This years project:

[Nav999]

Every year I set one or two goals usually more attainable than my standard "Become the #1 player in the world" goal. This year my goals are: 1. fully explore the Super Ships, 2. achieve at least a 50% win rate in Random battles. Needless to say I am doing better with the first than the second.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to watch Ensign Cthulhu's stream during lunch and saw he was on the PTS server trying out the Super Ships. I said it looked like they made money so he played one game with one of the ships. After the game he looked at the details and found a -180,000 credit loss. In further discussion he said he thought the average loss had been about a -160,000 credit loss. I was shocked even though this matched what i remember hearing shortly after the ships were in trial. It must be noted here that the PTS ship did not have any Economic Bonuses on it nor a clan port with any bonuses that may be available from it. 

 Since I had over 1 billion in credits I decided to buy all the ships at once for about 769,000,000 million then equip and captain them one at a time. I decided all first games will be played in Co-op since this is what I play 90% of the time. My clan does not have a Super Ship port. It is important to note I do always have Warships Premium Account.  I will also have full battle flags and economic bonuses (blue) except the ship XP bonus on the ships just like I always have in any battle (usually green). All equipment slots will be filled and at least a 10 point captain installed. Like any Premium ship there are no ship upgrades. Unlike most Premium Ships there are no Common missions with elevated ship rewards.

Last week after finishing a battle in an Italian DD I saw the Piemonte setting there and decided to set her up. (note: I don't know how to get the results detail page to insert here yet so I will type the results) Today I played her for the first time with the following results:
