Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) The following is a condensed, abbreviated and conditional summary of the Lushun dockyard missions, for reference. I would ask that we confine the discussion to detailing your own progress and/or your strategies for carrying out the missions. Please keep the criticism on-topic and constructive. If there's anything here that's unclear, let me know and I'll clarify. Lushun dockyard SBT = Shipbuilding token Subs are eligible for co-op, randoms and operations only. All other missions appear to be eligible for all game modes except where explicitly stated, but verify in-game before setting out. For battle tasks (damage, sinkings, gun hits, etc), operations results will be counted at 50% (they were previously ineligible). Where the number of tasks to be performed is in question (i.e. "any six(?) of"), this is because the first stage demanded any six but has a reduced number of tasks when compared to the others; the actual number required for the follow-up stages is currently not visible, and may be higher. 1.

AdmiralThunder Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) I have found the missions in this dockyard far less onerous than expected and most are way easier than a bunch of the crazy ones in the Somme event (talk about some insane and ridiculous tasks). I don't consider this dockyard all that bad overall and even more so because it is a T10 which WG always goes overboard on the task requirements for. Certainly it will take some grind but I just didn't see one where I went OMG have they lost their minds. The 2X 35K BXP in week 8 seems to be the worst of the entire thing. And while some of the ship specific tasks in the various weeks seem a bit much for a specific ship class we have multiple to pick from and usually 2 of the others are much less work. As said, overall, I don't find this dockyard horrible. Edited August 17, 2023 by AdmiralThunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't need a mediocre T10 ship I'm not going to play. So I'll give it a pass this time. PS: They also made the camo ugly by making it a grey-blue, instead of the nifty test camo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbow Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The ship is interesting, and I have two 21-pointers ready for it. But as with the last 3 Dockyards, my overall strategy has been to refrain from actively monitoring my progress. I simply do not want to chain myself to dockyard events. I just play to what my heart desires. Sometimes I play in Randoms, with the intent of improving a few selected, but entirely controllable stats. Sometimes I play in Operations to get the 3 containers with the least amount of battles. If I reach the required number of phases, I'm okay. If not, I'm okay with it too. Having said that, I think the Combat Missions for the Lüshun Dockyard are way better and easily achievable than those for Somme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JER1971 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I bought the starter packs to give it a go because I collect ships. Base XP is a bit high, but it may only take a few games. I can usually get over a 1000 on a bad DD game and much more on a good one. In coop, ooof, that would take forever.

GandalfTehGray Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Always with the one stinker week. It would be less annoying for these base xp missions to be the last week that you generally get 2 weeks to work them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be less annoying for these base xp missions to be the last week that you generally get 2 weeks to work them out. We have ten weeks remaining to do eight remaining tasks, assuming you have already finished Part 1. The final phase is combat missions that should be able to be ground out post-haste in co-op, with extensive overlap between type specific and nonspecific. The key will be time management.

In stage/week 8 where those tasks come in you only need to do 1, or 2 max, of them to finish the stage/week. They aren't building phase tasks so none of them are mandatory in that regard. You need to do 6 tasks to complete the stage/week. There are 3 that give the building phases you have to do (or why bother) and then you have 7 others to choose from (including a very easy place top 5 4X (and Co-op counts). So doing the 3 that give building phases + the super easy top 5 4X means you only have to do 2 of the 35K BXP tasks -OR- just 1 of them if you are able to get a Kraken in PVP which is the other optional task. 70K BXP is a lot but it is doable. That group is probably the worst overall of the entire event. The final stage/week usually gives us 2 weeks to do it so even if you ran a little over getting stage/week 8 done you should still be ok as the final stage/week is not bad at all really.

Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) For the cap ribbons, may I suggest Somme/Jutland in brawls? Z-46 may work even better if you can get her aft-weighted armament properly to bear, as her hydro has a longer reach. Do not bring ships with deepwater torpedoes if you can help it, as you may find yourself facing majority (2/3) destroyers. Position well and get a BB/cruiser heavy team, and you can potentially farm huge numbers of cap ribbons.

SunkCostFallacy Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I pay attention to Dockyards to the extent that I want one of the 'lessor' rewards. In this case I'm working to reach level 20 and get the two weeks premium time, because I like premium time :D The current set of missions I'm wading through (3. The making of a Navy) is going fairly well except for one mission which I had actually expected to be pretty easy: In DD, get 30 defended, captured, assist ribbons Why is it taking so long? Because I keep getting put into ARMS RACE matches! Ah well ... soldier on (or sailor on if you must) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps if you get a team with plenty of bots on your side, be even without that I find low tier Co-op the place to do that missions. Ditto for 'get citadels' missions. Even something with average AP (destroyers) can get citadels on Tier 4/5/6 bot cruisers at close range, and vs bots it's not hard to get there 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, was all he could say. We aren't experts at play and mostly, PVE mains (with occasional dabbles in to Clan Battles) so we aren't the experts when it comes to PVP. Most of the rest of us simply aren't participating in the Dockyard as a spending real money level - just playing for the free stuff. If we gain a ship at the end, OK - if not, it makes no difference anymore. We gave up caring and spending two + years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project45_Opytny Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 18 minutes ago, Wulf_Ace said: to me looks and plays like Neustrashmy It's like the relationship between Siegfried and Sevastopol. Similiar but different. Lushun is more gun focused than her Soviet sister and has access to a (though possibly not recommended) double range build. A problem for present seems that, she has some potential for destroyer knifefight, torpedo attack and long range build but also sub-optimal at either. Too slow comparing with Soviet and French gunboat DLs and being nerfed regarding DPM and concealment just before release, while for the curical role of a Tier X destroyer, "contester but worse than Marceau/Smaland" isn't a very good position. For players from China though the ship herself (an Ersatz Luda, anyway with not bad performance and close enough with the historical ship) and how the missiond marathon episodes are named are gorgeous, or at least showing how WG is willing to please this section of the playerbase. Though their effort has been sabotaged by themselves for a few times, from a dim-witted staff mentioning her namesake region's colonial past at her original introduction to her release happened amid the quarrels over global price rise and the 8th Anniversary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
