simonmd Players 801 posts 1,673 battles Report post #1 Posted October 12, 2015 Just finished a game in a Minekaze and when I got back to port, I find a T5 German Cruiser sat there. Had a quick game, then got Zero XP or earnings. Whats going on, where did it come from and why zero points, is it some kind of random public test of it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharana Alpha Tester 2,271 posts 1,040 battles Report post #2 Posted October 12, 2015 You made 4 kills in that game and was awarded with this german for test drive. It will be removed on 19th. You should earn money exp with it, but probably they forgot about it and will fix it tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simonmd Players 801 posts 1,673 battles Report post #3 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Ah I see, well its nice to get some kind of reward and I seem to be doing well in DDs lately its true lol! Well so far, it's nice to have a change but I must say two things about this German cruiser, awful turret speed and paper thin armor. The guns are pretty good though, feels very 'Axis' and is a good match for a Furutaka. Edited October 12, 2015 by simonmd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simonmd Players 801 posts 1,673 battles Report post #4 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Just had second game, as you can see, zero. Oh well, I didnt do that well anyway and it's not like I can upgrade it anyway, however, thought WG should know about it. EDIT: Look at the pic below, you'll note I got sunk by a Russian Murmansk, very historic, I bet he was pleased!! Edited October 12, 2015 by simonmd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quack_yu Players 1 post 1,811 battles Report post #8 Posted October 13, 2015 Same here, had like 10 games with a Königsberg, mostly 0 credits, 0 experience, regardless of win or lose. The captain is at 0/2100 xp from the start, but the ship already has 3000 XP. There were some games when I got exactly 40k credits and 500 XP rounded, and a good win with 100K credits and 1500 XP (x1.5). Looks strange to meee, like someoooone forgot to turn on somethiiiing....

Press the ! in the bottom right corner, and then hover your mouse cursor over the last game... you'll see exp and credit gained there (dno why that isent shown in the post game stats).

Vaderan Alpha Tester 1,103 posts 2,741 battles Report post #13 Posted October 13, 2015 Do we have any confirmed information, what will happen to the upgrade modules, you can buy for 125000, 250000 and 500000 credits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simonmd Players 801 posts 1,673 battles Report post #14 Posted October 13, 2015 I know you can upgrade the hull for things like better AA and main battery range for only a token 1 credit and 1xp. I think I'd avoid spending anything else on it though, hardly worth it for just over a weeks play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's such a rare thing for me to get that many. Yeah. 3 is common, 4 is rare. I need to go out in Kongo and hope to be top tier - but it's completely not my play style to maximise kills in bbs.

That way he can finish off my Kongo cripples with his Furataka Then I can do the same the other way round. Except I don't have ijn cruisers... Hmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually don't go for kills normally unless I have to or there is nothing else to shoot at. That being said it only took me 2 games to get the Königsberg. First game in the Fuso 3 kills, second game in the Fuso 4 kills. When you don't think about getting those kills they seem to fall into your lap regardless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
