The "PvE skill check" likely refers to Flak, but it's not correct to focus on Flak damage just because it's a large damage number. Flak does have the possibility of dealing immense damage and stopping a squadron, but as has been repeated many times it's not something to expect or bet on. Personally, I think of Flak as a Critical Hit mechanic akin to each Flak puff providing a 1% chance of providing a large amount of damage, so 10 flak might equate to a ~10% chance of occurrence as an easy short-hand expectation.

Continuous Damage stacks multiplicatively. A Cruiser that has no DFAA, no flags, no skills, no upgrades can at most reach 150% output. A Cruiser that has DFAA, Flag, Skills, and a Slot 6 Upgrade for "all-in commitment" reaches up to 380% output. It's a 2.5 fold increase even without Flak ever touching an enemy plane.

Given the above range, if attacking an unspec'd Cruiser that costs 1.5 planes to strike there's an expectation of being str...

In case you were assuming the player was the channel owner, the video is a match from this player: https://wows-numbers.com/player/514647997,Animalul2012/

What percentage of the total CV-playing population do you think that is?

I helped host KotS 15's Finals over the weekend, so those were two loong days~

I's tired.

You can contact Customer Support to try and figure it out with them. I believe this would be the place to start: https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/help/30972/30973/30974/

You can find that information in my Compendium:

The end reward of the Dockyard Event is a Tier 9 ship, but you are correct that you must spend Doubloons in order to acquire it. Still, when creating the event the end prize must be weighed when evaluating the amount of effort that is required to attain it, discount or no.

The Dockyard doesn't have to be completed to get a host of rewards from all the stages which can be achieved just by playing the game.

The Co-Op Compatibility Review is for making sure that everything can be done by a strictly Co-Op player. Operations are another PvE activity, but it has been pointed out correctly that there are players which only play in the Co-Op Mode while still wanting to take part in major content beats as well as side missions for flags and patches and other fun recognitions.

I'm assuming "he" is meaning me? To be honest, 2,300 Base XP is extrodinarily hard to achieve. It certainly can happen, even multi...

Rather than just give you a cookie-cutter response, I've made a video that discusses the options available:

I've looked over the situation and it does look like the numbers are set correctly.

Our combat missions have a general expectation of how many battles they will take to be completed. If a player is looking to do two of the specific ship missions (you can avoid one of them by completing the week's challenge mission if you enjoy trying for those), it's probably going to take around 30-40 battles for each if you are using Green Bonuses. Blue Bonuses are available via the Battle Pass and other events, but they are a rare resource in general.

In order to reach the 255,000 Commander XP in 30-40 battles with Green Bonuses and a Tier 9+ Premium Ship (for another +100% Commander XP via the Bonus Package), you would need either:

an average of about 1,800 Base XP if you are not using Premium Time.


an average of about 1,100 Base XP if you are using Premium Time.

There are also Daily Win Bonuses that can assi...

I'm heading into the office after I write this post so I can help host the NA Regional Finals of KotS 15 with Boggzy. But here's some prelim numbers:

255,000 CommXP breaks down to:

Non-Premium:


Premium Time active:


The numbers certainly look intense for non-premium. Again, I'll double-check the plan later.

I can double-check this, but it is likely correct as shown. The "non-ship-specific" missions do tend to be a little lighter than the specific ones, though some larger Base XP missions may be large as many games will be needed to cover the week's activities.

Dockyards are longer events, so it's not unexpected that players will use some Ecobonuses along the way. You can get Grey and Green Ecobonuses from choosing the Economic Bonuses containers for your daily container rewards.
