Summary of the latest release

[Ocsimano18]

1. UI change is half baked, ship XP is missing.

2. Sound change is a complete disaster, immersion breaking and makes me don't want to play

3. Port graphics update: Looks nice but a bit too much for my taste (like a cake with too much sugar)

3. New carriers at T4 and T6 are trash, T8 looks fine but you are not likely to get her without paying

4. T10 perma camos are nice, but you won't get them without paying way over the regular 5000 doubloons price

5. More missions are ok to get free signals and camos, (new German camo is nice looking and has nice 200% FreeXP bonus) without too much effort.

6. Tallin seems to be lackluster (it is now available for research)

7. AP bomb nerf: yet to see it

8. Venezia nerf: yet to see it

9. The better you play in OPs the less gains you have

Don't have the t6 cv yet but t4 is not trash, imo. It is just different. I played two games in it and it does okay damage overall. It is more difficult to play compared to other cvs due to its ap rockets which is useless against dds. This line is more like a cruiser-bb hunter. When there are a couple of cruisers in enemy team, your eyes are like:

Can‘t play anymore. I played on Linux with steam and old WG account including a workaround to be able to override steam login. This doesn‘t work anymore.

No game is good enough to bother with this windows shite again. So I guess I‘m out.

The new CVs have serious issues withe defending themselves against DDs, ok granted the muscle memory needs to be developed for the new line as each plane type is just a bit different to what we are all used to but still even so its very hard to hit fast dds at speed with torps and you kinda have to use torps...

There are some reasons if enemy dd is close to your cv; (1) The entire flank collapsed and you did not move away on time (2) All flanks collapsed and it is close to end game, you are one of two ships or the only ship remaining alive (3) You didn't check the minimap properly and enemy dd sneaked in to hunt you. The best defense with these German cvs against dds is map awareness which involves mobility and discouraging them to pass certain lines while they are not even close to your ship. Torps being the only  tool (though not very effective) against dds, it is difficult to land them on such small targets (although in my both games i hit dds with torps). However you can always light them up and your team will take care of it.

Personally I love it, but then I'm a 40k fan. I move that we rename the port 'Grimburg'

 

Oh, I've just noticed something: in the dockyard screen (also Hamburg of course), it's a nice sunny day with blue skies and fluffy white clouds; then as soon as you exit back to the port screen, everything instantly gets all moody and smoggy, juts for moving down-river a little way. Whoops! ;)

the sounds, are they just lifted straight from world of tanks? sound really strange

im having no luck all the cruisers i play against seem to have found thier rudders and a few degrees turned off flat is enough to drop the damage way down below what normal rockets would do, great if people are afk though!

Right, it is difficult to do cita on angled cruisers. Not only afks but also the cruisers that are fighting other ships usually show broad and that’s when you can take your chances. But because it is a low tier cv,  the games are low tier and easier too. I saw cruisers just sailing straight as I approach to them. Also try the rockets on cvs. Did five citas in one salvo to enemy cv broadside which was sailing straight.

also guys; have you seen the how the water looks?

[lossi_2018]

10. Ship xp now invisible in port. (you need to fiddle wit the mouse over the captain to see it, if you figure it out.)

Or each side of the map is blessed with a big red blob so you cant really predict which side will collapse first, you will be visible to the blob if you are at their side instantly should this happen and then the red baguette sails at 50 kt right through the middle... So now you can move away from it...

The new sfx sounds so weird to me. What was wrong with the old ones?

[illy]

the ship XP can be seen in the Equipment tab

This is why I dared to try the calm seas mod again.

it's fixed now tho

11. Disconnects from battles are also back, with lag spikes.

 

 

btw, all you who do not like new sound effects in the game (like incoming fire shell hits) you can turn them off in the audio settings under ''Damage Volume''.

Nothing, that's why they changed it.

12. Replays of CV games are broken (ship positions on mini map, HP bars).

 

Talking replays: if you wanna watch a replay while being offline, the first double click will open GC, which then tries to connect to the net forever. Another double click on the replay file will then start the replay.

 

Seeing that a lot of WoWs content on YT consists of replays, WG cares only little about this marketing tool. For the past 5 years I tried to figure out this ignorance.

[invicta2012]

On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with Tallinn. Especially in that Soviet camo. Mmh-hm.

I had an FPS capped at 75, with the highest setting in the previous patch. Now it drops even below 30, with the same 1440p resolution. I appreciate any graphics improvement, but this one seems to be not optimized at all.

yeah, same for me, i was able to get around 40 (i know, it's not 60, but it's okay, also fun fact: movies are framed at 24 fps), now it's at around 25. With the fixed minimal waves mod i get 2 or 3 fps back but the worst part is that i didn't changed my settings nor mods, they remained the same from 0.9.5 to 0.9.6 (of course updated mods) yet, 15 less fps. It's not unplayable (i actually was able to get around 1.4 milion potential in Shchors in Tier 9 MM playing at 25 fps), but still, it's the complete opposite of an improvement

[Miscommunication_dept]

I had to marginally dial back settings to retain my 60hz Vsync rate.

 

That said, I am playing 1440p now and it's a big step up froma few months ago when i played at 720p and 30fps!

 

Still, I'm quite sure why game makers make tiny graphics improvements that cost so many system resources.

A half baked cake perhaps but their secret ingredient we all know by now, Greed.

I really hope that someone from wg will see this thread and respond.
