… what do you think how much they manipulate adjust the drop chance for something useful (premium ships, doubloons, premium time) on the Supercontainer? Veterans usually get anywhere between 15 and 50 (? how many TX are there now, close to 80?) Supercontainer from this event. In no way do i believe that they will not "tweak" (lower the useful stuff drop chance and add a shortlist in case something good drops accidently) the SCs during this event.

How many SC will you get and what is your expectation to get something "super"-worthy?

I've yet to drop any ships from SCs since I started playing the game so my expectations aren't high. Been getting an abnormally high amount of steel drops tho.

47 SC for me. Don't expect anything, this way I can't be disappointed.

They only drop from 10s, yes? I forgot...

I'll get 39.

 

My advice is to wholly expect nothing at all. Anything you then receive will be nice or very nice.

So WOWS has never posted a single drop rate for any container. However through sheer observation by many the general break down is something like 1.5%/5%/10% WG lootboxes are more akin to a rigged carnival game then an actual slot machine. Last year I opened 33 boxes from my t10 list. This year it will be 38 boxes. Last year I got no ships only a few k dubs some prem time and a bunch of trash. WG does this on purpose. They want to give in to your addictive mentality and try to win something of value through their rigged system. Even when you do win it will never be worth the money or value as WG applies a short list. Lest we forget the Makarov.

With only 24 SC to farm my expectations are limited.

 

Premium ship = 0

Steel = 0

Doubloons  = between 4-6k ( always been quite good drops)

Coal = 1/2 drops so 15/ 30 k coal

FXP= 1/2 drops so around 100k fxp

Premium time: 3/4 weeks

 

Rest (66%) will be combination of flags and camo’s.  Depending on ratio good / bad flags/ camo’s I will be moderately pleased if I just bag this.

 

Edit: last year I got a Cheshire as a drop from anniversary SC, I expect, by the grace of almighty RNG WG algoritmes if I am to be privileged, to receive the OP Tiger ‘59 . ( Have Makarov)

Hey! You joke, but I didn't even get a Makarov. Can you imagine my shame when I arrive in a Marblehead on Makarov Day?!

With how things are going lately, it wouldnt surprise me if they cancel the SC's 

So its gonna be the standard TX=SC T9=steel, T5/T8= coal?

Unlikely. That would involve changing the devblog and spending minimal effort doing so.

I think that I am to receive around 40 "Super Containers"... :Smile_hiding:

 

As for percentages - they didn't change and we have our forumite @black_falcon120 with his surveys  (every year) :Smile_honoring::

No need its so abysmal it doesnt matter how many SC you pick up as the chance of them dropping anything worthwhile to an veteran are nil

No coal, no steel - T8/9 = Gift container (5 special signals) and Token that can be exchanged in the Armory for perma camos for some T7 ships nobody plays like Shchors, Gadjah Mada, Yorck, Lyon and some others. I think they didn't say how many token are required per camo, but i assume that you need a crapton of them so you can't get more than maybe 2 camos for the whole event.

What's wrong with playing shchors and gadjah mada? I like them.
