So i have been slowly getting all of the british vehicals in game and the time finaly came to coastal and i though with the sales coming soon i might consider a premium but they cost 6k atm when most other nations have 1 or 2 options at the 3k mark for the same rank of premium i feel that this is a bit ridiculous for what you can unlock for the price. especialy when you can get a boat for a 6th the price one rank down
Probably because they are really good.
Le Orla particularly is death to anything = or less BR that spawns at the boat spawns - you can often get 6+ boat kills with it in the first couple of minutes of contact.
Whitby isn’t quite so dominant, but it’s 4 x 4.5" are notably better than anything else at 4.0 - however it gets ship spawn so will often be facing US 5.0 DD’s, and they are a class above of course.
i feel they should cost slightly less around the 4k mark as there is not a massive amount of coastal to unlock
They are top tier premiums, doesnt matter that its only BR 4.0 and they can see higher in bluewater. To Gaijin, they are top tier premiums and so cost that amount, yeah, i’ve always looked at them and gone, “I wish they were only 3-4k if that, Id buy one”
well i am considering one of the during the sales as i have 2 million RP’s worth of coastal to unlock so i am not sure which one i am tempted to pick the Le Orla as the Whitby has better tech tree versions
I may do the same and I have the same debate on my hands. With Coastal getting more modern and thus more likely to add ships im interested in, I really want to complete coastal and a premium would be a major boost.
Ive kinda been waiting for a new coastal premium at some point. Maybe something more like 3.0
i would consider the one that is discounted for the event but most of the rp is in the rank it cant research efficiently
Ah damn, that is annoying. I wish they removed RP effeciency, it drives me nuts
(im gunna get it though because i have all of Rank IV to get through still :D )
well there is 1.3 million rp in rank 5 and 600k in ranks 3 and 4 so the extra ge is worth it but it is still a lot
Yeah it is. Looking between the 2.
The 3.7 BR vs 4.0 BR would be tempting to me. but the I think better mobility and high ROF gun might be better. Though I’ve heard it burns through ammo really fast
Yeah, if I do get one in the sale. That is going to be a really really hard debate myself, but coastal is the one line of Britain im not at top tier, so its defiently tempting
it would also cost 4.8 million SL to buy and crew all rank 5 kinda crazy for 4.0-3.3 ships
Yeah, Coastal should be treated as it is, as the BR 1.0-4.0 of naval and coastal shouldnt be treated as an entirely seperate thing like ground and air are.
The Whitby will only face 5.0 spawns if you uptier it… the knox will be the worst it will see
One gets coastal spawn, other gets oceanic spawn. One is a ptrol boat, other is a sub hunter / Frigate. Different roles
I think you are thinking of HMS Leopard.
Wihitby only has 2x 4.5" guns. Though that is still enough to actually fight a destroyer though, but yeah…
THis is something really really annoying and something to heavily consider actually
the le orla it is then
Yeah… Probably.
But did just take them both into the test drive, definetly need to watch your ammo usage, I burnt through it instantly.
you also have the problem on whitby that you have limeted fireing archs over the direct front
