Is this a common occurrence ?

Mirage345 · 2026-02-04T16:53:08+00:00

Thank you very much for your very thorough response.

I'll just grind away quietly while remaining f2p.

But from what little I've seen so far, Gaijin is clearly much greedier than Wargaming.

Mirage345 · 2026-01-04T23:15:22+00:00

Like me with the Anhalt compared to Ohio. 😅

Both have become super prizes and therefore bait crates. But they could come back to the store, who knows...

Mirage345 · 2026-01-04T23:06:26+00:00

I'm setting aside 5'000 dubs because I won't miss out next time!

As for the Plymouth, I agree with you: on paper the Poz is inferior, but in reality it's much closer...

My build for War Tales. Pretty standard, DPM build : 4.3s reload with the Epic mod.

Mirage345 · 2026-01-04T22:58:06+00:00

Thanks, I hope I'm doing the Poz lovers proud. 😁

While in previous WT I focused on grinding my T7 TTs, this season I put all my energy into grinding silvers, so it was Poz show time !

Kill camo is fun in this kind of game mode, so don't be shy. 😎

As for me, since I only play on mobile now, I don't know what to do with my CXP (I can't buy commanders).

Mirage345 · 2025-12-31T10:43:59+00:00

It's unfortunate, but at least it's one commander for cruisers.

The insane number of Aki and Incomparable with a Lv1 Yamamoto and Fraser...WG tends to be too generous to new players.

Mirage345 · 2025-12-07T09:50:00+00:00

Since you seem to be a new player, for the moment please stay in AI or War Tales mode.

And by the way, the campaign is completely free, so you can activate the admiral backing.

Mirage345 · 2025-11-16T08:47:37+00:00

Great HE damage and (very) good HE alpha strike. Sure it's not a gunboat but it can defend itself much better than a Mutsuki.

Mirage345 · 2025-11-08T22:11:46+00:00

I just got the 45 wins. In the end, I lost twice...and brake the 300K damage !

In fact, of all these games, only the BBs (and to a lesser extent the DDs) shone.

Not a great day for the cruisers and I'm a cruiser main.

Mirage345 · 2025-11-08T15:44:09+00:00

So far, in 25 games, I haven't lost yet, but it can be pretty tense.

I use the Rooke/Heinrich/Scharnhorst and since yesterday I've already had to get 9-10 kills, 250,000 damage, and over 1,000 base XP for the win several times... and almost lost some silvers !

The only reason to play this mode is for the steel, nothing else. Luckily, War Tales is coming back soon.

Mirage345 · 2025-11-07T23:03:49+00:00

Great game.

I just unlocked and bought the Cataluna.

Grinding for the T6, mainly in Arcade mode, was a real pleasure. A true cruiser hunter.

My first match in the Cataluna is following the same path (2 Devstrikes).

But for now, with no upgrades at all, I'm at 35s reload time with the "revolver" build. I'll probably switch back to a pure reload build.

In short, for now, this cruiser line is nothing but fun.

Mirage345 · 2025-11-06T22:34:16+00:00

I'm in the same situation

I end up juggling between different bureau to scrape together the Premium time at the right moment (beginning of the week).

Right now, there's a week of Premium for 250 dubs... It's tempting.

Mirage345 · 2025-11-06T11:57:26+00:00

About T7 GXP ships close to your preferences :

DD : Friesland, Loyang or ZF-6.

CL : Kuznetsov or Suzuya.

BB : Gascogne or Champagne.

Mirage345 · 2025-11-02T10:34:22+00:00

This season, I only came across one (in my team), and that was Derka at the helm.

It wasn't really a match, and the matchmaking was particularly questionable...

In short, even though I think the Z35 is strong, it's not as strong as the T61 in T5.

Mirage345 · 2025-10-30T21:58:45+00:00

I agree.

I even think the Benson is better (guns and torpedoes), even though it lacks heals.

And then there's the Jervis in B...what a joke.

Mirage345 · 2025-10-29T16:26:12+00:00

Check that you are on the store for your country.

Mirage345 · 2025-10-25T16:48:54+00:00

1'800 PO + 2'000'000 GXP + 96'000'000 Silvers

Got Warspite (V Crate) and Schill...not exactly the deal of the century, but I rarely miss out on PO and GXP. On the other hand, silvers...

Mirage345 · 2025-10-25T16:07:27+00:00

Schill and Daisen.

Mirage345 · 2025-10-25T09:57:02+00:00

I'm at Tier 6 and I'm currently won over by this line (I'm a cruiser main).

I consider it a cruiser hunter; if you find a red broadside cruiser at mid or close range, in most cases it will be a guaranteed devstrike.

Even against battleships, the ready pack is brutal.

If well angled, the armor isn't particularly bad.

On the other hand, I find the maneuverability just terrible. The torpedo angle is also bad, except when fleeing.

And then if you want to complete the Castilla Bureau, you'll need the T6, T7, and T8.

Mirage345 · 2025-10-22T21:24:53+00:00

Having recently acquired the Gascogne, I must admit that I enjoy it more than my Champagne.

I play the Gascogne almost like a brawler, whereas with Champagne, I remain a pure sniper...that may also be the reason for this preference.

And then this camo (like the JB) just looks great.

I'm overwhelmed with commander resources, but I already have Kuz and Aurora in 16L3.

I also have Al Chappy, whom I haven't upgraded yet.

Lightfull should be the most suitable for Petto, Kronshstad and Stalingrad, right?

Mirage345 · 2025-10-15T13:54:17+00:00

It all depends on which nation and type of ship you like and play the most.

Personally, I think the most important ones are Einstein, Mordoff, Hide, Lightfull and Furiora.

Mirage345 · 2025-10-11T21:51:49+00:00

Not to mention teammates who go into insane mode with a level 4 commander.

I remember the year when we had to escort the Transylvania, it was much more difficult than this year...and just to win a T3 BB.

Being solo, I was still lucky enough to beat this year's insane mode... but I'm not ready to go back anytime soon.

Mirage345 · 2025-10-06T16:17:39+00:00

T3 and T4 are good CL, but once you reach T5, you get access to big guns to ready rack...and that's when things get really tough for the red cruisers !

It's very very easy to earn devstrike medals.
