Get IJN Shisaka in the Naples of the East Event!

Naval vessels are pretty much weak @ marketplace. Most of them don’t even get good prices after years of holding them. This game mode lacks players. So, 15 GJN is likely too optmistic. Its also one of these frigates which can’t do anything vs. destroyers and no one will ever buy it.

Decals are finally here

Ships actually make about as much or a little bit more on market per unit sale (26 GJN vs 23 average on the top sales day) as other vehicles. The issue is very few are ever made for market, around a tenth of the least popular non-naval vehicles that are ground out to sell. In a year this will be worth 25 GJN, same as Alcione from last year is now. But it’ll start around 10-12, same as Alcione did.

Is it me or nowdays it is easier to get it done in small boats rather than high tier big ships where getting bigger score is now pretty much luck based?

I thought decals would be ‘nipple of the east’ and ‘nipple of the west’.
Dissapointing… :/

I personally always did on boats simply due to more points per minute, and in case if I get badly matchmaked - I can quickly die to enemy and go into next battle, unlike in top-tier battleships. Also same rank multiplier on stuff like SKR-7 and 12412.

yes, boats have mostly higher ranks (factor!) as bluewater ships in the same BR - as mentioned coastal gameplay is much faster and more efficient to grind the event

Well
Boats are deffinetly MUCH funnier to play

Also easier in RB. That 15% score bonus really helps with events.

Well, that’s not 100% true
This graph accounts point per battle, but not the points per minute
AB with it’s fast battles may be actually better due to higher points-per-minute

AB got its reputation for fast battles because often its battles had lower number of players, for fast queueing it would launch when it had 8v8. At the time this led to its average battle length being shorter and battles per hour being greater.

Since January AB has had the same forced 16v16 with bots rule as RB. While there appears to be a lingering average battle length effect due to the game just being “faster”, it’s greatly reduced from what it was before.

Average NAB games per hour: 3.8-4.1.
Average NRB games per hour: 3.5-3.8, the most recent time I tried to measure from replay server times (note: edited to include the low end and high end of both estimates. It’s a big error bar).

Works out to an average multiplied score/hour (using the low end of RB and the high end of AB for the maximum possible AB advantage) of 8790 for NAB and 9264 for NRB. RB still has a net 5% advantage even then. The variation between BRs (with higher BR matches having a higher number of Encounter games, which tend to last longer, for instance) is likely bigger now than the variation between the two modes (or the differences in player skill for that matter).

Sure. Like you even playing NAB.

is he wrong though? arcade games were always shorter

it’s very dependent of BR and map, there is maps and BRs where NRB played way shorter than NAB. Especially with new distances and shells dispersions

Any one of you grinding the 600k coupon, how’s it been?

Actually kinda…fine i guess?
At some point i just turned off my brain and just started using soviet 4.3. Takes about an hour for daily 40k

I quit after realizing that getting all the stars only get me to around 260K points, not even half for the coupon upgrade.
