Orangeminus Players 105 posts 5,590 battles Report post #1 Posted November 24, 2017 Came back to the game a few days ago after leaving a looong time a go so getting back into the swing of things and with BF sales I can't decide on what to buy. I've done researching on best premiums but still can't make my mind up so hopefully you guys can suggest something I was initially thinking of getting - https://eu.wargaming.net/shop/wows/specials/7282/ 30 days prem + 13500 doubloons could get me a few ships (again don't know which so suggestions welcome) But I'm wondering if you guys can think of better options I was thinking Warspite+Arizona would be useful for my UK/US BB line but I'm also open to Scharnhorst as I see lots recommending her or even Graf Spee but ultimately I'm looking for ships that are fun, earn decent xp to train crew and make decent credits so even ships like Lo-Yang are possibility for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not worth it with it not including the overpowered premiums and containing a lot of trash tier premiums I wouldn't use. Besides who in their right mind would spend £300+ on a free to play game, I could buy a PS4 Pro for that lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[THROW] wilkatis_LV [THROW] Players 5,061 posts 10,702 battles Report post #4 Posted November 24, 2017 Premium time is a good thing, and I think they had like a 90 day prem time discounted now? As for ships - if you want some look at the low tier ones for now, as you simply haven't reached the higher tiers yourself. It's a good rule of thumb to never go for a higher tier premium than the highest line (silver) ship of that class that you've played Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Migulaitor Players 748 posts Report post #7 Posted November 24, 2017 Your max tier is 6 atm (Not stat shaming, just a fact) Before looking at it I would say something like 13500 gold...Torpitz (Or maybe Scharn) and Lo Yang. So you get a BB, 2 cruisers and 2 DDs. Now, considering you shouldnt exceed your max tier... (You can always buy the high tier ships but I would learn a bit before using them) I would go for Warspite and Arizona, Scharn is amazing but it has the usual 30% discount, so no rush to get it. Take advantage of tiers 6 and 8, they are the ones with the biggest discount atm. If you like cruisers, Molotov is supposed to be amazing but has no armor. I dont know if Anshan is on sale because I have but I can totally recomend it, even more with the introduction of the new DDs. If you really want to get Graf Spee or Scharn, dont waste your money, forget whats I said about max tier and pick Scharn, its just way better and really enjoyable to play. I hope it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I'm getting exactly what I want If I bought the Armada bundle which I did consider, I'd be getting a bunch of ships I don't want which add zero value to me for the bundle so it's not worth the money therefore crazy for anyone buying it who isn't going to use every single ship. Good deal though if you plan on using everything and sticking with the game for 3+ years 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spent probably half that on WoT premiums and premium time too, it's like I said though above, good deal if you want all the ships and know you'll stick around to get a few years worth of fun out of it but crazy if you're not interested in most of the ships, if it had all the ships that aren't available any more then I'd probably be tempted, I mean they don't even include Kidd in the bundle for absolutely no reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #13 Posted November 24, 2017 The doubloon discount on Graf Spee, Dunkerque, and some of the other moderate tier premiums make them very worthwhile.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orangeminus Players 105 posts 5,590 battles Report post #16 Posted November 24, 2017 So buy Ultimate treat for £41 get 30 days prem Use the 13500 doubloon to buy Sharn - 6650+dock = 6800 Loyang - 5600+dock = 5750 Left over 950 doubloon Or another suggestion for ships ? I could get 3 T6 ships for roughly the same, I'm just not sure what I should get Warspite+Arizona+Lenin works I guess Warspite+Arizona+Graf Spee also Warspite+Arizona+Dunkerque Sharn+Graf Spee+Lenin/Molotov I could stretch to 2 ultimate treat packs as well but then I'm entering prices where I may as well get one of the ship bundles like United (which is ok but sucks there's no US ships) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[UTW] ShinGetsu Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 8,985 posts 7,359 battles Report post #17 Posted November 24, 2017 Lo Yang is great fun. I would have suggested Harekaze usually but it's not in the shop anymore so that's that. Kidd seems very good too. Lo Yang get an OP hydro to fish DDs in their smoke while Kidd got OP AA and a heal.

Now there are idiots who bought those ships one at a time... I'm extremely sure at least one of us did.... Ok, ok. I don't have Kaga, Enterprise and Saipan. Because I'd rather play a RN cruiser then a CV. but it's the principle... Heck yours idiotly even considered taking the freaking armada to get my hands on Albany... But not even I am that luny...

So do you think Scharn+Atago or Scharn+Loyang or Atago+Loyang ? On paper 2 T8 premiums with 30days premium for £41 seems the best deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
