And remember guys, the Belfast has the 5th gear slot at tier 7, so you can have a 8.9 km detect range smoke cruiser with 8.5 km radar. Excellent CL (got her last year).
Got me the Belfast in a crate today, it was really one of the few ships I truly wanted from this event so I'll count this year up as a win. And yes, first match I slid out of my smoke and got blasted.
it stops into the next zip code, especially from full speed, I usually go half speed first before deploying the smoke and hit the brakes early. But on the other hand it accretes super fast, so if you are wiggling inside the smoke from someone shooting blind, be careful not to accelerate too much and congrats!
From the free T10 tickets - bought 18 mega containers - Johnston, Navarim, Velos, Rodney, Orion 44. Bought 20 smalls... Toulon, Tashkient 39, Montcalm. I think i used up all my luck.
I had a weird chain of events. I bought a set of 20 mega gift containers. The first one dropped a golden container, which in turn dropped one of the new steel ships. That was my first one opening
If this is true, most people will not have the same results. Save your money esp if you dont own every T5 and T6 ship in the game, including all the crappy ones.
I got Picardie for 1500db as first piece of bundle , she is crap, and I have won Tiger 59 this year in anniversary , and she is not as bad everybody says . o7
I got the Navarin out of one of my 20 megas and I am loving it so far. Secondary supremacy. Honesty didn't expect a tier IX ship at all, let alone one I really wanted so it was worth the money for that alone. I did also get other good stuff too.
Navarin is on my want list this year. If my usual RNG holds up I "should" get it as thankfully no subs or CVs that WG can dump on me (they did that last year !!)
@@SofaKingA Only ships to get, according to "Warship Whaling" are Picardie, Navarin, Tianjin & Victoria. Have already won Johnston from free container, & still have over half of my Mega containers to get. Had great RNG a few years back getting a ship every other roll and did spend a couple of hundred that year. Now I no longer need to spend much.
@@SofaKingA No I don't, I just tend to get decent santa luck. I did still get a bunch of tier VI and VII ships and a tier VIII from a sorta free mega container. Last year I even got a tier X with even less low tier premiums than I have now.
I actually managed to acquire every single one of these ships not through containers, but when they were originally available for resources. Even managed to acquire GC during a 50% off sale. Think I spent like 2150 doubloons on her.
when Musashi was availble for coal and free xp, the forums back then where absolutely full of people saying not to bother, she was a worse yammy, missouri was better, yammy was free, aa(didn't matter and still don't) and accuracy was bad(compared to yammy), and you where basically a fool if you got her blablabla. Granted coal and free xp was a much more scarce resource back then than today, but the amount of negativity was out of proportions. Seeing that I got her and Missouri back then all i can say is that Missouri today thanks to powercreep IMO is a lackluster ship, that even with improved economy might not make as much money as if you play with a ship that you perform well in. Musashi though is still great for a tier 9 :)
I have started to play wows February 2018 , I was too late for Missouri as she was soon to removed , and I played for fun so spending cash on game was not solution ... and Musashi , well I won from Franch BB crates T5,T6,T7& Richelieu , so I played her , i unlocked Alsace , and then Republique when I did that in summer 2018 I had idea to farm 750k fxp to get Musashi , I had no premium account all eco camos & signals went in to that , credits was issue to , as I had 2 premium ships T2 Diana & T5 Texas = I needed to play 2 battles on Texas to have credits to play 1 battle at T10, before xmas 2018 I had enough fxp to unlock Musashi & coal to get Salem with those 2 ships in my port all my credit problems have ended I have over 2600 battles on Musashi righ now in random out of 14k I have played , oh tho Musashi need buff as after cv rework & adding super cv she cant defend & subs ... she have 5km ASW :/
I got a Thunderer, Prins Van Oranje, George Hoffmann, Chikuma II, Giuseppe Verdi, and a bunch of lower tier ships from 40 containers. Not a terrible haul.
I got a Smaland and its insane. I also got the Smolensk from the one free small santa container wg gave you at the start of December last year. I've been pretty lucky
I used up ALL my luck 3 years ago and got a Thunderer in a Santa crate, what a great ship!!! And I won a Tiger 59 the same year, but even that ship CAN be fun.
Lol I got a smolensk first pull. But just lots of flags. Did get 30 days prem time. Also got another French teir 7 BB. And I also got the Missouri during that Missouri event on my first or second pull.
I currently have all 5 ships mentioned. They need to remove Port Slots from the containers. From Events over the last year+, AND from the current Santa containers, I have 140 vacant slots. REALLY don't believe I need more... likely for the life of the game. Just me, but the EXETER needs to be here .Not many T5s out there, with the exception of BBs, with a repair party.
@@Wibblywobbly03-o7 Jinan arcs were buffed a few months ago. Still not as good as Smolensk in that matter BUT Jinan can also throw 40 of the stealthiest torps in the game with a 13.5km range... Having played 100s of games with both of them i believe Smolensk is out of meta since the introduction of PanAm BBs and their 15km secondaries ;)
I have Jinan and I won Smolensk in Black Friday auction. Smolensk is far far better. Not as many torps but the guns are better. And the lack of armor helps a lot. Jinan is brittle like a Colbert.
I'm one of probably a very few who a spent ton of cash early in each of these in their careers by buying them out right... Kind of a steal now come to think of it.
Also not sure why sealord thinks its a worse iowa, slightly better bow armour so she can tank better. 9.5km radar to spot any prsky Dd's. I find i take less damage in the missouri overall anyway so the extra healing isnt a worry for me. To each their own i suppose
8 Mega Gifts in (7 free 1 paid) and I got my first ship, TIX Johnston, 2,500 Doubs, several red boosters and one Golden Container (which only had 7 red boosters). I splashed out a few years back and was getting a ship almost every other container, including Smolensk, Benham & Thunderer. Oh did RNG smile on me that year. I spent A LOT then. Not many left now.
@@zaeltrus Well had another 3 drop today out of 28 bought. Got 7 Red Bonus, then Hoffman then 3000 Steel. From the other 25 Mega I got 3 T9 ships 6.75m Credits and 5,000 Doubs amongst regular stuff. So happy with that.
@@clansome yes that sounds pretty good. I would also love some steel, never had any steel ships. Im tempted to get some more containers too. Last year I also bought 40 and I only got 2 ships, seems like this year is better
I opened around 10 small containers and got Scharnhorst and Tokachi and additionally got Massachusetts from black friday box from battlepass so wows is really nice to me this christmass.
My wish was to get the Prins Van Oranje. I bought 20 mega containers. I opened 10, nothing, my heart started sinking… then boom I got P Bagration, Xin Zhong Guo, then a golden container and the Prins! Then another golden and I got the Hoffmann also. Probably first and last time I felt happy buying anything in this game.
I got my GC from WG for testing, back during the open beta of the game, easily the best T5 BB in the game. Hell I'm pretty sure a fair fight for her is a T7 BB most of the time.
Got the California (meh), but then pulled the Tashkent '39, five golden containers which dropped the new Dutch steel cruiser, and the Karl Johan XIV. Very happy with that.
I opened my first Big Santa container yesterday and there it was ..the Gold Container. I was so excited I stopped and took screen shots and had to catch my breath a second thinking I maybe scored a nice ship or more. Then I decided to not let it sit and just open it and scored 7 red commander xp. What a bummer that was after the build up. I guess it's something and it was in a freebee container but I thought the gold was a top score no matter what. Now I've seen a video of another guy who bought some and he got the same gold container option in his first one. It is what it is.
I think the t-61 would be just as good if not better then the JC pickup. It is a dominant ship that is a tier higher and is a very strong ship even when bottom tiered. As an aside, I had enough tier X ships to afford 5 mega crates and picked up the new G Hoffmann. Pretty pleased with that. Like cracking open a crate and getting 36,000 steel.
I always feel vaguely guilty about owning the GC. I played WoWS for a bit and then went back to WoT for a few months. When I returned to WoWS, the GC was my reward for logging in. I got the Smolensk and Musashi, when they were available for coal. I would like the Belfast and Missouri, but cannot justify the expense of buying containers. My Free XP ships have been a mixed bag. The Nelson and Alaska are fun, the Hayate is okay, but seldom played, and the Kronshtadt might get played twice in a year. The Kronshtadt may not be bad, it may just be me that cannot make it work. The Irony of being a co-op player is that the Musashi is not that fun to play, most of the time. The algorithms used by the bots mean that they try to avoid the Musashi. I managed to get one ship from Santa containers, so far, the Indomitable. Since the CV rework, I am lucky to get even 5000 damage in a match playing a CV, so the Indomitable will join the Saipan (another container reward) in giving me a reward, at the anniversary and New Year's events.
I have to admit the first time i bought xmas crates I got 40 mega crates (20 were my Xmas pressie from my partner) and got Thunderer, Mushashi, Belfast and Nelson as well as some other less ,remarkable ships. I had no idea how lucky I was - but I was (obviously) very very lucky I think I aslo ended up with over a year of Premium time. That was probably 5 years or so ago. I believe that Mega Xmas crates are usually the most value you can get spending money in WoWs. I have no evidence of this but I believce if you buy big lots of crates on the first day the crates are for sale you'll do very well. I feel like the crates are tweaked on the first day or so, so people who buy them get heaps of stuff and talk to other players about how well they did. Like I said I have no evidence of this, but I always do very well if I buy 20 mega crates on the first day. I've always got more than the value of the crates in premium ships, usually some T9s and T8s, sometimes T10s and often quite a lot of premium time. Like I've never bought premium time for wows - I started aas a WoT Players, ehen your WoT premium and WoWs premium were the same and never had to buy premium time since - due to crates. Edit: about the only other thing that is close maybe as good are the Black Friday Premium Containers IMO.
This list is pure nostalgia.. all those ship are bad, or at least much worse when people really wanted them. Småland e.g. is the pinnacle of ship you'd want to get regarding power
Well, I got all of these when they came out, including the OG Missouri for Free EXP with the stupid OP economy lols. They are all still very good, and fun to play, IMHO.
Got gifted 5 crates last year, got Musashi, Smolboi, and Alaska... I figure with that luck, if I bought crates this year I'd get nothing worth talking about because my RNG for the next 30k years went away with last year's haul. The free ship this year will do for me.
Got Missouri out of 5 Mega containers so there goes my luck for the rest of my WoWs career. (To he honest, for gameplay reasons in 2024 I'd rather get Rhode Island instead. IMHO)
I wasn’t able to play for nearly a year way back due to deployment and got Caesar for free as a return gift. Again years ago, still one of my most prized ships along with Arkansas B,
I got the Rhode Island, Rodney, Jupiter 42, Montcalm, Theseus, Orion 44, Picardie, Tianjin. There are only 4 more available ships, including the Johnston.
I have all these of ships in the port, smol was 1m free exp, gc was like 20 bucks, Belfast was max 40, missy and musashi were fairly easy to get at 750k exp when the pve operation used to give 30k free exp each time.😅 I don’t even feel the joy when I get a ship from the boxes 😂
I have 9 Santa mega crates sitting in my port, might wait to get a couple more from the battle pass before i open them. As for these ships, only two i don’t have are the smol and the Caesar. I’ll have to check the list again, but the ship i most want is the Nikolai 1, sure its a T4, but the Halloween camo for it looks really nice. But failing that, i would be happy with a caesar. The ships i don’t want to get are the Tiger 59 or a CV.
SLM are you going to feature the CV Shinano soon? The Belfast original (i have) is a fantastic ship if you like light cruiser play. Because it will hold its own in a T9 game being uptiered has minimal effect on her and that's something most ships cannot compare with. Love your videos!!! The Smolensk still has a lot of hate cast her way (close to CV hate) so buyer beware. When i play the Belfast its like having a big target on your back so you take it in your expectations. I really would like the GC missed out on her over last 8 years. The Belfast also has that extra module at T7 normally you do not get until T8. Slap one of the Dunkirk brothers on her, extended radar module, extended smoke module, and she is a terror.
Used my birthday to stack up on gold and got the Musashi and Småland in the last 20 mega containers (80 total) Did also buy a lottery tickets same day to see how far my luck goes. Note I have most of the tier 5-6-7 ships that can drop.
@@47DeadlyGamer Nah , that was only 6 daily mission if I remember right 3 with 1000,1100,1200 base xp & 3 with 1300, 1400,1500 win battles (or something like that ) , I rember I done that quickly , 3 battles was super ez , and those win battles I have set Graf Zeplin on auto-pilot in co-op and I done something else , I regret that then I did not had my second account active , I would grind it there too and now I could sell my main account , and play 100% Benham on second one .

5 mega containers redeemed so far and got 3 ships plus 2500 dubs.. But they are t7 worse bb premium yukon, California and Strasbourg.. But ships are ships right...
Strasbourg isnt that bad, won her during summer football gamble party. she is well suited for rankeds. Well, at least in my hands even Nelson fits to ranked :P
So far I have managed to get 30% of my T10's done (and bought 8 mega containers) : Minegumo, Aquila, Wiesbaden and Picardie is my loot so far.... I took Picardie for COOP, HE spam and AP's under 10 Km, well, she might be crap ship, but in Coop I had fun with her. No way I will take her against humans. She might be decent in Operations though.
Looking at the most recent Smolensk B auction I wonder if the game got saturated already. That is unless there are some changes done to the ship apart just the black reskin.
I haven't opened any but after getting the Kersarge B a year, or two ago I'm expecting my DPM (dollars per minute) to be to low to get anything this year.
Opened 40 containers as an xmas gift to myself and got absolute shit... Best i got was Siliwangi.. EDIT: Did get Chikuma II in golden but we all know how shit that ship is...
Are these random ppl playing in your background or you, I gotta ask because I'm always confused on how sometimes they aim. I figure it cant be you with all the experience you have, I usually listen to you while its on my phone and I don't watch the actual video but I've been watchin with my morning coffee. I assume these are just replays that why the aiming off so much?
I already have all five of these….. Edit: so I see what you mean about the AA on musashi, but I think you’re overestimating the value of higher AA ratings. Anything short of an AA spec’d cruiser like an Austin or Worcester is not stopping a tier 10 or super carrier from landing strikes anyways unless they stay in groups. And between regenerating aircraft and tactical squadrons, shooting down planes is somewhat pointless unless you’re only facing cvs that have neither. To be fair, that’s most of the tens barring Essex and Shinano I think. But if the strikes are already going to land, having the extra Yamato’s worth of firepower on your team plus the health is beneficial on its own, and you’ll still tank or dissuade most tier 8 cvs from attacking you.
super duper excited i got Missouri, now WG just needs to add New Jersey and the American BB Fleet is Complete! also i want USS Anchorage, bc its so rare to see & USS Benham because torp soup
Over all containers i have ever opened i have gotten 3 ships: Ise, Hyuga(so far from this christmas), and lazo which is a coal ship Edit i forgot my tirpit b i got like a month ago
I used doubloon from my birthday coupon to buy 20 mega Santa containers, and I only got 2 ships. One is Georgia and the other one is Enterprise. Do you think they are any good?
I think it really depends on your preferences and tech tree situation. PQ has released a video on these ships recently. Personally I picked the Dutch Airstrike Terror aka Golden Lew, but if I didn't already have Schliefen, I'd pick that one instead a fantastic long secondaries brawler
I opened 6 normal containers and got Strasbourg, opened 1 Big container and got West Virginia '44. Pretty cool pulls for 0 money spent!
I guess you are the exception. Congrats.
And remember guys, the Belfast has the 5th gear slot at tier 7, so you can have a 8.9 km detect range smoke cruiser with 8.5 km radar. Excellent CL (got her last year).
Got me the Belfast in a crate today, it was really one of the few ships I truly wanted from this event so I'll count this year up as a win. And yes, first match I slid out of my smoke and got blasted.

I got the Smolensk and Musashi, when they were available for coal. I would like the Belfast and Missouri, but cannot justify the expense of buying containers. My Free XP ships have been a mixed bag. The Nelson and Alaska are fun, the Hayate is okay, but seldom played, and the Kronshtadt might get played twice in a year. The Kronshtadt may not be bad, it may just be me that cannot make it work.
The Irony of being a co-op player is that the Musashi is not that fun to play, most of the time. The algorithms used by the bots mean that they try to avoid the Musashi.
I managed to get one ship from Santa containers, so far, the Indomitable. Since the CV rework, I am lucky to get even 5000 damage in a match playing a CV, so the Indomitable will join the Saipan (another container reward) in giving me a reward, at the anniversary and New Year's events.
No mention of Thunderer? I got that out of a Santa container last year and that ship is an absolute monster. Love my Thunderer
I have to admit the first time i bought xmas crates I got 40 mega crates (20 were my Xmas pressie from my partner) and got Thunderer, Mushashi, Belfast and Nelson as well as some other less ,remarkable ships. I had no idea how lucky I was - but I was (obviously) very very lucky I think I aslo ended up with over a year of Premium time. That was probably 5 years or so ago.
I believe that Mega Xmas crates are usually the most value you can get spending money in WoWs. I have no evidence of this but I believce if you buy big lots of crates on the first day the crates are for sale you'll do very well. I feel like the crates are tweaked on the first day or so, so people who buy them get heaps of stuff and talk to other players about how well they did. Like I said I have no evidence of this, but I always do very well if I buy 20 mega crates on the first day.
I've always got more than the value of the crates in premium ships, usually some T9s and T8s, sometimes T10s and often quite a lot of premium time. Like I've never bought premium time for wows - I started aas a WoT Players, ehen your WoT premium and WoWs premium were the same and never had to buy premium time since - due to crates.
Edit: about the only other thing that is close maybe as good are the Black Friday Premium Containers IMO.
You are right. Spending almost the same amount for the containers as for a premium ship and you have the chance to get more than just the one
I got Malta. Stocking up on what I get for free and I’ll open them later on.
I have Smolensk B and it’s a menace in most of my games.
This list is pure nostalgia.. all those ship are bad, or at least much worse when people really wanted them. Småland e.g. is the pinnacle of ship you'd want to get regarding power
Nope.
1.2s reload against any other dd is an instant win lol, other dds do not stand a chance at all
Smolensk B auction was 35000 doubs this year, 50000 doubs on original Smolensk previous year.
Well, I got all of these when they came out, including the OG Missouri for Free EXP with the stupid OP economy lols. They are all still very good, and fun to play, IMHO.
Got gifted 5 crates last year, got Musashi, Smolboi, and Alaska... I figure with that luck, if I bought crates this year I'd get nothing worth talking about because my RNG for the next 30k years went away with last year's haul. The free ship this year will do for me.
Got Missouri out of 5 Mega containers so there goes my luck for the rest of my WoWs career.
(To he honest, for gameplay reasons in 2024 I'd rather get Rhode Island instead. IMHO)
I wasn’t able to play for nearly a year way back due to deployment and got Caesar for free as a return gift. Again years ago, still one of my most prized ships along with Arkansas B,
I got the Rhode Island, Rodney, Jupiter 42, Montcalm, Theseus, Orion 44, Picardie, Tianjin. There are only 4 more available ships, including the Johnston.
i opened 6 normal containers and i got one golden, which opened prins, sooo hell yeah
I have all these of ships in the port, smol was 1m free exp, gc was like 20 bucks, Belfast was max 40, missy and musashi were fairly easy to get at 750k exp when the pve operation used to give 30k free exp each time.😅 I don’t even feel the joy when I get a ship from the boxes 😂
I have 9 Santa mega crates sitting in my port, might wait to get a couple more from the battle pass before i open them. As for these ships, only two i don’t have are the smol and the Caesar. I’ll have to check the list again, but the ship i most want is the Nikolai 1, sure its a T4, but the Halloween camo for it looks really nice. But failing that, i would be happy with a caesar.
The ships i don’t want to get are the Tiger 59 or a CV.
SLM are you going to feature the CV Shinano soon? The Belfast original (i have) is a fantastic ship if you like light cruiser play. Because it will hold its own in a T9 game being uptiered has minimal effect on her and that's something most ships cannot compare with. Love your videos!!! The Smolensk still has a lot of hate cast her way (close to CV hate) so buyer beware. When i play the Belfast its like having a big target on your back so you take it in your expectations. I really would like the GC missed out on her over last 8 years. The Belfast also has that extra module at T7 normally you do not get until T8. Slap one of the Dunkirk brothers on her, extended radar module, extended smoke module, and she is a terror.
Got Orion 44 and Prinz Vanje Orange so far, and LOTS of commander free xp and some blue bonuses.
Used my birthday to stack up on gold and got the Musashi and Småland in the last 20 mega containers (80 total) Did also buy a lottery tickets same day to see how far my luck goes. Note I have most of the tier 5-6-7 ships that can drop.
I got the Smolensk, I think, two years ago from a random santa container...I almost never use it(same year I also got the Belfast classic) lol🤣
From 20 Containers i got: Minegumo. Dunkerque, Orion 44, Orkan, Jurua. Neat, but nothing I'd consider interesting.
I think the Benham is a more rare ship than any of the others you list.
And she was 100% free .
I love my Benham. Suits a potato like me, but must be awesome in the hands of a unicum DD main.
@@SoloWarrior123 but the event to get her was brutal, I stoped playing for a month after getting her.
@@47DeadlyGamer Nah , that was only 6 daily mission if I remember right 3 with 1000,1100,1200 base xp & 3 with 1300, 1400,1500 win battles (or something like that ) , I rember I done that quickly , 3 battles was super ez , and those win battles I have set Graf Zeplin on auto-pilot in co-op and I done something else , I regret that then I did not had my second account active , I would grind it there too and now I could sell my main account , and play 100% Benham on second one .
@@SoloWarrior123 no was more than that.
For completing all Directives of the Rogue Wave event-up to 250 tokens.
From Daily Shipments-up to 50 tokens.
For completing economic missions in Savage Battles-up to 300 tokens.
For completing Daily Missions-up to 150 tokens.
For completing a special marathon (complete 48 missions out of 50)-100 tokens.
Rogue wave event was a mega grind
I got a ship our of a basic Santa container - Bearn, the only French CV. I'm not much of a CV player, but I might look more into this one.
I missed the chance to get Missouri when it was a free xp ship. and hoped for it ever since... so far , 8 years on, no luck.. one day, one day..
I got yudachi from a normal Santa container and ashitaka from a mega container
I got the Sun Yat-Sen and I’m actually loving it.
Got the Hood within my first 4 containers yesterday.
I got the defence out of my 2nd big santa box, solid ship
Only managed to earn Velos in the Santa containers so far, and on the list I have had everything except for Belfast
Got Leningrad, Scharnhorst, and that new steel dutch cruiser from a golden crate so far.
5 mega containers redeemed so far and got 3 ships plus 2500 dubs.. But they are t7 worse bb premium yukon, California and Strasbourg.. But ships are ships right...
I only got a makarov in 5 😢
@peeperinos ha.. I had the pleasure of a makarov last year.. 😭
Strasbourg isnt that bad, won her during summer football gamble party. she is well suited for rankeds. Well, at least in my hands even Nelson fits to ranked :P
@papaversomniferum2365 isn't she just a t7 Dunkirk? Will test her out in due course
@@Daniel-bv2wc buffed to fit for her gier. Sure not as much as JB compared to Richelieu but still suprisingly capable :)
.
I got the ceasar in super container about 3 months ago lol. Was like wow!!
The ship I want the most is Navarin. I'm 5 Mega containers in and no ships. I've also opened up over 130 SC w/o a ship. So yeah. No ship love for me.
I'd pick Småland over all of them
From Santa crates?
@@j_taylor yeah, Smaland is availale in Santa Crates. And If I could pick, Smaland beats all the ships listed here for me personally.
So far I have managed to get 30% of my T10's done (and bought 8 mega containers) : Minegumo, Aquila, Wiesbaden and Picardie is my loot so far.... I took Picardie for COOP, HE spam and AP's under 10 Km, well, she might be crap ship, but in Coop I had fun with her. No way I will take her against humans. She might be decent in Operations though.
Looking at the most recent Smolensk B auction I wonder if the game got saturated already. That is unless there are some changes done to the ship apart just the black reskin.
I haven't opened any but after getting the Kersarge B a year, or two ago I'm expecting my DPM (dollars per minute) to be to low to get anything this year.
Opened 40 containers as an xmas gift to myself and got absolute shit... Best i got was Siliwangi..
EDIT: Did get Chikuma II in golden but we all know how shit that ship is...
Nah chikuma ll wins u games in ranked its a you issue
Siliwangi is very strong. It's basically a Lo Yang. I've played that in Clan and Ranked battles.
I'm sorry you're unhappy with what you got.
My dream "boat'" is Småland. Missing it in this list.
Got em all. Guess I can keep the wallet closed this year.
I got the Rhode Island in a mega container. Is that a good ship?
Are these random ppl playing in your background or you, I gotta ask because I'm always confused on how sometimes they aim. I figure it cant be you with all the experience you have, I usually listen to you while its on my phone and I don't watch the actual video but I've been watchin with my morning coffee. I assume these are just replays that why the aiming off so much?
I already have all five of these…..
Edit: so I see what you mean about the AA on musashi, but I think you’re overestimating the value of higher AA ratings. Anything short of an AA spec’d cruiser like an Austin or Worcester is not stopping a tier 10 or super carrier from landing strikes anyways unless they stay in groups. And between regenerating aircraft and tactical squadrons, shooting down planes is somewhat pointless unless you’re only facing cvs that have neither. To be fair, that’s most of the tens barring Essex and Shinano I think. But if the strikes are already going to land, having the extra Yamato’s worth of firepower on your team plus the health is beneficial on its own, and you’ll still tank or dissuade most tier 8 cvs from attacking you.
I found this season event pass to be great value.
Got JB out of a Mega. Loving her rn.
super duper excited i got Missouri, now WG just needs to add New Jersey and the American BB Fleet is Complete!
also i want USS Anchorage, bc its so rare to see & USS Benham because torp soup
Also need the Pennsylvania and Nevada added
Over all containers i have ever opened i have gotten 3 ships: Ise, Hyuga(so far from this christmas), and lazo which is a coal ship Edit i forgot my tirpit b i got like a month ago
I'm trying to get a Musashi, because i got Yamato and I wanna join my friends in their 899's without using an Iowa. Wish me luck!
Their 899’s?
@alexandrevandenbossche4105 I mean CV Sniping divs my b
I love Musashi. It is my favourite ship for years.
Me too.
Nothing beats the secret dragoon 🤩
got the OG Missouri, Musashi, and smol, Belfast cool the GC I’ll like, but I want the Big E myself.
6 santa gifts and 2 large santa gifts, 0€ spent; Thunderer, Ashitaka, and Monaghan. WG gave back XD
Guilio isn’t the OG - Gremyaschy had already been removed for being OP when Guilin was introduced
I used doubloon from my birthday coupon to buy 20 mega Santa containers, and I only got 2 ships. One is Georgia and the other one is Enterprise. Do you think they are any good?
From 8 containers got a Golden container who gave me Prins Oranje and Collingwood from the others 7. I'm not mad at all
I got quite lucky, i got thesseus, georg hoffman, chikuma2,navarin and monaghan
I opened 10 and got 6 ships trying to get coal, Hill, Munchen, Monaghan, London, Jupiter, and Abruzzi.
I planned to buy 60 megas, got Musashi in first 10
I had to stop feeding the gambling fever😂
got the tone and another one i forget but only tier 7 25 crates so far but 6k steel too
Wait, my Giulio Cesare that I got FREE from WG back in the day is rare. Dang
I find it interesting Benham isn't on this list, but understandable.
I've bought 60 mega gifts and got notably Missouri and Thunderer
I got the chacolov T8 Russian CV. Don’t know a thing about but cool I guess even though I’m not much of a CV player.
No ships so far from all the large containers I got from tier 10 tickets… 😢
Miracles do happen. I got the Musashi!
You’re gonna see.
Yamato guns at tier 9 are just something else. 🤣🤣🤣
@@alexandrevandenbossche4105 I already have Yamato. ;-)
i got schliffen with the free tier 10 ship did i make the right choice
yup
I'd say other then Imperator Nikolai, Benham is all I want.. I got most of everything else.
got the Chikuma2 out of a free standard santa container from the event pass
What ship is the best choice from the 5 tier X options in journey to the north pole event?
I think it really depends on your preferences and tech tree situation. PQ has released a video on these ships recently. Personally I picked the Dutch Airstrike Terror aka Golden Lew, but if I didn't already have Schliefen, I'd pick that one instead a fantastic long secondaries brawler
Have the Musashi, play her rarely as getting so much love from planes is suffocating.
Sitck with heavy cruisers.
Works perfectly fine.
