Ships II Dresden, II Emden, III G-101, IV Karlsruhe, III Kolberg, III König Albert, III Nassau, II V-25, and IV V-170 now have Kaiserliche Marine flag mounted as their national flag, because these ships belong to the period when this flag was historically used. This flag is also mounted on Early Access ships III Von der Tann, IV Moltke, V Derfflinger, and VI Mackensen.

@YabbaCoe is there a reason T4 Kaiser, T5 König, and T6 Bayern are excluded? All three ships were scuttled at Scapa Flow after WW1, as part of the Hochseeflotte.

So, those are not included, because all those ships are in the game but with probable interwar refit

remove subs from ranked at least.

you had co-op and ranked, now let ranked be without and have co-op and random.

 

Why?  they work better in ranked than they ever did in co-op (by far the mode that they are least suited for) .Anyway - time for Random player to suffer subs and get a taste of the crappiness that Co-op and ranked players have been dealing with.

 

As for the rest of the update I can only think Meh!!   - not interested in hardly anything being put into 10.9 - it just reeks of sterility of creativity and regurgitation of spent ideas

 

Changes to the community tokens absolutely suck (that's the second time now I've got close to being able to get a target ship and then not being able to get due to  changes in an update). Actually why have community tokens anyway - it's not as if there's that much of community left anyway after the way things have gone down. If it was done to stop ppl exploiting the doubloon rebate with the crates.,  just change the way the crates work - you get a ship that you don't have and if you have they all already  just give a number of camo's but make it clear 

 

As for German BC's Played the Molke  and not that fussed i, it just looks like yet another meaningless grind.

 

Time to take a holiday from WoWs

They are part of naval warfare the same as any other type. Don't like them, don't play at all

I am jealous, genuinely, of the current love you have for this game, of the direction its heading, and of the confidence with which you usually express these things.

 

Without being disrespectful, I don't think it is helpful to say, "Don't like [submarines], don't play [the game] at all". 

 

Perhaps some players do have a lot fun pressing "G" in Co-op, like the spreadsheet says, but subs are no fun in Co-op, really, to me.

 

I can't see them being a fun addition to random battles, either.

 

To suggest players should not play the game because they don't like subs is not the most convincing of arguments and is, well, a bit like  chucking the baby out with the bath water. I say that on the basis that you were commenting in good faith.

 

Anyway, I am looking forward to the German battlecruisers.

dont take serious your lesson wg ,subs in random and again heloween?time to quit tha game again

Homing torps are a big mistake. Will be like an early days with CV rework, which was a serious mess.

Thought so. When do we get the proper ships back (former A-hulls)?

CT has been nerfed too. Either a SC for the full prize of 6k CT ( if you have ships left from the drop pools rather take your chances with the 3 types of recruitment containers) or 3 specific ships..

 

 IV Ishizuchi for  10,000 Community Tokens.

 V Exeter for  15,000 Community Tokens. 

 VII Leningrad for  20,000 Community Tokens

 

Before the random T7 was triple the price of the random T5.  Value wise they are now much closer (2800 vs 4300 vs 5550) but compared to the old 10K CT the reward was better then the fixed value of the Ishizuchi.

 

IMO WG not only killed the doubloon trick with CT, they also nerfed the overall reward value fast.

As for the rewards from the German BC. T3-T7 for free ( if you sacrifice enough free time) and only the T7 perm camo. A bit cheap compared to other intro events..Atleast throw in the T8 perm camo ( can be an ugly one, ship cannot be made less ugly anyway)

 

On the plus-side: Dont forget the one day premium and 125 CT tokens hidden in the news.

 

 

WeeGee has quickly burried her own creation of Community Tokens for free as their value in the beginning was too high.....

 

Now it is just another resource to get something cheap, but without hardly any value.

Guys, forget WG apology, which was clearly a miscommunication .

And dont stop playing this game, if you like it at least a little. Just dont give them any money, thats what will hurt them.

I am ingame sometimes angry, even toxic yes (who doesnt), but in last 2 years I give WG no money, but collect many many free gifts they offer. When they try to milk you, milk them.

Maybe a compromise?

 

Just let us choose the flag we would like to hoist on these ships, like some of the EU DDs can choose between the European and a respective national flag.

 

That would be great.

Thanks for checking. I must say that's unfortunate, especially since the refits are fictional.

[ZaalKoris_vas_QwibQwib]

Let's have classic anime meme to describe the situation.

 

 

How to kill the event:

1. Loot boxes

2. More loot boxes.

3. If in doubt add more loot boxes.

 

I'm frankly amazed that SovCV event was quite 'tame' in term of RNG. Probably simply to cater for Russian audience without another potential Russian Revolution. Now this is over let's go back to business. So WG going as low as it can. Monetization of T3. It's a first and you're only 2 levels away from what I predicted months ago - T1 loot boxes.

 

I was muchos pumped for this, but it seems there is 0 ships obtainable via some in game mission grind like with Dutchies Celebes and Eendracht. So that's end of the event. I'm not daft to buy T3/4, FXP it is then.

 

People will love subs in Random. Just watch stats plummet. I have somewhere screenshot from my last moment of last day before CV rework went live and I left for a year. There was less than 11k players at peak time when normally it would be ~30k. This will be the same I hope. 

 

Oh and glorious changes with Community Tokens. What was the point of them anyway? I have suggestion: set the prices even higher because obviously Ishizuchi is worth at lest 500k CT (I have all of the ships so those changes blow me).

 

 

[KiLLeR_GR3]

subs, the worse thing you ever done.you cant defend your ship you cant see them and  relly sonar torps??? next missles with GPS.why not.no money for you again 20 days premium and after  maybe i unistall all this 

 

[lmperial_Japanese_Navy]

literally 0 content for Japan.

[mg106]

O boy submarines, exactly what the game needed (insert sarcasm)

 

Furthermore, no re-spec or re-upgrade to prepare your ship to fight submarines? Feels like a classic FU WOWs update -_-

[I_use_torpedoes]

Had some free time after work, so I wanted to play a few battles as I usually do to relax. Openend the game center but then I remembered subs in random are now a thing. I closed the game center again and played some gacha game instead. Sorry to say, but with the latest updates your game got worse and worse, subs are just the cherry on top that made me finally not want to play the game.

I'll check in later after the testing phase is over.

“We will never add submarines to WoWs!

 leave them in convoy or coop ...

homing torps big fail !

[CV_SUB_Report_Blacklist]

thank you for changing ranked maps , needed this .

[Quazie]

Typical WG, subs in Randoms when 90% of players don't want them, talk about sucking up the prat at the top that insists on them.

How much Vodka was consumed in making that decision, half a crate.

 

You really, Really don't listen do you, so much for your push to do better, lasted what ... a few days.

[pittrivers]

Utterly ruined the game for me....As i have mentioned in an earlier post, if the subs enter random, i'm off.....

sooooooooooo, Bye Bye WG

Wouldn't hurt tho to make them atleast optional?

[Staines_upon_Thames]

I love pressing G in random now.

First, we're going to add anti-submarine weapons on all Tier V–X cruisers and battleships in Update 0.10.9, except for Dutch cruisers and hybrids.

Quote

Anti-Submarine Aircraft Modification 1 upgrade (4th slot)

• Renamed Airstrike Modification 1.
• Added for all Tier V–X battleships, researchable Tier V–X Dutch cruisers, and VIII De Zeven Provinciën.

Does this mean every ship that didn't have depth charges now gets them, except Dutch cruisers get an ASW airstrike instead? Or does that mod only buff the HE-bombers?

As I understand it, all BBs that did not have ASW yet will get the ASW airstrike. Dutch ships will have the regular HE airstrike AND will receive the ASW airtstrike as well. The mod buffs both airtrikes on the Dutch cruisers.

Then I misunderstood. Ty for correcting me. Guess we will have to wait and see a few days.
