Have had two really nice battles in both "Helena" and "Belfast" with > 2000 BXP. I tried Helena, just to shake things up for me as it has been Atlanta ever since. It can be a pain to score big Base XP numbers in a Helena when the Atlanta seems to be the perfect ship for this mode. I had to double my efforts.

Frostbow Posted Thursday at 07:19 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:19 PM 3RD ASSAULT Now this one's a bit weird. While this one had my highest damage so far, at 154655; all of our ships were destroyed and we earned zero stars. Yet it was still a 3167 Base XP Victory? Not that I'm complaining.

I've only lost 1 in 8-9 attempts, in under 90 seconds, because the E-boats torped a DD in distress that spawned particularly early. I still got 1200 xp in that one, which is insane for a loss in Operations. Most other results were 3-3.8k. Atlanta, of course: it's not just the guns or the radar or the AA, it's the depth charges that let you plow through the minefields. Yep, I knew it! 😄 Congratulations! And yes, time to use up those big boosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enquiring minds wanna know. Blue ones. Free cpt. xp must've been 65k or so. This is a different game, with red boosters but "only" 3.5k or so base xp. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmo_2 Posted Thursday at 10:59 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:59 PM 3 hours ago, Frostbow said: Yes, Boise has endurance that Atlanta does not have. Boise is a good choice. I tried Boise, although admittedly only once. Her rate of fire was a bit slow after running Atlanta numerous times, but Boise does hit harder. Between the two, the verdict was decided based on Atlanta's better AA ability and even more importantly, her ability to clear mines with a lot of depth charges. Boise's air drops just can't compete, and I have cleared A LOT of mines per game with Atlanta. Players should use whatever works for them, but for me Atlanta is the clear choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfswetpaws Posted Thursday at 11:46 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:46 PM I tried a couple of Tier-5 French DD's and the Tier-5 French BB Bretagne, earlier today. First game was a defeat. But I wasn't too worried and simply decided that it was my first game in the mode and thus a "practice run". Subsequent games were a mix of victories and defeats with the victories being slightly more numerous. I guess everyone was learning the operation. It was a change of pace and something different to try. A success in that regard, at least. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GandalfTehGray Posted Friday at 12:59 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:59 AM Definitely carriable in an Atlanta. First SC boat still paying off years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnirf Posted Friday at 01:49 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:49 AM (edited) My best result in my yesterdays grind of Humpries from 395/500 on the 19 p to 21 and then some was this: I had large spread ofc but a few more 3.000 BXP, even though there were games down to around 1.000 when screwing up but the rewards mede me slam reds after a while like the game here. All wins except l1 loss, if the players refuse to pick up survivors you can not fix all. Many BBs = worse result, star wise, reached the captain + a few on next. Did not play anything else during my roughly 4 hours. Edited Friday at 01:55 AM by Gnirf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta is the best ship for Omaha Beach Assault. For those who want to experience the Operation using a different ship, the Boise fits the bill. And Helena too. 2 hours ago, pepe_trueno said: when atlantas are not on duty. Borderline unfair if there are 3-4 Atlantas. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2_2 Posted Friday at 05:15 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:15 AM (edited) Most likely "Atlanta" is best suited for "Omaha Beach Assault", but sometimes even the super slow "WV 44" is better in combat. 😁 Here me carrying several Atlantas, Boises and other cruisers. Only 1 star achieved, but still > 2000 BXP for me and my slow BB. Second account. Edited Friday at 05:16 AM by OT2_2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbow Posted Friday at 08:38 AM Share Posted Friday at 08:38 AM Highest Base XP I have seen so far is 11148. Sims in a Division of 6. Damage farming those German DDs. https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/s/AqZqkOub31 Better farm this Operation before WG will tax it. 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, getting a div willing to do that should just be a perk for team builders... leave the rest of us alone. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_82 Posted Friday at 03:02 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:02 PM Besides all controversial aspects, this Operation is imho poorly designed/"optimized". Just had two matches - 6 minutes remaining - where I had nothing to do except minesweeping duty in one match. Drove around in circles in the other one because there were no minefields to sweep. 🙄 Noticed in another match one or two Torpedo squadrons just endlessly circling the landing ships; I have no idea why they did not attack.

I've been using the remaining minutes to go near the beach and shoot down any airplane that appears. Makes more Base XP, until they nerfed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
