Is It Too Late For Strasbourg for me?

[Curesto]

Hi, the Campaign will end less than a week. I'm at final quest of the 3rd stage. It's hard to get 4M credits. Is it too late for Strasbourg?

[ollonborre]

If you are going to play nothing but coop, you have a uphill battle ahead unless you devote all your free time to it. Baically it boils down to, do you have the free time avaliable to play more? Because the star requirement for the 4 stage is 14 stars and there is a lot of damage dealing and tanking missions (like do 380k damage- 1 star, get 12 million potential damage in cruisers- 2 stars etc) so that will take time.

I would tentatively say it isn't too late, but you'll need to play quite a bit over the weekend, and not having premium account won't be doing you any favours.

 

Some potential tips:

• To get silver, focus on PvP modes (Randoms, or Ranked if you have ships for the latter); ideally play premium ships that you can consistently do decent damage with.
• For the next stage, there is a multi-star mission that requires you to come top five in 12 games; rinse Coop for this, and repeat the mission as often as needed.
• As a general point, the Task rewards are unremarkable; pick missions that you can do easily and repeatedly (and ideally in any ship type, unless you always play one class) - stars are your primary concern (you can always hoover up missing tasks once you've got Strasbourg).
• If you ever buy premium time, now is the time to do it: it'll boost silver earnings, and give you a third task slot.

You will probably need to put in a few hours, but if you focus on optimising your star gaining, it should be eminently doable (I only got round to finishing the task you're on now earlier today, and I fully expect to complete the campaign tomorrow sometime, but I do run premium account).

It can be done, but depends on your free time and motivation to do it.

I always do all my campaign missions in coop if possible.

I did it with my kitakaze like always. U do about 120k damage per game, your always one of the 5 best in game and the spotting damage u get alsp from time to time.

Somethign like 30 games if everyrhing goes well.

The base xp just do it with ranked for example.

I have plenty of free time, unless i'm going gym or studying my exams. I've been playing WoWs about 3 hours every day. I'm thinking about the stack up my flags and farm some damage on Co-op with my secondary build Scharnhorst.

This is precisely what I did for the Stage 4 to unlock the final task. Set up a few fun DD's in port. Then just spam coop -- the games go very fast, play effective in caps and you're near-always in Top 5, and damage and spotting damage comes at a healthy pace. Carefree and aggressive play with DD's is even pretty fun, as far as coop goes.

Drive with the dd to cap, smoke up as soon as you spot enemy dd, kill it, kill the cruiser charging in, then shoot the bb, wait until hes 5km or so away from cap, press speed boost and torp him dead. When theres another bb u even get more damage from second set od torps

The limitation is going to be completing the final tasks (the 4m credits that you are on and the 20k xp for stage 4) in stage 4 you can unlock the final task purely with damage and being in the top 5 every game,  so coop can’t be beneficial
 

so yes it is doable but you’ll need to maximise your playing time, no sitting in port or watching the end of the match if you’re sunk. Also and credit boosting flags/camos would help getting you through the stage 3 final task (as well as playing random)

 

But being totally honest you ain’t missing much, it’s not a ship you are going to see often in games in a few months time.

you can make those what possible finish faster, other-way it may take forever

[MementoMori_6030]

It took me roughly 6-7 hours to get the 4th stage stars in coop and another few hours to finish the final task. If you happen to have a day of premium in some container which you have saved for exactly such an occasion, it helps a lot (so you can do 3 tasks at once, and also earn more credits). I basically did 3 of the tasks 3 times each: The 2 for damage (general and in BB), and the 12 "good" games (iirc). So, depending on how much time you actually have available per diem, and how capable/unyielding you are, a few days should suffice.

so you can't work out how much you earn a game?

[vaapad_master]

No its not too late. I am at the same stage and will finish the stage 4 in the coop. Just play about 50 battles in it in a ship you do well and keep repeating that task which requires you to be 12 times in top 5 by xp in your team (which gives you 3 stars). I guess you could do it in about 5-6 hours (a couple more with the final task included) . The final task shouldn't be too difficult either if you once again play the ships you do well in. Also it isn't that hard to get the credits if you use every single flag/camo plus premium time which boosts the income of it. 

[Fatal_Ramses]

Me and a friend did the mission 4 during one evening, took 4-5h. Then I grinded the 13k base-exp in ranked and the rest 7k in Randoms.

Well. I just unlocked the Strasbourg a few hours ago, and it was worth the grind - and if it's just for its winter camo. The paintwork is just gorgeous... A hull in blue or lilac with golden appliqués and golden barrels... My Strasbourg captain will be the Mariner with the Golden Gun.

With 5 days to go and only 2 mission slots, i'd say it is going to be pretty hard. I got the final stage in 3 days(x7 stars a day in the first 2 days and the final mission on the 3rd) but i have premium account so i could do 3 missions at the same time.  And the final mission is 20k base exp, so forget about doing it in co op.

[Setterus]

you ain't missing anything critical if you don't get it. 

I stopped the campaign to skip it cause i was bored to end it, then decide it to give it a go and eventually end it. 

Really i don't think is worth it other than it's just a premium. 

There are way better ships than this.

If you still want to get it you can. But you will need to give a huge amount of time.

Just don't burn out for one ship that barely worth it.

Why? With something between 30 and 40 games it's entirely possible. It was a bycatch while doing dockyard stuff.

[Captain_Newman]

Do you have:

 

- a t7 premium ship;

- economic camos and flags (the ones that give extra credits)?

- premium time?

 

If the answer is yes to all, then I suggest you stack them all on a good t7 premium and go do Narai. You can get the 4m in a few runs easily.

 

Dry humping it in coop won’t do it.

I know im not that active lately but is this time limit for campaigns a new thing? All the rest we have had all the time in the world to finish, right? All the ones from earlier years you can still grind and finish?

All the winter campaigns have been limited on time and the Polish commander campaign.

And payed Steel Monsters campaign 2 years ago was also time-limited to 6 months.

[invicta2012]

Yes, it is. If you're worried about earning credits then a weekend's worth of Premium time (£1.50) is a sound investment.

I wouldn´t worry about not getting it, Its a Tier 7 Dunkerque with a reload boost in game you will play against Tier 7 BB.. Sinop, Ashitaka, Nagato, Colorado, Nelson all these overmatch you

Then you have the tier 8:s and the Tier 9:s

Maybe the enemy Musashi will not bother to shoot you cos you pose no threat at all but still..

Yeah maybe you could surprise some CL:s 

The Strassburger is a one trick pony and getting it to perform well will need some serious skillz

If you still want to cut down on the amount of time you're willing to spend here, now is be the time to buy two days of premium time.

 

For the final phase take Task 1 (380k damage), Task 2 (12 times in top5) and one of Task 3-6, depending on what ship class you like to play. If you play co-op, every battle should advance all three missions. With plenty of free time you should be able to grind the 14 stars in one or two days.

 

For the final task (20k base XP), you need to switch to random or ranked, and take something that's a reliable performer for you.
