[NOCAP] OttoZander Players 329 posts 14,133 battles Report post #1 Posted June 28, 2018 I have completed every task in every mission of every campaign in the game. Every. Single. One. I like the completionist medals, it was fun finishing all of the challenges set by the WG. There is a single one I cannot complete though. Earn the most XP on your team, gain a victory, and receive 12 "Set on fire" or "Caused flooding" ribbons in a single battle. Tier IX-X Destroyers orAircraft Carriers only Random Battles only, US ships only. This one is a bit annoying. I cannot make this one work. I am not that fond of the Gearing, I also sold the Fletcher, so that's out the window. I attempted to complete it with my Midway instead multiple times. I find it that if I go around setting fires and flooding people my overall performance suffers and I constantly get position #3 (roughly) whereas I need to be #1, because my team is basically too good. If I strike with intent to kill and control a flank I can get into the #1 rather easy but I will fail to meet the 12 required fires or floods. On crucial flanks where I can claim kills and help to achieve victory the enemy there is already on fire in multiple places, and flood chances on a CV are rather low. Anyone out there who has this task done already? And how did you do it? I also believe that RnG Gods will have a big laugh at me and I will simply do this mission by sheer luck sometime in the soon future without even trying 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boris_MNE Moderator 1,548 posts 10,142 battles Report post #4 Posted June 28, 2018 Midway is the best for this hands down, now you just need to pray to find decent team to not be better than you xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NWP] 159Hunter Players 1,987 posts 12,916 battles Report post #5 Posted June 28, 2018 Darn, well in that case Midway is easiest for the floodings and fire ( but not now with all those new US CL ) but for being top XP.... I'd say stick to Gearing and hope for dumb opponents? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use dive bombers for battleships only so guaranteed 2 or 3 fires per drop... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NOCAP] OttoZander Players 329 posts 14,133 battles Report post #8 Posted June 28, 2018 I believe the main contributor to this problem is the campaign itself and the sheer increase in cruiser numbers because of it, never seen so many US AA and Radar vessels. And now with today's patch and the incoming Worcester this petty problem of mine will be prolonged even further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[UNICS] loppantorkel Players 3,284 posts 13,040 battles Report post #9 Posted June 28, 2018 I've been one fire away in the Gearing when all things lined up.... It's a very tricky mission to get done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dCK_Ad_Hominem Players 977 posts 5,029 battles Report post #10 Posted June 28, 2018 I'd just play gearing a lot. Don't even focus on the mission and you will get it done eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Note.. You do realise you don't have to do all the missions.. You can repeat ones you have already done. You will not get the reward again BUT YOU WILL GET THE STAR.

[NWP] Ubertron_X [NWP] Beta Tester 1,390 posts 12,879 battles Report post #16 Posted June 29, 2018 Yeah this kind of missions are not especially easy to do. Let's take a closer look: 1st requirement: Victory 2nd requirement: Most XP on your team 3rd requirement: 12 fires or flooding 4the requirement: Tier IX and X only 5th requirement: Destroyer or Aircraft Carriers only 6th requirement: US ships only 7th requirement: Random Battles only Thats right: You need to win a good to exceptional game, using restriced tier, class and nation (leaving at most 4 ships to do this in) in just one possible game mode and achieving a heavily RNG dependant result. Thank god I am no completionist, so I won't actively try missions like these even if I have/could have the ships in addition to being a decent player...

[PARAZ] El2aZeR Beta Tester 9,244 posts 14,972 battles Report post #17 Posted June 29, 2018 Don't fool yourself, this is a CV mission. You need to get ludicrously lucky to finish this in a DD. In a CV tho? Switched to HE bombs for one game in my Midway and finished it instantly. It's a laughably easy cakewalk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NWP] Negativvv [NWP] Players 8,241 posts 11,737 battles Report post #22 Posted July 4, 2018 Other than that guy who got extremely lucky with torp floods, this mission looks nigh on impossible in USN DDs of which you only have the Fletcher, Gearing and Black to choose from. Take this game for instance, it's probably fairly hard to carry harder than I've done yet I've only got 8 fires and floods from 4 torp hits and 372 shell hits. 123k and a Kraken so I really did get stuck into the enemy...
