Best way to make a lot of money, wait till next Asymmetric Battles round, take the Pommern and have some fun for 2 weeks. It has made me millions (last round >50M).
I bought the Duke of York for the silliest of reasons: That Campbelltown tier III DD in Operation Narai had sunk too many of my tier VII BBs, so I felt that I needed a BB with hydro to have that extra notice that torpedoes were on the way
Littorio is a T8 bb and get bad MM , can go in to battle against Yamato or Montana , or T10 HE cruisers , T9 are much better as at that tier ships are tougher have 6th mod slot and MM is in your favor , T10 are in your range , same super ships , and you can have for free coal T9 BB thera are few options , but Kearsarge if played as bb (ignoring ussage of planes) , is decent BB that made without issue + 100k dmg per battle , Iwami is good to , if you dont tray to torpedo everything , Pommren is must have , but is only useful in asymetric battles or that kind of modes , Marco Polo is good support ship when you use SAP all the way , honestly I dont bother playing T8 as you are more likely to get noobs in team that is T9 as big boys play with big toys , and with my experiece higher tier = more competent team mates , I play on EU , I dunno how is on NA .
@@MightyMenFromEarth honestly with the teammates, for me its like, exactly the opposite way. also, littorio/roma can hold her own against double uptier.
@@Lupus_Indomitus Buddy MM is not on side of T8 ships , and you dont have access to super ships , those can be grinded for loot of credits , noobs 99% of they get supership , they go for bb , in my record battle I have earmed 4.6 mil credits in one battle , I had red bonus + I was T9 in T11 battle , I have made 336k dmg and I was in Musashi.
Operations+blue credit booster+Premium time+Tier 8 Premium I do well in (usually Eugen) = average 1 million credits a win. Operative word is a win. Too many times there is 2 or 3 teammates that decide to suicide in the first 5 minutes and the rest of the team is fighting an losing battle hoping to eek out the win.
This is the way to do it, Mainz is amazing in Operations, and even the likes of Fiji or Harbin do well for cruisers, I'm sure there are a few tech tree DDs and BBs that are great too.
Well old freepex missouri and georgia print dollars on demand. That said, i have been able to earn same amount of money with my coal alaska and carnot… As he stated, tier 9 premiums are the bests (and if you look at base bonus its double t8 premium lol) so any t9 is good as long as you like it. Whats sad is that ohio, slava, napoli and all other premium t10 ships dont bring that money due to the « special not premium » thing 😒
JB definitely hits the consistency pretty well. I like Azuma but the lack of tactical retreat booster when your teammates are gone and you're trying to get away hurts compared to JB.
One of the best ways to keep your credits up I've found is selecting signal flags for your daily containers, that's one of the biggest credit syncs IMO. I'm sitting on 2 billion credits so it seems to be working
Since I pretty much stay away from random games the Pommern and Cossack are my credit farmers in ranked. Both very good at their respective roles and while the Pommern can't really perform in randoms, in the smaller brawl focussed modes she is still amazing. Add a blue booster and you're making minimum a 1 mill and in a good game up towards 2. I've had several 1.8 million games this season.
Agree with you on Pommern, but there are a lot of counters for Cossack in ranked though, primarily the prevalence of radars, and especially radar dds like Split and Hsienyang. A good hsienyang player will play radar, not smoke, will never engage a Cossack but will keep radaring it for its teammates. And then there are the CVs. Cossack is definitely a good ship but it's not what it used to be.
Honorable mentions to De Zeven Provincien and pre-nerf I-56. I-56 actually holds my personal XP record of 6306 before bonus/modifiers. Got that by sinking 3 T10 DDs + 2 caps. Most games in these are at or north of $1M, not post nerf for the I-56. It was an incredible shotgunning sub.
Credit grinding is a pain, especially because the average player win rate is below 50% (a little). You spend 20 minutes in a game and lose (even though you might be a
does a win actually give you more credits? I have a feeling that it only affects EXP. But that's just a feeling I have, I haven't actually looked into it. Just from comparing my own games.
Me seeing 4 million credits in my bank "I'm Rich" Also me seeing the Price tag of Tier 9 ship upgrades and tier 10 ships "I am SO POOR! I can't even afford DIRT!" Like Its not as bad as the War Thunder Grind but man sometimes I get that same Vibe. IE "I will never be top tier, Im too poor." and Ill be like 50-60 years old by the time I make that kind of Credit income. Seriously a tier 10 ship is like 20 million, and I make like..... 100k ish a Match maybe.
@@KaushalyaDassanayake27 I doupt I will ever play those things, they where made to make you loss money and I already loss money at tier 8 (if the game goes REAL BAD) 9 and 10.
I'm F2p and I play since 2017 and yeah the credit grind is tough and time consuming. I already research all the Tech Tree ships and now all of them done by 2022 and then here I thought the grind is over for me and I just have to grind for new tech tree ship every 4 months when WG add them and then they release the supership... Now, I have 100 million Credits in my account and it's still not enough to but the all the superships. I'm still grinding for credits and hopefully get all those superships before October for the WOWs anniversary.
Dam you all are working hard to grind credits. I wish I could afford to get more ships but yeah it’s tough without premium time and without economic boosters.
@thomasbouvier3203 did you have the beer can camo for the Roma before the camo rework? If so congrats you have one of the best credit printers. Just compare her ship economic bonuses against another t8 premium and you can tell. I think it is t9 premium bonuses at t8
@@dodgedaytona7435 Yes it does. The Koba camo was spicy pricey when it was available, but I grabbed it, and with the original Missouri, I have no credit worries.
@@sealordmountbatten For sure, it definitely makes the kind of credit income I was looking for. It just also has a built-in feature that tends to always send me back to ports before the end of a game. But, to be honest, that feature is built-in most of my ships.
@@MISANTHROPE00 yeah, still working on my map awareness. I try to look at the map as often as possible but still get tunnel visioned too often for my own good.
I rock the Rhode Island all the time. I get to relive the glory days of the OG Missouri, with decent AP and HE, 39.5 knots with speed boost, 10.2 km secondaries, and one of the best AA in the game for a BB.
I was surprised to hear from you at 6:14 that Groningen is not a dedicated gunboat. Since she doesn't have torps, what else is she supposed to use? I know, those 120mm quickfire Bofors guns really suck.
Without Assyms, anything that's not T7 or 8 (technically T6 too, but they have quite the uphill battle outside of D-day ops) doesn't count, as ops can be the most reliable source of credits. That being said: any German BB/BC Mainz Any 27mm plated CA (KM or USN T8) Flandre Massa/WV44 Runners up: Montpellier Nelson/Rodney Renown 44 Atlantico Graf Zeppelin Economic cheaters (or the pre-econ-rework Kobiashi Camo ships): Roma Kii Ashitaka
I just bought the MAINE! 😂 in total it cost me about 65M. Most ships suck for earning credits. T9 premiums are stupid because they might have reduced service costs but it’s not really worth the 10% credit boost they give. Now if they gave 50% that would be great. There aren’t any ships that give a huge boost like OG Missouri.
This video is just in time for many who are trying to get that credits mission for the Wisconsin! The key is really taking a Premium (gold with gold leaves) or Special ( silver with gold leaves) ship that you play well. I noticed the economic booster baked into Special ships is 50%, where Premium ships are only 10%. So Special ships will generate more credits than Premium ships.
@@JohnWilliams-sq7cj Thank you for this clarification! In a different video after this one, SLM mentioned Premium Ships have a “baked in” credit bonus not reflected in my original post, so I was wondering about this.
Duke of York. Thought everyone hates the ship I enjoy it. She had my highest Skilled Captain (15 points) before I quit the game many years ago. I would sometimes rundown DDs in smoke screens with my hydro and blast em with HE
Just got the FDR. Surprise, surprise, I learned really quick how to not stay in AA range lol. Honestly, I love playing Scharnhorst '43 because of the speed and the brawling ability on co-op and scenarios. Still got a soft spot for my GK though.
Sometimes, if there is no asymmetric battle mode (Pommern), and Random is no fun to play, I play Coop with Atlanta or Mainz. Without signals and bonuses. D-Day with Atlanta is also not bad. 150k - 250k credits for 5 minutes is ok for me, and I slowly restock signals and economic bonuses.
I’m not sure if you can get it anymore, but the Jean Bart does pretty good for me. Obviously different play style than the Black but I earn similar amounts of credits per game.
@@N1GHTM4R3W0LF All the ships on my list is tier 8 :) 1) because they are significantly cheaper(though objectivly still expensive) than tier9 gold/money ships 2) because you can bring them into operations should you want to 3) they have the best economy except tier 9's
i woul personally mayb have included azuma, possiby instead of ägir, since she is super accurate, and she just gets japanese gold ammo with her he. like, its so darn easy to farm damage and by that credits in her. true, her armour is like, non existent, but she makes up for that with her range, accuracy and the fast cool down heal. so i find it way easier in your standart eu game, to do dmg then with the ägir. plus, her ap still is the also really good japanese ap.
I am just glad that I got the Seagal Missouri. Also glad the WG removed Seagal's sorry ass from the game. I'd be interested in some more Kearsarge gameplay because I have no idea what ship to get for free next.
Roma and Prinz Eugen consistently make me 1mil credits per match. I get better returns with Roma than I did with OG Missouri, and I get more consistent returns with Prinz than I do with current Missouri.
Granted, I pretty much only play Operations now that Asymmetric is gone again but I also have good results with the Prinz Eugen. I was honestly surprised he listed Duke of York as I've personally found that ship to be a bit underwhelming in comparison. (Again, I'm only playing operations it might be significantly better in Random).
When #1 came around, it was like a "Psych!" moment. The Tier XI... Yeah... American battleships... Yeah, yeah? The Kearsarge Wait, what? I was expecting Missouri! LOL
Please prove me wrong, but the credit bonus is now written in harbor at the economic section. Regular T10 Ships fully upgraded and Blue Booster, nets 210% more credits. T9 Premium Ships have only a total of 170%. Those missing 40% come from the Dubloon Upgrade difference. That being said, with T10 Special Ships considering consistency of T9/T10/T11 Enemies in the long run you make more money than with a T9 premium , lesser credit bonus and the higher chance to have T8 game and not fighting T11 for massive bonus. There are no hidden internal bonuses anymore for premium, special or whatever ships. Its all listed in the Economic Section now with pure %. True is, that credits are rewarded for %dmg of total HP of the ship done plus capping. So, after 1 week of testing, I come up with following, 20 matches with every ship below and blue booster: 1. Vermont, ~900k net 2. Salem, ~1700k net 3. Benson, ~950k net 4. Black, ~1000k net 5. Musashi, ~850k net 6. Hizen, ~980k net 7. Jean Bart, ~1100k net Conclusion: What did I do to have Salem standing out so massively? Well, Salems role and likelyhood to a) damage destroyers, b) shoot down planes, c) consistently damaging T11 superships and d) getting paired in Supership Matches did the thing. Matchmaker obviously takes AA capability into consideration and out of 20 games I played ONLY with Salem 18 T11 + CV games. I shot down 8-15 planes every single of these 18 matches and capped at least 1 point, destroyed DD regularly. That being said, I recommend having an agile, AA strong cruiser that takes out enemy DDs and is likely to cap for printing Credits.
@@sealordmountbatten how would we know? Are there some stats on this? Even with JB an 216k damage and one Cap, One DD Destroyed i did not make more money than with Salem on a T11 match doing mediocre stuff.After testing 3 rounds with Missouri I gave her up as the regular matches are below the threshhold of being good ones :)
The Mighty MO doesn't have the og credit earning anymore since the economy "rework" I've had it since the day she came out and now it earns the same as all my other t9s
Best way to farm is by doing scenarios. Therefore Kearsage is Not the best ship because it is tier 9 and cannot do scenarios. Just get a Mainz, easily best premium ship ingame and it can do scenarios as it is tier 8.
BBs need to be firing on cooldown, 30 second reload means they get maximum 40 salvos in a 20 minute game, having planes is such a detriment to their DPS, it's a stupid line and ships IMO
Malta is my go to credit grinder. You can faceroll and dribble on your keyboard and still make 1mil a game. Its easy mode and also makes people seethe so its always entertaining.
If you are ever having a bad day bring t8 battlship premium preferably with good secondary build and/or torps into ops and get 500k-1mil consistently with dark blue boosters except right now fools keep bring t6 rental ship from d-day event into ops ao until d-day rental ends and fools realize you get nothing for bringing it into ops
In all honesty go buy and account with a Missouri if your just starting but intend to spend money on the game if not the Mainz is without doubt the best credit farmer in ops earning upwards of 400k per ops with no bonus if played right , But their are no easy credit farmers because it depends on player skill.
the credits are a grind but i still think the xp is worse. remember sealord you dont just grind the ship xp and unlock it. once you pay for it you still need to grind xp to unlock the upgrades to the ship, only then can you spend the credits if you have them. so you can have billions of credits spare but without the xp to unlock the ship and upgrades, the credits are meaningless
Use free exp to buy upgrades so your grind progress would be easier, and don't use it to skip some exp left for the next tier. Also some upgrades are not necessary to have so you could skip it.
Hood has more HP and is faster, but the guns are more unpredictable with worse HE. You can get great hits on cruisers, but DoY feels more versatile, tanky, and accurate. The hydro is really nice. Hood has always been a “just above average” ship for me, while DoY is a mid 60% wins ship. I did just get citadeled through the bow in DoY last night, which was a first (by a Yukon!?). That would not have happened in Hood, but also never has happened before to DoY.
Well if you get a premium coal t9 its actually a 100% boost. Only for premiums, only at t9…. ^^ But shikishima is still nice to have tho. But like ohio, aint printing credits like you won lottery ^^
@@thomasbouvier3203 From those, I have Alaska and Georgia but they're both 10% credit boost (just checked) (I do have to say I have the free versions of when they first came out) of the ones I have, only F. Sherman, Max Immelman and Shikishima have 50%. (Wait... did the armory exist back when I got Alaska and Georgia🤔)
Damn i wish i wasn’t dumb enough to trade my kutuzof back when they nerfed smoke invisifire…. They allowed it back then after huge changes but man…. Asking for a refund only to buy atago…. Still sick about it xD
Trust me Azuma is still excelent for credits, Im willing to bet SLM is still using it to print credits but had to freshen up the list a bit HE alfa and fire chance is excelent. Range makes it so u can farm superships Balistics makes it so you can farm destroyers That is basicly all u need, getting caps with DDs is great but catch one stray torpedo or one ill timed radar and u through away a blue booster. Farming efficently from a long range, is the best way to use ur boosters, do u have battle inpact? No. But honestly who cares if u get 750k regularly on a loss by shooting high priority targets. The other day I got 1.2 mil with a blue booster on a loss.
@@sealordmountbatten Cant thank you enough for your recommendation of this ship, Im playing a little over a year, got many good ships now, but still go to Azuma every time I need credits :)
I dont understand your hype with that DoY the guns are just so bad on this ship and if youre lowtier only HE spam works, i would never recommend this ship - my best tier8 cashcow would be mainz, even against tier10 i can do 100k avg it doesnt matter if you win or lose.
as a new player not paying to win, this is discouraging. not calling a foul on those that pay for ships that are OP, you do you and all that, but the need to buy premium to get stuff accomplished tells me that I need to find something else to do. Hope your game lasts awhile longer, but this kinda thing turns off the casual new player, leaving a dwindling pool of people that keep buying ships.
Game economy should be reworked, WG is so pissed that old players have mountains of credits without anywhere to spend on that they make new players pay for it making everything ridiculously high priced
Hence they use ships as Kitakami to drain it. No rework needed. Edit and the old players played hundreds of hours to unlock ships like Misouri and Mushasi. They payed already enough
Best way to make a lot of money, wait till next Asymmetric Battles round, take the Pommern and have some fun for 2 weeks. It has made me millions (last round >50M).
D-Day Operations are good for credit grind , I average 500k poor profit with grey eco bonuses + premium time on Atlanta.

i woul personally mayb have included azuma, possiby instead of ägir, since she is super accurate, and she just gets japanese gold ammo with her he. like, its so darn easy to farm damage and by that credits in her. true, her armour is like, non existent, but she makes up for that with her range, accuracy and the fast cool down heal. so i find it way easier in your standart eu game, to do dmg then with the ägir. plus, her ap still is the also really good japanese ap.
I am just glad that I got the Seagal Missouri. Also glad the WG removed Seagal's sorry ass from the game.
I'd be interested in some more Kearsarge gameplay because I have no idea what ship to get for free next.
Seagal isnt on the Missouri any more? i never even noticed. the Armistice table is still there though i see
Best ships to grin credits right now in armory are Iwami & Kearsarge as those ships have high potential DPM .
I was already farming up for kearsarge :D
how about best ships to do this for doubloons since I dont have 220k + of coal! Thank you!
Wujing is a pretty good credit printer too. Those secondarys are slso a menis to dd's.
no cossack?
No Mainz? Try that thing in operations :)
Absolutely!
Roma and Prinz Eugen consistently make me 1mil credits per match. I get better returns with Roma than I did with OG Missouri, and I get more consistent returns with Prinz than I do with current Missouri.
Granted, I pretty much only play Operations now that Asymmetric is gone again but I also have good results with the Prinz Eugen. I was honestly surprised he listed Duke of York as I've personally found that ship to be a bit underwhelming in comparison. (Again, I'm only playing operations it might be significantly better in Random).
Gorizia is also a good credit printing ship for her tier
Does Mengchong has the same economy as Agir ?
All Tier IX premiums do
Kearsage - the clinical definition of EVERYTHING wrong with WOWS
When #1 came around, it was like a "Psych!" moment.
The Tier XI...
Yeah...
American battleships...
Yeah, yeah?
The Kearsarge
Wait, what? I was expecting Missouri! LOL
he only list ship you can buy right now, not waiting and pray WG will sell it like missouri
Or georgia. But he said it, it must be a buyable ship now ^^
All i got is a flint, but it works decently well in Ops
Please prove me wrong, but the credit bonus is now written in harbor at the economic section. Regular T10 Ships fully upgraded and Blue Booster, nets 210% more credits. T9 Premium Ships have only a total of 170%. Those missing 40% come from the Dubloon Upgrade difference. That being said, with T10 Special Ships considering consistency of T9/T10/T11 Enemies in the long run you make more money than with a T9 premium , lesser credit bonus and the higher chance to have T8 game and not fighting T11 for massive bonus.
There are no hidden internal bonuses anymore for premium, special or whatever ships. Its all listed in the Economic Section now with pure %.
True is, that credits are rewarded for %dmg of total HP of the ship done plus capping.
So, after 1 week of testing, I come up with following, 20 matches with every ship below and blue booster:
1. Vermont, ~900k net
2. Salem, ~1700k net
3. Benson, ~950k net
4. Black, ~1000k net
5. Musashi, ~850k net
6. Hizen, ~980k net
7. Jean Bart, ~1100k net
Conclusion:
What did I do to have Salem standing out so massively? Well, Salems role and likelyhood to a) damage destroyers, b) shoot down planes, c) consistently damaging T11 superships and d) getting paired in Supership Matches did the thing.
Matchmaker obviously takes AA capability into consideration and out of 20 games I played ONLY with Salem 18 T11 + CV games. I shot down 8-15 planes every single of these 18 matches and capped at least 1 point, destroyed DD regularly.
That being said, I recommend having an agile, AA strong cruiser that takes out enemy DDs and is likely to cap for printing Credits.
@@MT-ff8bf there are still “baked in” bonuses they are applied to full on premium ships that are not present in the economy tab in port
@@sealordmountbatten how would we know? Are there some stats on this? Even with JB an 216k damage and one Cap, One DD Destroyed i did not make more money than with Salem on a T11 match doing mediocre stuff.After testing 3 rounds with Missouri I gave her up as the regular matches are below the threshhold of being good ones :)
The Mighty MO doesn't have the og credit earning anymore since the economy "rework" I've had it since the day she came out and now it earns the same as all my other t9s
She shouldn't, if she really does you should send in a support ticket
Missouri?
This game really needs to show exp/credit info in game
I bought AL Agir, she is great
Subs got even more buffed, now the fire skill for comander no longer affects subs
Weird. I just take out the Missouri. Base 50% + credits. Does pretty good
What about Pomern?
If asymmetrics, piñata hunt, or airship escort are active, yes absolutely
@@sealordmountbatten yeah in the current meta even with Ohio I must rely on the main battery
Tirpitz and Brandenburg for my credit farmers. 250k per game even in ops :-)
Its good, but to be fair nothing compares to an easy million or more in a t9 premium. Or without boosters an easy 400k
Nice information
Suggestion:
Do a video on mods, if you have not already.
I'm returning after years away from the game, I'd like to see what is available.
If I can only have one premium, it's hands down the Mainz.
I feel every thing you can say about the Kidd, you can say about Cossack. And most times, Cossack is better.
Can you use your credits to get ship XP?
Best way to farm is by doing scenarios. Therefore Kearsage is Not the best ship because it is tier 9 and cannot do scenarios. Just get a Mainz, easily best premium ship ingame and it can do scenarios as it is tier 8.
JB is my way to go. I easily hit 1 mill income, even with weak boosters and an average game
Cheers for the comments thanks
the kid is nice indeed :D
If I got the Kearsarge, my BB main gun monkey brain would most likely completely ignore the planes and only use the guns
BBs need to be firing on cooldown, 30 second reload means they get maximum 40 salvos in a 20 minute game, having planes is such a detriment to their DPS, it's a stupid line and ships IMO
best trick to making credits is dont grind trees, just play premos.
Malta is my go to credit grinder. You can faceroll and dribble on your keyboard and still make 1mil a game. Its easy mode and also makes people seethe so its always entertaining.
I‘m relying on my good old Tirpitz
How much are you earning per battle ?
lol, where is pommern and azuma? duke is not good. tier 8 or 9 are the best
Why nobody is talking about operations ? they are a excellent in money making
yep, and considerably less salt in chat
until 3 or 4 Mainz shows up, get barely do thing when grinding for BBs 😑
Flandre is easy money printer in ops i get 500k on a bad game and a mill on a decent round of ops
If you are ever having a bad day bring t8 battlship premium preferably with good secondary build and/or torps into ops and get 500k-1mil consistently with dark blue boosters except right now fools keep bring t6 rental ship from d-day event into ops ao until d-day rental ends and fools realize you get nothing for bringing it into ops
In all honesty go buy and account with a Missouri if your just starting but intend to spend money on the game if not the Mainz is without doubt the best credit farmer in ops earning upwards of 400k per ops with no bonus if played right , But their are no easy credit farmers because it depends on player skill.
the credits are a grind but i still think the xp is worse. remember sealord you dont just grind the ship xp and unlock it. once you pay for it you still need to grind xp to unlock the upgrades to the ship, only then can you spend the credits if you have them. so you can have billions of credits spare but without the xp to unlock the ship and upgrades, the credits are meaningless
I find grinding XP easier than credits.
Use free exp to buy upgrades so your grind progress would be easier, and don't use it to skip some exp left for the next tier. Also some upgrades are not necessary to have so you could skip it.
I hate kearsarge tho damn but I guess I’ll use it
DoY vs Hood? Not probably the best idea to make DoY my first coal ship?
If you like bbs. Duke of York is one of my all time favourites
Hood has more HP and is faster, but the guns are more unpredictable with worse HE. You can get great hits on cruisers, but DoY feels more versatile, tanky, and accurate. The hydro is really nice. Hood has always been a “just above average” ship for me, while DoY is a mid 60% wins ship. I did just get citadeled through the bow in DoY last night, which was a first (by a Yukon!?). That would not have happened in Hood, but also never has happened before to DoY.
pfffft. if you try "bullying caps" at tier 9 because you have radar, guess what, so does everybody else. You'll get smashed more often than not.
Whiskey is solid
I have Kidd, DoY, and Agir...
My shikishima has a 50% credit boost, none of my other ships have this.
Well if you get a premium coal t9 its actually a 100% boost. Only for premiums, only at t9…. ^^
But shikishima is still nice to have tho. But like ohio, aint printing credits like you won lottery ^^
@@thomasbouvier3203 none of my tier 9 coal ships have this, do only specific ships (or during an event) get the 100%?
@@Zero-oh8vm well i speak for my missouri, georgia, alaska and carnot. But it might be because i got them before their whole economic shenanigans ?!
@@thomasbouvier3203 From those, I have Alaska and Georgia but they're both 10% credit boost (just checked) (I do have to say I have the free versions of when they first came out) of the ones I have, only F. Sherman, Max Immelman and Shikishima have 50%. (Wait... did the armory exist back when I got Alaska and Georgia🤔)
@@Zero-oh8vm mhhhh i might have to chevk you give me some doubt 😅🫣 tough i looked better
well i "cheat" a little i have the roma and kii kobayashi camo so there is that.
Azuma got knocked off the list... nooo!
Kutuzov and JB are pretty awesome for credits
Damn i wish i wasn’t dumb enough to trade my kutuzof back when they nerfed smoke invisifire…. They allowed it back then after huge changes but man…. Asking for a refund only to buy atago…. Still sick about it xD
The credit grind was worse in World of Tanks, and one of many reasons why I quit playing.
They should just remove post-battle service. But until then, AL litorio in Operations is okay until then.
Kearsarge all the way!
lol he say kidd can take groningen in a gunfight
groningen better credit farmer then kidd^^
No I don’t, I say if it’s NOT something like a Groningen l, she can take it
Azuma for fire arsonist
Azuma stop being good?
Trust me Azuma is still excelent for credits, Im willing to bet SLM is still using it to print credits but had to freshen up the list a bit
HE alfa and fire chance is excelent.
Range makes it so u can farm superships
Balistics makes it so you can farm destroyers
That is basicly all u need, getting caps with DDs is great but catch one stray torpedo or one ill timed radar and u through away a blue booster.
Farming efficently from a long range, is the best way to use ur boosters, do u have battle inpact? No. But honestly who cares if u get 750k regularly on a loss by shooting high priority targets. The other day I got 1.2 mil with a blue booster on a loss.
Azuma is still good, but it’s been on every single iteration of this list, wanted to give some different ships a chance to shine lol
@@sealordmountbatten Cant thank you enough for your recommendation of this ship, Im playing a little over a year, got many good ships now, but still go to Azuma every time I need credits :)
Agir for credit farming?? Nah! Main battery guns aren't the most reliable, gets farmed by everything. Azuma is definitely the better credit farmer.
Hi
Signal prices need to come down. 140k for a single signal, gtfo
I dont understand your hype with that DoY the guns are just so bad on this ship and if youre lowtier only HE spam works, i would never recommend this ship - my best tier8 cashcow would be mainz, even against tier10 i can do 100k avg it doesnt matter if you win or lose.
This is Duke of York slander
cossack is better than both kidd and black.
Bruh pls get off the agir hypetrain its terrible its too big and has no armor FOR ITS SIZE its bigger then bismarck....
I love my Ägir.
This is Agir slander
as a new player not paying to win, this is discouraging. not calling a foul on those that pay for ships that are OP, you do you and all that, but the need to buy premium to get stuff accomplished tells me that I need to find something else to do. Hope your game lasts awhile longer, but this kinda thing turns off the casual new player, leaving a dwindling pool of people that keep buying ships.
skill is free
Game economy should be reworked, WG is so pissed that old players have mountains of credits without anywhere to spend on that they make new players pay for it making everything ridiculously high priced
The price tags of the Super Ships and their exorbitant maintenance rates was specifically to drain those very mountains of silver.
Hence they use ships as Kitakami to drain it. No rework needed.
Edit and the old players played hundreds of hours to unlock ships like Misouri and Mushasi. They payed already enough
Question do you get more credits in Random or Rank or Co op or is it the same and do you how much each ribbon earns
What about Groningen?
