Captain Slattery Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Phase 15 complete. I got to watch my very first launch. As always, the Art Department just knocks it out of the park. I am at 70k on the Earn 140k XP mission. I have 2.1 million of the 3.5 million damage mission. I have 36 of the Get 50 Incapacitations mission. I can't get a fight with a DD to save my life right now! If one (maybe two) are on the enemy team, they spawn NOWHERE near me. It's becoming hilarious. I've been co-oping with anything I can get my hands on from Dallas at tier 6 all the way to Smolensk at tier 10. I'm beginning to think that the DDs have gone the way of the DoDos.

HamptonRoads Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Week 6 is in the books. 6 caps 140K experience 4000 ribbons 3.5 million damage 14 citadels (BBs) 50 incapacitations (CA/CL) 665K damage with torpedoes (DDs) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath_of_Deadguy Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Bleh. Real Life(tm) has made noises like it's planning to dance on my face in soccer cleats again, so I bought out the remaining stages (except the ribbon token, which was easy to farm out with the usual dakkabotes, and the two stages I got for owning Leipzig). If I'm wrong, and I can still play enough to finish the missions, then the steel can go towards my next big Armory buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnirf Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 5 out of 6 fixed after fridays three hour session. Which one of the likely two that brings me to 6 is an open matter (XP or Battleship mission). Easy when you play at my volume. So soon ready for final week. I have not the time to make any exact comparisons but does it not feel easier than earlier Dockyards?

MidnightPhoenix07 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Finished the caps mission yesterday. Got the remaining citadels I needed today while grinding Minnesota, and finished the XP and torp damage missions. Just ribbons and damage left for this stage.

BigHeadShrimp Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 "Hard Times" mission done. The 200% first win booster really helped. 4 ops games finished the XP task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfswetpaws Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Finished the "Hard Times" mission-chain, last night, with the completion of the "Get 50 incapacitation ribbons" (while sailing a Cruiser) task. Which brought me to completion of 6 out of 6 missions and gave me a dockyard phase as a reward. I'm two dockyard phases beyond welcoming the Almirante Oquendo, now. Each bonus phase rewarded me with 250 steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels much easier. Wisconsin also felt easier than it should have with a T10 ship as the prize. This Dockyard has been very combat-focused, a boon to co-op players. I would almost be tempted to say it was made for them. In addition, two of the perennial major gripes have been removed: potential damage tasks and large chunks of base XP in multiple ship types. Even the 60K in the upcoming phase isn't as mean as it looks when you realize it's just ONE task accessible to ALL ships over TWO weeks, and it doesn't even have a token on it. Pick up an extra combat task and you can leave it unfinished! 10 hours ago, BigHeadShrimp said: "Hard Times" mission done. The 200% first win booster really helped. Very generously timed. I should be going into Randoms to claim those, but I'm on call this week and I don't like to play Randoms under those conditions if I can avoid it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A co-op megaspud like me can get 19 phases completed with no "out of pocket" expenditures. This has been VERY co-op friendly. You have to give the Devil his due on this one. Good on WG for this one. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get one to save my life yesterday and then finished off the mission this morning easily as I was getting 4-6 each game. It wasn't a boring grind like Base XP as with the incapacitations you know the next game you could get 5+ and make up for the last 3 dry game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangofan Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) Question about week 7. The tasks in week 7 seem pretty straightforward: 85 "Aircraft shot down" or "Shot down by fighter" ribbons Earn 9.2M credits (earns a token) 3.5M main or secondary battery hits (earns a token) 60k Base XP Various amounts of ribbons for the ship-type-specific missions I think I'm going to skip the BXP mission #4 and will do the ribbon missions for DD, BB and CA, since I'm travelling and my play-time is limited. However I'm not so sure how easy or difficult it will be to complete the mission #1 (plane-kill ribbons), since I'm a coop and ops player and it's hit-or-miss, as to whether you get attacked by the bot CV. Any advice there? Alternatively, I am wondering, if it might be worth skipping mission #1 and taking a German CV into coop (since they supposedly have good secondaries) and complete the CV ribbon-mission. I have the Immelmann, Graf Zeppelin and Parseval. Would that be a viable approach? If so, which of the 3 would be the best CV for that?

The Parseval actually has a longer-range secondary suite, compared with the GZ. But the GZ has some bigger guns mounted as a portion of its secondary-battery suite. Can't go wrong with any of them, if you're just looking to brawl with them. 🙂 All-ahead Full !!! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricericon Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 As expected, this week was a slog. I'm down to the last million damage or so to dish out, should be done by Wednesday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost done with this current phase (I forget what it is), only need 400k more damage to complete it and have 3 or 4 days to complete it before the next phase. Should be just fine even playing co-op. Operations were a huge help for damage. Played several tech tree ships that I am grinding. That added 200% bonus with boosters gave me 20K XP a match so that was nice.

Couple of suggestions that will get you the shot down ribbons over time in some order. 1. Take out a carrier focus on dropping fighters, bonus if you take out the alternate US line. This is the only steady choice. 2. Take a T5 DD with decent AA, should get some t4 carriers feeding you planes. Also really any DD with good AA, works best if you are undertiered so the planes will come right to you. Last shoot down planes one I was in a Hill and a t4 bot carrier fed me something like 35 planes. 3. Russian cruisers and head straight for the carrier, once you are ahead of other ships the planes often head right to you. Can work with any cruiser with reasonable AA as well but I swear the russians give me the best luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since premiums should match up against the same probably Enterprise with the larger fighter count, Chkalov might also be a good option as well. Co-op matches are bit too short for much else to matter I'd think. Someone else might have a better suggestion since I don't really have the premium options. If you had them the Essex line is what I would use, they get better fighters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion_Raider37 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Operations can be good. Some tasks are halved. I usually have that in mind and try to accumulate double of what I want to have per match. Weirdly, I finished off one of the shoot down planes in Coop. Hermes is best for it - could even get more if your team didn't shoot down the recon planes first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
