ARP Takao? nah, prepare for the ARP Nachi pain

[deadly_if_swallowed]

Ships usually have nationalities, not religious affiliation.

[togMOR]

 

The thing is those stats are 1 week old, meaning that they don't reflect current situation. The stats you're seeing there reflect the special mission for Russian ships that lasted just 1 weekend for other nations but like 10 days for RU ships (for whatever reasons).

 

I´m aware that those figures are kind of "outdated" when published (calculating takes apparently some time ^^) and will probably not remain that high over the remainder of the events duration.

 

 

Yes, there is absolute increase in number of games with Russian ships, but what is important, is their relative abundance. And it didn't change much:

 

That is true. The ratio between the relevant "target nations" (e.g. Russians vs. US/GER/JAP) didn´t change that much.

However, according to WG´s statement (MrConway recently) the Nachi mission developes "as intended" ^TM.

To me that means, the number of Nachis won by now are within their expected margin and within the predicted/wanted overall number at the end.

 

My personal guess: The only thinkable scenario by which they´re going to change the requirements is when the Redshirts cannot get their russian ships in time to finish the mission

[Salkeaner]

I have already done the ARP Missions, but i think the Nachi Mission is bad designed. A change would be great.

At the Moment i drive my Kustow in every second battle to increase the number of russian ships for the other players.

Althought we startet a survey in the german part of the forum.

You can give marks for the Missions. One is the best mark and six is the most bad.

There is a mark for every single mission and the last is how do you think about the whole event. I think the ship names would be the same in ohter languages.

Even if you don't understand the language you can vote or start an survey on your on part on the forum. So maybe we are able to show how the players think about the mission.

Sorry for my bad english.

Have a nice day.

Hi,

I - as you here gathered had reaaally hard and difficult time obtaining Nachi and joining her into my fleet.

 

but i will tell you something

 

Nachi voice-over is the best voice i heard in World of Warships and it is totally worth it.

Her VO surely sounds the least (if at all) annoying (not that i have anything against other miss captains...).

Yup. To me it looks like our "EU Team" decided that only "The Elite"  (some 10-15% rich T10 having-them-all fellas)

... plus maybe another 10% other random luckers  (for example, having ready & equipped T9 gunboat or CV) should get all those poor T7-T8 ships (and, for example, that nice flag for it).

That's why when those dusted off their T10 mighty boats "the completion rate"^TM was fine.

T10 guys managed, and who cares about the rest. 

 

 

But they could just not be shy and explicitly set the requirements for this (elsewhere T4,T6,co-op...) as T10. Or at least T9... Oh wait. 

[togMOR]

Finally ...

 

 

Thanks to a greedy Kutusov ...

 

Most of the "hunting the Russians" matches i have done in my T8 ships including the Chapayev. A few battles in D.Donskoi, but with very limited success in terms of sunk Ivans.

Usually I became "the Russian" for somebody of the enemy team in the Donskoi ...

​Wow

Kongó and Hiei are good in my opinion, much better than english or standard japanese. They are not annoying - should say that are much more subdued than the rest.

It is important to hear soothing woman voice when u get shi* from the left, from the right and from the chat messages to appease your nerves ))

 

But Nachi.. is incomparably the best.

[CaptainThunderWalker]

Yeah, Nachi's voiceover sounds amazing. Shame I won't get her and I have to do with Takao and Kirishima. Takao's voiceover isn't that annoying either (I feared the worst when I saw "tsundere" written on the forums, but I don't really notice it that much in the ingame voiceover - she sounds much less angry than Kongo, for example).

 

Maybe I'll try to get Nachi in the future, but I don't think I can frag the Ruskies in time.

[Gojuadorai]

final did them all.

2nd last was the nachi

last was actually the torp hits.

[Querulous]

In how many games I wonder ? Seems to take forever to even get a decent chance at a Russian kill and there is always someone else going all out for it too.

[Sonic_157]

 

Ok guys. Finally, my prayers to RNGesus were heard and i was blessed with a miracle!

Behold...

​You still have to do kills

[CaptainThunderWalker]

Yeah, I rather have one Russian ship on the opposing team that suicides straight into one of my torpedoes than five that are on the other side of the map and die before I can reach them.

And not a single one on your team... wow. I can just imagine the disappointment on the enemy team. Especially from the Kutuzovs, if they, like me, take them out in order to meet other Soviet ships (btw, that tactic appears to not work terribly well).

[SteDorff]

Made 20 just now 3 yesterday and last 4 today. Sunk Russ DD s most of the time (mostly one available each game if there was any Russ at all) just watch what is capped and full spead ahead survive long enough to sink it but a lot of games yes. Off time hours or weekend morning early afternoon I had more success sometimes it even seemed as no one was doing the mission while crowded hours I only got a few sinks and high tier matches where the entire team was after them.

I've found a better way of estimating russkie DD's initial position. I look at teams composition and compare it to my team's spawn points. By mirroring them, i receive information regarding wanted target's placement. By knowing this, i can narrow down the map's areas where the target may show up.

[Nishizumi77]

 

Yup, pretty much...

[Querulous]

Same reaction when team mates all go after the Russians, ignoring all else

[loppantorkel]

Honestly, I haven't seen that problem in any of the games I've been in. I'm on 16 Russian ships and no more kill stealing than usual.

[krazypenguin]

Was on 7 Russian kills when I started playing on Friday - got 3 in the evening and 2 more today (Saturday), so am now on 12, i.e. 8 to go.  Also, need 31 torp hits for the Kirishima mission but then I'm done with ARP :-)

[Ranyxx]

 

So, I've managed to complete all the ARP missions.  To complete Nachi, I played no different than I normally do.  Didn't play high tiers any more than usual.  In fact, I probably got most of my kills while I myself was sailing a T8.  Didn't go "OMG! Russian ship on enemy team.  Must YOLO!"  Nothing.  In fact, I generally didn't even bother noticing or singling out enemy ships because they were Russian.  Had a fair number of Russian ships "kill secured" by teammates after doing 95%+ of the damage to them.  No worries.  The only difference in my play was that *I* didn't kill secure a Russian ship when a teammate had done most of the damage to it assuming 1) there was no risk to us losing the game or, 2) that that ship wasn't going to get away and I knew that my teammate would finish them after their guns had reloaded.  In those cases, I held my fire and let my teammate get a +1 to their mission count.

 

I've also, as promised, been taking out my Kutuzov regularly to help the community out.  Unfortunately, I've only lost and died in one match.  So, I guess I haven't been much help after all.  :/

 

Really, I appreciate (and agree) that it is irritating that the requirements are different depending upon which server you're on.  However, I don't think that any of you should have a problem finishing it when even I have managed to do so and there's still around 6 weeks left to the event.  I've seen numerous Nachis in game and, even I have managed to complete it without even trying.  GL & HF.

I think you are exaggerating a bit with those parts I marked above. You are a unicum player with Yamato, Montana, Fletcher, Fubuki, Kutuzov, Benson and Bismarck. Nice & good for you, but this is way above average, and has nothing to do with ability of most players to complete the missions. Try only having NCal & Amagi like me (recently fortunately I finally got Takao, too).

 

Regarding "numerous Nachis" - during week ending at 2016-11-12 on EU server were only 187 games (out of ~2 millions T5-T9 games total) in Nachi played by ... 9 players. So 9 people on the whole server managed to get the ship in time shorter than almost 2 weeks and played it that week. Unfortunately data for last week are still in preparation, but I certainly dont see "numerous" Nachis. If I recall correctly, I've seen 1 (one) in tens of games during last week.

 

 Honestly, I haven't seen that problem in any of the games I've been in. I'm on 16 Russian ships and no more kill stealing than usual.

 

Oh, really? Sure, how would you, playing mostly Gearing, Fletcher and Benson (in that order) during last 10 days. Another rich (or happily having high-tier gunboats at hand) guy who "haven't seen that problem". Geeez. Look further than end of your nose.

 

 

Why there is still no response from Coordinators or Devs on their obviously bad decisions regarding the EU requirements? "Completion rate" OK? Designing tier 7-8 ship missions for T9-T10 players (while all other servers allow T4-T6) is fine?
