The problem that is the ARP Nachi mission: aka "the omg its a Russian ship, kill it" mission

[Fiery_Kathy]

So I've been going over the ARP missions, in general I would say they are quite doable, altho EU's missions are easily the hardest out of all servers, no big suprise there (I'm very happy that WG lowered tier requirement for Takao to tier 8 though)
(Just a sidenote: I really think someone should post the ARP missions on the EU main portal since I wasn't aware of the existence of the new set of missions untill I opened my game yesterday)

There is just one thing that really bothers me, except the tier difference between SEA and EU, and that is the ARP Nachi mission.
Overall it's not a hard mission
-> Get 20 kills on US Ships 
-> Get 20 kills on IJN Ships
-> Get 20 kills on KM Ships
But this last one is a problem
-> Get 20 kills on USSR Ships

Why is this a problem? Let me explain.
The ARP Nachi mission is set in tier 8+, which means you get matched up from tier 6 to tier 10 , not really a problem on its own but the amount of Russian ships is really really low at these tiers.
USN, IJN and KM ships are very common at these tiers, USN has 4 lines at this tier (CA/CL | CV | BB | DD) and the same goes for the IJN tree. The KM has 2 lines ( CA/CL | BB) but thanks to hype and performance of these lines (especially the BBs) they are atm at least as common as the IJN or USN lines.
USSR only has 2 lines, a DD line (which almost doesnt get played since the skill required to play USSR destroyers is a lot higher) and the CA/CL line (which almost doesnt get played because they are quite squishy and BBs are generally flooding the matchmaking, which doesn't make them appealing to play)
This is quite a problem, I've done it myself already, "OMG ITS A RUSSIAN CRUISER I MUST SHOOT IT!" obviously missing my salvo before the enemy Kutuzov (the only Russian cruiser in the game) gets annihilated by my friend in the North Carolina. Now this is quite frustrating, both me, the enemy Kutuzov and my friend since he still needs to kill 19 of the ******* to finish that part of the mission.
I would gladly kill 30 IJN, USN and KM ships while return I would only have to kill 5-10 USSR ships.
This propably won't get changed, but I wanted to give my opinion about it anyway.

(but really, someone should post the ARP missions on the main site)
P.S. where the **** is Chihaya Gunzou, the ARP flag and the Haifuri flag?
P.S.S I know my photoshop skills are just godlike

Won't play any russian ships until 2017 

 

[Ferry_25]

Lol. I just started a similar thread. Suggesting to change it to 30, 30, 10, 10...

[159Hunter]

Hence I stopped playing my RU ships, way too much of a shell magnet atm.

[GenerallKrizmuz]

Make EU server great again

Considering the same. Planned to Chapyev. Don't fancy it now. Might grind my New Orleans as people might not bother shoots by me

[krazypenguin]

Yup, I'm really hoping that WG will look at numbers of people achieving the Nachi mission and adjust the requirements...

Khebab is a hated shell magnet regardless of missions but atm it's hell ^^

[Spellfire40]

Dubiiiiidu......

 

[Youti_God_of_Pantsu]

No problem it is easy
 

 Finish yesterday

 

[aboomination]

How many matches did it take you?

I have finish nachi before takao .

Then I guess it's luck 

[NyronGT]

Fragging is difficult when one has nothing but a pair of US cruisers. Barely managed to reach 1/5 correction: 1/3 in 60 battles.

[ShinGetsu]

I have to say tho, playing Kutuzov in these conditions is hilarious. Pop your smoke, and three radar comes instantaneously. I managed to brawl two german BB, one Mahan and two cruisers during one battle, and they soooo wanted to kill me they forgot I had torps, nasty AP at close range and allies behind me. 

[aboomination]

It was not to be - anyone who could focussed both their SN DD and half the fleet rushed into "C"

I think this may be another mission that needs to go down a level or changed in some other way. By simply changing the tier requirement down to VII you suddenly get an increased chance of encountering Soviet ships, in no small part due to the tier V premiums they have. Alternatively just make it 80 kills of ships of any nations.

 

Hopefully WG track that stats and adjust it accordingly. 

[Fiery_Kathy]

of

 

I dont think they will :c

i dont think it needs to drop a level, more of a case of changing/toning down the Requirements a bit (which has been said a few times i think)

Personally I would like to see it at tier 6 like our friends at SEA

[Fino_93]

I think that they simply could change it to "sink 80 ships" it's the same situation about killstealing but in General "trying to sinking enemy ships" is the base of the game ao it won't be a problem and it doesn't take you in a situation where you have to decide between the perfect target for the match and the ship that you Need to kill for mission in range.

[SomeoneYouKnow2]

Come on guys it's only been a few days. We have 2 months to complete this mission and all the other ARP ones!

doesn't take away that EU missions are a bit more unfair than the other servers. 

[Gnomus]

I was planning to play normally for a month. Then I might check if I have gotten all needed Russian ships.

 

I agree that something like 30, 30, 20, 10 would have been easier than current, but there's plenty of time, no need to stress over it now. If I still lack several ships when there's only 1-2 weeks left it's another matter, but having one extra "Myoko" now or within a month isn't really something to fuzz over.
