Receive 250,000 potential damage in a tier 5-10 cruiser in a single game, survive and win? And this awards 1 star? Am I overlooking something or is this task completely absurd? I could see a tier 10 cruiser survive maybe 2-3 times its max hp in a game but 5 times? AND you still have to win? This task seems utterly unreasonable to me.

In a tier 8+ Cruiser over 1,000,ü00 is not rare. To be honest this mission should almost read be shot at and Survive 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is still an absurd amount to have to survive. Not bounce them dude, he can shoot at you, you hit the breaks/turn and he misses. French cruisers are pretty nasty for that mission. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a Hindenburg game lately, where a Shima targeted my BB behind me (he didnt know i was there before he launched the torps) I had to take one on the nose tho, i exploded (ofc lol), and havent had so much potential damage (got only shot 2 or 3 times by enemy hindenburg before my match ended ~~) Just now, Tyrendian89 said: if anything, it's really hard not to complete that on a survived win... 250k is pretty much just two NewMex/Fuso broadsides... Or u play RN Cruiser, win, survive, get 3 kills but noone really shoots u, even outside of smoke Otherwise would have worked tho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(potential damage is not a one of the post game stats that I tend to look at, so had no idea what would be a 'normal' value, learning all the time :) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CBS] Allied_Winter Players 6,242 posts 10,755 battles Report post #13 Posted December 24, 2017 If I remember the patch notes correctly: Any shell that lands in a circle with 500m around your ship will be counted towards potential damage. Otherwise the 2 million I once had in my donskoi (iirc) wouldn't be possible. Greetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NWP] 159Hunter Players 3,966 posts 19,002 battles Report post #14 Posted December 24, 2017 I was actually worried, was hugging islands to much that nobody was shooting me. Thank god for the Montana that insisted on trying to kill me ( and ignoring the broadside Yamato at 4km from him ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldschoolGaming_YouTube Beta Tester 2,557 posts 14,412 battles Report post #15 Posted December 24, 2017 In stronger T10 cruisers and BB played right its not un common to survive with 2.5 to 3 million potential damage. Khaba is a great ship to do missions like these in. Everybody likes to shoot at a Khaba but few manage to hit it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And this awards 1 star? You can check under your profile. It shows how mutch average potential damage you recive per battle. Checked mine, should be rather easy mission. Averaging about 400k in tier.3-5, about 600k in tier.6-8 and about 900k- 1.5m in tier.9-10 per battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
