AdmiralThunder Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) So the BLG Campaign to earn Tennessee started today. WG said it won't be easy and I believe that if week 1 is what they consider an easy week (the norm for them in long events - hook people in early with easy and back end the hard stuff). While not "difficult" it wasn't exactly what I would call "easy" based on recent events. So I expect this to be a grind for TN. Another thing is this is not like the usual Web Campaigns. This is more like a dockyard. The stages have to be unlocked by completing the previous stage AND then you have to wait a week before you can actually do the next one. I am not a fan of this format. I was expecting to be able to grind the stages out one after another not have to take almost 2 months to do it because WG makes me wait a week to be able to start the next stage. Not going to lie, I am disappointed. I imagine they did this to frustrate people in the hopes they will spend on it but man I wish this was just a normal Campaign and not the standard weekly stage event format. Sucks. 😞 Well, stage 1 is done anyway. I took advantage of SuperShip MM which let me get quite a few all bot games for parts of it that sped it along nicely. Stage 1: 6000 BXP (8 games in Maine) 600 Ribbons (2 games in Harugumo) 15 Kills/Citadels (1 game in Budyonny - 16 cits + 3 kills LOL) 121,000 Spotting (1 game in Eagle + 2 games in Sekiryu) 10 Caps/Asst Caps/D-Caps (1 game in Fujin - 1 solo Cap + 12 D-Caps) Edited October 9 by AdmiralThunder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdmiralThunder Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 LOL! Decided to grab a 10 pack of crates for the blue boosts and hopefully some tokens (I want that Enterprise camo) and well... At just a 2% drop rate I really did not expect the ship. Oh well. 118,000 Coal as compensation when I get it by playing is better than their usual credits. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the armory and click the SHOW button on the Battle of Leyte Gulf banner at the top. Then click SHOW on the Battle of Leyte Gulf Adventure Banner at the top on the page it opens. Then you have to click the orange START ADVENTURE button. That gives you the week 1 set of missions. They will appear under the Combat Mission tab in port (will be in their own Battle of Leyte Gulf section -week 1 is called Submarine Attack)). I believe you will have to go back to the campaign screen in the armory each week to unlock the next stage by clicking on it. You have to be finished the previous week's mission set to start the next one as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Slattery Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Collect 600 ribbons you say? One co-op in my Smolensk should cover it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slattery Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 15 citadels? That's a tall order for one battle but ok. Galicia is the little ship that could, I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slattery Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Spotting started out a nightmare. I was using dds and while I could get ships spotted, I couldn't convince anyone to shoot at them. One game I have 4 ships spotted with ZERO spotting damage. I finally got some traction while playing my Missouri in ops. Cherry Blossom was excellent for this. Game starts, hit the radar, soak in the spotting damage on the enemy dds. I did finally finish the mission and have also gotten 6 of 10 caps. Done with that tomorrow.

Efros Posted Saturday at 09:04 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:04 PM Few trips out with Delny sorted that one out. The spotting damage criterion for missions is really bad and should be kicked to the kerb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to use a fast DD, and stay in front of the pack (even if they were going in the wrong direction,) spot the reds and dropped smoke. Didn't score very well, but spotting damage missions typically mean that you're not doing a lot of damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfswetpaws Posted Saturday at 10:13 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:13 PM I finished the "Submarine Attack" mission-group of the Battle of Leyte Gulf event mission-chain, earlier today.

Efros Posted Saturday at 10:14 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:14 PM @HamptonRoads Yeah I tried a few games with Marceau but the followers I had in those games were either bots or potatoes and so the SD was minimal to non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efros Posted Sunday at 07:13 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:13 AM Did a couple of those too, I suck at CVs and netted less than 3k per game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's time to "LEVEL-UP", eh? 😉 Though, if you're flying a CV in a Co-op battle, the opportunities for spotting damage will be short-lived. Have you tried sailing/flying in random battles, instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next combat mission chain will become available on October 17. It is as if Wargaming is telling us to momentarily: STOP! 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
