Any reason why our web shop takes 24 hours to add new content where as NA content is available in store the second the patch hits? Yesterday the 07.12 patch hit the NA server and in the premium shop was all the things you'd expect, but here in EU things take a while to be posted. In effect they then have 1 day more to complete all the missions and stuff (not that I do think that matters).. Just curious why we always have to wait until Friday before anything is made available, but it's a different practice elsewhere...

 

And just another case of overimpatient WoWs player....

She is in shop now.

Sorry for asking a question, could you please give a quick guide to how to post patient and correct questions? And if you also have a set way of how to phrase statements,  I'd really appreciate it as I'd hate to offend you in the future.

• Do not ask after 3 hours
• Wait

@MrConway  @Crysantos ARP and Dragon ships in Snowflakes - treated as premiums or silver ships?

 

Takao could earn Steel, Kongos and Myokos would get more Coal. That kinda makes the difference important

 

They should be treated as premium ships for the purpose of snowflakes :)

@MrConway, @Tuccy, @Crysantos: Is it possible that the 'Steel Monsters' campaign will also be added for purchase ingame for the equivalent price in doubloons?

 

This is not planned for this campaign and I don't think we have the technical functionality for this kind of in-game purchase ready yet.

You could integrate stuff like that into the Arsenal. We appear to be getting unique captains for doubloons in the Arsenal soon so the option to pay with doubloons is being implemented. There's still people around with plenty doubloons and little to spend it on after all.

Super, Thanks, Much appreciated! Although I sort of feel the last one is one you don't follow so I'll pay less attention on following that. The rest, duly noted.

We are indeed planning to expand the functionality there in future, but currently it is not ready yet.

There is a difference between making an observation and accusing someone of something that did not happen.

Stop including credits in the various packages you sell. If I want credits I can convert it using doubloons, give me more doubloons instead.

Credits is not a premium item so stop making us pay for it.

"The Holidays Are Coming!" yes, they do. So stop acting like your player base is only nolifers without families and real life. You give middle finger to us and get multi-thousands of middle fingers back.

 

Oh and steel mission price is retarded. Thanks for helping save money and time!  4K(you actually need to grind it too!!! haha) steel for T8 ship price?

1 tier 8 and 11 tier 10's, YOU DONT GIVE A [edited]. WHAT KIND OF MM ARE YOU USING? 

[toni9000]

In my opinion, putting Viribus Unitis only at tier IV is a huge mistake. The Austro-Hungarian navy was a major player in ww1, and it deserves to have its own tech tree in the game. Since the Tegetthof class (Viribus Unitis) was the best they ever built, putting it in tier IV would limit adding new ships. Viribus Unitis could (again, in my opinion) compete with tier V and even tier VI ships. So why not put it in tier V as a premium, and in the future add a branch of Austro-Hungarian battleships and cruisers that would extend to tier VI, for example? There were many plans for the enhanced class of Tegetthof battleships, who could, maybe, be put at tier VI, and I don't see why it should be such a great problem if a branch would extend only to tier VI instead of X.

I once thought just like you. The Tegetthoff class had better guns than the tier 5 König and better armor than the tier 5 Kongo. However, both these examples are the worst at their tier in the given areas but excel in many others. So, having better guns than the worst gun, and better armor then the worst armor, but being sub-par in everything else would make the Tegetthoff a slightly below average ship at tier 5. However, it would be among the strongest at tier 4.

The Tegetthoff-class had forward-firing torpedoes, this would make her a very strong tier 5 ship, but it's unlikely WG would implement such a "gimmick".

 

Still, not many ships around tier 4 and 5 are prepared to face four triple turrets with 305 mm guns! A careful balancing with dispersion and sigma must be done, no matter if tier 4 or 5.

 

The tier below Tegetthoff would certainly be the Radetzky, but the problem is the mixed-caliber guns which WG seems unwilling to implement (Her gun distribution is like the Nassau, but with the fore and aft guns having higher, and the rest having lower caliber). Still, it would be a very unique ship with only 2x2 main guns (305 mm!) and 4x2 secondaries with 240 mm, it would have the highest caliber secondaries in the whole game. A very powerful ship at tier 3. With some gimmicks even tier 4, but then the Tegetthoff would need other gimmicks to get to tier 5.

 

So, the Radetzky at tier 4, Tegetthoff at tier 5, and Ersatz Monarch at tier 6 might be possible, but they would be mediocre at best, even with some fictional upgrades (like improved AA, otherwise they would have absolutely the worst AA at their tiers).

Radetzky at tier 3, Tegetthoff at tier 4, and Ersatz Monarch at tier 5, however, would be quite powerful ships. I also don't think a line must go to tier 10, but at least to tier 6 or maybe 7 would be nice.

 

To sum it up, the Austro-Hungarian battleships were among the most advanced battleships when they were built, but as they were built for the Mediterranean, not for the oceans, they would have problems with the typical WoWs style of calculating HP: displacement. They had rather low displacement, which would translate to low HP.  Also their speed was quite poor, as they were designed mainly for blockades in the Adriatic sea, and not for long voyages.

 

I hope that when they implement the Novara cruiser, they will add smoke generators. The historical Novara had an impressive battle with Admiral Horthy (who later became regent ad de-facto ruler of Hungary) commanding her, where she survived thanks to her smoke generators.

Any chance we can get any information how long the actual 200% for the first win will last? I think the news got lost in the mail. :)
