USN has also so many BB premiums so it is no problem to miss it, with the coming California and later Ohio it will be at least 1 on every level from T5-10, sadly I do not have Arkansas but the lower tiers are back in a few games so that is not a problem. In my US BB line which I probably will reset multiple times/seasons I have both T6 and T8 at 19 (+T10 ofc) and I think it might be possible to get the T9 there too during this grind with a little help from eliteXP. Even though all lines have at least 10 p captains on all tiers with a few exceptions the numbers of captains on 19 or close to is also important as it provides even more strenght to the captains and get maximum value in the regrind if you have a few approching or at 19 level. So apart from being fun to play also suitable captains are part of the equation. It is pretty alright to grind again in some of the lines - besides the spceial flags needs somewhere to be used and you can not improve your captains without playing.

What streamers and those do that have abundance of money is another matter. Well I try to maintain the numbers of FreeXP before and after grind as there will be other uses like Friesland.
