HUH? I believe I read in the armory that IF you have all the ships and/or permacamos you will receive 250 dubs as your prize if you receive one of these in your container. What happened to receiving the ship’s value or camo value in dubs??? 250 dubs?? Come on WGing… Edited January 28, 2022 by cgbosn4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since there are so few ships and they are all available for purchase it would be pretty easy to game the system by buying all of them and then just purchasing crates to potentially get more dubs than you spent. They are simply substituting the ships category to the dubs category which is 750/250 for premium/basic crates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am confuzzled, and I am not often confuzzled about these events. Last year they released 'Journey to the West' crates with those ships since they did some weird 'Lunar New Year: Part 2' thing I guess purely to grab max cash from those who celebrate the holiday. Since not rereleasing Bajie, Wukong and etc. is just leaving money on the table I'm guessing they will be doing that some time soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember the article from last year. Your google-fu failed you, I'm afraid! I'm well aware that is the article from 1 year ago. I was answering your question about which crates contained Bajie/Wukong etc. I had a similar wonder as others in this thread if they are going to bring them back this year. They still have yet to release Dalian, the named PA commander and the Chung Mu camo, so it seems very likely there will be some more armory events.

My general thinking on this is "can I complete the task in < 25 battles" (thinking about dockyard for example). If the answer is no, then it seems rather ridiculous for a mission. This is a good example. Sometimes I might get 3-4 achievememts (high caliber, kraken, first kill etc.) but you are not going to get that in every battle.... so for many this kind of criteria feels like 75 battles.... unless as one user said... ram... but that also means a yolo situation in most cases which is not a winning attitude. The dockyard battle of 1200 main battery hits (for a BB) was nuts.... I mean I'd get 30 or 40 on average in a battle... but that is still 30-40 battles right? I have virtually all ships... so was able to take BBs with higher fire rates and accuracy.... but that is not the case for many users. I mean if you only had New York and New Mexico.... ouch. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went through that, and this is a walk in the park by comparison - to the point where I've finished most of this in co-op. Please stop playing that card.

But as a tier 7 cruiser, the doubloons price is in line with the other tier 7 cruisers.... plus you get some extra stuff. (Not that I'm defending it... I just think the dragon camos are pretty neat, except for the red eyes on the blue one.) Are the Dragon ships actually premium-ized tier 7 Myoko cruisers, or are they progression / tech tree only but with a permanent camo attached? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
