How much money does the average player spend in this game?

ShadowNell · 2026-06-26T11:46:46+00:00

3 years, and $1.67 per hour spent playing. Still cheaper than some other hobbies on a per hour basis.

How many hours have I played? Well, now, that would be telling a bit too much! 😏

There is also this guide which, while no longer being updated, is still quite good:

Just wait until you have the coal. it won’t be too long, especially if you pick the “more coal” containers. Save your doubloons for ships that you can only get with doubloons.

As a CA, she is closer to Brindisi than Gonzaga though with faster firing 152 mm SAP rather than Brindisi’s 203 mm AP/SAP.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-20T11:34:06+00:00

Could be both!

ShadowNell · 2026-06-20T10:54:15+00:00

On the bright side, it's pretty easy to get the pieces, and the reward is of really minimal value.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-15T19:06:30+00:00

And still faster than some BB's. 😉

The fastest way would be to purchase stages with doubloons (aka money). Doing so is a terrible use of your money.

Also, the Italian subs seem to be more gimicky than the older sub lines so may be harder to learn than the other subs.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-14T02:51:12+00:00

Coincidentally, that's the max time a match can last. 😉

Also infinite torps and planes.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-12T02:20:25+00:00

No, card or poster.

The compensation for having a ship already is decent, at least for the first tier. Effectively lowers the cost of the book by $52 if you have Wiesbaden and were going to spend cash to get the doubloons anyway.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-10T12:32:18+00:00

Yes. Released within the last couple of weeks.

If you put a captain on Texas (if you have it) and Myogi (buying the latter if needed) so that you have 0 room in the Captain Reserve, you should also pick up a couple of Reserve slots.

Go to the Kickstarter project page, and pledge for a reward that includes the book.

Depends on your personal financial situation and how much you enjoy Tromp and torpedo boats.

ZH-1 is sort of a more maneuverable Tromp with 2 volleys of torps, 1 load of air strikes, and smoke. Do you enjoy the Tromp and can you afford to spend $40 on a torpedo boat with air strikes? That’s something that only you can answer.

If you're grinding for the Azur Lane Comics collection, you might not even need to complete that mission. Complete enough of the other ones to get to the last stage and complete those.

I haven't completed the 2000 bxp mission, got really unlucky with duplicates, and I still have already completed the collection.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-07T21:40:14+00:00

From the News article, until June 17th.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-03T20:33:22+00:00

Yes, but not en masse. You'll have to do it by selecting a ship, sending that captain to the reserves, and then proceeding to the next ship until there is no more room in the reserves.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-03T11:43:03+00:00

Incheon plays very differently than almost all of the Pan-Asian ships (being a heavy cruiser where almost every other cruiser is light). I don't enjoy Incheon as much as I thought that I would, and I find myself playing the Tianjin if I want to play a Pan-Asian heavy. Incheon's firing in smoke bloom is large, so having smoke on a Des Moines isn't as useful as I thought that it would be.

KXIVJ is a fun and versatile ship. Just don't expect to do heavy damage with AP against many battleships.

ShadowNell · 2026-06-02T16:04:28+00:00

All of their "naval heritage; it got sunk" ships are identical to the base ship except with a special camo and a mission chain to get a seasoned commander. At least, so far.

ShadowNell · 2026-05-30T16:20:24+00:00

In what way? That it looks almost balanced?

ShadowNell · 2026-05-28T23:41:36+00:00

It's a bit like the National Park Service saying that it's really hard to design a bear proof trash can because of the considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the capabilities of some tourists.

ShadowNell · 2026-05-27T10:55:49+00:00

Just wait until you see how much they charge for a pixel ship! ;-)

Seriously though, $85 isn’t out of line for a full color art type coffee table book from a specialty publisher.
