Yamato cost change?! 353,000 points? and cannot use ship experiences

[👑MasterKarazard Nate👑]

When I researched Japan Battleship to tier 9...i have to be shock to see Yamato Cost change once i click on it.......it said 249,000 on the Tree list but once I click on it; it has become 353,000 and use "ducat" to convert points to purchase it. No matter how much ship Experience in Japan team I have....the cost to purchase didn't reduce down like usual.....is this something bug or some sort of sick joke.

Almost always you first need to research(you may choose to not buy and install them) some modules on a previous ship to research next tier ships. Pay attention to little arrows on modules screen that lead to the next ship. You haven't noticed them till Tier 9? o.O

[👑MasterKarazard Nate👑]

So if you not research Tier 9 ship it add to Tier 10?

If the Yamato's xp price is 249,000 and you see 353,000 to get the Yamato, that's a clear sign you may have a few modules in the way on the Izumo (Tier 9 IJN BB) that needs to be researched before the Yamato for it to be at 353,000 xp to research.

Oh I see the point connection cost now, 249,000 + Izumo B 44,000 + Izumo C 60,000 = 353,000. Wow that ridiculous, so if you not want to get ship before that...u still have to pay research cost for it -_-;;; wtf lol

I think your Tier IX Izumo all hull upgrades moudles which is going to yamato is not research , that why its shows you 353,000 total cost include all izumo hull moudles.

It was this way on all previous ships as well but you didn't notice that till tier 9.
You can use Free XP to speed up research, it's even possible to skip ships without buying them but you still need to research modules and next ship. But that would be kinda expensive.

But yeah, getting your first tier 10 is not easy, especially since tier 9 ships tend to be meh and there's no fun and fast game mode to use them. I've skipped half of XP towards Shimakaze with FreeXP.

Don't waste credits on the Izumo. It will cost you more than the Yamato and it sucks. Rather farm the needed free xp and skip that ugly piece of ♥♥♥♥.

Yeah, that's a possibility. Or play Izumo until you win for that +50% daily bonus then switch for any other more enjoyable ship.

That's what I did. A match or two for the daily on the A hull, then back to work on my German cruisers. Once I got enough to skip the rest of Izumo, I sold it off and got my Yammy.

I play Amagi till i get Yamato...Izumo doesn't seem that interesting to me.

Yeah, people say even after buffing it's still kinda meh
