Frostbow Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Been enjoying Asymmetric Battles ever since it was introduced. I can choose any eligible ship, such a Tier X boat, and then play without the pressure of Ranked or Random Battle, nor contend with the irredeemably child's play games in Co-op. I think this is already the 3rd time it has been opened for players. It has proved to be very popular (even Wargaming themselves admit to its popularity), and I hope Wargaming will finally make this mode a permanent one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbow Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Neptune Coming from the Piñata Hunt, I tried the Tier IX UK CL just to get a feel of it in Asymmetric Battles. I would usually go for the Tier X but my curiosity somehow prevailed. Made 9 kills. It was a bit challenging, with some of my teammates unable to survive long enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbow Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Colombo Pleasantly surprised about the recent buff to the 16 main guns of this Italian Tier X BB. Her AP slaps hard. On a related note, I am still undecided about the Sicilia. Seems to me the RB ship is more of a sidegrade. Also, the recently announced (currently for testing) Unique Upgrade for Colombo looks like it is more of an upgrade which can make things for the tech tree battleship even more interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Potter Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Only really play the Schlieffen unless missions call for other classes. Averaging about 1400-1500 bxp and around 200k damage per game with it. Easily making around 400k and 500k credits per battle with the silver credit booster. But like you said, Asymmetric Battles are fun and an escape from the downside of other modes. Really wish they become permanent too because it doesn't feel like a chore when I play the mode. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost think they should replace coop with asymmetric. More challenging, you can actually lose. Better training for new players. The only time coop is challenging is in the early morning when there are just 1 or 2 humans, and you can get a battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tier-1 ships don't do well in Asymmetric battles. There's nothing lower than Tier-1 for a 'Bot to sail. I feel it is good have both Co-op and Asymmetric battles available. It's good for new players to have Co-op to practice in and Asymmetric for the increased challenge. They can play randoms at any tier when they feel the need for salt. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Potter Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Here are 4 of the 5 battles I did today with my Schlieffen. Forgot to capture some screenshots from a couple of the lesser games I had, lol. The one's where I ended up sinking and didn't do as well naturally. 😉 Game 1 Game 2 Game 3: Forgot the Team Score Screenshot, but sank in battle so my overall scores were lower. Game 4: Forgot both screenshots, but it was along the lines of game 3 because I died in battle. Game 5 Bonus battle from the 13th since I had the screenshot, lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you get to progress or finish Combat Missions a little bit faster and in a more meaningful way, primarily because there is no feeding frenzy so often dominated by destroyers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlieffen (especially with Lutjens) is perfect for Asymmetric Battles. A single Schlieffen, played decently, can dominate and take the lion's share of damage, kills, incapacitations, ribbons, etc. I've played the battleship a few times. There was a game where there were 3 of us Schlieffens whacking the bots like crazy. LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueNautilus Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Managed to get 2213BXP in Asymmetric tonight. Normally I only score around 1200-1500 but I guess killing more bots counts... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashed68 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I like taking my Massachusettes and Prinz Rupprecht out in Asym. I've averaging in the 250-300k damage range per battle. 5 ships killed on average. 300 secondary hits or so. Mass makes me more money being a premium and it kills planes quick, but Rupp is just a death dealing machine of pure fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagerbomb_2021 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 It seems to me that playing a TT ship that payouts are low. I have a ton of blue boosters of all variety that I'll use. Playing the Schleiffen and getting 200K+ damage, 1200BXP or so, I manage to earn around 200K silver after expenses using a blue booster. I can make that in coop playing Atlanta with a green booster. At least the premium ships payout better, so I've been playing Ohio, Bourgogne and GK and used the Schleiffen to get the ribbons for the dockyard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbow Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Montana I love this ship. There's no need for speed, secondaries, or torpedoes. Twelve 406mm guns are enough. She is my relaxation ship in Asymmetric Battles. I can just chill out and have fun and let her AP do the heavy lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho, strong T8-9 Premiums can be amazing with good boosters for credit gains, especially when faced with higher tiers. Most OP (like Missouri, Jean Bart, Asashio etc) are of course now either locked behind RNG loot boxes or in Missouris example locked for good. For Great Base XP there is really no substitute for Submarines where you can get 2000-3000 Base XP without doing much at all except for spotting and surviving.

OT2_2 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) A (very) sad defeat IMO. I performed almost flawlessly in Hindenburg and achieved as much as possible. Made more than 200 BXP more than the best on Bot side. Our Schlieffens had been a concern and dissapointment. Edited April 18 by OT2_2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbow Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Des Moines This Asymmetric Battle was particularly challenging. I was near zero health when the battle winded down, but before that, those bots (including that Veneto!) flexed their talents and showed everyone how good their aim is. 6 kills. 1,541 Base XP. And WG's choice of map and mode has been Islands of Ice and Standard Battle for more than 5 battles straight. Coincidence? I don't think so, not when there is a Capture/Assist combat mission.

Jagerbomb_2021 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) 8 hours ago, OldSchoolGaming_Youtube said: What payouts are you looking for? Base XP, credits I'm playing more for fun in this mode since I have tons of every in-game resource. I guess I just find it odd that for credits, I can make more in a coop game in my Atlanta using a green booster than I can in asymmetric battles using a blue and finishing top 1 or 2. For comparison, I also play operations a lot and using a blue credit booster I can bring in 600K to a million credits. Edited to add. I know it's not necessarily comparing apples to apples with asym and ops, mainly because I tend not to look at BXP in ops and I do better in ops than many others, whereas in asym in sure I'm average to above average.
