If you decide to spend money on the game ( big if I know) the firepower deluxe is by far the best value. You get 4 premium ships( IIRC Arizona, Texas, Iwaki and the Kamikaze ( Kami is tier 4 and it’s just not fair with proper commanders). Premium time, some doubloons and various crates camos. I think it sells for around 30 bucks on amazon. Just buy new as it has a code that can only be redeemed once. It’s a physical edition kind of what like wotc did years ago. I wasn't going to spend any money, and then that package (usually $40) went on sale for $18. Hard to pass up four boats, a month of premium, and 2500 dubs for that price -- especially after we got our $4200 stimmy check.

The scary part is that you get the Kamikaze, which with the right commander set up gets down to 4.3 km concealment at tier 4. Also might want to consider starting the red white and blue project before the next update( think April) and you can get the tier 5 California for free. The project gets removed next update but as long as you start it they won’t take it out for you until you finish it.

Thanks for the heads up!!!

I got it free in a supercontainer on the PC and its not worth the port slot it takes up, and I'm a BB main. It is tier 7 on the PC version so maybe its better lower tier?

It's a tier 5 in Legends so it's pretty good. Main issue with it is it being slow as hell. Whenever carriers come it will get a boost because it has nice AA at tier.

Ahhh...and so the love mail begins. (I was in a Borasque -- the tier 3 French DD -- with like .05 health, and he in a full-health-at-the-end-of-the-game Sveltlanta. Got him with two torps while running away, reset him while he was trying to cap, and we won on points, lolololol).

Okay ... I am really, really enjoying the game. Carriers have been pretty much non-factors, tbh, as most of the people who are playing them at the tiers I am at (3 and 5) just suuuuuuuck. The game is a LOT more balanced, partially due to the +/-1 MM, but they've also adjusted stats (Warspite has 15" guns, for example, as 16" would be a tad broken at tier V where it's now located). They give you the chance to earn a ton of free stuff. Got the Okhotnik in a crate (GO WAR CANOE!!!111 ), almost got the Gearing (might be another week or two...?) and will then work on the California, and there is always an earn op of some sort (although I am waiting on a boat I want). I've received nearly 3k in free dubloons just through crates and missions. It's kinda nuts, tbh. Wasn't sure I liked the captain system at first, but that's also a balancing factor and I get it. With limited skills and a ton of XP needed to really make them effective, it keeps the lower and mid tiers a lot more fun and not chock full of seal clubbers. The fact only the first 3 skills are active at lower tiers was also a brilliant move. The games are much faster, which is super nice, and a lot of that is due to starting a LOT closer. But CAN THEY PLEASE ADJUST THE SPAWNS ON SHARDS BECAUSE HOLY FUCKING SHIT BBs ARE LITERALLY INSTA-SPOTTED. And, it turns out that I'm much, MUCH better with a controller vs. a keyboard. Only have about 160 random games, but am sitting at a 62% win rate (almost all solo) and a 3.6 k/d. (The Mrs will hang out while I play, so been doing a bit of co-op so she and I can chat.) I'm still dabbling with the PC side, but ... well, games are supposed to be fun. With all the gimmicks, the idiotic captain rework that neutered some of my fave boats, and CVs like the FDR polluting higher tiers, it's just not as much fun as the console version. At least not for me right now. Anyway, feel free to hit me up sometime. :-)

I do have fun teasing inept CV’s in my DD’s It’s also fun sneaking up on them when they have 0 chance to spot you. Sunk 3 yesterday because reasons.

I guess I’m just confused as to why you would spend time hunting a class that has little to no impact on the game in your words. Why do that to your team?

Just like hunting arty in light tanks at the beginning of a match in Wotc. Do I do it every game, no at all but a long day at work I can troll CV players.
