2,614 [A-I-M] Utt_Buggly Members 4,956 posts 18,532 battles Report post #1 Posted April 26, 2021 Like many of you, I’m not overwhelmed by the new German destroyers, and am looking to utilize the German DD Tokens elsewhere. A number of you have spoken about exchanging them for tokens, or letting them exchange automatically, when the event ends. I ran some numbers, and that may not be the most efficient exchange possible. If you buy signal flags from the armory, you might be shorting yourself. The math: Per the armory right now: 600 Tokens cashed in for Credits will get you 1.26M credits. Conversely, 540 Tokens (1.134M credits worth) cashed in for the +20% damage repair boost and -20% fire duration flags (two bundles at 270 tokens each) will net 20 each of those flags. Buying that amount of those same flags with credits will cost 4.36M credits. So, you can buy 4.36M worth of flags for Tokens that will net you about 1/4 of that in credits. Now, you can use your 50% flag discount coupons, and get that down to a 2:1 ratio, but it’s still a 2:1 loss, and you’re out the coupons, to boot. Some of the other German DD Token offerings in the armory may be comparative bargains, as well. Check them out for yourself. As a BB main, I’m always going through heal and fire flags. Something else may be useful for you. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
886 [FRFR] SeaGladius Members 1,674 posts Report post #2 Posted April 26, 2021 Thanks for this post. I hadn’t run the numbers, but wasn’t impressed with the amount of credits you got for tokens. I’m always short of speed flags, so I decided to grab a couple packs of those, and quite glad I did so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

408 [GLF] AnimaL21 Members 1,349 posts 24,016 battles Report post #6 Posted April 26, 2021 I use every token, from every one of these goofy release events on whatever expendable camo is able to be bought with them. On some of the events you can really buy a LOT of camo's. Having a boatload of +100% xp ones really help when you're regrinding lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any way I can stock more VLs...and basically for free, is a win-win for me, not so much for the soon-to-be BB Flambé Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The value of having them as credits is you can spend them on ANYTHING. But the fire flags are a particularly good deal IMO. Personally I'm just holding them all for now, hoping that maybe WG will have a "part 2" of it and have something even better than what's now available... since I don't "need" for anything that I can get currently anyway.

I’ve never bothered before, because I’ve always had some modicum of interest in a new line. But not this time. There usually is a part 2 of an event, but expect the offerings and the tokens to change, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
