Actually our cv player in this battle stole my kracken in full by ramming. Also the crimson containers are now rubbish and non random.

Also the crimson containers are now rubbish and non random. I think there is a misconception that Oktabyrskiya Revolutsiya has bad AA. Not sure what the raw numbers are, but her AA is certainly decent enough if you spec a little for it. I guess the red CV bought into the rumor and figured you were easy pickings. Your sample size on the containers is way too small, so I would expect your results to be really streaky. I considered buying this ship to get those containers, but looking at the contents I assumed that the distribution would be something like: 90% of crates award 1 day premium time 5% of crates award 5000 free XP 3% of crates award 250 doubloons 1% of crates award some other amount of doubloons 1% of crates award 2500 doubloons I could also see the first two swapped, but I doubt it. From WG's point of view, giving away premium time in small chunks really costs them nothing, and it potentially gets cheapskates like me the 'premium' experience, which hopefully means you are more willing to buy it later.

20 [-TAF-] asbuster Alpha Tester 65 posts 6,492 battles Report post #7 Posted October 12, 2017 Horrible ship. Guns bounce off battleships at 4.5Km range, armor is decent, but constantly being primaried by 6 ships doesnt help it... The sole reason i paly this thing is because of those special crates, but even doing so is aggrevating at best because of constant losing. My advice, sell this piece of junk, and never buy it.
