Hello so with the release of the popular battleships of ww2 like Iowa, Yamato, Bismarck etc should I just grind the whole Japanese naval tree (capital ships only) with just premium or should I get the rank V premium battleship to grind out the tree alongside premium?
I’m just asking for some advice since I’m thinking about finally playing Naval RB now since I saw the Yamato gameplay footage from the dev server videos and it is just amazing.
Premium ship doubles your SL earnings, and increases RP by 50% over just using TT with premium time. Ship repair costs are extremely high and it negates this as well being premium.
You are gonna spend probably over 100 hours grinding the tree, so youd be throwing away a metric crapton of SL by using a TT vehicle, when people say SL is good in naval its specifically with premium boats.
I dont like naval really, but you can give it a shot and see if you do, if you buy a premium boat with a 1800% SL nodifier it will always be a good use of SL boosters, or well the best use of them, so at least that purchase will always be useful.
I don’t think that is true - Premium means you don’t LOSE money on battles for the cost of ammo and crew, but you still have to pay to repair ships:
Generally naval is a money maker
He is talking for premium ship not premium account. Premium ships are all but impossible to lose any money in, even if you are detonated on the first salvo against you.
Repair costs themselves are much lower, looking at the premium nassau in germany it has an 11k repair costs in rb vs the sister ship at 34k. That saves you 23k sl per death, which in the course of grinding a TT will likely add up to millions.
I’m also asking if getting a rank V premium ship and 365 days of premium altogether would be worth it in starting to play Naval RB for the first time as well as possibly getting a shit ton of lions and rushing down towards Yamato.
Questionable, especially since they added the magically broken russian BB which is absolutely trashing top tier naval right now
As has been noted - you DO pay repair costs for Premium ships - they are just much cheaper than equivalent TT ones
Yeah, naval is all right. I’d recommend playing until you get at least a heavy cruiser or early battleship, then give EC a go. Personally I’d say play RB over AB but that’s also a matter of choice. Also, YOU MUST GO INTO THE OPTIONS MENU AND TURN ON REALISTIC AIMING OR ELSE YOUR GUNS WILL CONSTANTLY FLAIL BACK & FORTH IN RANGE. As for which tree is best ATM, America has very good destroyers and cruisers before going to slightly sub average battleships. Japan has possibly the best torpedoes in game ATM, and Russia has a few funny vehicles. UK is a solid alrounder with even a few torpedo boats in can bring into EC which is very funny. Italy has a navy that exists, and German BB’s are certainly iconic.
If looking into the future, and a future with submarines, Germany and Japan will have very good submarines, Russia will not unless gaijin goes to the cold war where it will have perfectly competent submarines. US and UK will also have pretty competent and even good submarines, however what will really set the UK and US above other nations is how leagues ahead of literally everything else their anti submarine weapons will be. Even without ASROC, the US still gets hedgehog and a long range version called mousetrap, and the UK, whilst also getting hedgehog, gets something even scarier called squid, and limbo. These are very effective weapons.
Nonsense
it for Russian main finaly avaliable playing good ships instead of getting ammorack in 1 shot back in low to mid tier.
If you were my friend, I would tell you to stay away from this pattern. naval is a very obvious p2w model, but pay cannot bring you true happiness. I don’t think it’s a good idea to pay myself to go to prison.
Ya that is weird how exactly does it work then? My understanding was premium time gave you a 100% bonus RP modifier on your base, and the premium ship/talisman another 100%, which if additive and not multiplicative would be a 50% increase. IE 1000 base RP, 2000 with premium, 3000 with premium and premium ship.
But ya in that SS it looks like you get 1000 base, 2000 from premium time (which is a 200% increase not 100%), and then the expected 1000 from your premium vehicle bonus. Not sure whats going on there.
Premium doubles the talisman gain.
Didn’t know that, thought it was all additive. That makes premium vehicles even more important than I previously thought with it only being a 50% increase but actually 100% since premium time interacts with the talisman as well.
Yes, description in the game kind of lying.
