The Yamato Odyssey...

[Parliament_Funkadelic]

The journey is over, for those grinding to this beast, here are some thoughts and observations.

 

I played 80+ games in the Izumo before I cracked and used 60k free xp to research the Yamato. My Izumo results were literally dead average, same damage, same wr, and all other stats + or - 5% from the norm.

 

If the average game is 15 minutes AND you don't use free xp, AND you don't use the 50% xp flag, AND you don't use specialized camo (ocean soul, or others) AND​ you are a decent player....AND you use premium consumables, AND you use the 22k camo....AND  you have a premium account ( god help you if you don't) .........you are looking at a minimum of 30 hours of play time to get through the Izumo to get this ship. I won't bore you with the math behind my process... as some have the resources or skill to either cut that time down, or increase it..... Lastly, because I used premium consumables, I definitely netted less than 100k per game. So, I had to sell the Izumo and other ships I had to pay for this 25Mill ship as the credits earned at tier nine didn't cover the costs.

 

So, the journey endeth, I now have my Yamato and thought I would share some of grind details to get it. I'm sure I've left out few things, but if your goal is this ship or any other tier 10, it may just be worth it to drop $30 bucks and convert free xp past tier 9 to get to the ship you want. I mean it's a $1 an hour investment.

 

Now that I have it, like an idiot, I'll start grinding a new ship line and shelve the Yamato like I have the Gearing Zao Moskva and Shima. Good luck to you all! And may the citadels be ever in my favor!

1) congrats

2) for the love of all that floats pls don't talk people into skipping into the hardest T-X BB to be effective in.  

 

Lol on getting it and immediately moving away from it to a different line - glad it's not just me...

Whelp...I'm ten games in, My damage is 85k per game, @60% wr. I'm definitely a touch tentative about where and when to push, but not sniping either. However I do take pride in that stat in potential damage shot at me at over 2.5mill, I may die but I won't be the accused of not supporting the dd's and caps. I'm not certain about my modules yet as I have no concealment, mainly a secondary's build. However I did citadel a fellow Yamato at 23k away and if any of you remember the movie Sleeper and the orgasmatron......deleting a minotaur in his own smoke after guessing where he was....well so far I am thrilled with this tier ten. Gearing was great, Zao was a fickle kitty to figure out, and Shima and Moskva were not what I hoped they would be.

Two thumbs up for this big boy!

I've grinded through the Izumo in co op only and it was actually quite fun.

 

Only took me a few weeks to grind it out fully without any use of free exp, plus I didn't even need to sell it as I got enough credits to buy the Yamato after playing through the Izumo plus some battles in my premium ships.
