It's okay at least we have a filter to remove them from the carrousel.consider them scuttled in the deepest part of the harbour. Can't really complain since I got Kamikase R and 3 Tier IX ships as well

Bought 48 Megaboxes (with remaining gold from last years 100% Cashback; 2 x 20, 1 x 8)

In total (percentages in brackets are the advertised percentages for mega-crates)

Ships 11 23% (16%)
Premium days 1 2% (1%)
Red Booster 4 8% (8%)
Gold 3 6% (5%)
Camo 4 8% (5%)
Coal 3 6% (7%)
Blue Booster 12 25% (38%)
CommanderXP 2 4% (10%)
Silver 8 17% (10%)

 

Ships include 2 subs and 2 carriers, but I will survive (of course the soviet CV was missing. At least Bearn comes with a crate of champagne...)

Thanks, same to you, too!

 

To be honest, In totasl I'm quite happy. Personally I rate camo, credits and CommanderXP as "filler". So while the ships were quite fine, I had also a slightly higher percentage of these blanks (combined 29% vs. 25%). The looser were the blue boosters, which have to provide the excess in good and bad ones. Nevertheless, substituting at least the camos with higher percentages of boosters and/or gold, would increase the attractivity of the crates.

 

Not to beat a dead horse, but with the cash-back you (WG) yould have made more money. I saved a bit for the dockyard, but with the coupon I would had bought additional gold and then at least another 20set of crates instead of the 8; together with future spendings, which are more seductive with a mountain of gold in ones account. Now, with depleted coffers I will just be more thoughtful. :fish_book:

Well I saved my KOTS collection for this day. So I bought 2 KOTS for tokens and completed that so I could get Collinwood by the T7 Premium container (was updated  now) as this was the sole ship. Now I can buy crates (none below T8 remains).

Expecting subs ofc as the first two.

Typical WG, i remember a time where you had snowflake events every christmas/new year that were rewarding, now you neeed 5 tokens for the only decent santa crate, such a toxic, greedy company.

Kind of. As noone have them except those who got them in the first box in the bundles, when you exchanged 50000 FreeXP for 1 box.

Therefor from pure statistics these should be the most common draw of the second tier group. I miss 13 ships or so before the draw begins, I will buy a few sets but will wait if one of the coupons might copme before the boxes sales goes to end. Also the certificates will likely bring me 13-14 Mega boxes so we will see how coal or boxes will thin out the numbers needed.

1/3/5 is like last year. I think it is oK to be able to mix at your own desire. There are many suspect things in WG but the certificates is nothing that annoys me much, more that they have included credits and useless camos as possibilities in the containers.

In previous years you would have the option to only receive the small santa's gift. now we give you the option to get Big and Mega ones as well, or still the option to get 1 small one for every TX ship.
Not much has really changed.

Mate, that change from lowest basic box for every T10 to the 1/3/5 certificate systems was one of the best changes ever done by WG.

Suddenly T10 jumped up in value every Christmas. Instead of low value drops, you could get the good boxes for free.

Back in 2018 we valued the T9-8 drops more.

I bought 40 mega containers and got 12k doubloons, Gröningen, Florida, Prinz Eitel, Mikoyan, Novoros, 1 year of premium account and a metric ton of high rarity boosters, coal and credits. I got 2.5 times my moneys worth and now can skip any grind I want with little to no effort. My only regret is the 75 or so camouflages I got but they can also be sold for credits so cant complain really. The only thing left to do now is to finish the Azur Lane collection, purchase some spare doubloons and get Azuma. Imagine paying for the luxury of being overmatch citadeled into the stratosphere not once but twice.

I usually play CVs only once a year in Coop, to knock off the snowflakes for Santa. For the subsshits, I wouldnt even do that.

What crate gives the best bang for buck so far? Think I have 38 T10´s so that would be only 7 Mega´s then. Remember me using up last years tokens on that years biggest crates and got just junk (no ships, no coal, no dabloons), so I immediately thought I should have bought tons of the cheapest ones instead for more value.
