Steel in 'More Resource' containers

[Paladinum]

Title. Why can't we have any Steel in 'More Resource' containers? Even if it's 50 per container and there is only a tiny chance to get one?

Because there needs to be a differentiation between what players get for just turning up and what players get for busting their guts in clan wars and ranked battles.

Steel should remain restricted (and it already drops in supercontainers).

Fine I guess. Ranked is really frustrating and Ranked Sprint doesn't give any Steel.

What Ralph said.

I especially like that it is an incentive for greater participation in Clan Battles.

WG have also been very understanding in providing a mechanism for converting Steel into Coal. imho, the conversion rate is works well.

Thanks for the tip about Super Containers. I did not know that Steel is a resource that is included in them.

On second thought, I don't know why I even posted this. I'm currently hoarding Coal for Salem and the Steel ships don't interest me anyway  A T9 US DD, a T7 CL and a Russian ship? Nah.
(which is to say: "I don't care about ships that I cannot get", however, I truly do not care about Russian ships. Ironic because this is a Russian game)

 

Alaska would probably be 1 mil free xp so I'd rather use that on the first German free xp ship. Feel free to check my profile to see my enthusiasm for Russian ships and my ignorance for German ships.

Interesting

ST. New year events.

Dear players!

Steel is a valuable resource that is used to unlock rare ships. At the moment it is awarded only to active participants of Clan and Ranked battles.
After adding steel to the game, we received many requests to make it more obtainable. This is understandable, because not everyone has the opportunity to play in competitive modes effectively and regularly.
To celebrate the New Year we have prepared 4 game events, and by participating in them you will get a lot of great prizes, including some steel.
This doesn't mean that we are now planning to constantly create events like this, but it's the New Year and as you know, this is a time for surprises.

So here's what awaits you:

«In The Name Of His Highness!» event
The new game event «In the Name of His Highness!» is dedicated to the heyday of armored ships of the early 20th century. It will last 4 weeks.
There are 4 stages of the event. Each stage consists of 4 directives. Each Directive contains 10 to 11 tasks. There is a corresponding reward of camouflage, signals, Christmas containers and even steel. And continuing our new year's tradition, the main prize will be a new premium tier VI German battleship - Prinz Eitel Friedrich!
Rules for completing directives are similar to the Royal Navy event. After the completion of all directives, access to the Hall of Fame is unlocked, for which points can be earned in co-op, random, ranked, clan, scenario or special battles.

Snowflakes.
Snowflakes are a one-time new year bonus, which is active as part of update 0.7.12.
The bonus will work on tech-tree ships from tiers V to X and premium and promo ships from tiers II to X. To "blow off a snowflake" from the ship, you need to go into battle in any mode except Training room and win. For this you will receive resources for the Arsenal: coal and steel. The higher the level - the more resources you get. The bonus may be “blown off” only once for each ship during the event.
This means that the more ships you have in the port, the more resources you can get for the Arsenal.

«Mighty Prinz» campaign
This is a temporary thematic campaign that will allow you to earn new year containers for the «Beautiful era» collection and get tier VI tech-tree ships. To participate in this campaign, you will need the battleship Prinz Eitel Friedrich, whose permanent camouflage will be the main reward.

«Steel giants» campaign
It will be available for purchase in the premium store. The campaign is dedicated to the construction of ships in the early 20th century. By completing its tasks and missions, you can get camouflage, signals, «Secret Santa» containers and steel.

In addition, there will be specific combat missions in update 0.7.12, and completing them will get you steel.

Thus, everyone will be able to choose their favourite activities, and we hope that the celebration will be successful. At the same time, the total amount of steel that can be obtained during the new year's activities is not so high as to devalue this rare resource and the efforts of those who earned it by playing in competitive modes.

Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary.

Not exactly what I suggested but okay I guess  

Which ship to buy if I have enough for one? Black or Flint...
