I have a level 15 Willis Lee but a level 5 sims. Back in the day when I was too poor to buy sims I only had Willis but now I have like 3 million Commander XP and like 10 promotion orders. I wish you could convert insignias to promotion orders because I'm drowning in those and none of my commanders need them lol

For some odd reason (using free 2 play commanders), I have no trouble with battleships New Mexico, Tennessee, Georgia, and Kansas. ( I sold my Colorado couple years back but will get it back soon and I don't have Minnesota or New Jersey) but the Iowa... the Iowa is one of my most unlucky ships whenever I jump into it...I just don't understand why I'm so unlucky. Maybe its my team? the map? RNG? my playstyle? my internet connection? I just don't know.

Spartan, this would be plenty of struggle and pain you need to go through to grind out a higher tier ship along with a fully upgraded commander with at least two more commanders as inspirations. You are going to start to hate it long before you will get it. I am talking to be in the game spending no dime. It takes way too long to get there without shortcuts. One day you just realise that instead of enjoying you are doing a hard and dirty work of being a meat for those who donated. We all need variety. And buying premium ships you get it all and at once. An average price of a premium ship is beyond any limits, sadness
