicated AA specced captain for the Texas?

Well, on the very low ships it does not really matter that much. You don't spent a lot of time in T1 and T2 for example, so retraining a captain might take the same xp as you need to reach the next tier. But from T3 or T4: yes, do move up your captain.
