Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for.

Błyskawica has been power crept to near useless and they think some gun and torp angles will sort it rofl. WG not a clue yet again.

If ARP Takao gets red skin, does that mean some new Arpeggio collab is in the works or someone stumbled upon old archived skin of hers?

 

Also turrets are Myoko ones, not Takao class. They look different (Myoko have rounded roof and rounded "turret cheeks", Takao are flat and square)

We cannot comment on possible future collabs. As far as I know, that's how Takao looks like in the anime before a certain event (don't want to have any big spoilers here). It might be that the turrets are supposed to look like that. Maybe some anime-expert can comment further on that.

There have been complaints in the previous feedback-topics that the lighting since 2 or 3 updates looks too harsh and over-saturated... But that would mean you'd actually have to read those feedback topics.

I am aware of those lighting issues and they were passed on. Not all are reproducable and in some cases it is related to personal settings, filters, etc... For some it is simply personal taste, which is generally very subjective (For example: personally, I always disable bloom effects and motion blur in any game where it is present, but it still seems to be quite popular).

 

However, overall, our sea was never realistic in the regards mentioned above (it has always been way too flat) and there are also no other more realistic effects like the waves affecting turret elevation (due to the whole ship being bumped up by them). Afterall, it is not meant to be realistic. But without having the actual effects, adding such visual features like bigger waves would make it look even more weird and unrealistic.

Still wrong.

Standard for Cruiser is 33% NOT 10%

We will double-check the numbers. It seems there is some confusion, also in regards to what is written on the wiki.

Not really, as in anime she had "normal" for Takao class square turrets. Also just noticed in game ARP Takao as well premium Atago are missing rangefinder on first turret. And every Atago picture I can google off has rangefinder on first turret

Spoiler

 

Also forum had brainfart of some sort, as I got notification of you quoting me... in german section in topic about chat ban

No, that was my bad. I had marked some posts here for multi-quoting, but was still waiting for an answer from devs (regarding the citadel damage repair percentage), so I decided to check another topic I had opened in the DE section, to which I replied first. As I still had the quoted posts, they were copied over to the DE thread. Sorry for the confusion. :D

It's all the same old to be really honest after PaytoRico I don't give a Ship, Nothing has or will change from 2019 the finger was given they can't take it back.. Wargaming like any other Games Company anywhere want money and will do whatever to get it... NTC never was going away no matter what it's called, Containers are OK if they are free but No Way am I buying Any unless I know what's in them (They fooled me once I'd be stupid to let them do it twice)  So I'm going to play the game that I enjoy as I do EA games etc products... no pretending to be buddies. If WG want to change it's up to them, I can't see it myself but you never know.

Will it not be any britt heavy cruisers below tier V

I live in Jönköping in sweden were the dreamhack take place. and that city lies in the county of SMÅLAND. Yes, the name of the tier X European dd. I have made a tour with that ship in  1979. Today she is a museumship in gothenburg.

I had some funny ideas about that ship and that europeen line. with a commander with special skills. When I was in the navy I met commander Karl Andersson, I think he is quite well known but for you who don't know him 
I can inform you that he was the commander that in a patrolboat rammed the allready grounded submarin U-137 or what we call in sweden a wiskey on the rocks in the early 80. I have written to both Mr conway and Crysantos and one of them hasn't even read the message and the other has read but not anseared or replied at all.

Do you think it is to much for the russians having the nemises of their U-137 in the game. I think it could be fun

[Stronginthearms]

I think it is very odd that 8 out of 10 dd are swedish, after all they were not that good, what about dutch,spanish and all the rest

Don't worry. There will be a cruiserline and maybe even a bb-line in future and there is no swedish bb.s only two crusier

They were built for combat within the arcepelago and for subhunting mostly and they were good at that.

But of course, if you acquire said T10 ship after 0.9.1 drops, you will be locked into the ing Research Bureau to get these upgrades 

 

Seriously, just get rid of the research bureau and the regrinding mechanics. All it is is a crutch for your developers to avoid having to come up with good ways to get long-term players to go back to lower tiers, while making the game worse for everyone who's not played for ages and already has everything unlocked.

Where can I find the mentioned dedicated article about the Lunar New Year ships?

Well mayby  a Friesland with torpedos. a think she was put to sea 1954

 

[ShitButFunny_Noobies]

sooooo, the nerfs to Kleber and Henry are MASSIVE and in case of Henry take the ONE unique thing it has going for it, it's flavour, so to speak. Kleber was to strong, i agree, Henry... well, in the hands of a good captain, a very strong ship, but far from OP, I think. yet both get the hammer... KREMLIN on the other hand gets nerfed in a way, that will, at best, be felt after mid-battle, in a way, that only CVs will actually be able to make profit from... so the least played shipclass AFTER the battle is half over and Kremlin already had a huge impact on the outcome. Congratulations, you have finally found the way, to nerf a ship, by doing the LEAST POSSIBLE damage to it's completely broken design. Because, I am sure, the BIGGEST and MOST OFTEN complaint about Kremlin, came from CV players about her AA being to healthy... another proof, how you constantly ignore player feedback, to comfort your russian player base. well done, indeed. on top of it, we get another half arsed ship line (if you keep bringing one, every two months, you run out of content before 2020 is over), that nobody asked for... where are italian BBs? commonwealth cruisers? more panasian ships? pan-european cruisers? nope, I am afraid, we see russian CVs, before italian BBs...

driving veteran players away from the game, breaking the camels back more and more, hiding the unique upgrade modules behind a grind/paywall (before those changes, one had to play the game IN SAID SHIP, instead of converting XP into free XP with CASH)... you are steering the game on a course, that will make it dive into mediocrity AT BEST, making it not a unique playing experience, but yet just another BS monetized multiplayer pay to win game... good stuff... sad to see such a great game, get ruined like that... next, you sell it to EA to do the publishing as an AAA title, one has to buy for 80 euros, only to find most content hidden behind another paywall...

and the firing of IEarlGrey has finally proven, how big of a non-caring, selfish piece of crap SUBOCTAVIAN really is. he hurt his own reputation a lot more with this act, than grey did with his tweets. WELL DONE, WELL DONE INDEED...

Lol

[Toxoplasmosi]

Another nerf for Kremlin???? 50% less fot the HP pool of her AA mounts ??? Bad very bad!!!

When will you adjust the turrets turn time speed for premium Russian DDs (Leningrad, Okhotnik), as you did for those of the tech tree ?? It is absurd that premium ships are worse than silver.

 

[Varate_me_k_as_Klaiw]

I dont know how many DD's left at higher Tiers...i see few in battles...but i Sell today my Mogador...when you have in battle *&^*&)& O.P ships like Smolensk Mino's and Puerto Rico (have immunity even at full broadside to 457 A.P shells...ok!) yopu should no Nerf DD's who hav nt even smokes!!!!!

Yopur last year updates are goes to worst...Pity...

From the article: 

• The combat missions that reward players with unique upgrades for Tier X ships can still be received until the release of Update 0.9.1, by playing one battle with the specified Tier X ship.
• Any of these combat missions already obtained prior to this point will expire on December 31, 2020.

 

So you need to play 1 battle on the tier X ship you want the unique upgrade for before the end of update 0.9.0 (that goes live for EU on Thursday).

Meaning you have roughly a month to play that first battle to obtain the mission. 

 

Once you have obtained the the "old style" combat mission, you have until the end of 2020 to complete it. 

 

Hope that answers your question! 

 

Edit: You can also go down the new route of the Research Bureau, you will not be locked into the "old style" combat mission.

I currently have 1 T10 ship.

I am working to get my seconds T10 ship.

 

What you are telling me is that I have about 4 weeks to get that 2nd T10 ship to start the legendary module mission.

If I fail to reach my second T10 before 0.9.1 hits, it means that I can not get the legendary module?

Since I do not have a Research Bureau. And I will not get it for a while, since it takes time for me to get more T10 ships.

So in a few years I might have enough ships to unlock the Research Bureau.

And then I need to regrind lines... which will take me months, if not another year.

 

Are you people aware that while there are some people in your game that get from T1 to T10 in a few weeks, there are a ton of people who need a lot more time to get a single line at T10?

And what do you think are the odds that after spending a few years to get enough T10 ships to unlock the Research Bureau that I will reset one of those lines?

I never got any ship from any container, so my fat wallet will remain a walking-toward-sunset Shrek-like figure waving goodbye to WG.

You can acquire mission for legendary module until 0.9.1. If you manage to do that, you should have entire 2020 year to complete the mission.

 

And whole "bureau" is supposedly aimed at "veteran players having nothing to do in game"... or those willing to throw wallet repeatedly at the screen to convert Free Exp to get the goodies.
