In one battle, get 15 "Caused Flooding" or "Set on Fire" ribbons

[ThePurpleSmurf]

This mission, exactly how drunk was the person who added this one? I think in my nearly 12.000 battles have i never had a game with 15 flood/fire. I also just checked Flamu's Halland game on YT with 26 torp hit plus HE spam and he only got 9 ribbons. I also watch a lot of streams and can not remember a single time where the streamer (usually unicums/superunicums) had 15+ flood/fire in a single game. I'm curious who here has ever had 15 flood/fire ribbons in one game?

Also, how about the Dev who thought this mission is a good idea get his/her salary suspended until this person complete this very mission? I wanna know if this person will starve to death or if they can redeem themself.

[Ashardalon_Dragnipur]

do you have a smol?

[KillStealBoss]

Audacious - 18 fires and 6 floodings

Indomitable - 27 fires once

Moskva - 29 fires

Conqueror 26 fires

Nevsky 20+

Zao 20+ too

 

So yeah I think it's doable but you need some fire starting ships. I think you can even do it on Hindenburg. 

[SkollUlfr]

furry taco can do that.

 

[bobtherterrible]

Yeah I think I did this in Lion, didn't notice at the time but it might have been the "witherer" + "arsonist" + "dreadnought" + "fireproof" bonfirefest the other day.

Easy with every solid HE-cruiser in the game. Just look for targets and spam them. 

 

Smolensk was already named. But also Hindenburg, Henry or Zao are fine. Also Atlanta, Kutuzov or Hipper. And a CV woth HE-Bombs shouls also have noe problems. 

[bobtherterrible]

Also most dds with smoke. Torp for floods, smoke and shoot HE for fires.

There's no fire without smoke after all

 

or somethin'

[I_come_bearing_gifts]

Just done it in the Jean Bart 15 fires

[tocqueville8]

Audacious

Worcester

Des Moines and Salem, though AP is often the better choice

Lyon, or Alsace for that matter. Even better: Bourgogne.

Non-IFHE Kitakaze

Colbert and Smolensk, obviously

Conqueror and Thunderer

Azuma, Yoshino, Ibuki, Zao, non-IFHE Mogami

Maybe a T6-7 heavy cruiser (London, New Orleans, Myoko...): when top tier they face very low fire resistance coefficients, and lots of ships without Fire Prevention

Okhotnik

Emden

 

Judging by some recent screenshots, I had:

- 15 fires in the Baltimore on the 15th of February

- 21 fires in the New Orleans on the 13th

- 15 fires in the Wooster on the 12th

- 16 fires in the Azuma on the 7th

- 15 fires in the Chapayev on the 30th of January

- 16 fires in the Chapayev on the 26th

- 18 fires in the Conqueror on the 25th

- etc. etc.

 

Plus about as many games with 13-14 fires.

 

It's doable. Fire Flags help a lot, at least on heavy cruisers and IJN gunboats.

Henry IV is the one I go for when WG comes up with those dumb missions. Maybe not every game but it's relatively easy to set up 15 fires in a battle lasting 15 minutes.

This is from my Hindenburg game yesterday.

 

 

This is from my Smolensk game yesterday.

 

 

Of course you can always go for Conqueror or Thunderer.

 

 

Or you can always NUKE a full HP Atlanta in a half dead Akizuki with 15 Citadels in 7 seconds. Guess Atlanta didnt get the memo that he was a DD Killer.......

 

 

 

[Hugh_Ruka]

I think I saw this done in a Marceau ... Potato Quality or some such youtuber ... myself I could never do it :-)

[AkerJack]

With Smolensk, Thunderer and Hindenburg you can do it, I won't say easily, but it won't take too much to achieve that.

[lovelacebeer]

It’s a little RNG dependant but certainly do able in certain ships, as others have mentioned Thunderer, Conqueror, Audacious, Smolensk, Zao, Yoshino, Hindenburg etc. It’s really about spreading the love around. 

 

As for whether such a mission is a good idea, given it encourages everyone’s favourite HE spam is another matter. 

[ThePurpleSmurf]

Aah now i see, i'm an idiot. Totally my fault, because i actually try to play the game for the team. Like use AP, play for objectives and such. Well, i guess it's time to join the sit back and spam HE only crew, that'll do it. 

 

Oh well, at least i know how to defend a cap AND had 15 fires, when i didn't need them. Bummer 

[159Hunter]

Now I see the mission, you complain about a mission that gives you two flags? You don't even need to complete this one to finish stage 2 of the Italian missions...

[RenamedUser_92906789]

There is not enough Thunderers in the queue.

Who said i need it? It's just an annoying mission and i had more 3000+ base XP games than 15+ fires in my WoWs life. Heck, i believe i have more solo warrior than 15+ fires in one game.

lol, after 5 years, 12k games and an epic level of skill you need to ask how to get 15 fires in a battle ...

The problem with mission parameters that promote bad team play is an old one, and to be fair to Wargaming things are generally much better now than they were three or four years ago. Back then there used to be a lot of those stupid "kill" missions, that would only give you points for destroying ships but none whatsoever for dealing damage. The result was that players would hoard their salvoes, waiting until an enemy was on such low hit points that they were practically assured of a kill before opening fire. There was also a lot of predictable salt as accusations of "kill stealing" flew back and forth across the chat.

 

The only sane response was to just play the game to the best of one's ability without giving a fig for the missions. That is what I did then, and that is what I do now. If I absolutely definitely need to set a given number of fires within a set time limit, I'll play a few co-op games and then go back to randoms.

 

The best kind of missions are those whose completion criteria synergize with good team play, so that all you have to do to complete them is to just play the game as usual. Again to be fair to Wargaming, most missions nowadays are of this kind - except when they have to be completed within a set time limit.

[Itwastuesday]

I hate these missions. Better not blap the broadside with AP or finish off the battleship, I still need 5 fires for the dillhole mission that has nothing to do with winning games.

 

Still waiting for the RAM 20 FRENCH DESTROYERS mission for CV.

And then you start to wonder why so many Thunderers and Conquerors all of a sudden.
