Grind tips for all event grinds.

[The_Chiv]

So, it seems today people realize the final series of objectives for the French battlecruiser line are a bit..."grindy". So rather then point and laugh at you I thought I would be helpful.

 

TASK:

1. Get 7 destroyed. You really do not have to focus this as this is one of those tasks you should be able to complete while focusing on other tasks.
2. In 6 battles join top 5. Play smart and focus on killing DDs and cruisers as well as getting cap points. Farming BBs actually has the least bxp generation of any class.
3. 50 incapacitations or hit to citadel. I would suggest BBs for this, cruisers will focus on incapacitations with HE. Shooting dds will net you a nice amount of incapacitations.
4. cause 350k spotting. Spot enemy, keep spotted, rinse repeat. DDs/ CV best option for this.
5. Receive 40m potential damage. Play a bb and get 1-3m per match.
6. 100k fxp, You have signals and camos to help you out, however knowing the basics to base xp generation will help out a lot. Caps, DDs, Cruisers, killing ships.(notice farming bb is not on this list right!!!!)
7. 57k base xp. So I pretty much cover this in my slight ranty commentary on the other tasks but. FOCUS FIRE ON DD's and CRUISERS AS PRIORITY TARGETS. DO NOT DAMAGE FARM ON BB'S. Cap zones, defend zones, and finish off ships( seriously killing a ship = 25% damage for base xp calculations even if you only did 1 damage to it.
8. Spot 90k for your team. this one is kind of easy to be honest. Play a dd and focus more on keeping the enemy spotted rather then attacking. Your team will love you.

Just spam ranked and you will have most of them done rather quickly.

[Animalul2012]

The spotting damage missions require a DD,BB,CA. They cant be done using a CV.

Additionally, play Coop or Ranked for the 'top 5' mission - you have to be pretty dreadful to not despatch it in fairly short order...

I'd go with a napoli instead of BBs (if one has it). People tend to like shooting cruisers more than they do BBs (and they'll prefer shooting ships other than petro due to its reputation). When I had to do the mission for the dockyard I went with napoli and got around 1.8m on average every single match.

Yeeeah... Guilty as charged. Moreso I started the thread about 100K FXP and  didn't  even noticed the other missions....

Good advices. However...

That's what I'm gonna do. + some nice randoms with Nevsky. i have her built for range and fires 

 

Coz that's what I'm gonna do anyways....

 

[COPlUM]

This is good advice for how to actually do the missions in a reasonable timeframe but alternatively to get cherbourg, don't do the missions at all, play algerie 15 times, Cherbourg is yours in a few weeks.

[Rockstone_III]

Did the hits to the citadel in one...
Used Salem with AP in co-op. Go straight for a couple of enemy CC's, got on their side and farmed 10 citadels in a single game... thus fulfilling the alternative requirement.
Did kills and top-5 in a few co-ops also, using DD... so it would also count toward spotting mission.

 

As for potential Damage, I will either use Kremlin / Kutznetsov in random or take a German BB in co-op... starting to fire as soon as some thing is in sight. I will see what is more effective.

[Aguirre23]

This last mission set is kinda ridiculous working full time and an already planned weekend. Free XP really isnt that bad with flag stacking in ranked, but THAT much base XP? Cmon, its not like its a free premium, its a [edited]tech tree T8. Just [edited]ridiculous.

Oh yeah 4 wins will get you like 4800-8000 b xp. If you focus on priority targets(destroyers and cruisers) you will almost always have a decent pay out and glide through most of these objectives.

Yes, though some people get snotty suggesting co op even though base xp gen per hour is more consistent in co op then in random.

The downside to choosing a cruiser is you need to keep active and while the napoli does have some maneuverability it is still a cruiser thus overmatch is a thing.

So the reason I did not advocate rank play is...well this is going to sound a bit selfish. Some people are just bad and I would much rather they stay in their lane rather then hurting others in ranked play.

I really need to play kremlin more, I always overlook it for tank purposes.

So 57k is not really that bad. If you think about it as a 8 day event that is like 7125k a day. Even losing every game with a bxp of 500 you are looking at 14 games a day. Hell 4 games of rank in a Musashi already put me over that mark leaving everything else as just bonus gravy. Its not that hard. Just focus on the simple things I have mentioned about BXP farming. It should also be pointed out that most new tech tree lines tend to allow you to get to t7 for free and 8 requiring a bit of resources to obtain. Fact is you are getting this ship for free grind rather then $$$.

You only need to finish 6 missions out of the 8, so skip 7&8, the rest is doable.

9. FIXED 8 

 

 

 

The three bolded I completed in Co-op in 6 games I might put on flags for the Free XP mission playing randoms or ranked over the weekend.  Spotted will come while playing DD. That said, I am not going to worry. If needed I will spend the Community Tokens for the camo. Why stress myself out for a Tech Tree ship?

It is not just about getting the ship, it is about "rescueing" community points, if someone is going for the french concealement. IF someone plans to get the concealement, he or she needs 240 additional french tokens after thrid wave of miissions. In the fourth wave you can make 140 french tokens,  the rest (100 french tokens) you had to buy with 1200 (2x 600) community tokens. At minimum you have to get 40 french tokens at fourth wave, to buy the rest with 2400 community tokens. So in theory, by getting all french tokens from fourth wave of missions, you can "safe" 1200 community marks.

 

Alternativly you just exchance the earned french tokens for one time concealments or credits!

So, I knocked out the grind pretty quickly actually. Guys the Cherbourg is a special kind of fun. It has the agility of a Fiji, decent accuracy that I would rate slightly better than a Scharnhorst, and it has a heal at t8. After a few games I have to give it a 4 out of 5. While not OP it is rather enjoyable, and I cannot wait to go up the line.

As an owner of both Toulon and Brest, I can say the whole line is fun. But it requires a specific play style.
