There will be information about Exeter very soon, as for Leone - stay tuned!

For the public execution?

Kudos for the truly nice infographics about Alaska! Keep these in the future!

Also flags for credits is welcome.

Italian battleship level VI Giunio Bruto ??? Do not tell me that besides the unfortunate attempt to bring Giulio Cesare to liv VI you will also change the name to Giunio Bruto. Whoever bought the Giulio Cesare bought it 1st because it is liv V; 2nd because it is Italian; 3rd, the name (true) is GIULIO CESARE. No Italian would ever buy, or have, anything with the name of Giunio Bruto, murderer of Giulio Cesare! And no one would ever think to give the name of Giunio Bruto to something in Italy. Giunio Bruto has been a betrayer for the history. WG what are you doing?

Stabbing Cesare by Bruto. Just like in history 

...

In the other hand, I hope they just preparing for Novorossiysk. Cesare postwar in Soviet service in the same fashion as Nürnberg / Admiral Makarov. Just hoping... Kinda...

[NothingButTheRain]

This update looks good to me, I approve! 

The new CV camo looks kickass! 

 

I'm not sure what to make of the Shards changes. Personally I liked the map the way it is because it was so different and played a lot more differently. We shall see how this one ends up.

 

I'm looking forward to the portlag fixes. Imo this was long overdue.

Aaaaaah ok. Thank you. (anyway I am absolutely not agree to move GC from V to VI) With that name Giunio Bruto is clear that WG is going to KILL Giulio Cesare! (V ----> VI)

I hope this is just kinda a preparation for the Novorossiysk. Aka Cesare post war in Soviet service (with some improvement) in the same fashion as Nürnberg/Makarov.

Think you might have made a mistake with the premium container awards. Why is Edinburgh (a stock tree silver ship) listed when it's not a premium ship unlike: Hood, DOY and Vanguard. Should that not have been the Belfast instead of Edinburgh.

Nice try :)

[MRGTB]

I'm not joking.

 

It makes no sense why they give away 3 premium ships, but include a stock silver ship in the 4 ships. So think that should have been Belfast and mistake was made. Dunno?

[PassTheSalt]

Silver ships gives some people a handy leg up a tree they might not have played yet.

@MrConway (Sorry for using the bat signal. I realise that it should be used only when you feel that you really have to use it)

 

I was under the impression that bot carriers would be added to co-op in 0.8.1

Can you confirm that PvE has been given a stay of execution, and that bot carriers will not be added?

Or is this an omission from the patch notes?

Ta!

[taffelost]

Carriers has been nerfed too much. I'm not playing them until it's buffed somewhat again. But that's cool. I have plenty of other ships to sail.

[MRGTB]

Looking forward to the British CV coming. Been holding off playing other nations CV till the Brit ones came.

Kronstad 750k free xp ...ok..

alaska 1M free xp…..

why ??? 

 

and flag sell good ıdea bad use…..thıs prıce ıs very hıgh WG.. ı know u are bad but thıs ıs very bad

new cv nerf last 3 weeks …. ok.. but all other (T10) shıps aa stıll very strong (mıno for exp.) and premıum shıps rebalance needed...

[Leutnant_Kramer]

What's with those flag prices? I get that the economy is somewhat ...well, I don't want to say "broken" - but I doubt that selling marginally useful signals at a ridiculous cost will fix it.

Also: Yay, Alaska! Looks like I'll be back down to 900k free XP on Thursday

[lmperial_Japanese_Navy]

What is this copy paste IJN Yukikaze ?!?!

What happened to the IJN  Yudachi you showed on facebook ??

[DarkPhariah]

Close, but no. 'Posh' Romans spoke ancient Greek as opposed to Latin, which was seen as vulgar.

 

Caesar's last words were reportedly, (but probably not), "καὶ σὺ, τέκνον" which could be rendered as something close to "You too, son/child?".

[GoneFishingAgain]

Easiest way to settle buff/nerf issue with CVs.

Simply REMOVE altogether, no action needed in the future.

Or

WG could address the real problem of spotting mechanics in the game.  It's a game, but some historical accuracy would be welcome, like:

- radar and hydro don't work through islands. If it was fixed to LoS principle, radar could last even longer, but target ships could be given counter in form of vector line where the radar detection came from - like a line, without exact distance

- only LoS should give 100% to any ships' accuracy - for all kinds of indirect spotting accuracy should be nerfed severely - that would bring an end to endless camping, spaming HE behind cover,  shooting from and behind smoke (which was used btw as a defensive measure). 

- also worth trying should be the proper task force composition - any team could be comprised of max 1 CV + 1 BB (or 2 BBs), 4 CA/CL and 6 DDs

Why didnt Chapy get an increase in radar duration?

 

• IX Black – increasing from 20 to 22 seconds
• VIII Hsienyang – increasing from 15 to 20 seconds
• IX Chung Mu – increasing from 17 to 22 seconds
• X Yueyang – increasing from 20 to 25 seconds
• IX Dmitri Donskoi – increasing from 20 to 25 seconds
• IX Kronshtadt – increasing from 20 to 25 seconds
• X Moskva – increasing from 25 to 30 seconds
• X Stalingrad – increasing from 25 to 30 seconds

 

As you can see even the T8 DD gets this increase and also DMD and Kronshtadt which are using the same 20s duration radar - This is a pretty hard nerf to the Chapy radar!

Baiscally the target is only visable to the team for 14s which is a drop of 6s - compared to the drop of the other russian radars of only 1s.......

Additionally you increase the radar range of RN and USN radar ships, reducing the "special feature of russian radar" even more.....

Ru radars going to 12km no?

just wondering how many with 32-bit system? Maybe Me  (that's how much I know of PC systems)?

 

Besides via 'sysinfo' you can also open 'File Explorer' and click on 'This PC' with the right mouse button to select 'Properties'. This will show you the most important specs of your system.

The 'System type' entry should state '64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor'.

 

If it says '32-bit Operating System, x64-based processor' you will only need to install a 64-bit Version of Windows - if your processor isn't x64-based, well then you have a) a rather old PC and are b) screwed - i.e. you have to buy a new(er) one. ;-)

Yes but still RN and USN get from 9 to 10 km basically "devalueing" ru radar by 33 %

RU radar currently 1.8 km longer than best USN, after patch 2.0 km longer, yeah that's a big old reduction there...
