[SWD] Naveey Players 144 posts 20,370 battles Report post #1 Posted April 4, 2019 I have amassed loads of coal in the hope that WG would put a good selection of ships in the Arsenal that could be got for coal but the only decent ones that are there are Salem & Jean Bart which I don't want. Yes, there are other ships but they need doubloons to get them and I'm not parting with money to WG until they fix the crap that's been dogging this game for months now (if they ever do?) Signals I have load of, so don't need them - so what's the point of coal? - I thought a while back WG said they would be introducing more ships for coal - now its the usual WG greed I suppose as they don't really get any money if you get ships for coal. 1 2 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you do not like the selection of items to be bought or lack the patience to wait for a better selection, then that is your personal problem. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-AP-] thiextar Players 3,503 posts 9,933 battles Report post #3 Posted April 4, 2019 Maybe you havent considered that a lot of other people want to buy those ships that you personally dont want? Or special upgrades, or flags, or special commanders etc etc. What even is this thread? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ICI] Linkaex [ICI] Players 817 posts 4,619 battles Report post #4 Posted April 4, 2019 Just wait until the next rotation for ships, there might be something you do like. If not you can buy tons of signals, camos and upgrades for your favorite ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BONI] MoveZig Players 1,622 posts 20,823 battles Report post #7 Posted April 4, 2019 Yoshino will be coal, maybe also Benham. It better be coal and not steel like Black and Neustrashimy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ADRIA] MMASK [ADRIA] Players 187 posts 9,877 battles Report post #9 Posted April 4, 2019 For coal: You can buy signals flags for speed, detonation and others if need be, so never to run out of them. You can buy camos that give nice bonuses, so never to run out of camos. You can buy upgrades like radar duration mod, AA duration mod, spotter plane duration mod etc. You can get captains with some nice perks. Free high tier ships (JB & Salem & Yoshino). What more could you want? Do you remember the times you could not buy signals? Do you remember times when for special upgrades like radar duration mod you had to pray to RNG when opening SC? Playerbase really gets spoilt easily. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CptBarney Players 8,127 posts 245 battles Report post #10 Posted April 4, 2019 Quick Q: is the jean bart a good money maker or does it lose creds like a regular tier 9? I'm not familiar at all with some of the premiums in this game (i have none atm ;-;), but either way i want one since then i can train my captain for the french captain line. also heard mister salem is a good money maker, but im guessing jean bartenus is the better choice of the two.

I don't have either yet (head is telling me to get Jean Bart, whereas heart says Salem), but the LWM review might be worth a look: https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/171986-premium-ship-review-111-jean-bart/ It does pre-date the rework though. Short version: she rates JB's credit making on a par with Musashi, and Kron... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
