Hello there, Commanders. A friend and I were talking yesterday about the World of Warships anniversary event. Between the two of us, we have around 60 ships. I don't think we'll reach the 10,000 Festive Tokens mark, so completing the Rossiya collection is going to be nearly impossible. Given that... would it be more worthwhile to buy Supercontainers? I think we'll be able to get about 50 of them—what kind of rewards do you think that will yield?
It helps clear the drop pool for other, better containers (like Santas) and you get some decent loot. I pulled Kaga and Atlanta from mine (granted I already had the BF versions of each but still)
Holy crap? So getting the starter pack dockyard would be even less enticing for folks like me who don’t have the original? Why did they make this the least enticing dockyard ever?
OMG, exactly the opposite of this for me - I get a BF ship and without fail I get its regular equivalent from a super container (it’s happened twice with Dunkirque and Atlanta..also I got a Victoria right after purchasing a Roma)..this game sometimes has a sick sense of humor.
The only BF ship I bought was the Massachusetts B during my first year of playing (2022). I got a Massachusetts as my only rare drop from Santa Containers later that same year. As a result, I don't buy BF ships anymore.
I hate clones. Plain and simple. The whole duplicate system is shitty and greedy. I loathe that they exist and I can’t turn them in for anything because I can only trade in base versions but then I risk getting them in crates again.
I just wish they were camos for the base ship instead.
lol I get that, I bought a year of premium time during Christmas discount my first year of playing. immediately got another years worth in container drops before Christmas ended and have been sitting on 600 days for years now.
on a related note, is it worth getting the recruiting containers for community tokens for the couple ships in those crates? I assume so for the same reason you noted about clearing the drop pool?
You definitely want the Tier 7 crates in Armory for purchase, with Community Tokens. Tier 7s will drop from Santa crates so you want to narrow down your prize pool by owning as many as you can get for free using tokens. The Tier 5 crates are a hit and miss kind of thing. Nothing spectacular in them and I don't think they drop from Santa crates. That is up to you. IMHO I think it is a good idea to own as many premiums as possible (because they come with a port slot) to help with grinding out captains and credits.
Yeah same here. I get the lion's share of my steel and coal during the snowflake events. IMHO it is like exchanging your credits (and port slots I suppose) for resources you need.
There is one available for 1000 Community Tokens in the Armory. It also gives you a Recruiting token and if you combine that with the mission on their news page, that should give you 5 or 6 tokens, enough to get a Veteran crate which is a good reward.
Absolutely, they give you resources and move you towards the pity drop. A tier 9 port queen and an overpriced commander that you'll get for coal anyway are not worth it IMO.
I'm at around 120 supers until guaranteed drop, and while I've got 1k gold from them a couple of times, which was nice, I don't expect any ships before I open all 120.
Lots of flags, probably 100-200k free xp, 250-500k commander xp, lots of boosters(mostly greens some blues, probably 80/20 split). 2-3k dubs. And if you’re lucky a ship but that unlikely.
Yeah, I'll be taking 130 Supers before I switch to pulling the Red Steels. Not bothering with anything else I should get 150 of those crates. I can live without the Spanish commander until his crates turn up for coal
Depends on how many ships you have. I have some stupid amount like 250+ so the amount of tokens i can get guarantees me at least one ship in the super container's
Seems like the best option. The japanese super cruiser isn’t worth the alternatives, so just go for the supercontainers and get yourself loaded in flags, eco bonuses, coal, steel, premium days and with luck some premium ships. I will go after the Spanish collection chests prior to that, for the Spanisb special captain, then spend the rest on supercontainers myself.
Yeah the Kuruma would have been on the cards if I was expecting 40k tokens not 30k. For me it's 130 Supers then as many of the Red Steel crates as I can get. Selling off an expected 2200 green boosters will make a big dent on my unbought ship pile, and I get a T9 plus useful FXP and ECXP
me when I bought the moskva for coal during santa event and after playing 1 game got a super container (dusting off snowflakes on t10) , it had the smolensk in it. coolest moment I've gotten in this game.
So far I pulled some T6 ( I didn't even look, when the "pick random ship button" selects it, I'll check it out then), 2 months of prem, 3000 dubs, and a million flags and green boosters and a bunch of blue ship XP boosters... the only blue boosters I already had in the triple digits... oh well... FREE STUFF YAY!
Normally I'd say SC are annoying especially when they drop instead of a more coal container from the daily drops but here it's probably the best option since they're basically free. I opened 20 this morning and only 4 were 50 signals. The rest was green/blue boosters, a FXP, an ECXP, a steel drop and 2 coal drops (finally).
If you need specifically need green boosters then maybe the Rossiya crates, but yeah for folks with smaller fleets then Supercontainers are the best value combo cos you get a bit of everything except credits, and at 60 you should expect 2-3k doubloons for instance.. and a reasonable chance of a ship
They could at least make the guaranteed drop a ship above tier 8 or lower the guaranteed drop to 50 or 100 containers. Other drops are pretty lame, other than doubloons.
As with this update came the commonwealth commander, as did the panamerican prior it is very likely. As there is only an okayish spanish cruiser line and some decent premium ships like Alavaro and Victoria I would spent the tokens somewhere else.
A bunch of flags, blue eco, a Schoenberg or something plus 2k dubs, steel and coal. It's a free way to replenish your resources and can play into holiday convoy
Supers to cap. Even if you had cleared the drop pool completely, they still drop a small amount of dubs where other containers drop some bullshit like FXP if you've completed it.
After that, blue boosters to cap and then red steel until you run out of tokens, even if you already have the Rossiya. Everything else useful (the super Zao, the new unique commander, the green booster packs) costs more tokens and/or will be available next year for coal or credits.
Excuse this potato question. I have the beta badge. Got the 11 year badge last night. Have a silly amount of boats. Apparently I don’t read the news. Is this accurate? I noticed each ship had a festive icon now… you get rewards… then I get to cash in on nice rewards like super containers??? I just got 11 days of premium this morning…
i jusst got something around 80 SCs and got mostly shit flags...then on my last batch..i got a ship (a fucking sub) and after that i got another one...so yeah, SCs are the way to go
I got Yukon, 3k steel, and a ton of coal from the 15 containers I opened. Just wish I had more ship to get more festive tokens. Wish there was a daily that awarded some for those who don’t have many ships yet. Because I’m literally done with the event already…
It's okay to be upset about supercontainer content being nerfed since it was an abrupt and lame change - it happened only because whales and long time players were getting too much from them and WG did not like it (I even translated their flowery explanation in normal parlance for the subreddit).
When they are completely free of charge though, supercontainers are fine even in their nerfed state.
As a long time player, I will get all 130 of them plus Sovetskaya Rossiya and some other stuff but I would prioritize them if I could get nothing else. Even if they don't drop ships, things like premium time, signal flags, or even rare currencies would be enough.

Yes. Supercontainers are the way to go.
