Did she skyrocket in price? Was there a way to win her or buy her at a deeply discounted price? I'm a real tight-fisted buyer on WoWS. Yes, today I bought Massachusetts but only with a 30% discount coupon. In fact, within the last two minutes. I know there is simply no way I would have spent that kind of money on Georgia. So yea, help me remember! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know there is simply no way I would have spent that kind of money on Georgia. So yea, help me remember! Tier IX premiums have always hovered around $70 US in price. However, as others have mentioned Georgia is also a coal ship. That is how I got mine, as well as my Jean Bart, which was also offered in the premium shop. $70+ is a bit much for any ship, IMO.

Ah... now that would be most likely. Thanks Khafni and @Nevermore135 Bit much, yup... but guess that tells us how they value coal. You know it gets cold up north...

You buy doubloons with the 30% off coupon, then you use the doubloons with the 25% discount in the armory to buy the ship you want.

806 [GRETA] HallaSnackbar Members 1,266 posts 10,131 battles Report post #10 Posted September 17, 2020 I bought mine with coal, after having her for a while I would say she is definitely worth 70.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, good deal! Though I'd actually have to buy more doubloons (probably the 12500 package) than I need if I wanted to get the Massachusetts, as an example. So I'd have extra doubloons which is nice, but the $ end result is something less than a 30% in that case. However, that extra doubloons might come in handy should I want to spend it on the last 2 stages of the current Anchorage dockyard mission to complete that. Very interesting! 6 minutes ago, Herr_Reitz said: I just took the 30% off as I'd previously spent my 20% discount a couple months back... the Massachusetts that is.. The Massachusetts if any is the one I have my eye on in the premium shop, even though I already have the Alabama and California. Also thinking of just getting a tier 6 CV instead as I really don't want to grind a tier 4 CV (the only type I have) and not having a CV does limit my options a bit with regards to missions and campaigns.

I got a notice in game to look at the 5 year anniversary screen. After scrolling through that, I returned to the WoWs client and saw another message for the 30% coupon.

I was looking to add to my CV fleet... but then I realized man, I got more than enough CVs... I want a ship that is, for the most part, heading towards legendary signage... I expect her to be yanked from sale this year. But I'm totally speculating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
