It's the REWARDS tab on the left hand side. That will list what ships that still have a snowflake on them. You can then select which ones you want to claim the reward on, without playing them.

Change your name to LeaveMeAloneDD and you might get a Benham.

I wouldn't go that far.

Some, maybe. But I don't remember seeing so many. I have given up on the new UI layout and ALT-TAB to a browser showing the page instead. Far quicker and way more convenient. Your clan's Naval Battle.

Anyone could see this happening a mile away. It'll be interesting to see next week (when it'll probably be a regular [CLAN] vs [CLAN] Naval battle) as to how many are nil-nil draws or walk-overs. 30 clans in our group who have yet to score.

Or T7 & T8 premiums, with economic bonuses, in Scenarios. Outcome maybe more reliable than result of a random match.

I found the newer BCs (Renown, Duncan etc) not too bad in co-op. It was the last stage of the regular BBs that drove me up the wall. T6 Andrea Doria seemed OK. But then most mid tier tech tree BBs have wonky dispersion or weird overpen-or-bounce-but-rarely-penetrate shell characteristics (I'm looking at you, Fuso). So, AD doesn't stand out from the rest as particularly bad. I ground through T7 Caracciolo, as I had the perma camo bonus for it, but it was tedious. Did a bit with T8 Veneto but didn't see an improvement over the T7. FreeXP'd the rest of the line in the interest of preserving what's left of my sanity. Once you get to T8 N. Carolina that line gets really good. It's the getting there, with T7 Colorado, that is the issue. First BB line I completed, IIRC.

I actually had some good matches with the tech tree T10s that I haven't played in a while.

Co-op only. Farm gift certs (and reward tokens) by running down my tech tree T10s (and Annapolis), that have no economic bonus, while I still had a few hours of premium time left to maximize credits (or minimize the loss in the case of the latter). Then play T10s that do have a perma bonus (premiums, freemiums & tech tree) to farm the remaining gift certs :- even without a premium account I can still make a tidy profit. Use reward tokens to knock off snowflakes from the three T6 CVs that were eligible, the few T11s (so I don't haemorrhage credits) and the T8s & T9s that I don't like (eg HMS Lion, Donskoi, Veneto, Haarlem etc) so that I don't have to play those. Generally now just picking a snowflake ship at random now and use the reward tokens to knock off snowflakes from tech tree ships that don't have a commander. I'm now down to about 84 snowflakes from a fleet of ~220 ships.

True, and the quickest (and easiest) way to do it. yeah, about that. Have you seen how many reports get flung about in co-op? Player base is a lot saltier since subs were introduced, even if you never play the damn things.

Same here. Agreed.

Apparently @Europizza has proved he's not playing the same game has himself.

Conqueror.cpp while (ship.health -= opponent.damage) { ship.health += ship.heal; }

Actually, could I suggest an enhancement to that list? How about an indication of whether a ship has a commander. That would be useful to highlight tech tree ships that would be a prime candidate to claim the reward on, without taking it into battle.

Yup, that's a rough haul - even I got one ship (T5 Viribus Unitis) from that many mega crates. A wise policy. It could be worse - it could be a sub.

I get the same problem as @Tigerbread where all music (in battle & port) stops after playing a few battles. Restarting the game client does work around the problem, but it's a bit of a fudge. Also, could we have an option to play a port's music when you return back to port? Eg: Result screens : victory/defeat soundtrack Back to port : port sound track Some ports, such as Kure, have really nice music and it would be nice to hear that after a battle instead of the victory/defeat music.

Same here (though Hill was last year). I've less need to use coal for economic bonuses as there's not many tech tree ships left for me to unlock. So, I've been on a bit of a coal ship spending spree Lazo Duke of York Rio with the intention of using the coupon for Bourgogne tomorrow. Problem now is the only coal ships left in the armoury are the good ones - the cheapest being Flint.

This one?

From 7 Mega + 1 Big + 2 regular gift crate 12.5k coal + 2.5k doubloons. The rest were economic bonuses. 400k credits + 25 camos from the regular crates.

No, I didn't try as I intend to claim the reward by playing Fletcher - she's a nice little ship and I have the Five Epochs camo/bonus on it. I assumed it was just a rendering glitch as I'm not able to replicate it, but I don't have as many rewards now. When it happened I had around, IIRC, a dozen or so Festive Rewards. I deselected the top ones that had pre-selected by default, and searched for my least favourite ships - Dm Donsk & HMS Lion. After scrolling around I noticed Fletcher in there twice.

It's not a good change though. It's actually now more convenient to ALT-TAB between a browser with https://clans.worldofwarships.eu/clan-wars/war instead of (attempting) to use the in-game UI.

So if I claim the rewards on my Fletcher, do I get 150 Steel?

Agreed. I wonder how many of this week's NBs are going to be somewhat one-sided?

Naval Battles were always available there, but they were also shown on the LHS when they were active. Now they are ONLY available via the [CLAN] tab. A very retrograde step IMHO.
