I just finished the final dockyard stage with a nice DesMoines battle, completing the 39k BXP in cruisers (I also finished the DD task today). That last free reward, the Big Santa Container...

I agree that WG should fix the bot spawning and pathing. It does suck to start on a wide flank in a slow ship, especially on a map like Two Brothers (should be eliminated from co-op rotation!). I just do not see the current setup as a deliberate attempt to create a reduction in value. The bots are still gonna get sunk by some player, even if it is not you in your flanking Colorado. More likely some unintended consequences because things were not thought through all the way, given how little time WG tends to spend on Co-op development.

I would be happy to see a requirement of one water-skip before arming.

Is some player gets less, some other player gets more, there is only one whole pie to divide. Why would that be “the entire point of their change”? Are you on WG’s naughty list?

I got 100 India Yankee signals. Not that I really needed them, but free is free.

I got the 3 Rare Bonuses containers.

That is lucky. I have never had back-to-back SC drops. You can now have a good tracking of when you might expect subsequent supercontainer drops.

The final stage is not as bad as you think. If you play to complete the six daily tasks, you have earned a minimum of 5400 BXP. It certainly will be more, accounting for overages at each stage, and the final three daily tasks count the XP only in wins, so unless you are doing it in Co-op you will have even more XP which is accumulating in losses. The Dockyard missions do not have that limitation. If you play each of the 14 days that the final stage is open, just up to the completion of the Dailies, you will end with more than 74k BXP earned. What this type of mission does, though, is limit your play to just two ship types, if you want to finish with the least grinding possible. All of the non-BXP tasks will be done by the time you can finish two of those to make the required six. If you are trying to complete the destroyer and cruiser tasks, playing battleships is just wasting time. And you need to play only Random/Ranked/Co-op, Operations do not count.

Frankie likes shooting the guns.

Well then...

Your pink pal way out on the edge cannot have been happy either.

Wow! The potatoes on the red team must have been really terrible. 😉

Lots of them in tier V ranked

Damn, the second stage of New Year Battles (after you obtain Renown’44) includes another 21M potential damage…
