[OM] ghostbuster_ Players 4,996 posts 21,881 battles Report post #8 Posted April 6, 2016 I understand, you really want to get yamato. But you will be dissapointed in current game situation. Yamato is a great ship, nobody can deny it. But atm MM is ridiculous. If you try to sail your yamato, you will get min. 4-5 DDs in enemy team. I can suggest you to grind a DD if you want to be able to play. If you want to have fun just grind a CA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needy_Game Beta Tester 346 posts 8,861 battles Report post #10 Posted April 6, 2016 I can't agree more, ghostbuster, that's what I discovered at T9, and when I finally got my Yamato, I only played maybe once a day due to torp and HE spam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DUDS] Crooq_Lionfang Beta Tester 1,999 posts 6,434 battles Report post #13 Posted April 6, 2016 Ah ok. I guess the "you really want to get yamato" threw me off, so it looked more about the ship itself than the discount on principle. You're right though, we are used to them getting quite a lot more than EU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lladdir_ Players 378 posts 3,418 battles Report post #14 Posted April 6, 2016 I don't actually care about the Yamato as like I said I watch Ichase's streams and I've seen the torpedo soup that they can become, I was more commenting on the fact that the American servers get this while we get literally nothing right now.

Xerkics Beta Tester 1,218 posts Report post #15 Posted April 6, 2016 It's because wargaming has been desperate for a long time to corner American markets but the Americans have certain standards they expect so therefore the usual bs we get here that wouldn't fly if you wanna attract players in the NA also I believe the NA WG team is actually competent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lladdir_ Players 378 posts 3,418 battles Report post #17 Posted April 6, 2016 Okay so I finally looked at the actual missions for this and they are ridiculous. tier 3-5 get 2 or more hits and get a hotel yankee and india bravo terrathree. tier 6-7 get 2 or more hits and earn 50% extra experience. tier 8-10 get 2 or more hits and earn 50% extra captain experience. And that isn't including the credit discount for the ships. I don't care much for the bundels but those rewards 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NA is complaining about EU being threatened better, EU is doing the same thing the other way around. I'm worried I might run out of popcorn soon™. Yeah, it's a bit silly. Whenever something good happens to NA, the Europeans immediately complain that they are getting shafted and when the EU players get something nice it's the Americans that complain about being shafted. There are without a doubt differences and not giving the same bonuses to both regions might be bad, but either way they both enjoy some advantages and I wouldn't say that either of them is really worse off than the other at the current time. 2015 was a different matter. In recent times NA players have been complaining a lot about how much better the EU players have it because of all the premium ship sales and ARP missions. The second set of ARP missions (Hiei, Haruna) is still not available to the NA players and they also haven't had Warspite, Tirpitz and Blyskawica on offer for ages, especially not unbundled. Anyway, they should probably rename the mission to "Fast Track to spend a lot of money on a ship that will mostly sit in port" because of matches like this: https://streamable.com/ntq0 And let's not forget about the repair costs. Despite all the torpedo soup I still enjoy the Yamato gameplay, but I'm not playing it anyway because I'm grinding a lot of other lines and the Yamato is one of the worst ships in the game to grind credits with it. Even with premium and repair flag you are not guaranteed to turn a profit despite 100K+ damage. Edited April 6, 2016 by Kurbain 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HOTEL] darkwingfighter Players 213 posts 7,882 battles Report post #25 Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) So basically NA gets easy IJN BB grind, -20% repair cost for T 8-10 While EU gets more ship waifu? I would say that's equivalent exchange. Edited April 6, 2016 by darkwingfighter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
