Next Dockyard missions "6. Threads of Fate" a bit Easy Breezy?

[OldSchoolGaming_Youtube]

Is it just me or does next Dockyard missions "6. Threads of Fate" seem a big Easy Breezy?

• 80 000 HP by fires or floods - Feels like 2-3 games in Jinan which delivers both in great quantity.
• 10 Captures - Pretty easy to sneak in w a Sub
• 3000 Ribbons - Feels like almost ONE game with Libertad in Assym!?
• Earn 200 000 XP - Not that hard with right ship and boosters
• 1 500 000 HP Main or secondaries - 8 Quick games with Libertad in Assym
• 300 000 HP damage upon youre spotting in Subs - Like 2 Sub games Max?!

Just felt like this week's missions was a bit harder...

Thoughts?
Plans for ships for each mission?

I think you play well enough and have the ships in your fleet to make this seem "easy" (for you, anyway).

Others, as @Wulf_Ace pointed out, may struggle.

I kind of feel like this whole dockyard so far has been pretty easy at least for me. Assym has made it more fun as well I am just playing regular and finishing 5 out of 6 missions kind of easily.

I bought out the Dockyard this time because:  ^^^^^ that isn't easy for some of us.  Even with the time.   And, I play a lot of games a day and have those ships.....it's all about where you spawn and whom is playing the game.  

I've seen very near COOP losses this past week......  Being one of two humans playing with the other human who runs into the first ship he/she/they see and dies. 

The rest of us, playing this game, simply aren't that good or simply don't have the same opportunities you seem to have?

I used to buy out the dockyard as well for the steel but lately there seems to be more cost effective ways to get steel. So now I just play until the event is almost over and then use doubloons to finish. Especially during snow flake events coupled with the event pass I believe I even got 3k steel in a gold container this patch.

[Captain_Rawhide]

Although none of them seem that daunting, I think you underestimated the effort.  For those people who don't have the right ships, it could be almost impossible.

Im right beside you. I seen some things during this Christmas holiday that makes you think more and more about WG controlled bot accounts. And im a 58% WR guy so im not anything special but I usually try and analyze the best ship and best course of action when I try and grind these events (that doesn't happen that often tbh).

But regardless of skill and experience my point with this thread was more if missions actually got easier in the next two missions blocks and also if any of you have some other thoughts on what ships and modes could be good.

Just a quick comparison, this block we had:

• Receive 20 000 000 potential damage

And next upcoming blocks we will have:

• Receive 12 000 000 potential damage

I always thought that the missions always got harder each block, but maybe I just haven't payed that much attention to them.

I had to check earlier if you would get the big Steel haul at Level 18 without paying for it and you could so I will grind the missions to get that but I have zero interest in the Lever 20 ship.

Sounds like a plan. I had collected a lot of steel so I got the Prins Van Oranje for 30k steel using the 15% coupon in the steel event. It kind of sounds like this ship might not be offered again for a while if ever so I pulled the trigger. I still have 36k steel and my other coupon.

You guys think we had it easy??

Check the 8th set missions. 99,000 base XP and it's unskippable unless you pay to get past it.

[CFagan_1987]

I've noticed that dockyard mission chains tend to alternate, one week will be "easy" missions and then the following week will be more grindy.

Once more into the Frei .....

Well, unlike most of the missions this dockyard, Clan Battles qualifies, so that's 40 CB wins in 2 weeks, or 5 wins a night. (Assuming that's ALL you play) so I'm not really stressing about that one.

This weeks missions I had finished 2 before noticing we were on the new week!

[OldSchoolGaming_Youtube]

I wasent wrong.

Hot tip for those inclined. 10 quick "Just push W" in Libertad in Asym cleared of all the:

• Get Top 3 in the team 10 times
• Get 55 Cits or Kills
• Get 12 000 000 potential damage
• Earn 250 000 commander XP

missions.

 

Then playing Jinan for 3-4 games in Asym finished the "Set 90 fires or floods" missions.

So now I have 1 mission left to clear.

 

And working on level 7 on the Battle Pass. A bit exited to try the new T8 Dutch cruiser in the end.

Hot tip nr. 2, for those inclined. Taking GATO into ASYM is a great way to get 15 Kills in a Submarine mission. 

 

This week ........ Done and Done!

I considered it in Balao, but I'm not the greatest sub player and I know that having one player be a bit weak can let an ASYM team down. 

It seems easier to do the DD cap/shared cap mission in co-op and let the CXP mission finish itself up over the next two and a half weeks. 

I don't want the Niord. I don't think I've wanted it from the moment it was announced. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a dockyard ship exude so much "meh". Maybe if I didn't already have the Karl XIV Johan I might have gone for it, but she just seems like nothing more than the offspring of a K14J and a Bismarck, and her ecological niche is already full in my port.

I'd like to know if there's some special sauce that I'm missing, because I'd prefer to reconsider my stance on the topic NOW while I've still got the opportunity to finish everything up. 

[Arcus_Aesopi]

Asymmetric x7 with various BB's got 5/6 missions complete (and leveled Italian TT BB and finished French TT BBs to Tier X), followed by Asymmetric x7 with Smolensk in fire-starter setup for the Cruiser to complete the week.  Two days without really pushing it to complete week 7 of the dockyard grind... something about 7's this week.

Lepanto and Republique now waiting for credit generation before joining fleet... 

Good luck all!

Im not at all interested in getting Niord, I already have the Karl Joha. But I am interested in getting SVEA in the armory so im just grinding for that 1250 Steel at level 18, then im done.

Smolly works very well in this mission, my thoughts were more that since Jinan is almost like an Smolly in fire setting capacities but also shits out DW torps from all sides you would get both tons of fires and floods at all times.

[Ocsimano18]

I did the fire setting missions with double rudder Castilla in randoms, and the DD cap missions with Cossacks in rankeds. Both were fun. Finshed this week in two days.

Forgot about Jinan... fewer barrels, faster reload, higher fire chance especially with the seasoned commanders and WAY more torpedoes...  Might have messed with my 7's thing though, probably woulda' only been 6 🙂
