[Orkel2]

The AA buffs are pretty huge. As some examples, the Fuso's rating went from 28 to 40. Nagato from 20 to 34. Yamato from 61 to 67. Kongo from 14 to 30. and so on.

Not only battleships got the AA buff, my Mogami is now rated at 34. Seems to be a blanket buff.

[Orlunu]

Mutsuki grabbed a couple last match.  Does seem to be a big difference.

Speaking of the Mutsuki, take a look at the turret turn rate. I'm pretty sure it was at 40s before the patch. Now it's at 30s for stock and 18s for upgraded guns

Same. Luckily I sold it because I got to Hatsuharu!

 

The trouble is still that she only has 2 guns.

I hope so, AA is strong enough as it is.

[Takeda92]

While the turret speed buff was nice, you still turn faster than the turrets and the USN DDs are still OP with their turret speed and RoF. 

[Crooq_Lionfang]

Regarding the AA increase, it is only fair for those ships that (during upgrades) sacrifice main armament like a whole turret for improved AA capabilities to actually get something worthwile out of it. However, if it is a blanket buff to all ships (regardless of upgrades) it might be a bit too much of a nerf for carriers.  Well, data will (or will not) show that, and testing that stuff is what we are here for, no?

You trade that for: lower profile, longer torpedo range.

Lower profile is nice. longer range? its use is debatable, since torpedo detection is good enough for the enemy to evade them completely. 

Better torps vs better guns is not something easy to balance. I guess devs keep tweaking a bit and see how that works out.

[Makoniel]

Yuubari have been removed?! I need to check it out. 

But this update may be nice for DD.

I hope the AAA buff won't make the CVs unplayable, I still havn't the Lexington.

[JapLance]

Another nice surprise.

 

Loaded a replay... and it works!!!!

[DumbleDerp]

I'd be interested to see what CV players think of this. So far seen a few raging about "carriers ruined" due to the AA buffs. Never played a CV myself, but as a BB player I would obviously welcome the change 

 

[Scizortex]

I was playing CV whole time but I will see now is it difficult to play with torpedo squad. Before this patch it was pretty easy to land full torpedo hit. 

 

[slaydo]

I have experience 2 disconnects already.. Any1 else have this issue as well?

 

[lethalbizzell]

this is why i love beta, time to test and respond to these updates !

 

[genai]

Really? AA buff? Lol... planes were already easy to deal with... it was just that there were too many BBs in game, and a bad ones... now cruisers even more useless... no buff for them, especially IJN ones??? As a cruiser user, planes were a joke to deal with, even on IJN cruiser!

 

So many BBs in game, every ship has crazy AA now, CV even less effective now so BBs even harder to deal with... other than with a BB... what is the use of cruisers again?

 

Now even worst idea ever, open map? Hope there will be a way to veto that map when the game is done... as a cruiser/dd player, i dont ever wanna see it, as game was already too BB heavy, and now its even more in their favor with these changes and now BB map too?

 

Strange where this is going... hope its just a change to check how would it be if it was like that... as its obviously horrible at first sight...

Totally disagree. Lets try it first then comment please. DDs and CAs will need to play more tactically and support BBs. No more hiding behind an island but proper naval combat. Bring it on.

[czaki222]

The AA buff that people are talking about isn't provided in the patch notes that Tarnwiesel pasted. And where on Earth are the patchnotes officially posted?

Detailed patch notes to follow basically

[Psychological_Warfare]

I also really wish to do some "open (water)field" battles. Let's see how it works out. No more camping behind islands - oh boy, how often did i see cruiser/battleships basically camping behind island without moving even a bit...
