[BHSFL] Beastofwar [BHSFL] Players 4,596 posts Report post #1 Posted March 22, 2019 Achievements just happen, i never go for them. I have no idea how difficult or easy 7 achievements is, or how much time it will take. Which ones can you actually achieve with effort, and will succeed with some probability ? I bagged me the first one in the second match i played today - first blood - but that too was completely not intentional, just happend. Tried to burn down as many enemies as i could, for the weekly missions but that didn't yield anything but completing the mission. I feel this is somewhat out of my control, and very luck based. Or is it not ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,855 battles Report post #2 Posted March 22, 2019 First blood and Dev strike, generally. Icarus or Jervis should be a good source of those. Close Quarters expert should be easy enough to get with a BB - presuming you get near the target with all those frantic DDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[KAKE] Uglesett Players 2,804 posts 6,795 battles Report post #3 Posted March 22, 2019 If you're half decent with DDs, devastating strike shouldn't be too difficult. And if you're fond of yoloing you might even combine it with "It's just a flesh wound" and "First blood". Higher tier BBs can farm Dreadnoughts like nobody's business, and Edinburgh can get a lot of these as well due to the super heal. Fiji if played well is a beast, especially if she's top tier, and getting achievements like Confederate happens surprisingly often in her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OM] belalugosisdead Players 1,038 posts 30,703 battles Report post #4 Posted March 22, 2019 I think ist easiest to give some of the BBs with Stronger Heal a Chance. Dreadnought or fire proved are relative easy..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PVEF] Castor_Tyndarides Players 19 posts 6,307 battles Report post #8 Posted March 22, 2019 Die Hard in Edinburgh and DoY. Ram the DDs with the cruisers and ram everything with the BBs. Also CQE with the BBs. If you really want your team to hate you go full yolo with a DD and hope for First strike/Detonation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[H_FAN] Gnirf Players 3,293 posts 67,362 battles Report post #11 Posted March 22, 2019 I agree that Dreadnoughts /Fire proof in a BB is the best if you have them. A cofederate in a BB might also be possible in the firespewing ships if the game develops well so you can fire at muliple targets and set them on fire/blapp them. I have some Confeds in my KGV/Warspite, in Warspite I go for AP only but mixes in the KGV. Fortunately I can use all RN ships as they are in my port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BBMM] BLUB__BLUB [BBMM] Players 8,818 posts 17,199 battles Report post #12 Posted March 22, 2019 It's "chore work" so I'll not do randoms for those. Co-op it is. Taking leander and Fiji should not be too hard to find the other Leander/Fiji and go for some citadels. Some games I manage 3 or 4... and a devr strike/first blood on a DD. OK this kind of YOLO also might result in 'detonation'... but that's OK as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PEZ] Yedwy Players 11,301 posts 39,586 battles Report post #16 Posted March 22, 2019 Trouble with all those "accidental" achievments (first blood, flesh wound, detonation and similar that happen in only wery limited set of circumatances) is consistency of getting them, it might take you 2 battles to get enough through using them or 200 and that is rather troubling imho, better to go for arsoniast, witherer and similar for whitch you can plan and force them out, devstrike os sort of half way, i mean you can sort of aim twards it so you try to max impact of every salvo (well you should be doing that in bbs anyway i guess) but will it trigger devstrike or not in the end is an entirely random thing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I almost got a devastating strike, but too bad someone else was shooting it too and killed it before the last torpedo of the salvo that should have done it struck......that kind of thing. But nothing to do then play a lot of matches, doing the best you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[FABER] Bics93 [FABER] Players 617 posts 6,307 battles Report post #18 Posted March 22, 2019 Go for Nelson and just spam HE like a potato, then flee to save the ship at the end of the battle for: - Dreadnought; - Fireproof; - Arsionist; - Witherer. Occasional DevStrike or Confederate/High Caliber won’t be difficult if you’re a good BB player that knows when switch to AP on British BBs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
