so, i have 30 hightier ships, which will net me around 400 rep.tokens, but there is no mention on where i get the other 1000 tokens from to buy the 3 packages.

i guess we will get them from missions and directives, but its not mentioned anywhere, just wanted to point that out.

My raw estimate is 1000 tokens... I guess keeping all ships have some advantage

[Ydoum]

What about new premiums/freexpemiums? The patchnotes did not mention them.

[The_Tipsy]

I am a DD main. Tier 9 DD's typically play better than the 10's. Instead of making the tier 10's better, they are nerfing the tier 9's Jutland and Chung mu. I am running out of worthwhile high tier DD's in the current Meta.

 

You nerfed the Yeuyang into the ground (almost never see it now) - which you were warned about, and only now are partially correcting. 

 

Very frustrating

[Yamashiro42]

Is the premium Le Terrible's hull going to be refitted to the new French DDs standard i.e. HP redistribution & less damage to already saturated parts? (I do not expect that to be done with Aigle as she has her smoke generator.)

[Tall_Toot]

A admitedly cursory glance at the new line in Wiki seems to show several different high tier flavours of Aigle.

 

High speed (in a straight line), difficult to use torps, and a huge reliance on the well timed use of consumables to make the most of anything. Oh, and visible from a low earth orbit.

 

Good luck to those like that sort of thing.

Did someone created a Symbol of France calculator similar to the one for snowflakes? 

Yup, made by the maker of the snowflakes one: https://frenchwhaling.in.fkn.space/

Early access to French destroyers, new seasons of Ranked and Clan Battles, balance changes, a new map, and much more!

Read it on the portal

Leave long range Hakuryu torps as it is! What kind of lame excuse to remove them because they are underperforming? This is bull**** in that case you need to remove half a ships because they are underperforming too. Some people likes using long range stealth build torps but that's probably the reason WG wants to remove them - not enough plane losses? So don't give a stupid excuse at least...

we have only chance to get 1400 token just flake event and early access ship missons  ?

it ll hard to get. reach  to fifth bundle almost impossible for many player allready.

Yeah, if I do not get at least one early access missions and buy few ships for around 100mil credits I have researched but not bought I have no chance. 

If I get 2 early access ship missions it will be a cake walk for me... But I guess not much players have 140+ ships in port. 

 

Just remember, Mogadore is silver T9 ship which will be available 4 weeks later to grind or skip.

Wait... Did you just say that gearing class has never existed?

No. its the buffing and adjusting ships and all those blue print ships that enter the game. If i get a ship i get it also because of the specs. And WG doing great [edited]the game up.

[MorgothBauglyr]

"The automatic collision alert system has been upgraded. Now, it will divert ships from islands more reliably, with manual control always being a priority"

---

The new system has trouble on autopilot with narrow spaces and tends to beach even when the waypoints are carefully set. Before the update the autopilot would follow the path marked in red with no problems. Now it seems to try to stay a certain distance away from all islands, failing horribly when there is not enough room to either side. Once the autopilot is between two islands it will successively steer hard left and right and by doing so is unable to maneuver effectively to the next waypoint, i.e. the system to keep distance from islands has priority over the system to aim for the next waypoint.


There might also be a problem with the symbols of france, the 10 tokens for my first win were not added to the inventory. The 10 tokens for the second win however were added.

[The_Gathering]

- get your first wins for dbs and coal

- finish the directives (they are relatively easy)

 

-> spend your Rep tokens on bundles 1-4/French camos - whatever you want.

 

Do NOT spend doubloons on the 5th bundle.

Spending dbs to get early access to a silver ship is a terrible, terrible, terrible idea. One of the worst ideas the wows devs have ever come up with.

[Afghanicus]

You know what WOWs needs?

 

More premium containers.

 

 

P.S. Not hating, I'm not even playing this event... letting it pass completely. If WOWs continues in this direction an uninstall will be the only viable option.

I'm 110% with you!!! They s... up  big time nerfing the Haku rather than improving it because they probably dont like iChase's area denial tactic.

Fine!!! We won't do it anymore WG. Porblem is, the difference between Saiun and Tenrei mod.7 torps is barely noticeable.

Now we have torp bombers down to waves of 2 with a 12 planes squadron. For a total of 6 drops/passages.

I'm not going to do 6 passages, I'm gonna lose 6 planes at once. Well done WG!!

Nerfing the Midway too in the near future?

As far I'm concerned now also my Haku, along other CVs, will spend more time in dry dock. So much for the CV Rework!!

 

The day they will manage to balance everything to have us play it the way they want to without offering some edges to be spoiled by the more attentive and passionate players, is the day this game will be doomed.

 

PS: the autopilot now sucks even more....

 

[AlwaysBadLuckWithTeams]

When can we expect the "ultimate reward" for the summer season PTS cycle ?

I do see your point, and to some extent I agree.

 

However, it's a business not a charity - and I do not have an issue with having fools part with their money, which helps make a profit and fund the game for those who (really can) play for free (entirely possible up to T7 I'd say).

 

I grinded (ground?) the Benham for free, it was brutal but worth it, and now I will sit this one out. I realise others could buy it for around 200 Euro outright and fine, I really wanted the Benham for free...
