Scus me but its so hard to change a mission when a shitload of people are complaing or maybe you cant because you will need a 1TB patch for it?How about changing the mission to 10 rusian ships.

Fair enough. Might as well change the restriction to T6 Russian ship (or T5 if in faildivision). Ah, just any Russian ship will do as long as your opponent is T8 or higher.

Heh..

Just had a division on my side that teamkilled their burning russian friend to deny the enemy the kill.

 

Looks like those Kill X of X nation missions improve the gameplay just like they did in  WoT.:)

Well we will see how many aktually got the takao and the nachi because in my view its just a pain to even do the mission.

 

What is the tought behind designing such a mission lovly WG EU? I DONT GET IT!!!!!

 

We already had those topics so many times that its slowly pissing more and more people off and the fun thing about "just play the game, maybe you will get it" is just shitty design because we have plenty of people that dont want to have 4 myokos in there port and the will get it and those poeple who want to have it will get DENIET.

 

My best advice for you at WG EU is please dont look at statistics like how many people got the ship. You should rather look at those people WHO want this ship!

i am the only one that will pay to get nachi, or are there more that want to do the same?

 

i've read somewhere that they can't sell arp content for contract, i suppose it's not a lie cause knowing wg they will have introduced them as premium ships instead of giving them for free...

If it takes you so long to meet Soviet ships, you may be queuing outside peak ours or just have really bad luck - out of today's Tier VIII+ matches, there was only one battle with no Soviet ship anywhere, about two with it on my team and majority had at least one ship on each team - and overall, given the amount of battles from the beginning of November (which was not only below my average, but also below server average), it would be rather something like 1 successful kill per 4-5 battles (meaning far more encounters - I definitely did not win 'em all ;)).

Best tier is probably VIII, as you have wider spectrum of tiers in your MM pool (two up, two down). In any case - since it depends on MM - it is best not to stress yourself with "Hunting for Soviet ships", but taking them as targets of opportunity while you do what should be the primary goal of logging intot he game - which is, actually playing, progressing the tech trees, training captains etc.

 

In any case, managed to catch the last one today - there were actually two Tashkents on the enemy team, so managed to catch the second one as it was creeping around our flank and into our back. I think the final score also clearly shows that it is better to focus on your main mission.

Ive played over 200 games since the mission started, and I still need to kill Russian cruisers.

I'm terribly sorry to say it but imo this is the worst, worst, worst,worst decision the EU team has EVER made. Tier VIII mission for a tier VII cruiser, really? (while Asia gets it at tier VI and can get easily completed in a week at most) Do you hate the EU Community this much that we need to get all the stupid missions?

I literally hate playing this game thanks to that mission, knowing that I propably can't finish the mission since exams are right around the corner, giving no chance of ever getting this ship again since it is the last one of my ARP collection and also the last time it will be available. 

 

Thank you very much.

 

and PS: Go home with your DD bull****. "you need to play cruisers and DDs to kill the Soviets" a good mission shouldn't at all force me to play any class in particular especially not DDs.

I've been playing Love Live Festival on my phone the entire time recently because it was more appealing than this game. And don't get me wrong, I bloody used to love this game,I made videos about it weekly, now the mission just made it a living hell.

Edit: this topic has 14 pages now, if there was no problem it wouldn't be so long. It is not that if you don't see a problem, that there magically is no problem. I really can't comprehend how you can think this is fair (and I am doing my second year of Uni now so I'm not an idiot) 

2nd Edit: the other servers are just laughing at EU, and if you don't believe this, just jump on the reddit discord server and ask them yourself. We are the ffing laughing stock of all servers. To the point that I'm often filled with shame when I say I play on EU, which often gets greeted with extreme compassion.

I got mine a couple days ago. Thankfully. She has the voice I wanted from all the ARP ships, so... yes. I'm happy. But I wasn't happy with the mission. I was stuck on 15-16 for quite a while... but then I used a North Carolina built for stealth and used the concealment to my advantage. Maybe that will help someone, NC is pretty much perfect for this mission.

I had good success the last four day in my Tirpitz and Mogami. I'm usually fairly aggressive in the former and I was able to close enough with a Kutuzow and a Schors and blast them to bits. The latter is good for hunting Soviet DDs. Still puts me at merely 8/20, while the other nations are long done. :(

Same here.   had my other 20s many weeks ago.  now with 3 weeks left I am sitting at 9 Russians (missing 11).  whenever I see one in a game I find that they are on the other side of the map and everyone focus fires them and they are dead....

 

I play as much in my Russians as possible to help out the rest of the server, just wish more people would do that.

finally, the mission is end. all the ARP sisters are in port. i can play like a normal person, now.

 

 

at the end the idea of the mission wasn't terrible, but the genious of WG EU fu***d up all like allways with the stupid thing of the soviet kills.

 

but who care, it's over.

I started the ARP Missions with selling the Ranger and buying Ibuki. Today I finished the grind with Ibuki and bought ZAO and just now I got my last RU ship and finished the ARP Missions. I know it is just a "stupid" game, but I am really relieved somehow...^^

I already can not wait to see there results how many actually got the nachi and how many RN where actually played at the end of the Year.

 

I already gave up on the Nachi. I just need the TAKAO!

Meanwhile on NA: Soviet Weekend

 

 

"Ehy, you know what could make EU players mad? we can take the mission that they are asking us for and give it to NA server that doesn't need it!"

 

seriously, i can't understand how people can buy stuff from a company like this...

I feel really bad - playing in Atlanta on Hot Spot and spot a cruiser coming into what would be A. Had positioned myself for such an eventuality so unleashed afull salvo of AP as he hove into view. As they hit, I saw a line in chat saying leave the Russian for those who need the kill - and was then abused for stealing it - a dd had torped him and an Atago seemed to want to kill him. Was the first kill of the game and playing on a Mac, I didn't know the identity till he was dead! Apologised but this mission does rather go against normal play! What made it worse was that I really don't bother with the ARP ships - seem to have a fair fleet of them but just not my thing. Would love to donate them to those who do but no way to do this. Have just had a blue cruiser added a week ago I think!

Don't apologise. You did the right thing, and the guy that wants to kill Russian ships has to earn them.
