World of warships blitz #2 Podvoisky - Silent Shoal - Tier 5 USSR battle...

HMS Iron Duke

So I finished grinding the Orion in World of Warships, great ship btw and I will definitely keep her. Now I’ve unlocked the next one ship of the Royal Navy battleship tree, HMS Iron Duke. As I also only needed two more elements to complete the Dunkirk Collection and I did have coal to spare, I bought a couple of containers and got Jack Dunkirk for finishing it. I already have Bert Dunkirk and use him as a commander on HMS Neptune. These unique commanders do have some traits that make them a stronger pick than the normal commanders. 

Anyway, my decision to add the British battleship line to the many lines I already grind does leave me a bit undecided what I should spend my coal for.

Thunderer the tier 10 reward ship is a pretty nifty boat and sports 457 mm main guns and got the British zombie heal, but I already own Warspite, Nelson and Hood as premiums, so do I really need her?

On the other hand there is the IJN Yoshino, she’s basically Azuma’s nastier big sister and also has torpedos which Azuma lacks.

But then I already own two other super cruisers, the USS Alaska and the KM Ägir. 

But then that’s a decision I don’t need to make right now as I’m still about 70.000 coal short for what each ship would cost. So I guess that will mean more grinding for me then!

Grinding the lower tiers once more

So as I started grinding another campaign in World of Warships, namely the  Five Epochs of the Navy campaign, I find myself playing more lower tier ships again. Actually that was the perfect excuse to get started in some lines I had shamefully neglected. 

The tier 4 British battleship Orion was a blast to play even though I only used a 3 point commander on her - so no seals were harmed this time I think. I will definitely continue grinding that line, considering that I still got several Azur Lane commander for RN ships as well who I haven’t put to use yet.

Shenyang the Pan-Asian Tier 4 destroyer was another fun ship I shamefully overlooked. She’s the former IJN Namikaze a Minekaze class destroyer  transferred to the Republic of China Navy after WWII but got American guns and torpedoes. Extremly fast and nimble and a very good gunboat for her tier too. Definitely a keeper - like Orion is.

Russian light cruiser Lazo

So I managed to get the drop final lootbox for the King of the Sea collection today for watching the KOTS XI finals and that snared me the tier 7 Soviet light cruiser Lazo. One great looking ship and free as well. Looks like I’ve got to continue the grind for the tier 8 tech tree Chapayev then!
