Hold your horses, it was a mistranslation. Thy will just reduce the penalty for low tier RU DDs, that's all.

Don't forget, this change also comes with removing the penalty entirely if you haven't gotten spotted. Even if you have 200m stealth range, if you fired with that window and didn't get spotted, then you won't get spotted until your next volley. We also don't know if there are other changes besides these two. Maybe they are changing the time you need to re-stealth too? maybe depending on the class?

This means non-AFT Fubuki with CE can't invisifire anymore.

I guess even Sub_Octavian can't give good answers every time.

Since this is an off-topic section I won't worry about derailing it, I will put everything in a spoiler though.

Mutsuki is a capper first, damage dealer second. it doesn't do well in standard mode, but in domination, you can often be the top in XP by just capping. Even though my damage in Mutsuki is almost half than my Minekaze, the winrate and XP is almost the same. When capping, try to stay at the edge of the circle, don't go deep. Since you are one of the stealthiest DDs, you will almost spot others first. If you see another DD and you have no cruiser backup, just leave the cap. Stay away from detection and spot the DD if you have cruisers shooting at it, then wait for an opportunity to re-cap than base from the enemy. Always prioritize capping over trying to torp an enemy. If you want to rush a lone battleship, do it from either the front or the broadside opposite of they gun direction. Don't charge at them from behind or the broadside hey are showing the guns from. Don't be afraid to gun fight with DDs, just make sure that the conditions favor you. Either support your team destroyers, or duel with other DDs with cruiser support. Hunting very low HP destroyers is an option too. Be sure that you can almost always determine the term of fighting. It is much easier to not fight than to escape a fight. I recommend Expert Marksman captain skill which would be a better choice than torpedo reload. You can try playing Mutsuki with Torpedo Acceleration captain skill. This will make Mutsuki closer in playstyle to Minekaze with 8 km range and 64 kts torps. You can get our 3rd smoke by premium a premium charge with credits. Always use camo on the ship if you didn't do already. This sounds like a hassle ship, but it is not hard to play if you just play it defensively and focus more on the win rather than the damage. Otherwise, the ship is average at best and not a miracle maker, so don't expect Minekaze level of enjoyment.

Personally, just being like GuP is good enough. GuP had a lot of tank action (half of it almost), so having naval warfare action is not bad. I hope it does not go Akame ga Kill. That anime kills characters just for the sake of shock factor and it's not really considered a quality. They can go cruiser and still be underdog. I'd love to see Tenryuu in there. If I'd think of a heavy cruiser, then Aoba since it is my favorite one in the game.

Maybe they will get an upgrade in the future, or rank up the main character to cruiser captain.

Man, I thought I'd make a thread but you guys were way ahead of me :C I liked that they went the GuP rout. Focusing on both the slice of life inside a ship and combat, and very minimal fanservice (I hope). I love how they chose a destroyer, it's more interesting to me ever since I've read "Japanese Destroyer Captain." The contrast in the anime between the two childhood friends's ships, Musashi which is said to be even more comfortable than Yamato, and a mere destroyer which was a hell to live in for the crew. Since we've seen some characters get hurt, will the anime go dark and possibly imply death? Will be interesting to see how the anime turn out in the future. One question I have though, what class of destroyer Harekaze is supposed to be? I'm not an expert but from the quadruple torpedo launchers it seems either a Kagero or Yuugumo (or Asashio). edit: I think according to this, it is a Kagero http://www.hai-furi.com/ships/

WG did say they are working on increasing the premium ships you can buy from the tech tree this year. Texas at least looks a good candidate for that.

Well, since WG said they will rebalance some ships AA, we don't know if New York will get the better AA or not. I still bet my money on pay to win because that's pretty much every premium ship they released lately.

Texas will have floatplanes according to pics Also, Molotov

It's true. Google translate the Russian word for shells to bombs. However, if they just buffed the deck armor, why didn't they say so?

So the question is, why a cruiser and not a BB or a DD? Since Nikolai will never be sold again and the only premium DD is Gremyaschy, it makes more sense that the 4th premium cruiser after Aurora, Murmansk and Kutuzov (excluding Diana because she's gift only).

Great, more Soviet cruisers!

Regarding that stream Q&A, Vallter_ gave doubloons to the 3 people whose questions he liked the most. RU devs handing out gifts like crazy and for the smallest things. take note WGEU!

I'm worried about the secondaries though. Just how effective do they want AI guns to be? Just scrap that stupid auto-fire idea if they want secondaries to be both effective and fun. Buffing secondaries now when they also want to stop long range torpedo attacks could give them yet another unforeseen circumstances.

So they have finally admitted it, instead of that "Europeans can't say her name" crap they gave before.

Well, it's more likely that more people play PvE at lower tiers, so most of the 30% you find there.

Since when Warspite has weak AA? my Fuso wish to know even since last patch.

BFT and AFT are only useful for your AA on Zao. If you really want AA upgrade then go for one of them, probably AFT and take Situational awareness instead because knowing when you are spotted in a cruiser is very important.

Even if you posted over the next days, it's alright. Hope they give you the tag. We'll make our own thread and demand they give it to you if they didn't.

Well, sorry to be breaking the discussion, I don't have new information myself, but today, there seems to be going a stream with the dev Vallter_ and he's going to answer questions (RU questions obviously). in case someone is interested in translating, I'll just leave the link here http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?/topic/50527-%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BC-%D1%81-%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B7%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC-%D0%B2-%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8F%D1%85-vallter

Well, torps, AA, HP probably, maybe range. The guns are bad but the ship is good all around, which is sort of the opposite of Furutaka.
