I've managed 1 win, 1 star after maybe 6 goes. The extra BB that comes in the middle part makes a huge difference. They really seem to Target the transports as well. And with the King CV sailing up the side of the map my guess is you really need a CV to do well. The objectives are split now properly in different areas, and if the team splits too soon, well an early return to port is the usual outcome. Be interested to see if anyone else has tried it.

94 [911] Moldavia Member 367 posts 10,364 battles Report post #3 Posted July 7, 2018 I've had 6 or 7 goes at it for 1 2-star and 1 4-star win. It does seem a lot more difficult than the old one but, once the differences become familiar it may become a bit easier. The 4-star win only netted me 1600 (may have been 1800) base exp even though I came top with 9 kills and 225k dmg - so its days as a huge revenue earner may be over.

Problem is though most pts players just point at the closest ship and shoot. They have no idea of what they should actually be doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is though most pts players just point at the closest ship and shoot. They have no idea of what they should actually be doing. To be fair though, it does take a few tries to get familiar with a new scenario and learn the best tactics to approach it. When it goes live, people who haven't done it before will benefit from the experience of those who've already tried it on the PTS. PS If you don't play on the PTS, how do you get a supply of special flags? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,801 icy_phoenix Super Tester_ 7,897 posts 8,986 battles Report post #6 Posted July 7, 2018 I looked into a video someone already posted on YouTube. Based on the enemy spawn, it does not look much hard at all. Nothing 5 of your clan mates couldnt handle, especially with 2 Altantas in the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
774 [O7] keskparane Member 2,675 posts 17,680 battles Report post #7 Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Just had a 4 star game. Hardest part seems to be getting the Lexington. Basically I think everyone bar 1 cruiser needs to go through left entrance and hit Lexington hard and fast. The 1 other cruiser is to dispatch escaping convoy on the right.

This the one you watched?: Like keskparane says,if you can get the team to handle the different tasks it looks like it should be ok. Frontier is probably even harder ( without having actually played the new Narai yet ) for needing specific tasks done over a bigger distance,and most of the time the teams can get them done.
