[MBSSX] OldschoolGaming_YouTube Beta Tester 3,274 posts 16,879 battles Report post #1 Posted December 15, 2019 I just thought it might be interesting to see if anyone actually get these ships that are dangeled in front of us to tease us to buy any of the Christmas containers. Of the whole list I choosen these four (Missouri, Musashi, Benham and Belfast) since imho I think these are what the mayority of the playerbase would consider the "Jackpot win" out of them all. Many of these are considered really rare and in some cases a bit OP. For instance I didnt include Kutuzov since its not really that OP/broken any more with likes of Colberts and Smolensks in the game. So I just wanna know, in the name of transparancy, who if any have actually gotten these mighty four out of the boxes. And I would like to see either a picture of when you got the ship (im guessing many would take a screenshot of a thing like that) or atleast a screenshot from the ship in your port with close to none XP on it. Thanks! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[THESO] MrWastee Players 4,255 posts 33,584 battles Report post #2 Posted December 15, 2019 last years drops seemed random tier wise. this year it seems wayyyy more likely to draw em from bottom up on. didnt record the numbers in my case, but that's what i experienced this year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-IAN-] IanH755 Players 2,100 posts 7,141 battles Report post #3 Posted December 15, 2019 Got Benham and the "rarest" CV Enterprise after buying 40 Mega crates (all open together so no idea which set of 20 dropped them) but I'm a whale with over 100 premiums already so there was only 1 "normal" ship I could get on the list so 3 of the 4 were "rare" ones, Benham, Enterprise and Fujin and lastly the normal ship Kaga. Played 1 Benham game so far. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! I think that they are quite hopeless if you do not have almost anything left to get. I got Nikolai the first year in the middle so to speak with many ships left. 2nd year I got my Kamikaze and Gremy as the 2 last possible ships 60-80 crates or so, but there were not more than 5-6 ships left then. 3 rd year did not buy any (no ships to get). This year 4 free+26 T10 small + 40 mega w Gorizia. Out of the 6 ships left I got 1 from the small 3 from the 40 , bought GZ and have Fujin left as only drawable ship. Will not buy any more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akula971 Beta Tester 1,059 posts 14,838 battles Report post #7 Posted December 15, 2019 I bought a LOT of Mega crates hoping to get at least a Benham. All I got was some gold, and 180 days premium. Premium for a game that I uninstall on a regular basis.A very poor result. Its a warning to me to not spend another penny on this soviet biased crap show of what was once a good game.

The grifting, deceptive, and down right underhand behaviour of this company is beyond the pale. The Benham was up till the Puerto Rico the hardest to obtain ship, with a very well made but difficult event behind it. It costed 200eu then to buy straightout. I wouldnt expect that throwing in even 200eu on crates now would give you a great chance to get it. Benham is very much fun though. Missouri is great too, and belfast probably too (dont have the latter). The Musashi however is just a downtiered Yamato, which is fun but it lacks the two things that make a Yamato really powerful: the 2.1 sigma value and the legendary upgrade. So while the Musashi is fun and good, i think a Georgia and JB (both of which are currently available) are much more interesting. l 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! You're not asking the right question really - the main factor is whether or not you have "all" the other premium ships in youu collection... The way the system works is that it rolls to see if you win "a ship" and if you succeed it gives you a random premium - it then checks to see if you have that ship already, if you do then it re-rolls "A supercontainer" and gives you a ship that you do not already have - and that last bit seems to be from T5 upwards. So to get Benham you either need a fantatstically lucky 1st roll, or have every other ship already in your collection so that benham is the only possible result on a re-roll. This is why so many people are getting t5-t6 ships, and so many of those Yahagi and exeter (as they are both relatively new premium, ships that were not handed out in events etc) So, if you do not have all of the premiums, your question should be: "How many people have gotten any of the Uber-rare ships, if they did not already have all of the other premiums." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlingaDing Beta Tester 261 posts 3,498 battles Report post #13 Posted December 15, 2019 From my own experience if you don’t already possess every available ‘normal premium’ available in the list at this current time, you will not see any of the ‘rare’ premiums. This is how it panned out for me last Christmas. BUT, between getting all normal premiums, to rolling a ‘rare’ I did get many duplicates for which I was compensated with doubloons.

I got Benham, Missouri, Belfast etc. only ship I don't have is the Musashi. Out of the 60 mega's and 20 big's (1x20 mega , 1x20 big's and 40 mega's in Italian pack) I got 22 ship drops. I did use the dubloons drops on buying new containers. (14 mega's and 23 big's) Missouri drop was when there were still 8 "normal premiums" out. Benham and Belfast drop was when still 6 were to drop. then when all normal drops were done... all rare's dropped in port. so these über rare's did drop before I had all normals and rare's Good drop-rate on my account... don't let it fool you, many players don't have such luck. (like me normally doesn't) PS. in all little containers... the great tier 10 rewards! nothing , nothing and nothing again.
