Hi all,

 

Usage of "Premium Consumables" - do you guys use it on all your ships/tiers or use it selectively?

 

Thanks for info in advance!

I use premium repair in every ship, but others depend on what ship I am playing. Maximum of 2 premium consumables. For team battles, all premium.

All premium consumables (except spotter planes when I rarely play BBs), all ships.

 

Also using the camo with both bonuses for 22500 credits a game as well.

In random, I use 1 premium consumable on my premium ships (smoke for DD, healing for BB, depends on cruisers) as I know that the extra credits I will get will easily compensate for the cost.

 

In Rb or TB, I use as much premium consumables as I can (save for catapult fighter or spotter plane).

Repair on all, other skills depending on the ship. Heal more often than not, rarely AA, never planes or hydro. Only the cheaper camo for 8000 credits and then often not even that.

Repair always.

Heal always.

Smoke sometimes (depends which nation, and if I have superintendent)

Boost same as above.

AA never

Hydro never

Planes never

Depends on the credit situation but I always tend to use premium repair and heal on BBs and premium smoke on DDs.

In ships from about Tier IV onwards...  all have premium damage control (often referred to as "repair" as it is linked to the R button). 

 

DDs Premium Smoke. 

 

BBs Repair party.

 

By tier VIII I will run premium engine boost on my DDs.

 

I don't know why I bother with consumables on my DDs.  They never live long enough to use them all.  BB repair party has saved many a BB battle.

 

Never bother with the 'planes whether they are fighters or spotters.

 

When I play a cruiser which has emphasis AA cool down like the Kutozov or Atalanta (I rarely play them -  not a cruiser fan) I will run the premium AA.  If I do it guarantees that there will be no CVs in the battle.

Premium consumables that are not used during a game should not be consumed,  it is ilogic and it only has the purpose to make the economy harsher in order to increase the spending. I understand the need to increase the game revenue,  but not by ilogic means.

I don't use any at the moment, however the cases where I would use them are as follows:

 

  • Ships I have a hard time with and need to grind
  • Ships I really like, enjoy and am good at, so I can get even better.

 

These basically are the cases where playing is a matter of "the cost doesn't matter", because otherwise I'm a cheap bstrd.

I use some but it is a fairly inconsistent approach.  I think I need to start using prem repair more.  I use prem heals/smokes to compensate for not using superintendent when I would rather run something else but that depends on the ship.

Depends on what ship Im playing. USN DD, Premium smoke and Damage control

On BB Premium Repair

Cruiser, none or premium damage control.

Carrier, so far, nothing.

 

For ranked or team battles I am planning to fly all applicable pennants and all premium consumables.

depends on the tier for me, and how seriously I'm playing/how badly I feel the ship needs it. For T8-10, the extra expense from premium consumables is rather small compared to regular repairs so I'll generally use two (repair and heal for Cruisers and BBs, repair and smoke for DDs and Kutuzov, thinking about Premium Hydro for my Hindenburg when I get it), but earlier than that it's pretty much a need-to-have basis. Like, my Anshan and Kiev like to fire from smoke quite a bit so they get premium smoke, while I don't feel I need it on the Kamikaze - and on the lower tiers one premium consumable can often cost you more than a full repair of your ship... The new expensive double camo I use even more sparingly, pretty much only on Benson and Ibuki so far, because I feel like those two can make the best use of it, while the little bit of extra stealth doesn't help a Roon or Yamato as much because they're usually spotted anyway...
