Hi all,

 

[Poll - May 2021] How many ship lines with "Tier X" have you reset for the "Research Bureau" thus far?

 

 

Table of XP needed for "Tier X" line reset:

 

Using most excellent "WoWs Fitting Tool":

 

https://wowsft.com/research

 

 

NOTE:

Resetting one ship line by using FreeXp in order to gain more multipliers count as well! :Smile_great:

 

 

Thus far I reset my German DD line late last year (on the very last day the "x2" modifier was active and the next day I FreeXP that same line to Tier X in order to gain another "x2" modifier) - then I started playing normally but every ship tier now gains me the "x4" modifier (i.e. x4 = x2 + x2) - IMHO this is the most efficient way to get the best possible modifier in shortest possible time for modest cost of around 700.000 FreeXP)! :Smile_coin:

 

Therefore I reset my line twice and I will choose "2" in the poll answer!

 

When I finish I will get "Ohio" (I got 23.000 Research Points via normal play = daily missions + 10.000 initial gift)  but I answered "None" in the poll because I haven't done it yet!

P.S.

I did similar thread with poll in February 2020:

 

 

and then again in August 2020:

Only done it 4 times cause I had loads of Free XP and Credits and did a double reset then one season ended and the next started so I had a x4 bonus on each ship, so in reality I have only bought the Harugumo line 3 times (First when originally grinding and 2 times for the resets). Otherwise I would not have touched this stupid addon to the game, got the Siegfried and Yolo Emilio out of it and now regret the Siegfried cause the commander Rework killed the ship, Yolo Emilio is fun but heavily reliant on MM to function.

 

When the next x2 bonus comes around I might do the same again to get the Vampire as it is a ship I have actually visited 20 years ago and I do enjoy the Haida and Daring.

I reseted IJN Battleships and Harugumo line both once to get Vampire II. I'm probably never touching it again but time will tell.

I reset the Harugumo line two times (both with bonus) to get Vampire II. But I did not really re-grind, I used the FreeXP I had saved (just in case) since they first announced her and only played through Kitakaze in ranked.

I reset one line every time I get double research points. So far I have reset UK CL, US CL, IJN DDs, US DDs and just now German DDs. 

Just enjoying some old friends at a leasurely pace.

Bought myself Ohio with the proceeds. Maybe Vampire II is next.

I bought Colbert and Paolo Emilio so far. I do not count number of resets but I think it must be 5 or 6. I used double points bonus yesterday and I'm not sure what to set on my radar now but probably Ohio or Slava.

Still zero, although I am trying to get the Paolo Yolo through the monthly 1200 RB tokens you can get. (unlocked the RB during the Anchorage DY event)

I have reset ITA CAs once and Haru line twice, every time using the bonus. Used FXP to speed up the grind for the lower tiers. Gonna buy the Ohio when I finish the regrinds, still selected None in the poll.

I reset both US cruiser lines back in the day when you could still buy Free XP for the RB thingies, just to get muh Smaland.

<muahahahahaha>

 

Then this patch I took it up to reset the Harugumo line whenever a double bonus is available, just in case WG suddenly start offering some insanely toxic crap for that currency so I don't miss out. Because that is the line that costs the least Free XP.

 

Will probably reset the English line in future though or something else cause I really suck at IJN gunboats for some reason, and am just too loath to blow all that free XP even though I have some to spare. See above.

This.

Only once it reset I reset a line that the current meta so/so encourages, usually I can make it in time but a few times I've resorted to complete it with free xp.

Contemplating resetting again in august but not after that. BBs I couldn't care for and the cruisers doesn't really gets my juices flowing. Could purchase a few LMU/UU but nothing really is of my interest atm.

US BB line once (never again!)
KMS BB line once (might redo it because I like KMS BBs)

Russian light cruiser once (never again!)
USN light cruiser line 4 times ! (probably my favourite line, will do it again !)

 

Got the Siegfried for the secondaries but now it sit in port...

Will soon buy the Colbert/Ohio and then the other one in one or two reset if nothing better is out.

Three lines (I think - both IJN DD lines, plus the Russian cruisers), although I've reset the IJN torp line multiple times, most recently on the day of the latest bonus reset.

 

I've technically only bought two ships (the most recent being Vampire II this morning), but a lot of the free xp for my Smaland came from the RB (before that option was removed)...

Let us know how you like Vampire II. And esp whether she is worth having besides Daring.

Almost all DD lines require less xp than BBs. Harugumo line is the cheapest. Montana's is the most expensive one.

Dds cost less (xp vise, cheaper modules).

Plus Harugumo line has strong high tier ships.

 

Now I dont keep < T10 silver ships.

Resetting would cost me a lot. Moving captain uptier alone would cost a small fortune.

wows fitting tool can calculate that for you.

Harugumo line requires exactly 676.640. That's without discount I assume.

 

Gearing requires 711.290

That means you need to grind 34.650 more XP

If you like the line, go for it.

As I had the Haida, I knew how to get the most out of the Vampire II. It's the only time I've used the RB. 

 

Like most scenarios it's knowing when to fight or flee. The crawling smoke, speed boost and hydro allows you to do both if you get your timing right. 

 

Enjoy

So far I have reset the Midway line three times and the Haku line once, the first reset was before the x2 bonus, but since then I only do it when the bonus is available. I got Ohio and played her in ranked a few times, next time I will probably get the Vampire II, again for ranked only. Personally I dont have a problem with the function, since I rarely play T10 anyways and spend most of my time on T6 or T8, stacking somewhat useless XP. In addition I have perma camos for my Ranger and Ryujo.

I have lost count of how times I have reset the US CL line. Having grinded every single tech tree line, a line reset gives me the purpose and excuse to look at the lower tiers, away from the these-days-not-so-nice-high-tier meta.

 

Using flags and camo's it goes reasonable fast without free XP-ing any ship and keep on track with new upcoming RB ships

Shima's x1

Harugumo's x1

Republique's x1

Zao's x1

Hindenburg's x1

 

Montana's x4 (I think)

 

Bought Ohio and Slava (which I don't play) and sitting on 70k+ RPs waiting for Napoli or anything interesting to show up.
