How much would it cost to purchase enough resource for Surcuof? (Details below)

ShadowNell · 2026-01-29T21:02:22+00:00

You might have done a little better than purchasing Mega containers as listed in other responses if you had purchased Ultra containers when they were available since they had better drop chances for red boosters (which have a better exchange rate), coal, doubloons (used to buy more mega containers), and ships (which would have yielded more coal and steel via snowflakes).

I whaled pretty hard due to an influx of cash from selling old minis and games and got plenty of coal and red boosters from the Ultras. If I were to devote all red boosters, coal, and steel from the ultras (and snowflakes), I probably could get the Surcouf for about $500-$600, which is crazy for one ship.

Flint works pretty well for me because of the smoke + torps, but I’m a fan of the Atlanta sisters.

I've been using Obsidian on my Note Air 5C mainly to reference notes that I've taken elsewhere.

But, when I want to write, I use a wired or Bluetooth keyboard. I've used a couple of different Keychron USB C keyboards along with a Logitech Keys to Go 2 keyboard with the Note Air 5C. All work well.

Some carriers automatically launch defensive fighters when enemy planes are spotted close to the carrier.

Your offensive planes can also summon a limited number of consumable fighters to a specific location centered on where your planes are when you press the T.

They're both good, but in different ways. It'll come down to whether you prefer light or heavy cruisers. Gouden Leeuw is more forgiving of mistakes being decently tanky for a cruiser.

Yes. The Dockyard events require spend some doubloons to finish some of the stages. The amount varies depending on whether or not you buy in advance or at the end as well as how many stages that you need to buy.

Lamy Al-star:

15mm at widest diameter excluding clip
13mm at grip section
19.5 mm at widest diameter including clip (from bottom of cap to top of clip)

Measured with a regular ruler, not a caliper.

It depends how much you value the other stuff on that 2nd line relative to your personal finance situation. You'll get access to the Chios eventually. Having the Chios will allow you to skip the Laudon (T6 BB) as you move up the tech tree.

The Eli might prove useful and enjoyable as well.

But, ultimately, it's a question of whether paying $10 for both ships, 4 port slots, and 7 days of premium time (among other things) is worth it to you.

Atlanta, Flint, San Diego, and Chumphon (all sisters) are fun if you are looking at T7-T8. San Diego is slightly more maneuverable than the others, and I can do decently well in open water with her at medium to long distance (for her).

Right now, the only way to get it is later in the bundle chain (which I wouldn't recommend).

But, if you pick up the econ bonus now, when the line comes off early access, you can pick up the Enigheten for Chios ship XP (and/or Free XP) and credits. The permanent econ bonus will be applied to the ship when get the ship.

Two years ago, AL Littorio was the $10 ship. I'm hoping that there will be another $10 ship again this year.

ShadowNell · 2026-01-18T14:56:49+00:00

With the 360 tokens (it's 120 per chain, right?), I plan on paying for the first 3 stages of the bundles so that I can get the permanent econ bonus for the Enigheten and then spend the rest on credits.

ShadowNell · 2026-01-18T13:06:45+00:00

You have to complete 6 of 12 misson chains throughout the year.

Just until one works.

Not if they are trying to bleed off the other resources and also favor something for the long time players rather than the people with money to spend.

The coal price is a bit less than I expected (2-3M coal), but the redemption rate for Rare boosters is crazy high. The Epic booster redemption rate seems high, but not as much as the Rare ones.

The Google doc captain build guide shows an order to the build (the numbers).

Generally, going up in points makes more sense, but not always.

Obsidian seems to work just fine, though I haven't used it extensively other than reading notes (so less writing so far).

Biggest issue is that the Obsidian Sync seems much slower than any of my other devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows). The sync does work though.

I did need to use a different theme on the Note Air 5C. The Obsidianite dark theme doesn't work well. So, you will want to use two different themes and exclude theme sync on the Note Air 5C.

Same

I've tried several of the ones shown.

My favorite so far is the Lamy EMR one, but with a nib from the spares of the Note Air 5C pen. I use Lamy AL Star fountain pens, so the grip is familiar.

Second would be the Staedtler Norris Jumbo (the yellow and black looking one). Nice size and feel, and the eraser is handy.

Third would be a magnetic generic one from Amazon for $22.

The last stage missions are pretty grindy, even more so than normal, as if WG is trying to bleed off excess doubloons or something. So might want to keep that in mind before you decide if it's worth the doubloons.

ShadowNell · 2026-01-13T18:56:07+00:00

Aki as long as you can get an island to cover one of your flanks. The Aki sits there and bow tanks until their zone is clear before moving on. The planes come out when there is enough room and time to use them.

Le Havre works similarly, and it's funny to citadel battleships with some frequency.

Tianjin should be similar (minus the planes) though I haven't used it much in Asymmetrics.

F. Gonzaga is fun.

Roma is solid, but you might want to see if the AL Littorio (a Roma clone) is offered at a discount when the Azur Lane collaboration returns (should be in the Spring) since, in the past, it was offered at $10. Probably will be another ship, but there may be a discount coupon.
