I've just finished a game in my fuso today and I checked my ship docks and realised there was a campbeltown(premium British tier 3 derstroyer) which I've never bought and my doubloons values haven't changed. Furthermore, there was a Captain with 12 points for the boat as well. Is this some kind of event thats happening right now?

Blessed are those who not knows what is going on in this game (the buffs, nerfs, changes in armour, etc) :teethhappy:

 

This event is a "go and prepair" for a RN cruisers.

Would say average. Not impressed by her guns, but torpedoes are not bad.

 

Ok. Wanted to know is it worth of grinding missions for it.

Of course - you will have 12 point captain.

 

On side with that, if there is no captain, would it be worth it? Image it like a Texas ship, where you have 2 point captain.

It's a free ship! It is always worth! If you don't like, sell it and have a free port slot

I see this event/mission other way - while you just play (doing dmg, killing ships, etc) you will get something for free.

I would not do this if for a Campbeltown (DD) I had to do only things that suits DDs (like torpedo attacks).

 

And Texas for free? Gimme gimme. Even it would rust in the port - I prefer higher tiers (so yes Campbeltown is something I would not use often but captain is awesome).

Yep, mine's doing a little training on the ship whilst he's waiting for his black swan to start up the RNCL line

Not every premium ship is worth. IMO Diana and Texas are not so great, but that is just example.

As I know only way to get Texas is if you register to game via someones invitation. I got few days mine Texas (and first day Diana) but mostly I liked was 80k free EXP, 3 mil credits, all flags x25, coming with him.

I love how he misses everything on the launcher, everything in game telling him about the event, finds it in his port and then manages to miss the news page and come to the forum to ask what is going on.

 

These are the people that sail down the map edge, don't defend when they can save a loss, don't know what a mini map is and torp their team mates from the back line.

Wait what? Both the Diana and the Texas are most definately good ships... And you can buy the texas in the premium shop?

 

edit: or you mean only way to get it for free? Cause in that case you need to change your expectations... Getting free premium things in a WG game is kinda rare (though the past 2 years it seems they have started to do marathon missions and such).

It might only be a low tier Destroyer but a free premium ship is still a free premium and you get a 12 point Captain to boot so what is there to dislike and to be honest the mission's to earn it are not exactly hard, maybe earning the 50k base XP is probably the most challenging of the 3 but you do get a whole month to complete them.

The 12 point commander is worth grinding for on his own.  I already have the ship and will sell it as I close in on the  end of the missions.

I kinda like this ship, I set voice to pirate which was a lot of fun too...

 

It's a challenge to play... I like playing destroyers anyway... getting to known this campbeltown.

 

Weak guns in the front, but 3 of them... wiggling will allow to fire all 3 which is kinda funny.

 

Torpedoes a bit weird but can be stealth fired lol.

 

This ship can stealth fire cannons too a little bit.

 

I played some amazing games with it... Unfortunately tier 3 is full of noobs, so still had some losses.

 

Last game I played I killed a CV... then fired at the wrong BB.... it was outside the base flag... so we lost because flag was captured... rest of team was so poor shot or out of range they couldn't get flag to reset ?! HUH wtf ?!

 

Currently this new DD screwed my win rate for this shop down to 33%.

 

6 battles played in total ! 4 losses, 2 wins ! ;) Hmm hopefully it's win rate will go up. Ofcourse I was experimenting somewhat to see if it could kill a cv ! ;) And how it gets bombed... yup... investing into gameplay analysis... resulting in losses, hopefully later resulting in wins ! My total winrate is almost above 50% lol ! So this new ship took it a bit down again lol.

Only reason I ever considered to sell Campbeltown is that it is only tier III. That makes this ship uselles for almost all daily, missions or challenges ever..
 

But on the other side.... this is 35 knots destroyer with powerfull torpedos that can hit from 8.5 kilometers!, and in tier III/ IV games. that means you can play this nimble ship and deliver strong torpedos to Slow battleships like Nassau, Wyoming,operated frequently by noobs. ..... A sealclub hunting I really like... This is from my point of view saving grace for Campbeltown so.. I keep it.
