I have a lot of coal

I Dont play much tier 9-11 (Ok I did play my Musashi today grinding potential damage for the Dido/Canarias mission)

I dont like CV:s

Is there anything worth getting cos it sure doesn´t look like it,

Should I save the coal for possible future releases of new ships, anyone heard of any upcoming ships for coal ?

There's the Brisbane (Tier IX Commonwealth Minotaur with long range torps) but otherwise, no.

The Rio is decent fun so she would not be a bad choice.

 

Tulsa is supposed to be a Des Moines with 1/3 less barrels, as someone who really enjoys their Salem that sounds intriguing, but since i don't have Tulsa i can't really give you anything solid on her.

 

I would very much advice you to pick up the 2 Tier 3's (Campbeltown and Charleston) however. They don't cost you any money if you buy them for Coal and having them removes them from the potential drop pool of supercontainers and any other containers that can drop ships that include these 2 in their drop pool. Basically, if you buy them for coal now, you are not screwing yourself out of a more valuable ship (ie, one that cost actual cash) in a future container drop.

The Radar only HE Mino thingy is going for what kind of currency?

 

@Ronchabale

I'd wait. Nothing really interesting in that screenshot unless you enjoy going to hell and get a malta.

That and there's nothing to be lost from waiting. It's not like WG has announced they're going to remove any of the above from sale, something they (thankfully) tend to do well in advance.

IIRC, these low-tier ships are neither in christmas nor super containers. Therefore, this advice results in a waste of coal.

 

Personally, I would buy the tier 10 first. To maximise the number of super containers (anniversary) and certificates (christmas snowflakes). Even id you dont play them much (cv's..).

I love Black, even if she is a lot of coal, the other question is do you have and want any of the special the commanders? The 175k or the cheaper 35k that get overlooked but also have nice passive buffs like improved HP for DDs etc that make them well worth having if you really like one ship they could play on?

Well you said you don't like CVs, else I'd have pointed at Malta.

 

I'm having good fun with my Tulsa. It's basically a baby Des Moines with premium economy. But if you have DM and/or Salem (and you apparently have at least the latter), you don't really need Tulsa.

 

Maybe grab Campbeltown, just for the history of the ship.

Take the Black, I have it and it's a beast of a DD hunter/cap contester. I enjoy it very much!

T9 is the new T8 with supershits around.

More or less. Still the best economy in the game on premium ships. (If you make it work against XI, it's even better now.)

I'm another vote for Black, despite the whole 'T9 is now the red-headed step-child' thing; bonus points if you've unlocked the alternative paintjobs for the US DDs - the alt for Black doesn't have the 'shoot me here' markers for the fire locations...

If he playes Musashi and is a BB main, the only choice is the T5 BB.

I´ll go with The Impalers advice and wait and see

 

I guess the Black isn´t going away anytime soon so that option remains

Black is very strong... I would pick it up even if you don't play T9 randoms (due to super shts etc), because it's a beast in T9 ranked/competitive modes.

Black is worth it, otherwise I'd wait of something interesting pops up.

I have Tulsa and did really like it a lot and then I got Salem, as a result DM got sold and Tulsa sits in port.   Yes it’s good but Salem’s oh so much better.

Why spending almost 300k Coal for tier 9 ship in this horror of new meta? Yea, I know he might have coupon for discount but still, I would rather wait for something else. Especially if he is not DD main player.
