1,997 STINKWEED_ Members 3,354 posts 20,684 battles Report post #1 Posted July 10, 2020 So here I am using my German ships to complete the German tokens missions thinking I'm going to earn a perma camo for my Hindenburg or Kurfurst. After looking more carefully, some missions require early access German CVs that I don't and likely won't have. The perma camos cost 600 tokens but the most tokens we can earn if we don't have the early access CVs is 540. Are there more tokens to be won elsewhere or is this another deception and a waste of time? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While the event in whole is confusing as all get out, they were quite clear in the tokens section that you can only earn 600 tokens if you get all 3 EA CV's AND have GZ/GZ-B, otherwise you gotta pay. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're not into carriers, there's nothing on the side besides some extra signals and such. If you don't get the carriers in EA and don't have GZ, you're locked out of half the tokens, and if you're not going to get enough tokens for at least one of the permacamos, you're better off just letting them time out for credits in a couple months.

I have been trying to show how many event tokens players can earn for the past few events: Without any Early Access CVs or premium ships, you can earn 300 German Tokens max. With the Early Access CVs, you can earn 540. With the Early Access CVs and GZ, you can earn 600. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now having read this post I see no reason to bother with trying to earn tokens since I have no intention of spending dubs. Thanks for the heads up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, everyone has their own priorities, so what's right for you might not be so right for someone else. It is, however, worth noticing that WG has taken up events with rewards which REQUIRE the players to spend actual cash rather than the old method of just grinding until your eyeballs fell out. And, again, priorities; while for some this might be perfectly acceptable, for me, if I'm going to have to dig out the plastic anyways, why bother at all with the grind? I'd rather just spend the cash if I want the item that bad. But, hey; enjoy your camo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was playing the daily container's and finished the German phase one tasks along the way. When I went to see where I was collecting for the dailies, I realized I had "several" German containers. The last one I opened was a mission for the Tier 4 German Carrier.... I played several more daily COOP non event missions and finished that German combat mission requirement and the carrier is in port.... Seems there are at least three mission those containers can drop. Tier 4-5-6 I'd guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
