In response to [MoC] When to use your bazooka's
Walhallah
The Ministry of Coaching presents us with very interesting articles that help guide new players or moderately advanced players along the paths of eRep.
There is one particular article of them that I want to challenge. I hope we can start a debate about this in order to make our people more successful in the game.

I would like to add that in my limited experience the MAIN purpose to use your bazooka's currently is the MISSIONS. It would take dozens of bazooka's to bring in a BH, but bazooka's are NECESSARY for completing missions.
* Missions sometimes require to do 200 or even 500 kills, sometimes in one day. Bazooka's is the most health friendly way for a kill.
* Missions sometimes require to do a relative % of hitpoints
* Missions sometimes require you to kill some mean bastard titan that has 10.000 hp
* Missions sometimes REQUIRE you to get a BH.
This all seems difficult, and it can be a real challenge. However if you complete the missions, even partly, the rewards can be worthwhile, such as
* Small Bombs and Big Bombs => major damage
* Gold
* Strenght.
The last mission was a real challenge. I wonder how many people actually completed it. I bet many people actually stopped trying when they read the requirements that were published. Now, I took the challenge but it turned out that you sometimes get extra energy bars or bazooka's that actually allow you to complete the missions without you being filthy rich in gold.
All in all i spend 30 bazooka's and 30 EB's + what I received in the missions itself. The previous Titanic challenge was actually similar. Lies! I also spend 500cc on extra Q7 weapons, because I ran out. However, i didnt spend any additional resources, money or gold.
So basically I would like to advice everybody to gather enough EB en bazooka's through the DO's so you can complete the missions. Its not impossible to gather 30-40 of each in advance. The 20 EB and handful of bazookas that you received during last missions (you also get parts by fighting) are enough to finish them and get your hands on the goodies.
If at all, save your bazooka's for the MISSIONS. You need them on stock to complete them, but only a reasonable amount.
In other words, DONT use them for BH and certainly not randomly.

voted , and agree with the strategy ......🙂
I always exchange them for EB's, more dmg that way.
i might sound stupid but how do you change em for EB's???
You can't? Maybe you need to be a certain lvl for it.
otherwise i wouldn't ask m8 🙂 , to me switching zookas for eb's is a lucrative & good deal if i could ...
Precisely. That's what I always do. Atm I have more then 500 zooka's (not to mention the tons of parts) just waiting to get exchanged for a future mission. If that lasts to long I will just sell them as it's messing with my storage space.
I bet its not possible that i buy a bunch?
Good article Walhalla and spot on. Indeed the missions will need to be completed with zooka's.
What you need doing though is fistly await an article that explains all you have to do and then combine it as much as possible. For instance; During the last missions I completed the 4000 and 6000 health, 200 kills, 500 kills, BH and the amount of damage to deal in one battle. Not sure but I believe there was even another one. A great deal of the resources needed was gathered during missions. Compared to the point before mission start I estimate I "lost" around 10 EB's and a few small bombs and gained 7 big bombs.
On a sidenote I guess that a lot of people however were not able to do them all as a result of the building need for rockets. In comparison with previous missions however you didn't need to complete all other missions before the end game. Only one path full was enough to get the endgame.
Exactly. Unfortunately i forgot to combine the 200 and 500 kills, so i could have done it more efficiently. But i did combine the 4000 and 6000 health and 500 kills.
The current tutorials are great work, but several adjustments need to be made, indeed. The current Ministry of Recruitment & Coaching is gathering all tutorials that have been posted during the years in a central place (on the eNL forum) and will update them, where they can be reached easily by our new citizens.
