437 [LZ1] murder_0ne Members 297 posts 6,360 battles Report post #4 Posted November 29, 2020 I caved and bought 10 containers. Didn't get anything good. Just some additional game time, signals and some camos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice haul! the sad thing is that it is still a waste of money. I dont need any one of those botes. I was going for camos and just the surprise of seeing if I could pull just one ship.. The missions are nice though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
32 [WOLFD] CaptEvul Members 99 posts 7,101 battles Report post #6 Posted November 29, 2020 Wow, very nice haul. My wife and I also caved and bought some of the boxes. Surprisingly, we also pulled several ships between the two of us. Sometimes the gamble pays off. Congrats on yours coming out well for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds like the luck I had with the Air Supply crates in the Summer Sale - five available at most, and I drew Saipan, Enterprise and Graf Zeppelin.

10,073 [SALVO] Crucis Members 25,816 posts 28,147 battles Report post #10 Posted November 29, 2020 I had no interest in any of the black ships since I already have all of the normal versions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly!! The same here. I just wanted a few Shadow Lurker camos. I guess it knew that and chose to screw me out of them -- didnt get a one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DO NOT EXPECT THIS Bought one (yes one) crate and got a ship. Too bad it will end up being a port queen as it is the Kaga B. Might grab one more and hope for some flags/signals or something.

56 [PMWC1] DM31 Members 210 posts 6,853 battles Report post #17 Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) I did something similar. Had all the regular ships but decided to buy 25 of the 2020 crates. Got all 4 ships. It’s good value with the doubloon missions but not needed I guess. Anyway these are some of my favorites and I’ll put them to good use.

5,704 [SIM] SkaerKrow Members 5,587 posts 9,012 battles Report post #18 Posted November 30, 2020 Congratulations! But for every amazing result like thus, there are twenty or thirty people that got no ships at all. Something for crate chasers to keep in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
409 [TDG] YeOldeTraveller Members 1,853 posts 13,940 battles Report post #19 Posted November 30, 2020 The only crates I bought were the ones in the Armory series. I only pulled the trigger when I looked at what was guaranteed. I ended up with no ships, but I am fine with that as I had all of the originals. I got 82K Free XP which is worth more than I spent, so the rest is gravy. And I used Doubloons I already had on-hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
