And like you, I'm getting a lot of enjoyment from taking out ships I usually wouldn't choose but which fit certain requirements better than the ships I generally reach for. Indianapolis, for all her faults, is an American heavy cruiser similar enough in armament and gun layout to New Orleans and Baltimore to act as a captain trainer going into them and coming out of them.Ĭossack, for all her faults, will be a T8 destroyer I can drop my 19 point captain in for permanent campaign missions that want a T8+ destroyer (I think there are a few of those) without having to retrain him from another ship, and to act as a higher-tier captain retrainer, or captain developer for the upper-tier gunboats.

But going “gah! I just wasted 2-3 months of play, mostly in ships i like to play, to get the meh-/gud-/fun-bote Cossack and wish I never did it” boggles my mind. Acting salty for attention? Sure, human nature and all that.

Dunkerque! I forgot how much of a blast I had in that ship.Ģ-3 months of that to get something like the Cossack rather than an Indianapolis? Even, lets say, having to spend $6(!) for 15 guineas for one reason or another, which is almost 4 weeks’ worth of directives, I don’t get how people could be actually disappointed. Hell, for the citadels and potential damage directives, i dusted off my Dunkerque. Indianapolis is widely considered a pretty poopy boat, but it was still worth grinding for because it’s free.ĭirected gameplay is a good thing, especially if it gives you choices on what you want to use to complete it.

The big problem is, WG is dragging this event out so long that the Cossack could travel at the speed of light while firing nuclear warheads and it would still be seen as a disappointment by the time people get it.įarming ships is good regardless of disappointment. The sovereigns run out, you can still get guineas, so yes, you can get 48 from the event, and buy two of them.
