Have you been talking to @lup3s and @VenividiviciNL, that's my speciality in the division!

Its all random operation now, so not possible. Also WG changed the behaviour of bots appears in port late game, they start firing as soon as they spawn, so no more rushing them with torps while they don't shoot you. You get less XP for playing T6 and T7 ships in operations now Vs T8. So this is not a good operations ship, Leningrad is better IMO.

That's why WG is making resources harder to come by for new players, then dangle this kind of events in front of these players, and some will be willing to open their wallet to get something they use to obtain much easier without spending money. Older players with resources like us don't care, but this is like a sweet shop for hungry newer players.

Same here, WG testing department: why waste time testing, just tick it off as PASS, and spend the time drinking Vodka! Also the new Tashkent 39 costs 166,000 coal if you using coal conversion. Blyskawica at the same tier only costs 51,000 coal. WG is asking Flint money for her, a past steel ship! Just say "NO" people, WG is trying their hardest to drain all the resources you spent valuable time and money to accumulate.

Fenyang of course! No really, it’s fun with heavy AP skill.

Why are you guys complaining, you can get T8 or T9 techtree ships from early access with 0 game played. 50 games at T8 is more than enough to get a feel how that line plays. Also I don't understand why people reroll account. I'm better than my account stats shows as I have improved over the last 2 years, but the account WR is increasing slower due to those games I played badly at the start. If I reroll my account, sure my initial stats will be better, but it's unlikely to improve much after that, so likely leads me to become frustrated. Not that matters as I stopped playing PvP.

You can get most if not all of them in the Armoury for 1K coal I belive. Also you can get CT from Twitch, 250 for watching WG stream, 400 for an easy mission. Both takes 1:30hrs in total. You can get 100 more if you watch 4 hours of wows. So that's 650 CT per week, 2600 CT per month from having wows playing in the background for 1:30hr a week. I don't see why we should pay real money, no matter how small for 1500 CT a month again?

Co op takes 4 to 6 mins to complete, and 500 basic XP is top of what you can expect if all or most of teams are real players. 2 mins just to get in range. 700 basic XP in co op happens around 5% to 10% of the time, and definitely takes longer than 2.5 mins, likely close to 10 mins.

We could try it out if there are enough of us, we all take low concealment DD and cruisers, start the battle, drop smoke, reverse and see what happens.

So no one received the mission chain yet? I have already cancelled my membership to WG.

For a second, I was thinking you were taking about me in my gun build Asashio! But it was the B version in that game if I remember correctly. The torpedo aiming guide line is actually different if you aim at a cruiser or destroyer, there is also a X mark on top like when you aiming at a submarine you can't hit. But I will try to torpedo a cruisers or DD in my Asashio later, wants to see if the bot reacts and try to dodge.

Well, by staying near where the bot dropped the smoke, you have boardside of those cruisers from 2nd waves, also a DD can torp them. Once you killed them, you can move up north and you will then have boardside of the cruisers escorting transport. Then one ship with good torpedoes can move to the island up north near the boarder to torp the 2 BB shows up once all the cruisers escorting the transports are killed. By going south, you only have bow in ships to shoot, its much more difficult and takes longer. Also this means the transports have longer to travel to the exit and likely not all of them will make it, so it much more difficult to obtain 5 stars by going south.

Don't matter that much, most players don't want to get hit, so they move to the southern island and can't fire at the cruisers from 2nd waves. So those IJN cruises will kill ships remained near the smoke and the operation fails due to not enough fire power left. Happened to me in the Massachusetts, burned down while bow in to those cruisers, even with short heal cool down and flags mounted. Just can't tank them if the team don't take them down ASAP. The bot smoke sooner or later makes very little difference to the successful outcome of that operation. I played enough Aegis with division of good players, CV spotting sooner made no difference.

Ha, at first I thought you were talking about me, deservedly so, considering my poor Kagero games last night, sunk within 5 mins due to my missplay. Just have to play operations in division if you want to use boosters. You are likely to end up with better players, and me of course! Otherwise you find yourself together with mostly new and inexperienced players need to be carried even harder than me!

As fillers for crap-sandwich, AKA super containers and loot boxes.

There are people willing to throw money at WG for those new rewards! "sweet thx wargaming" is a comment by one person, probably works in WG building.

To complete this collection, also 500 doubloons and 1 million credits for £0.99 is a good deal to me. But no more, I'm unsubscribing, unfollowing and unlinking my YouTube account with WG. Have to pay and play more games to get 1500 community tokens, shameful money grab attempt by WG. "In gratitude for your support and participation in YouTube Memberships on our channel, we've prepared a surprise! In May," And this is how WG showing us their "gratitude"? Can't wait to see the "gratitude" and "surprise" WG planned for the anniversary and New Year events!!

I already know I'm a foolish person lol! It seems a downgrade to me even if the rewards remains the same. As the old rewards came in a container without extra time needed to play for them. Still, strange WG is asking people for money without listing exactly what will be given out.

Still don't tell me what I get for completing the mission chain, it could be just 1 credit to a 1000 steel.

Please accept my apologies for the misunderstanding. I have played more co op than random and ranked combined. I find co op much more relaxing, and if someone says at start of the battle they need a kill, or fires for a mission, I'm happy to leave that flank to them, the game finishs so quickly, so it dont matter that much. I do find funny when I get reported in co op just minding my own business. why dont you come and join us on Discord or ingame playing operations. You can finish the BB commander XP mission much quicker. We are a happy bunch that can easily finish operations with 5 stars most of the time. Don't worry, if they can carry me to 5 stars, you will be more than good enough. Plus its much less stressful than playing random.

Paid actors of course mate! The only lose was my fault, poked my nose too far past an island and slammed into a pack of torpedoes!

CO OP is quick and guaranteed win, 300 to 500 basic XP every 5 mins, vs 12 mins to 15 mins for an average random game that requires more mental effort. WG is not going to reward both mode the same. We all have life outside this game, what makes you so special that the dockyard grind don't apply to you? Either spend the time to grind tokens or spend real money buying stages to skip the grind. Or skip the dockyard event all together, but please stop complaining like a spoiled child here. The game modes, co op, operations, random and ranked are open to all players. Just because you don't wish to play PvP, that don't give you the right to complain PvP players playing co op. Image, we found a supercilious co op player, looking down on PvP players playing the same mode! Ain't you the one been "toxic"? I bet you are one of those players reporting others in co op mode too!

Why do you need to have a commander on every ship you have in port? I like to collect all the ships, bit will not play 80% to 90 % of them. Are you going to play all those ships in PvP on regular bases for the need of a 10 pt commander? I'd prefer a nice cool beer than buying commanders to put on ships I'm unlikely to play.

Can find them in armoury or premium shop, maybe it's only available to suckers, AKA new players?

Can't you just get a commander with credits and use elite commander XP to train to 10 points? The amount of XP needed to reach 10 points is very small compared to moving up past that point all way upto 21 points.
