456 bubbleboy264 Members 455 posts 8,072 battles Report post #1 Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) I’ve had the ship for a few days now, and I really like her. But the credit earnings are atrocious. Last game I did 150k dmg and got over 1800 base xp and won, yet got only 341k credits, after repairs and consumables it’s only 200k. I don’t have premium or a bunch of Zulu flags, and the earnings are nothing like the million plus games everyone said I would consistently get. No one said that was only possible with flags, camo, and premium. Little white mouse said you could easily get millions of credits in a few games. She never said you needed all these extra boosts to do that. I spent 120 dollars converting xp to get what I thought would solve my credit issues. Well it hasn’t. Not even close. The earnings are better, and I can get over 400k-600k earnings in a monster game, but even though I average over 100k dmg and and getting much better, the earnings are awful compared to what was said. I’m pretty pissed about this. I know it’s mainly my fault for not doing more in depth research, but still it’s ridiculous that no community contributer that I know of said that you need bonuses and premium to actually get million credit games. I still love the ship but I’m very mad that I’m still gonna have to constantly deal with low credits and I’m not spending any more money on this game so what I have is what I got. It’s just so frustrating Edited November 7, 2017 by bubbleboy264 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buy premium time, never pay to convert xp. Mouse did lay out the credit earning in her review "Earns 50% more credits than a tier 8 Premium, 100% more than a tech-tree ship."

39,481 [HINON] Lert Alpha Tester 27,858 posts 27,301 battles Report post #6 Posted November 7, 2017 You were not lied to. You simply took information from different sources and combined them into a fantasy expectation. Also, 150k dmg and 1800 base XP and only 341k credits? I am suspect. Running without premium I'm assuming? Because that sounds more like a 500k game than a 340k one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver linings my friend :) I think that is a wonderful bonus in and of itself. Yeah you can maximize your millions or whatever with premium/flags/camo. But still, 200K+ for a single game? That's still a great income (5 games = 1 million). I feel like you had your sights on just benefits and possibilities than wanting to own the ship to play/enjoy it.

2,263 [TSG4] ObiphanKenobi Volunteer Moderator, Privateers 3,979 posts 22,251 battles Report post #12 Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Like all the ppl had stated above. I was very closed to earn the MO before and I was very tempted to convert xp to free XP, but after a few post comparing to Lert, I rather saved the doubloons for other uses and I did. I had like over 2 mils to convert if I really wanted the MO that bad. I also had read LWM post, I checked youtube for video, I discussed with my div mate, I spec the MO to MY OWN play style. General common sense, if you wanted to credit grind ALWAYS = pre camo, credit signals, pre time. Common sense, common sense common sense, common sense. where common sense GONE to? Oh, your damage and base XP earned = I am laughing at IT. Dude, you got to do better then that ..... during the course, how many devastating strike, citadel hit??? don't forget about the game mechanic .... wait, let me reminded you, the more damage the better and of course you do everything else in the game. Get it????? Edited November 7, 2017 by ObiwankzKenobi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
269 Merlox Members 832 posts 5,277 battles Report post #13 Posted November 7, 2017 Hey, Playing a Tier 9 and Tier 10 without any type of premium and still making positive on nearly every game. That's pretty brilliant considering most people go red. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,498 Grizley Beta Testers 6,868 posts 4,189 battles Report post #14 Posted November 7, 2017 I have 1 mil games without flags, and my stats aren't especially great in it. Just premium is good enough. Aim at cruisers and DDs, only shoot BBs that are broadside unless you're sure you won't have a better shot in the next 30 seconds. Hitting BBs is only for damage padding really. You want to kill the high impact ships. DDs, radar cruisers and then other cruisers and BBs that actually play the objectives. Ignore the snipers and kiters.

NO ONE mentions credit earnings without premium. You still however made a VERY hefty net profit without premium in a TIER 9 warship and STILL own the absolute best warship you can for money.

Well what if your in the vast majority of the player base who doesn’t get premium why don’t reviews mention credit earnings without premium if so many people don’t use it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,094 [LRM] AphelionMarauder [LRM] Members 3,004 posts 13,251 battles Report post #19 Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) I see where you are coming from. You heard about the ship and all the cool things that apparently it could do and such, yet, here you are and you have a bad experience in it. While I understand that you heard rhetoric and came to a conclusion, that is all you heard, rhetoric. You need to look into facts about the ship and actual on-paper statistics while knowing how those translate into physical essence when playing the game. I suggest you read the wiki for this game, and sift through the page on credit earnings. It would have told you more beforehand. So you don't make the same mistake again, here are some resources: . (for the credit earning flags) http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Flags (for credit earning camo's) http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Camouflage (for how the ingame economy works) http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Economy (about the Missouri herself) http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Missouri I hope this helps you out! =) Edited November 7, 2017 by Battleship_MaineMk1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

101 [VVV] Naviss Beta Testers 814 posts 7,973 battles Report post #23 Posted November 7, 2017 I think 120$ is a bit much for a premium ship. But WG does this to try and prevent what just happened. Overall the ship itself is amazing, And if you've already went up the USN BB line you'll know what you're getting into with the Iowa. I feel like the community over hypes the ship alittle bit, Since we all want to post great games. But average games is 400 - 600k games, With premium and with the supplied camo and flags to boost this. No matter, it will still be the best credit earning ship you can get in the game right now. Just don't go expecting million dollar rounds every game without the added boosts. You'll make darn good money though no matter what, But if you wanted a ship that just gives you 2 million credits every round, without anything else, you're in dream world. Still a grind but a much easier and way more fun of a grind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
