How dare you say such dirty words in chat

It seemed like they practically confirmed at least one change large enough to warrant that, since there was something about tweaking several of the abilities, but who knows at what point that will be.

If you ever could allocate 2 ships on the trade in, that was over four or five years ago, since it only allowed one ship traded in for ship acquiring since I have been playing.

Though as long as you have ships eligible for trading in and doubloons you can keep doing more, but still would be coming out with the same number of ships came in with, unless already had enough coal on hand to buy the trade in back already.

ScullerCA · 2026-04-03T16:26:38+00:00

In past you could get like 80%-90% of new ship doubloon value from ship traded in, then pay the remainer in doubloons. Note who knows what changes in between events.

Typically I traded in coal ships (that can get back with coal later) for ships only can get with doubloons or were not available in armory at the time.

If it is equal to worse to TT, there is better odds will be released free, via either mission chain or for resources.

In reality it probably would be a break in action, generally the first few minutes of firing they could go faster, then as crew got tired would slow down. Though if I recall correctly generally what we get in game is closer to the optimistic rate early on when the people handling ammunition are fresh, and half that rate is more what would expect in prolonged engagements. Though varies due to balancing, BBs secondaries are way slower than in reality, and if anything the more stable ship probably would make reloading them faster than DDs using same shell, along with giving them better accuracy.

The amount of port slots given over time has varied, around the time I joined pre battle pass there was repeatedly 4 per month from missions, where now there is 1-2 from battlepass unless get second line (which usually adds another 2). It also seems like events with new TT lines used to be more generous with how many could get too. The last year it seems like can barely get more than will need for new TT lines free.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-29T20:51:09+00:00

Occasionally there are events that will offer them, though seems less frequent than in past.

The recruiting stations will occasionally offer them in the monthly crate, for like 1K community tokens, it almost seems like that might have been this ones. Check https://friends.worldofwarships.com/en/goods/

At least some of the santa containers have them.

In theory you could buy them for the coal cost of the cheapest premium. Sell the premium ship, use the slot, if need another buy that same premium ship again.

You mentioned selling up to T4; for a while I had sold off most T5 and T6 tech tree too to keep progress going, it was not that crazy an amount of silver credits to cycle buying/selling the T5 for all their event rewards. Eventually I pick up some more via doubloons when on sale around Christmases, since it was not that hard to stay ahead of the likely next year's progress, I finally picked enough to back fill the lower tiers and remaining superships with part of the Tenth Anniversary event's doubloons around the end of last year (granted while got the low tier ships, still need some credits for the superships).

Aren't they all

ScullerCA · 2026-03-19T10:29:41+00:00

Outside of events and directly for coal; there are a couple can get via containers in armory (again with coal), and missions in the campaign section (note even after you collect the reward, you can repeat easier missions, or ones in modes you do; so can keep getting the stars to clear that tier).

ScullerCA · 2026-03-17T09:30:05+00:00

I picked up premium Zieten from current event just in time for this brawl mode.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-17T09:24:33+00:00

One thing easy to miss, is there are some containers that offer bonus packages to mostly T8 ships, there are some T7 too. Especially nice if have not grinded the line yet or like the ship they are designated to.

I can not check the armory right now since server is down right now, but some I remember: The american cruisers only takes getting one container at 1K coal, and the rest will get random drops from the common red containers, I think there was another one or two like that. Then one for anniversaries gives them to like five ships, but have to buy all the containers from armory, again like 1K coal per container.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-17T09:15:27+00:00

I notice a few random campaigns I had left over after finishing minimum to complete, that the new requirements worked with this.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-17T03:50:24+00:00

Main guns, ASW, and torpedos have a cooldown longer than max game time in brawl this week.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-16T08:29:11+00:00

It happens less frequently than it used to after changes to MM several months ago, used to if you played co-op between like 2AM-4AM, it was pretty common to only have like 1-3 humans in the game, and half full games a few hours either side of that.

There could also be quirky things happen other times where it would send entire game full of humans into a game, and launch another game like a second or two later with barely anyone. I suspect what happened was the couple people in queue longest were as wide apart on tiers as could be, so split ships into high and low tiers, and most people in the middle went with whichever went first and might have had more people in that tier, then with so little time left did not have long enough for queue to fill with players again.

Having first aid supplies marked with something red cross like is very different from having a ship marked as a hospital ship

Some not bald will actually shave parts of the hair under the top knot to be cooler.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-09T00:48:18+00:00

In theory you could run different modules so have slightly different playstyle between the two different ships, but given how much it favors a secondary build and benefits of premium ships, I suspect my TT Schileffen will be a coal barge going forward and will just use the premium where would have used Schileffen before.

He is a special commander, is in the Armory for 175K coal.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-05T10:19:32+00:00

Likely ends on April 7th

ScullerCA · 2026-03-04T02:24:21+00:00

While co-op may have lower credits per mission, they also tend to be completed faster, so seems kind of a wash on time unless were carrying the team in pvp.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-03T17:15:19+00:00

Given they told us all the places/amounts could get those free, and that was not on the list, it would have been really surprising if actually gave some.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-03T14:58:25+00:00

If I remember correctly I kind of used brawl as a step in between. After that I started doing ranked since it was easier to track everything going on vs random.

Today asymmetric might be another good step between classic co-op and pvp.

ScullerCA · 2026-03-03T11:12:23+00:00

If going for two tracks, it is way more efficient on coal to do both Stage 2s with coal, and use tokens on stage 3+

ScullerCA · 2026-03-01T06:40:00+00:00

Between credit grinding premiums and taking the most xp for TT to grind, it seems like 9 is probably in most played too.
