I like this one, one of the tasks has 3 missions where you have to earn with the rest of the community over 1 billion XP times 3 in 13 days. WG seems to have the very optimistic view that players will sit glued to there computer chairs for said amount of days, there dreaming. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how many premium coal ships are there. Some of them were once money-only. I know, because I bought them while they were money-only. When I started playing, there were precisely TWO freemium ships available on a regular basis - Missouri and Nelson. And the grind was much harder then, because the mega bonus flags didn't yet exist. Right now WG is giving out a T8 premium to anyone with a big enough fleet to get the tokens for it. They not long ago gave out a T9 premium for a short, hard grind. Short memory, anyone? This game is still a role model for FTP, even if you aren't willing to see it because you can't have the shiny new thing for free. My congratulations go out to anyone who drew the Scarlet Thunder as the first bundle. You are one (likely very small) bunch of lucky mother ******s. Grab it with both hands. 4 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And.....the irony actually thickens, coz Leipzig is a T6 and I would have been actually interested in getting her. To play....ops. But.... ooops.......there was an ops rework, right? Yeah....

Well....like I said the point was about the irony, not about "getting somethin for free" And people had to reviewbomb the game to bring Wg into his senses ,if I recall correctly. 32 minutes ago, Ensign Cthulhu said: You are one (likely very small) bunch of lucky mother ******s.

Fun fact, this amount of people getting her in the first draw, made me check my other account. coz everybody getting her like that .....it would have been rather nice.

Yup, these containers were heavily nerfed a while back. They were originally part of the CV rework event in Jan 2019 and used to have very high chances of dropping any of the OG premium CVs (Enterprise, Kaga, Saipan, and Graf Zeppelin). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of truth here. F2P games have ALWAYS gated good content behind a paywall. This game is no exception. We really do need to set expectations appropriately. Of course, that's a two way street. WG apparently continues to believe that the way to increase sales is to increase prices or reduce the value of the item for sale... ...that's not how people in my market think. -------------------------------------------- As for this event? Yeah, yet another event that I spent a cursory amount of time looking at...saw the prices, and will pay it no attention whatsoever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considerably better off than actual tissue paper like the Minotaur. Not to mention that she can be going 34 knots allowing for a fair amount of throttle jukes on top of proper angling.

Kynami Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 3 hours ago, pepe_trueno said: why compare a BB with a cruiser? Because oddly enough this particular battlecruiser when equipped with a proper commander and equipment has a detect of only 12.1 km and a rudder shift that is 9.7 seconds that can be lowered down to 7.8 if modded. The regular Duncan has a stock rudder shift of 16.6 with the B hull. ST has 419mm guns and has a conceal roughly equivalent to what large cruisers have and a very good rudder shift. Ergo she plays a heck of a lot more like a large cruiser with large caliber guns. So she plays a game of angling and throttle adjustments while slapping people and going dark as needed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf_Ace Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 last night I played it for 2 hours, video in the link (https://www.twitch.tv/wulf_ace/v/1932484188?sr=a&t=0s) It does feel like a cruiser more then a BB. Armor like it doesnt exists. BB punch through from any angle. Guns are okayish, HE shells deal a lot of damage and do a lot of fires. AP is so so, good against cruisers against BBs hard to pen to citadels. AA even with AA consumable is bad. Heal without superheal is also bad, not easy to stay alive. In general its not worth it, maybe only if you like British HE BBs who are fast and nimble. Like St Vincent line with all the drawbacks, no superheal, no torps and no armor, just guns on a speedy boat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately more often than not they have at least two loot box tracks for any of their events. Anything you can get for "free" usually has a pretty stiff grind attached with a high time commitment requirement. Especially since they've been really fond of timed coupons where you can only get the big prize via F2P mechanics in the first week before the coupon expires. Which puts huge pressure on getting through quests for tokens faster with very large boosters. Too much of what they do is structured to try taking another stab at your wallet instead of being genuinely fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
