EDIT: In case you did not notice it, this is NOT premium container.

Yup bought the ten pack and got the Tirpitz B and the Yoshino B

 

From non-premium containers? I see only premium containers in Armory. Those have 12% chance of dropping ship, while non-premium ones from mission have 0.32% chance to drop a ship. I see "small" difference there.

They were premium containers yes, I bought the sequential containers up to the Duny, mainly for the 3 prem containers you can get from it, out of the three got the sims B  and  14 days prem and the third one gave me some signals

12% is an 8-1 chance of getting a ship, 0.32% is 300-1, lottery win is about 45,000,000-1.

 

300-1 is a long shot, but not a hopeless one, by any means.

 

Perhaps WG could ask Rachel Riley to help Dasha to give the playerbase a lesson in probability as part of the next patch notes?

1-300? Lol. 

 

Fair play and well done WG for telling us the odds but wow. 

 

1-8 from premium containers? Bet they are rubbing their hands together. They will be raking the money in.

I was jealous and didn't even post. Just got back to Khabarovsk grind (which I got done) and opened the garbo containers.

Hmm. Is Asashio B a new Makarov for regular Black Friday containers?

Ok, guys. From 10 non premium black friday containers, you have about 3.1% chance to get at least one ship. Soo from 100 forumites, we can expect 3 (that means in practice 2-5 persons) to get at least one ship. For the connaiseurs, see the maths below

asashio is the new makarov? ;D

I’ve also seen a streamer who opened Asashio from his first 10 premium containers (having no other black ships). Given it should be 1:12 chance, there seems to be too many anecdotes.

This happened to me as well lmao. With the spare doubloons I had left from buying Alaska, I bought a single container, and got Loyang B. Can't complain, to be honest.

This, I mean it would be a great PR move, something like: "In addition to revealing our droprates and the enforcment of rules to protect minors from Gambeling, we want to anounce the start of our free probability theory 1 course for all our players to learn what 10% firechance on your shells realy means.

I bet Money asashio is ranked higher on chances also higher tier have less chance but that's still hidden.

Love it how forumites are fanning the flames of WG money. 

 

They are loving all this publicity, lol. 

 

Personally there isn't any ships I actually NEED or really want that are left out of the selection. 

 

Think about all those ships you have in port and havnt even played or used to and don't anymore. Yet people feel compelled to buy, like its a drug to feed the addiction. 

 

The here today gone tomorrow culture.

All fair points.

 

But while there is still a lot to criticise, this Black Friday is WG from 2018/2019, with a sale which actually appears to be about discounted goods.

If you want a Jean Bart B, you don't *have* to gamble for it, you can just buy it for doubloons at a price 30% lower than another Tier IX BB. Your choice.

It's a *sale*. From a company which didn't seem to understand what the term meant only a few months ago.

 

So there's some progress.

Only works when 100 forumites spend money for the chance of a black ship they might or not might have already...

These are for free crates you get from missions.

Its great to know that with 1 out of 300 free low tier crates roughly has a chance to drop a ship, some people actually get a ship. It is to be expected though, so I'm not sure if this warrants a dedicated thread :fish_boom:
