Tier 6 is fine...it's better than tier 10, IMO.

Less to do with luck, more to do with probability based on not having cleaned out the more common drops tier. I've gotten 5 ships total out of the free Santa crates so far this year. Yes I'd have been considerably happier if my particular haul had at least one more cruiser which is the class I play the most. And my greed would have really appreciated a T9 showing up. However what I got was "free" with some time and effort and at least they are no longer in my pool for future chances.

Because yeah, my haul of the season was a T5 DD, a T6 CV from the rare pool, and a T7 grab bag of a CL, DD, and BB. With the one cruiser I received being normally available for coal (the Lazo) and simply I hadn't gotten around to buying it yet. *shrugs* Personally I've gotten more use out of the Dmitry Podharzsky and Scharnhorst '43 that were available to anyone with enough effort. I could wish that the one rare pool ship I got was something I'd play more often but RNG said no.

I had not cleared:

0 on Tier V

6 on Tier VI

2 on Tier VII

and, as luck would have it, WG concentrated on Tier VI for me... 😬

 

Next year all I wold have free is Tier VIII... 🙂

Spoiler

I was able to get one more Mega Santa container and it gave me T7 Maya.  I am VERY happy with my haul this year with seven ships.

Just received T5 Hill from one of the two Big Santa crates from the Dockyard rewards.  That makes it a total of eight ships this Holiday event and I still have two more Mega Santa crates later in the Dockyard.

Nice streak of luck, indeed, @Frostbow.

I was surprised because I was totally not expecting any luck to come my way. I guess WG's decision to remove certain ships from the list and then replacing it with premiums of which I already have (e.g., Jager, Brisbane, Tokachi, etc.) helped. Good thing they also removed the Marco Polo, and the Groningen from the list—these were ships that I currently do not have an interest on because I got the G. Verdi and the Friesland from 2022.

I converted my New Year's Certificates earned from the Holidays in Santa City, and got another ship.

I used up a decade's worth of luck already. LOL

I got the Louisiana last night and played my first game in her today. Got a Santa Ticket, cashed it in for my last small gift of the season, Almirante Grau popped out.

For free, I picked up 33 Santa gifts (got T6 London, T7 Hood and 500 dubs), 7 big santa gifts (none of the big prizes) and 8 Mega Santa gifts (got T9 Iwami).

I bought the premium Santa City, and got 3 more Mega's (got T7 Collingwood, along with T7 Stord, captains, etc.).

I bought the 4 Big Santa gifts for coal from the Salvage for Victory (nothing special - just credits and blue econ bonuses).

I bought the progressive bundles for 8778 doubloons and it gave 12 Santa gifts, 3 Big gifts and 3 Mega gifts (got 1,500 dubs from a big) along with the other stuff. 

So total 45 Santa gifts, 14 Big and 14 Mega got me a T6, 2xT7, a T9 (a good roll since I had quite a few ships in the lower tier category) and 2,000 doubloons.  Probably slightly better than the odds.

I whaled 8 Big containers, just enough to proc the "pity mechanism", since the free ones had yielded no ships. Save for Leipzig, I was going to get a Tier 7 at least, so I figured it was worth it.

Turned out to be much better than the 20 Megas I bought two weeks ago, which only rolled a Collingwood: this was the only premium time drop this Christmas/New Year's, which is especially welcome since I had less than a month left.

I'm wondering if I shouldn't go Big over Mega next year, even with the free crates: the expected value is lower, but with more crates to open one is less likely to be a victim of catastrophically bad luck...

Hi all,

Almost done... rather bad luck for me... 5 ships but 4 out of those Tier VI... also not much Doubloons (for example none with" Mega")... now just 2x "Mega" from Dockyard in the future but for all purposes this is done event...

Still two more megas from Michaelangelo, but from three more megas came two T8 ships...

Tone and Anhalt. Free is free I guess. Makes total number of ships from crates 6 (Lepzig, Poltava, Toulon, Schonberg, Tone, Anhalt)

So, since I think I won't be able to get any more crates on my secondary account, here is my haul:

36 small crates - T VI Molotov, 500 dubs (6x), 2500 coal (4x), 20000 captain XP (1x) , 400000 credits (2x), flags (7x), green boosters (13x), blue boosters (1x), 5 camos (1x)

8 big crates - 15 camos (2x), flags (2x), 1500 dubs (1x), blue booster (3x)

1 mega crate - blue boosters

Not great, not terrible.

All in all quite happy with this, however the BP daily exp was and now is a nightmare (2000 bxp, which is 10000xp every day is an unnecessary pain) and im seriously not doing it again anymore. To hell with this and future BPs if the BXP stays the same.

Well done - a very good ship - but seriously do NOT give broadside to a BB with AP loaded. I took mine out for naval battles this afternoon (co-op), and slapped the bot GC in one salvo from my front guns only. 4 citadels and a normal penetration.

She's a great ship, but won't save you if you potate.

Polished off the free portion of the Dockyard this morning. Sadly no ship was hiding in the final two mega crates, just boxes of 20 each for blue CXP and FXP boosters. Which means my total run off the santa crates for the year remains at six ships total.

Namely the T5 Siroco, T6 Leipzig, T6 Erich Loewenhardt, T7 Lazo, T7 Leningrad, and T7 Yukon.
