Dominus_Astra Players 68 posts 5,077 battles Report post #1 Posted July 4, 2017 Hey all, So I've been farming the crap out of free xp on all my premiums and tier X battleships and I'm sat at around 350-400k. Intially this was to get the Mighty 'Mo and farm dem credits like no tomorrow (thats literally the only reason). However it would seem that the RN battleship line is coming fast, faster than I thought so should I just turn in my free xp for the 'Mo or use them all for the RN line...thoughts..

VC381 Players 2,928 posts 6,549 battles Report post #2 Posted July 4, 2017 It depends on how much you care about playing the whole British line. If you just can't stand low tiers or only want to play specific ships and don't have grind time, sure Free XP British BBs. But if you're planning to play all of them anyway, why waste it when you can just play the line in order? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominus_Astra Players 68 posts 5,077 battles Report post #3 Posted July 4, 2017 I'd prefer to start the line around QE and skip the lower tiers, from there play as normal, unless i get fed up with them. My sweet spot is 7-9 for battleships as you get a mix of being top dog and and high tiers and if conqueror is anything to go by on the rumours shes a beast so something to aim for.

[72] mikelight1805 [72] Beta Tester 453 posts 14,842 battles Report post #4 Posted July 4, 2017 I personally like to grind the lines, as the lower tiers can usually be ground through quite quickly. Also makes me feel like I've earned the higher tier ships. I got half way to Mo, and exchanged the rest on an additional XP conversion event. I'm glad i did, as i am usually short on credits, as i never really sell ships and am a bit of a collector. I wasn't too taken with the US BB line, and only wanted the Iowa anyway. I'm not the best at BBs, but i love the 16" guns. I've gone for the accuracy mod, and if doesn't disappoint! My recommendation is to save for the Missouri and grit your teeth with the low tier RN BBs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ASEET] Gnomus [ASEET] Alpha Tester 313 posts 19,980 battles Report post #5 Posted July 4, 2017 I would say save your free exp to Missouri. It is good ship and can only be researched with free exp. British BB's should be fun to play and even if it cost some credits playing through them should not take that long. There you can use all exp, daily win bonuses, premium time, flags/camo etc. to speed up the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #6 Posted July 4, 2017 If you've got the XP then maybe Missouri but have a stash of XP to upgrade RN BBs maybe and grind them at top spec... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[YEET] _KEANO_ Players 55 posts 18,902 battles Report post #7 Posted July 14, 2017 In the same position, Im waiting for th enext xp conversion then going for Missouri, grinding a line helps you learn the style, especially a new line! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rvfharrier Weekend Tester 805 posts 4,630 battles Report post #9 Posted July 19, 2017 This is an incredibly easy question to answer. You can only unlock the Missouri through free XP which takes an inordinately long time to build up. You can unlock the British BBs simply through playing them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VC381 Players 2,928 posts 6,549 battles Report post #10 Posted July 20, 2017 Well, having seen the RN line, with what looks like no real ships above T7, I would definitely say free XP the Missouri and just play the RN line slowly and actually enjoy the mid-tier ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferry_25 Players 4,392 posts 12,107 battles Report post #11 Posted July 24, 2017 I have unlocked Mo. "Honestly." Didn't spend 1 doubloon in converting and I like that ship so much. But in my case: grinding the lines is for me part of the fun! With or without Aslain, I can't frankly say I'm seeing the coming RN BB line now. I'm relieved beyond believe they are able to fire AP. I was frankly very worried they'd pull the same MF stunt on that line by only giving HE like the psychosis of giving the cruiser line AP only. That's the only reason why I've been avoiding the cruiser line like pest patients. In my experience those pingpong balls are pathetic at best. The trick is simple: put your nose to the smoke and let them fire for all eternity to receive that 1000 lucky HP of dmg. But luckily the BB's are equiped with AP (so far). And boy do I find them to look dope!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TEA] Robber_Baron Players 1,322 posts 7,981 battles Report post #13 Posted July 26, 2017 I would try the RN BBs before using free XP, or at the very least wait for some reviews. Crap ships can always be skipped, while fun ships are, well, fun to play and it shouldn't take too long to reach tier 6. I got Missouri myself, and initially I hated it because of some crap games. But now after some more games I stand corrected. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently saving free XP for the Mighty Mo going 250k so far thanks to my 19 point cap and the Belfast. If she is anything like the Iowa she's going to be a fun ship.

Her armour is stronger in terms of thickness, she can equip better guns, her AA is just as good, she is slower but much stealthier and better handling. Mo's only advantages are more health, faster top speed , radar and her credit earnings. So its poor to compare Lion to Mo but more reasonable when you compare Lion to Iowa where Iowa only has Health and Speed over Lion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the citadel layout like? They're superior in Penertration and damage but I think the range and velocity is lower. The Citadel layout if i'm recalling correctly is slightly lower than the Waterline. This link shows Lion vs Iowa I know the ship line itself has been updated but I don't think Lion has been changed much. http://bit.ly/2vFpjPd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[GOT] GoT_PcDealer Players 386 posts 16,101 battles Report post #22 Posted August 11, 2017 I am at 712.000 Free XP since September. Hearing about the news of a Free XP Brittish Premium bb I would still say get the Missouri. I wouldn't like to miss the Trump Wagon in case the possibility to get it ends. Also, you can grind the low tier RN bb's (I would wait a few weeks during daytime because of the massive people who want to grind it to avoid long waiting times. I usually take out my dd's :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutoni Beta Tester 14 posts 2,905 battles Report post #23 Posted August 13, 2017 British BB line is a historical and has inaccurate armour model past Tier 6. With key classes missing. Key classes having unrealistically weak armour and such like. I'd get Missouri tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SiriusYasenBacon Players 100 posts 8,440 battles Report post #25 Posted August 14, 2017 If you do all 3 of the british missions to get the 3 blueprints (https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/common/fish-and-ships/) you can start at T5 from which it'll take you only a few games to get to QE. So definitely save your free XP either for Missouri or to skip stock modules of the high tier RN BBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
