One little thing you can do to boost if you are using low tier Bluewater ships and have completed (or almost) the Coastal tree, is to include a Tier V coastal boat, and use that at some time during the game. Or even T IV if you have only gotten that far.
I often use mine first to cap early, or last (or at least towards the end!) to cap later. I’ll even sometimes blow up a perfectly good blue-water ship to bring it - especially to bring it 2nd, then blow it up and bring a backup for that blue-water ship.
That last scenario is common when it’s a really good game, to maximize the score for the event. Not worth the cost for a bad game tho’.
In contrast some of the best shooting ships were the Invincible , the Inflexible , the Barham , the Valiant and Jellicoe’s flagship, the Iron Duke .
What she was famous for at Jutland was getting her steering damaged and doing 2 complete circles to get it fixed, taking her toward the German fleet and becoming the center of attention and suffering about 15 gunshot hits!
Yeah I was testing her on the protection viewer and the Russian ap and scharnhorst ap can detonate her at practicly any angle. God I hope the naval protection viewer is broken
Ech…It’s a nice boat but this grind is too brutal. Only three stages in and already it feels like a floor job at the amazon fulfillment plant. The F-14 grind was brutal but queued at a brisk pace. However this is just a slog. Naval events should be absolute 35K max to account for the glacial queue times.
I find battleships are not the most efficient vessels to use. Personally light and heavy cruisers around 5.7 or 6.0 seem the sweet spot and I knock the star over pretty quickly. Alternatively if your a player of coastal my mate smashes the stars out even faster in those then I do in cruisers.
i dont get it either, naval stars are by far the easiest. with the right vehicles its a 17k (ish) ‘‘grind’’
throw your choosing of 4.7 DDs in a lineup (add tier a tier III+ plane/speedboat if necessary) and make it rain
If you don’t turn on ‘join active battles’ i think the wait times can be pretty rough but it doesn’t take me that much. I wasn’t planning on grinding this event but changed my mind because I want the profile icon more than the ship, and I realised i had done all the challenges but one without even actively having to grind.
Is there any news on when we will get the more effective HMS Barham with it’s 1930’s refit with the torpedo protection addition (loss of some torps). I am specifically referencing the Anti-Torp Bulge Armour plating?
