I take the  chance to ask an opinion to the most experienced players.:Smile_hiding:

Currently I have around 17k dubs. I was thinking to buy Massa and Atago/Mainz (all B) but now I have the doubt if instead it will be better to take only Massa and then the current premium battlepass (if and when completed the chain)...

Any suggestion?

Battlepass doesn’t really worth it. It gives you a below average ship, and some extra steel and coal, but those don’t even cover 1/10th of the price of a ship. Investing in T8 premiums are a much better use of doubloons. Massa is still strong, as well as Atago. Mainz is excellent in operations, but not strong in randoms.

Just (40 min. ago or so) bought the Legendary pack (I know, perhaps a bit stupid, but things has been done), but it's not appearing in my inventory...

 

Edit: Missing some of the containers (Steam Free DLC and with redeeming codes) as well...

Presumably, a) they don't expect to sell that many, but it does boost the perceived value of any that fall out of containers, and b) there *will* be whales that'll pay that, no matter how ludicrous the price appears to rational folk...

 

True, but dam!! 

Just feel like i saved £83.00:Smile_teethhappy:

Have a look in your missions - you should have sprouted some extra battle pass missions (I think). Also, when you get resources, I think you get an extra bonus (mine reports separately from my regular clan bonus)...

 

Edit: I'm an idiot - you mean the 'everything' pack of S&M ships?

I have to admit I had a flicker of that sentiment too, although there is zero chance I'd pay full price for a second Napoli...

Like others have correctly said, I don't need to rush and will wait, there are weeks until BF end.

I just asked it now, to give time to anyone so kind to answer. :Smile_honoring:

 

For the BF event I'm targeting T8 only (better discount, can be used in Ops, don't face T11).

Massa B will be buyed (eventually).

The question I'm asking myself is if buy "now" also a CA, or buy the "mediocre" battlepass CL + resources... the CAs could be instead buyed later with coupons (after collecting enough dubs... 'cause I'm FtP only).

I think I was an idiot earlier: you bought one of the big packs with lots of Black ships in, right?

 

In that case, you should see the ships in port more or less right away (put in a ticket if not); you should also see missions for doubloons and flags, if you have the vanilla version of the ship already, but I don't know if one/both appear if you don't have the vanilla version.

 

In missions, there should be something like this:

 

image.png.d89352e36d60d4e41e3a254298084349.png

 

I think everyone should get that, as it includes missions for BF crates.

 

As I have some of the new black ships, I see things like this as well:

The 'flag' one gives you a commemorative flag and symbol, and the 'doubloons' gives you doubloons (and other stuff for higher tiers).

Was a bit surprised with the 0.4% droprate from normal containers..........

DOn't bought one of the new ships. Got the Rregular ones, and it's expansive enough as it is :D

 

But still no ships I do bought. Seems i'll have to make a ticket...

Do you have a reasonably high level USN captain, whom you can dedicate to a full secondary build on Massachusettes B if you get her?

 

If not, you're buying a wonky-gunned Premium BB that you can't use 50% of her main advantage of, in which you may as well just play North Carolina and build her for tank build.   You'll have a more accurate ship, with MUCH more main gun range, albeit without the fast reloading heals of Massa.

Check if the transaction went through, sometimes bank sends a verification request esp for larger transactions and if you didnt use the company before, you should have an email invoice detailing the purchase.

 

If you recieved the invoice check the charge and other data ie if your account name etc is all corect, if all is in order try re-logging into the game

 

If its still missing customer supprt ticket is your only option

OMFG. Bought it online, from the premium shop (had no problem doing it before), but now I see it's a different name (Admiral_Blackadder) then my steam account (Schelfie).

 

Does this mean i've wasted €210 on it? :cap_wander_2:

I don't know what to get. Jean Bart and Massachusetts are obsolete, Asashio is impractical. I already have Alaska. The rest is available on armory. If only there were other premiums like Roma.

I got this one. It's not black, but it works absolutely fine even if it gets uptiered. :Smile_Default:

M-51 in War thunder right?  I have the version of that tank in WoT, called M4 Rev there(good, if underrated tank).  Interesting to see Gaijin went with the welded hull of the later Shermans and WG version uses the cast M4A1 hull.

Both M-51 variants are available. This one is the premium one (welded, because based on M4A3); the other one (cast, because based on the M4A1) is the techtree tank.

I know, thanks for the warning but I have 2-3 potential candidates (not Halsey, currently on NC line for main guns).:cap_like:

Assuming the account you bought it for is one of yours, I believe WG will give a refund if you haven't played more than one (?) battle with the ship(s) in question - definitely time for a ticket though.

Already done it. Never played with the Admiral_Blackadder account (only in test). I only play with my Steam Account, so I hope it'll be refunded...

It primarly depends if you are more bb or cruiser player. If you are both than you could buy Atago and Mainz. I have that two ships and many other high tier premiums in the port but Atago and Mainz are the best. If you can buy both and you will never regret. They are both a blast to play, at least for me. As long Massa is concerned, I dont have her but She is a very good ship with imoroved fast heal and imoroved secondaries. The problem is that with introduction of subs and the long range meta, Massa is not usefull like before. It is difficult for her to close up into the sweet 10-13 km range. Therefore I bought Alabama that is more longer range than Massa which is awesome in this meta. If you can buy Alabama, it is like Nort Carolina but faster rader shift, smaller size, better armor and better torpedo bulges. So for me Alabama would be my choice👌my two cents.
