[WG] YabbaCoe WG Staff 4,595 posts 4,410 battles Report post #1 Posted May 21, 2020 Captains! Updates to unique upgrades In 0.9.5, we're starting the process of updating the unique upgrades. The current concept provides an additional opportunity to mount an upgrade with special-but-balanced bonuses in comparison to regular upgrades. These changes will balance the effectiveness of unique upgrades, and at the same time preserve the unique gameplay of each ship. You can view the detailed list of changes in the game client, Development Blog, and the article about Update 0.9.5. Soviet cruiser branch split Due to the Soviet cruiser branch being split into two sub-branches, the following changes will be introduced: heavy cruiser X Moskva will leave the light cruiser branch and acquire the status of being a special ship that's available in exchange for Coal. She'll be replaced by light cruiser X Alexander Nevsky. V Kirov will also leave the branch to become a Premium ship. She'll be replaced by V Kotovsky. Cruiser X Moskva will acquire the status of a special ship. This means that the base cost of the post-battle service of this ship will be reduced from 180,000 to 90,000 credits, and Commanders from other ships of the same nation can be assigned to her without any penalties and retraining requirements. If you've already researched cruiser X Moskva, but haven't yet purchased her; or if you sold her; or if the branch has been reset, you'll receive this cruiser. If your progress in the Soviet cruiser branch has been reset, the Research Point bonus will be transferred to X Alexander Nevsky. The unique upgrade and combat mission for cruiser X Moskva, as well as any permanent camouflages you purchased, will be preserved. If the Type 20 permanent camouflage hasn't yet been purchased, it will be added. The Commander of cruiser X Moskva will preserve his specialization. Cruiser X Alexander Nevsky can be obtained only after she has been researched and purchased in the Tech Tree. The same rules apply to cruisers V Kirov and V Kotovsky. Map improvements The following maps and Ports have been updated to accommodate the new lightning model and enhanced HDR technology: Riposte Operations maps: Killer Whale, Defense of Naval Station Newport, Raptor Rescue, Narai Ports: Dunkirk, Kronstadt, Designer's Table, and Twitch Prime Some changes have been made to the geometry of Greece and Sleeping Giant maps.

And to compensate this I will receive ... nothing I cant imagine purchasing a perma camo ever again. This just dont feel right. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also made a test with Des Moines in training room with and without this UU and reverse speed is the same. Are you sure, that Des Moines is reversing faster after equiping this UU?
