This one sounds familiar, I'm sure someone else suggested this last year. It's a nice idea for us - I'd like to premiumize quite a few of my T6 & T7 ships I use in scenarios. But I think it was pointed out that it would probably put a dent in the sales of premium ships. Eg, why buy Salem if you can premiumize Des Moines?

Same here, mainly for the super-container mission. Ditto. Now that Annapolis is now a tech tree ship I missed not having Halsey on board, mainly for the enhanced ammo switch skill. There are the special, rather than unique, USN commanders ( the Doe brothers ) you can buy for doubloons and coal in the Armory and they the same enhanced skills, but not Halsey's talents of course. Me being a bit tight I just put a spare mid-level captain in command of Annapolis and sponged around in co-op to get the super container. No way would I retrain my 21pt Halsey to Annapolis and then have to retrain him back to Des Moines (which I prefer). Elite commander XP is just far too valuable, especially for a co-op main like myself. From what I've heard about World of Tanks, their crews remember the tanks they have previously manned, so going back to a vehicle they used to drive is free. It's a shame WoWS didn't adopt this same method.

What are the credit earnings like for someone who knows what they're doing in randoms?

Narai + Weimar + Gunther Lutjens = 5 stars + Major Contribution No 4

Greatest achievement of today? Not going broke in co-op while grinding out the 50000 BaseXP in superships for the super-container. The Zulu (+20% credits) signal made the difference there. Edit: Also the 50k mission reward might have had something to do with it, do'h My highest ever BaseXP score in co-op, FWIW. Using alternate fire mode (with AP) on the bot carrier at the end was funny though.

First resource crate of the day .... ... followed by the SC from the 50000 BaseXP supership mission

ModStation does that too. Problem with ModStatiion is there seems to be some bugged network code which frequently throw up bogus "network unavailable" errors. Switching from your normal network to a WiFi hotspot or using a VPN might help with that through.

Now there's a word. Is that the cross product of "fundamental" and "rudimentary"? In either case: You're correct.

To be fair, the zero credits earned / lost on these rentals is a bit of bait for the trap here, even though WG have stated that the T11 economy is going to be harsh. Given that you have to do well at T10 without economy perks (camo, signals, premium account) to make any reasonable amount of credits it doesn't bode well. All I can say is @tigermarnickfelh is be careful what you wish for, as tech tree superships are going to be quite expensive, especially for the free-to-play crowd, to enjoy.

* smugly looks at my 20 (tech tree) + 3 (prem/special) T10s that I've unlocked by playing co-op in just over two years *

Seem to be like buses. Nothing for a while then 3 turn up all at the same time.

Game client still refers to these tokens as "Portal Chips". See screenie after claiming the free ones from the Twitch Drop news article.

Noticeable by the absence is a mid-tier premium ship** around the half way through the construction process. ** previous dockyard events had Gorizia, Graf Spee, HMS Repulse etc as a half way rewards. Getting Repulse was the highlight, for me, of the last dockyard.

Yup, OP probably hasn't realized that yet as you earn, or should that be lose, zero credits while they are rented test ships.

That's the problem mate. If the guy in the enemy team's supership is really good, that isn't fair on your team. By having to grind up through the tech tree lines, you should hopefully gain the experience & techniques to play well at high tiers.

I'd be careful with comments like that, Hanna Barbera might take offence

First time taking HMS London into Killer Whale, which until now had sadly become a bit of a port queen. Result: 5 stars and a compliment. So thanks to all that recommended her on the Fun tier 6 premium ships for operations? thread.

Bad timing mate. You've definitely missed the (U) boat.

Hhhhm, wasn't Smolensk removed from sale for being too popular** or something? Surely that policy should apply to units an over-popular ship can do naff all about.

Good point. I also hadn't realized hydro had been nerfed against subs either so they can get that close without getting detected.

A bit of an exaggeration, but kinda true. WG: Over a statistically large number of samples, yes they are.

I guess the writing is on the wall from the game's intro movie. There's a sub there, but it's submerged of course.

With god-tier ASW from that helipad on the aft deck.

According to the Benson this is apparently "hacking" .... in co-op. So I'm now going to become a star of social medial, awww gosh ... the stardom. How will I cope with the fame!!? I'm guessing Plymouth's fire starting chance on its vast & overwhelming battery of secondary guns is sooo overpowered. And, for what's it's worth I was still waiting for the morning coffee to soak in hence the mediocre result.

Really? 2km? I didn't know that. Anyone got a link to the current rules for sub engagements? It seem like many players, myself included, are unaware of just how broken they are.
