[31ER] skottorp Players 8 posts 8,211 battles Report post #2 Posted August 29, 2019 I dont know what has happend in the latest patch but the game is not playable... If you are in a Nassau you dont stand a chanse if there are CV in game. The already weak AA is useless now, and CV torp planes kill left right and center among BB`s... Played 3 games as Nassau and i lasted longest when i ancored close to a CV... I will stop playing untill next patch and hope the "problem" would be solved asap.

[GLOBS] gmomkey Players 273 posts 22,085 battles Report post #4 Posted August 29, 2019 Love the port guys but . the ship is set too low on the screen and you cant read the name plate , maybe have the name of the ship in black ? as you see , you can't see the the majority of the ship .even if you pan round a large portion is hidden . maybe the angle of the camera could be adjusted a little ? it would be nice to see what is written on the plaque . other wise it's looking good so far . how can I do the Clan Battles ??? as I am the only one in my clan on the PTS ? and it seams that my Clan Tags are MIA ?

[GLOBS] gmomkey Players 273 posts 22,085 battles Report post #6 Posted August 29, 2019 2 CV's a team in any tier is too much .. but tier 10 is brutal I know this is PTS . but please for the love of the Players can we keep it to 1 CV a team through all tiers . and the AA fire is sounding a little Space Battle ish ? like the sounds from the Space camo's but they are normal camo's . It just sounds a little weard . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlwaysBadLuckWithTeams Weekend Tester 1,469 posts 37,910 battles Report post #7 Posted August 30, 2019 So I just had a match in a cv, and the new sounds.... I am not saying they are bad per se, it probably just takes some time getting used to them. So taking off reminds me of an old gas lawn mawer (I think it's actually much closer to the real sound of starting WW2 piston engines, but as I said, it will take time). Overall, the planes sound more like a race car, especially when starting to boost. And there is this futuristic short sound bit when boosting. Which just feels out of its time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simonthdk Players 2 posts Report post #10 Posted August 30, 2019 The new sounds for the carrier (especially the engine boost sound) is kinda weird..it sounds "sci-fi" :p And the sound when you are cruising is a bit strange too.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[STARS] RedOnly Players 733 posts Report post #13 Posted August 30, 2019 Guys, please give us bacvk the good old path design for CV on the Map!! This spline thing is ridiculous!!! CV suddenly stops, go backward, then stop again and then go slowly somewhere that is not they are supposed to!! The left path was out generated after I draw the right one! I want to draw straight lines with all the course I need! Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The left path was out generated after I draw the right one! I want to draw straight lines with all the course I need! Thank you! I think the problem is the espace a ship need to turn. I want to draw straight lines too.. but is possible to add a circle with radius of turn of the ship. When ship reach it, she turn to next WP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The old lines where pointless, they just showed the connection between points. The points you can still set, but the lines show you no information, because it was not the real path only a path between points. Now it shows the real path, and it gives you the information, that the CV wants to move back to have enought space for a turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The left path was out generated after I draw the right one! I want to draw straight lines with all the course I need! Thank you! Because borderline is preset for AI as obstacle. When the ship standing before an obstacle, AI move first back and then he start turning left or right. Player in most of case can turn without problem, rudder full right or left and then 3/4 speed, but preset distance to identify obstacles for AI is too far because he turn left or right with full speed and then he starting turn left or right. how to solved it: at obstacles: 1. set the distance for AI a little closer => set turning radius for AI to 3/4 speed not for full speed => turning radius is smaller 2. if ship standing before obstacle (ofcourse for new preset distance and speed = point 1.) first set full turn right or left and then 3/4 speed 3. set borderline = not obstacles AI was improved in 0.8.7 but we need still a little bit more in related with obstacles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[GLOBS] gmomkey Players 273 posts 22,085 battles Report post #23 Posted September 6, 2019 WG . Have you tweaked the AA sounds ? in my Audacious and the Shells shooting by the planes sound less Space shippie and more realistic ? I am liking this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[U-F-G] Hellsreaper Players 1 post 10,667 battles Report post #24 Posted September 6, 2019 Not easy to test, if even the bots run away from testing enviroments.. The only thing i noted was that the AA is way too powerfull against a tier 6 CV, tier 8 CV planes have a little bit more survivability, if all modules and talents are upgraded. I hope this is due to testing the AA changes and not a big nerf to the planes hp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[GLOBS] gmomkey Players 273 posts 22,085 battles Report post #25 Posted September 7, 2019 Perfect WG ship could do with being Higher up on the screen . but the plate is now readable this is the default camera angle . I have a 20" screen . yeah I know its small but lots of Captains run this on a Laptop with the same ish size screen . also the Clan Battle notice on the live server is below the ship Carasol and is annoying . Maybe the Ships centre mass should be in the centre of the screen ? and the Clan Battle notification raised to the centre ? ( Yeah I know that is going to take a little time . ) as you can see in the 3rd Screen shot . there is a ton of pretty screen space above the Ship . with the movable camera you would still be able to pan around the port but when the port goes to the default view having the ship higher would help a lot . The Philippines Port is purfict now on to testing . I'll be Back 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
