Which line are you starting with in OBT?

[Sharana]

The big wipe and the OBT start are very close and the big grind will start. Most of you probably have already selected main line for themself, ships they enjoy the most. As the grind will be much harder most of the players will focus with on 1 line with 2nd one going on with x1.5 for the first win and occasional grind while the main ship will be in battle. So which ships have you selected for yourself?

 

I will start with CVs and if there are no changes that would be IJN CVs. The Hakuryu International Airport in the last implementation (PT 0.4.0 v2) is very enjoyable for me, the grind with IJN strike setups will be more enjoyable too. I will start with CVs first because I have most of my fun with them and because of the initial rush, where you have to keep with the others or you will end up playing only against higher tiers at some points which is ... fun.

The second line will be USN BBs, because I'm pretty sure I will be bored with CVs after going to tier 10 and the USN CV line will have to wait. The grind will be harder, but I enjoy the high tier USN BBs a bit more then the Japanese. I also won't be able to grind with Izumo without swearing every battle

[strangers123]

Voted Senjo and Montana, but will parallel grind both the airport and midway since the last class I was missing decent experience in was CVs

[KurumizawaR]

IJN CV and IJN CA

just love my torps on crusiers and, well, i like IJN CV more than US atm^^

[Userext]

IJNDD USNDD which one will be first depends on how WG will review kagero 

[Calapine]

Hmm. Good question. No prior experience with WG games and the CBT income was greatly inflated, I haven't thought about it from the point of 'grind' or 'optimal path'. 

 

I think my initial tendency is to stick with the Japanese classes. BB, CV, CA equally. If it turns out this is too time consuming I suppose carriers and battleship have priority. Destroyers as they are now seem a bit too masochistic for my taste. ;)

Uhm yeah about the inflated part they will raise the cost of everything instead of taking the boost off. Exampel shimakaze will be 19 mil and its torpedo upgrade will be 3.6 mil

at this thread you can read some of the replies and find it out and you also might findo ut that those setups each cost 2.5 mil

[strangers123]

Credits balance can be whatever, it can be 10 credits to buy a tier 10 for anything

 

XP costs and gain need to be similar to the other titles if WG are considering unified free XP, otherwise one game could be used to grind free XP using just the 0.5% from the battle XP to spend in another game.

[mtm78]

Voted IJN CA and IJN DD, but I'll most likely grind them quick to tier 5 and then do USN CA / DD. I don't think I will do a BB line promptly, also not a CV line as I still don't enjoy playing them.

I do know it's rather a price increase than an income nerf. English isn't my mother language and my phraseing is often somewhat imperfect due to his.

 

About the thread you linked, I am aware of it contents as I am the threadstarter.

as an example hakuryu's setups is 7k exp with 300k credit now but it will be 30k exp and 2.5mil at 0.4.0

[Xmasbeer]

USN CA and USN DD.

 

Pew pew and DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA all the way.

[Orkel2]

My target ships will be:

-Minekaze

-Mogami

-Kongo

-Yamato

What I meant is that the cost can be in tens, or it can be in billions as long as the profit to cost ratios are balanced to a model similar to WoT (little experience in planes)

 

There needs to be an incentive for players to not only play tier 10. If all tier 10 players make good profit nobody will play lowertiers and matches there lose diversity

HOWEVER

Good players should be kept at tier 10 to avoid forcing them to go to lower tiers and messing with the skill balance (Sealclubbing, if you want)

 

That way the average player needs to grind credits at lower tiers, the good players can stay somewhat sustained at the higher tiers to avoid forcing them to lower tiers to make money. That way the economy stays balanced and so does the gameplay. At least if no skill based MM is introduced.

[Lightbaron]

I voted for IJN BBs and IJN CAs but I will play all IJN lines simultaneously and not only those two.

HIA will probably the last one to reach t10 but the other three lines will probably progress with similar speed.

 

Ships I want to keep in my port:

-BBs: Kongou, Amagi

-CAs: Aoba, Mogami

-DDs: Mutsuki, Fubuki

-CVs: Hiryuu

[Captain_Edwards]

Im starting at.........t6 with the Warpsite

 

 

Then I will use some free xp to bypass early ships in the US/IJN BB tree's. Then work up the US CA tree.

[Loran_Battle]

Grind ALL THE THINGS.

 

Seriously. I have no specific goals, like I did in CBT (which is why after 1050 games I have no tier X, but every line up to 8 or 9...).

 

I will also be keeping every ship I play. Since I know myself, and I am a collector in these kind of games (speaking from experience in WoT here).

 

probably will go for CVs primarily, but it depends on my mood what I play each day.

[Aerroon]

Of course I'll be going for tier 10 in all ships. Duh.

[Broevaharo]

First the IJN DD and after that the IJN CV but I couldn't get on the common test so I have to wait how it all works out with all the changes

[mtm78]

Of course I'll be going for tier 10 in all ships. Duh.

 

Bet you won't finish the game that quickly this time around 

[Hedgehog1963]

IJN DDs at tiers II through V were excellent in CBT.

 

USN DDs were my second favourite.

[Pivke]

IJN cruisers will be my priority.

at the same time i will level up wide range of other ships too.

[Nethraniel]

IJN DDs first, then IJN CA second... after that everything else except CV.... gotta catch 'em all

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

Looks u havesame tastelol , i go IJN CVs , and for 2nd prob will be usa BBs

 

[Ishiro32]

I don't have time to really grind, so I will probably end up often fighting higher tier ships, but I will be going with IJN CVs. I know, shocker.
I was thinking about US CVs for a moment, but IJN CV will have easier time going through some newbie teams and HIA in 0.4 looks rather strong. 

 

Other than that. I will probably go for the Minekaze, maybe I will grind some US lines (BBs and CA) to polish my aiming skills (let's be honest, I can not aim at all) and If the game will be succesful I will buy some premium ships to have fun with them (Atago was fun on the PT and I liked Bismark's stats that leaked). For the moment I don't plan to have more than one tier X, I will see how it goes. There is planned second IJN CV line so I am excited for that.

[Gl0cK_17]

Dont know yet,

Both DD lines are most likey to be my first 10s, but maybe ill do Jap cruisers instead of one of the DD lines first.

Its just for me all DD and Cruiser lines are fun to play, its a coin flip really.

 

And im usealy a bit faster with grinding then most clan mates so theres a good chance i end up divisioning with them on my 3rd or 4th choice
