991 [HELLS] GrandAdmiral_2016 Members 2,969 posts 39,904 battles Report post #13 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Mine will be done today as I am down to 4000 base XP to grind. Do this plus Part 2 of the Best Battle missions at the same time. The Best Battle missions force me to play Randoms but most of the grind was in Co-op without flags so I combine both for the time it takes to get the supercrate. Since i had to regrind Friedrich der Grosse to 255 XP to get ready for Preussen next patch (I have Grosser Kurfurst) I have put in a lot of time playing just that ship as I rarely play German BBs at all since they were nerfed a few patches back. Did about two-thirds of the potential damage mission in it and half of the gazillion hits as well. For the rest I just used my premiums/specials with my 21-pointers and high 19-pointers as captains and ground another 21-pointer. If you have to grind, might as well be productive... EDIT: I did the whole thing just to get Repulse, a real ship, that is a blast to play Edited January 27, 2022 by GrandAdmiral_2016 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree. This is my philosophy always: where possible, favour the use of ships on my grind priority list, premiums in nations with a 21 pointer (including the current front-runner candidate), or - if applicable - both.
