Yes, I bought her from the CT T7 box in the Santas Process as this was the only ship I did not have so it seems like a 3200 dbl refund. It is basically similar to you. I have btw decided to get this ship without any starter pack, i have always more or less bought the large (not both) and get some extra steel but have decided to not buy the large this time, I have enough steel to cover next coupons steel ship + nearly two more so no urgent need.

Leo_Apollo11 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Hi all, I only have 8 Capture / Assisted Capture to do... others done in Asymmetric battles with USN CV Yorktown 8grind done) and 8 Grosse Kurfurst Ranked games... Leo "Apollo11" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangofan Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 So far things have been very easy, but I'm a bit concerned about week 6 (particularly since I'll be traveling during that week and have to try to catch up later). So far I've done all the dockyard missions in PvE. I usually don't play CV, but I noticed that week 6 has spotting damage for CVs, and so I'm wondering, if it is viable (and easy enough) to get the Yorktown (120k FXP) and use the smoke support consumable to get spotting damage somewhat reliably. Also I haven't played much Operations in a long time, so I'm wondering, if getting 5 awards in Operations is doable. If so, what's the best approach? Otherwise I'd have to do three of the ship-type specific missions, which seems like a major pain point. I appreciate any advice on how to tackle that week's missions in an effective manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is basically similar to you. Similarly here, though I had 3 more ships in the list: Yukon and Boise Florida, which I'll probably go for in the trade-in event Maybe I should've spent the 3200 dubs and saved the CT container for later, after getting the WV '44 in the normal progression, but I kind of wanted to get the Wisconsin for free... Plus, honestly, after the next CT ship I'm probably not going to have much use for them anymore, other than some funky permacamo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm skeptical about the CV and smoke thing in Co-Op. Yorktown is a poor spotter in the general case since her fighters have negligible spot radius. If you have or can find friends, I'd suggest a division with your best CV and two buddies with high DPM smoke ships. They can sit next to each other and intentionally blind themselves with smoke; Then, just dog the bots with fighters while your div mates gun them down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's not what I hoped, at least it saves me the FXP and the credits to get the Yorktown. The idea with buddies helping sounds great, but unfortunately I'll need to complete the missions on my own. Perhaps I go with potential damage instead, but that is certainly a huge grind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran a quick Co-Op game with my Yorktown to test my theory and came away with 22k spot, which is not a practical number. The map was too open to obstruct the sight lines of more than one ship, and they closed to proximity detection range before I could drop my third smoke screen. Sample size is one but that doesn't seem like a promising number. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 22k spotting damage would be about 55 to 60 coop missions to reach 1.2M spotting damage. ☹️ A tough week indeed... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensign Cthulhu Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Mission line-up for Stage 3, opening Wednesday. Any six of the following to pick up one token and open the next phase when the time-gate unlocks. 800 of any ribbon, 115/day 1200 primary or secondary gun hit ribbons, 172/day (but see the DD task) (Token) earn 5.7 million Credits before cost deductions, = 814,286 per day (Token) 130,000 ship XP = 18,572 per day (the third daily crate is almost exactly twice this!) CV - Score 450 rocket hits (65/day) BB - Shoot down 100 aircraft (15/day) Cruiser - Get 20 torpedo hits Destroyer - Get 1500 main battery hits (see that doing this finishes two of the nonspecific tasks), 215/day Submarine - Get 20,000 BASE XP (2,858 per day) In Ranked/Randoms only: Get 3 million potential damage in a single battle. Note that 130,000 is 6.5 x 20,000, which means that if you take on the submarine task and use blue boosters, you should finish the ship XP task also. Anyone working a Tier 6 sub up to Tier 8 should take note; this will take a fairly significant chunk out of that grind. However, anyone who plays to the third crate every night in any ship will finish the ship XP task easily. Unless you are divisioned with a CV routinely, the BB shootdown mission is dependent on the whims of matchmaking and I would advise against deliberately trying to complete it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7CentNickel Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Finished 2, waiting on 3. Won't open it until I get closer to the WV44, just in case I need to buy a level or two with the discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are divisioned with a CV routinely, the BB shootdown mission is dependent on the whims of matchmaking and I would advise against deliberately trying to complete it. The poor synergies between those missions and my current projects are pretty funny. I'm pushing torp-focused CVs, gun-only cruisers, and torp-first DDs. The BB mission is just bad. It's still an easy week. As you note, the 1,500 main battery hits for DDs counts triple. The only question is whether I slog it out the slow way while pushing for Shimmy or speed-run it with a machine gun boat in Co-Op. I'll knock out the 20 CL torp hits with a speed-boosting Frenchy in Co-Op, and if 3 & 4 haven't cleared themselves by casual play a few blue boosters on my grinds and a couple rounds of Musashi will straighten them up right quick over the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Cthulhu Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 13 minutes ago, Tricericon said: The poor synergies between those missions and my current projects are pretty funny. Some of mine are good and others not so much. My current projects as a co-op main are: Yorktown - not less than 2000 XP per day, then stop as soon as I reach or exceed that. Parseval - not less than 2000 XP per day, as above. FDG, Riga, Brindisi, Felix Schultz - not less than 1000 XP/day as above. (To borrow an old phrase, the wheels grind slow, but exceedingly fine. Most of these will be done by the Anniversary.) The carriers are meh-ish for hits, since the Yorktown's rocket planes have Tiny Tims and Parseval's don't do much unless they hit a soft-skinned cruiser in exactly the right place (and then they are devastating). But I'm practicing with the rockets anyway, so that's not too bad. FDG I'm just going to play to the minimum and leave that task alone. Riga is gun-only. Fortunately, Brindisi has torpedoes so I can get this week's cruiser mission done with a grind ship without too many problems. Felix Schultz doesn't fire all that fast compared to some other destroyers (six guns at ~10rpm each), but once I have the worklist ships done on Wednesday and thereafter, I'm going to dust off my Star Kitakaze and let rip. That will take care of three missions, then I can pull Kitakaze back to reserve and bring in some torp-spewing cruisers to supplement Brindisi. After that, I can bring in carriers with large numbers of rockets (hello Aquila, among others). The credits mission should be done well before the time gate, which will make six - and if by some chance I still haven't got the XP task done then it can roll on naturally as I start on Phase 4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcus_Aesopi Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Done with phase 2 last Thursday or Friday... Just finished the loot dash thingie...

Wolfswetpaws Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Completed the "1,700 main-battery or secondary-battery gun hits" ribbons mission. In doing so, I finished the six required missions to gain the "Forward for Freedom" (complete 6 missions) shipbuilding phase. This places me at the 6 Dockyard phases completed position of the dockyard progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
