Ensign Cthulhu Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Finished off the Cataluna and Sejong grinds and did naval battles. Managed to sink a bounty with the Sejong; he promptly said some spicy gamer words! IIRC that's the first bounty I've ever sunk since the last of the Corgi Fleet events - and when was that? 2018? I deferred the purchase of the new ships. Part of this is because I want to build my credits up further; the rest is because I didn't quite anticipate getting them done so fast, and the modules - bought at half price - are stacked onto the IJN gunboat destroyers, which I cannot reset until after their Christmas snowflakes are cleared. That doesn't matter too much; I have plenty to be going on with. 1
Wolfswetpaws Posted October 27 Posted October 27 (edited) Welcomed the Enterprise to my Port. For me, it's a big finish to a years-long quest. ~Completed all the available Battle of Leyte Gulf missions (including Battle of Surigao Straight and Battle Off Cape Engano mission groups). ~Completed all of the "Around the World" missions. ~Completed the German Unity Day missions. Participated in Naval Battles (earned 22 stars with 17 attempts). Within the past week, performed a 3x reset (2x plus a 1x) of the Harugumo line, for research points. Mounted a blue-quality credits econ-boost onto my Enterprise, today, and sailed her into a random battle. Earned 1,082,568 credits in that battle (even though it was a defeat). Did some shopping at Harbor Freight and a "Michael's" craft-store on Friday. Purchased some 60-inch bar-clamps for use with future projects. Purchased some plastic pumpkins and some solar-recharging landscaping lights. The idea is to carve the pumpkins and use the lights to illuminate them. Edited October 27 by Wolfswetpaws

May your luck be better than mine! In the five battles she's sortied into, so far, the Enterprise has been reasonably "user-friendly" as CV's go. I like her. 🙂
Asym Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Let's see. Sunk a Bounty Ship when I was forced to play Random and Ranked battles to clear a BOLG event PVP task. Played Ops and did all I could do in Naval Battles in COOP. Worked on several firearms and rearranged all of my reloading equipment yet again. Found an unfinished SOCOM pig load project I put away last fall and forgot about it ! Gosh, it's gonna get done this week cause we're off for hogs in the spring. Deer Hunting season is almost here and that ammo has to be tested as well. Other than that. I am clear this net...........
MidnightPhoenix07 Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Finished up my Ipiranga grind in preparation for the end of early access in a few days, and made some progress on a couple other in progress grinds. Played some CBs with a decent win rate this weekend (the only not close loss was against a high typhoon sub-clan with three mercs from their hurricane main clan). Outside WoWS, did some wiki work, worked on a couple personal projects, and did some last minute preparations for Halloween since I won’t have time during the week. 1

I think I was licking my screen.... Be sure to get the nice camo with seamen all over the deck. Edited October 28 by Sumseaman 1

Tread_Head57 Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Earned enough XP to research Brindisi but didn't purchase yet. Researched and purchased IX Santander and got the Ipiranga up to 180k XP, so should be able to get Los Andes as soon as it is available.

Aethervox Posted October 28 Posted October 28 Barely played this last weekend. As soon as I saw a loss, I quit for the day. Guess how many losses that was? Fri, Sat & Sun, 2 Servers, that's 3X2=6. Perhaps, 1 or 2 Ws versus 6 Losses (Turd 💩 MM, as usual). My EU clan won NB 63 - 37 ( no *s for me tho 😒). My NA clan? As a New Yorker might say, "Forget about it!"
Ensign Cthulhu Posted October 28 Author Posted October 28 Come to co-op. We have easy kills and near-guaranteed wins.

Ensign Cthulhu Posted October 28 Author Posted October 28 9 minutes ago, Tread_Head57 said: Credits and XP are in short supply though 🤣. On a per-time basis, base XP is probably competitive especially if your Randoms WR is low. On a match-for-match basis, I agree, you wouldn't want to burn huge numbers of blue or red boosters there. Ships at Tier 7 incl. those premiums available for free (coal, events, Community Tokens boxes etc.) still have competitively low costs compared to their earnings. T8 is where it starts to get economically difficult for co-op unless you run premium time (which is worth saving up for to get 360 days at half price at Christmas/New Year).

Being in the middle of a 4-line speed grind keeps me stuck in Randoms/Ranked/Ops as I need all the credits/XP I can get. I find spamming Ops with blue-booster the most efficient for XP grinding. Mode Shuffle (if you can get on)/Randoms the best for quick credit farming. Co-Op is my go-to for quickly knocking out specific missions.

We're more or less on the same page, then, except that I'm not the sort to speed-grind multiple lines. Last time I did that was when WG announced GK and Khaba were becoming coal ships, and I wanted to be sure I had them researched long before the due date. The biggest problem with credits is that the system is set up to let you get XP disproportionately faster, while snowflakes disincentivize you from selling high tier ships to help finance their replacements. So it's very easy to get into a credit hole if you're grinding or regrinding multiple lines fast and you're not already a member of the Donald Trump Credits Club. 😛 Hence why I am deferring a couple of my purchases and not replacing ships in grinds until the new year.

Mode Shuffle (if you can get on)/Randoms the best for quick credit farming. Co-Op is my go-to for quickly knocking out specific missions. The blue booster for credits may serve you well in a Scenario Operation, too. Normally, credits accumulate over the course of time, for me. I don't normally worry about them until I have less than a million credits. If I want to get credits quickly, then I sail in random battles or scenario operations with green or blue economic boosters and ships that already have a full econ-bonus package installed. On a handful of occasions, I've had over 100 million credits in my Port. Usually something comes along to tempt me into spending them, and I'll watch the amount dwindle as I welcome a shiny new toy. That said, there's nothing wrong with being thrifty and learning how to use the right ships for various in-game missions or personal endeavors, so that you simultaneously earn a profit of credits.

You will provide the doubloons, in advance, to purchase this or the containers needed to harvest event tokens to purchase the camouflage?

Sumseaman Posted October 28 Posted October 28 (edited) Indeed I will, If you promise to take screenies! What else do you intend to waste 70 tokens obtained for free anyway? Edited October 28 by Sumseaman 1
