Nice to see that we can obtain T8 perma camo for Italian DD for free. But where are new ships or perma camos for community tokens??

[ColonelPete]

I still do not think that some RM DD have enough gun range.

[S_h_i_v_a]

No range? not interested.

spammers loves long range ,,,

 

i love how low range this dds has ,,,  looking forward to play them .

 

it would be nice to disappear instantly after killing nearby dd ... increased firing range means you have to wait about 20 seconds to go dark :D

 

i played 1 battle in savages in public test , it was so nice and enjoying mode .

 

btw thanks for 2 days prem account for reading the article ^_^

It is not about long range. It is about having enough range to shoot at enemies that spot your ship...

By getting to your concealment range...

[BruceRKF]

I'm just happy that we get a line with mostly historical ships. Only two of nine did not exist, and of those one was at least planned (tier 8). Only the tier 9 is a WG fabriction, and even that can be argued as a "what-if the Italians had decided to built a Tashkent for themselves". Would have loved to see the Comandanti Medaglie d'Oro somewhere in there, but it could have been worse. Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether they are good or not, they look good and are mostly historical, so they have my approval. It's just a nice respite from all the other crap that is going on in WoWs (mostly subs and tier 11).

Yes, you are wrong. Some RM DD have a shorter gun range than their concealment range...

[gnist0s]

Are you mad WEEGEE - do you rearly try to roll out this disaster.

All 3 rounds on PTS showed the update is so buggy its nearly impossible to play because of freeze and CTD.

 

Just look here:

 

 

Be prepared - fear the worst.

IIRC T2 Mikasa has a worse detection range than it main guns.

Though stealth, and the main guns for that matter, is of secondary importance with that.

But yeah, it's not common.

Every single of the new Italian tech tree destroyers up to tier 7 has a lower gun range than concealment with the stock range module, for example.

Also, you know it's possible to turn off bold letters?

What is the reason behind the spotting range changes? Seems incredible complication for very little gain/point

The correct voiceover messages are now played for the following Commanders: Baltimore, Jean Bart, Roon, Yat Sen, Sovetskaya Rossiya, and Littorio when a ship’s Fighter or Spotting Aircraft is destroyed.

What's a Yat Sen ???

WeeGee are you sure times in the information is correct - you know Europe are going into summertime (daylight saving time) 27. march 0200 and then CET will be UTC +2, and not UTC +1

If anyone is wondering about this spotting range change... remember commander "rework". Now it cost a ton more to get commander to elite level and the skills were reworked to cost us more points for same effect. This spotting thing will probably force us to do module replacement / skill remastering, meaning pay up in dubloons or cxp.

Another change that nobody asked for and wasn't needed.

Like the "new and improved" CV spotting we're about to get.

Changes like this are often in preparation for future community torture plans. Probably has to do with Subs and spotting or something else. Look at the removal of friendly fire. It didn't make much sense at that time but then, shortly after, they started to pump out more BBs with long range torps that the average fruit usually launches from second or third row. Homing torps on Subs that cross the way of allied ships, and so on. Suddenly there are a ton more steel fish in the water that could kill your own team so WG prepared for this beforehand. Just wait a bit and see what crazy shenanigans WG comes up with that required these spotting changes.

Update - also what @GoneFishingAgain mentioned is true about the commander skill rework, which true intention nobody understood at that time and was yet another screw over for the players.

An Azur Lane commander of pan asian cruiser Yat Sen.

 

One of the few original ships of its size to come out of China.
