Air Supply premium container?

[Zigiran]

According to the patch notes, there should be an "Air supply premium container" in the premium shop. But I can not find it there.

 

Am I missing something or is it not available?

[Ulbricht]

They are not there yet, maybe later today or tomorrow

[ilhilh]

It is part of the fly strike win event that has yet to start.  As soon as that does you will likely see the containers in the shop.

on a patch day the first directive usually begins slightly later than on other days, I think at 10:00

Couple of things that might be holding them back is the 2 new ships they have on sale, they might not want the containers to take away from the selling of them.

Ah, my bad then.   I guess they are not in the shop yet... because WG.

Generally, new items in premium shop are released on Friday mornings.

AFAIK you can only get florins or whatever bs currency it is now and buy yourself CV from the arsenal that way

of course no CVs, but missions for four other ships can be found in those containers

These prem boxes are the worst deal so far, compared to the previous events. Wallet is firmly closed.

Previous events had two collection pieces per prem box for a start, made it fairly exonomical for people interested in the collections but not the event missions.

 

5 for £11.00 and all you get is flags and a "chance" for a prem, all but the Exeter being very old now.

 

The DD event gave a chance for the mid tier boats, I got the T6, T7 and T8 DDs by investing in boxes to do the collection. This was the boats out of the box bot grindy missions.

If you want to generate all florins from them you need to buy the 40 air drop package for about 80 €. This is no guarantee for the Tier 8 CV, since you also need crowns. If you do not solve the daily missions, you can buy 50 crowns for 2.000 dubloons, which is a ridiculous high prize.

Yes, you get a lot of side stuff with drops, but: You are actually paying for an early access to a completely unbalanced ship class with the current "benefit" of being called "op" or "superior to other CVs" knowing they will be nerfed / fixed later.

And the chances for the ship missions are ridiculously small in addition as we already know from christmas event.

This event should not be supported at all, since the ones who do gladly accept being testers on live servers, paying real money for a regular tech tree ship class.

Tests should be f*****g made on test servers properly.

I for one had some "disposable cash" allocated for this whole event(s) and in it was still room for 5 boxes at these prices and thats what i just bought after this no more larger spending for the forseable future, so what I get I get, I might possibly buy 1 more or something like that later on if it happens to be just what i lack to get t8 cv or complete collection but not much more

Agreed. We'll see how those CVs go, anyway we'll get them later in tech tree.

I did use the test server, and I can see why that wasn't possible. 

[fallenkezef]

The cv rework goes to the heart of it. While I support the concept, the rework will take months to balance.

 

The event is rushed and for an unfinished aspect of the game. I wont pay a fortune for silver ships I can grind when the rework is donee
