But the problem isn't the farming process. It's, as Pansa noted, the "shitty drop rates." Getting to the nodes may have been simple, but you had to have either absurd luck or a bottomless pit of resources (or both) if you were after the Germans.

Graf's rate was stupidly low considering she was one of only four new ships (the other three being trophy DDs and a cruiser who's only real place is PvP and the odd ASW job) and a foreigner.

Prinz's drop was also insultingly terrible, given she was returning after a whole year and was even limited to one drop per player if you didn't already have her. On top of the whole "non-boss node = no drop at all" problem. And God help you if you cleared it on Easy before the Diamond Formation nonsense came to light.
