Stun bombs..... can be April fools joke?

[Andrewbassg]

So....I had a  discussion with ex forumite Beastofwar :) and he coined this possibility. Now tbh, if we think about a bit... it is a real possibility. The devblog is kinda vague. The whole thing is kinda over the top. I mean planes which launch smoke screen and chaff, lolz, not to mention the stun thingy.... idk, but it sounds like a legit possibility

imho: for an April fools joke I'd expect more details, pictures and so on...

WeeGee don't do April's fools anymore. They stopped giving a sh*t. They might give us an earlier mode slightly changed and boom. 0 work, something new.

All of that could come on da day. I mean.... they announced an upcoming Cv split with Yorktown and on top that yet another kind of Cv? Hmm...I kinda see 50% chance as this being a joke.

Well...we got Habakukk last year ( I think?) right? Otherwise I'm not disputing...

After stun bombs, it makes me wonder how ridiculous this year's April Fool's is going to be.

It's not an April fool if they announce it a week early, they are 100% going to try this, whether it makes it to live is a different matter.

The idea of stun bombs is too much of a bad idea for it to be a joke.

 

WG dont have such a developed sense of humour, they do however have such a tendency towards bad ideas.

Yeah, but........they can't be that retarded..... I mean as bad homing torps are i can see the reasoning. As much bad is using DCP for defeating pings is i can see reasons behind.

 

But I just can see any reasoning behind this. it is just completely mindless.

[GarrusBrutus]

Arent there already stun mechanics in WoT? If so, its 100% guaranteed coming to wows as well at some point.

[DBM82_KRKA]

Maybe we should ask that Sub_octavian guy to get back.....idk

It looks like the usual WG story to me.

 

Somebody comes up with the idea of support carriers in a meeting, somebody else is tasked with making it a reality, and because nobody at WG can turn around and say "this is a really dumb idea, there's no way I can make it work", they have to come up with something - anything - that meets the brief, no matter how idiotic or how badly it fits into the rest of the game.

 

On the plus side, WG probably don't have too much invested in this, so they can drop it if/when testing reveals it to be as unworkable as we think it is, although knowing WG they've probably spent vast sums developing T5/7/9 CV in anticipation, so possibly not.

cunning stunt more like

I would definitely believe every word of an April 1st WoWs devblog entry about Necro class ships which can raise sunken ships and make them attack to their own team or the Chronosphere device from Red Alert where players will be able to teleport their ships to wherever they desire on the map. After homing torps mechanic and the announcement of chaff and stun bombs, WG is already beyond that line.

Yeah I know "how stuff works" but .......is just retarded. Anyway we will gonna know soon enough

You are opetating on an assumption this is not one of his parting gifts…

[Northern_Nightowl]

I know the purpose of the stun bombs. They are made to pave the way for gay bombs.

It might just be me but there does seem an odd urgency within WG of late, super ships, subs and now support CVs. 
 

Sadly I really believe they are that foolhardy to just Keep banging out anything no matter what without the slightest thought put into it.

They aren't April fools. WG already hinted at those possibilities when they in the beginning of the CV rework announced their ideas on what they would do In the future with the removed CVs

 

Also remember, the DevBlog says it's an early concept test. They are not going to introduce anything like they written in the DevBlog live. it will be tested and changed until its live multiple times

Every Devblog since 2019 has been a Aprils fools joke. Problem is you don't see ANYONE laughing.........

 

And "Over the top" and flying smokescreens is just breakfast for WeeGee

Desperation setting in?

 

Are they seeing their oldest and most valuable customers walk away, and are they trying to retain/replace them with ever more extreme measures.

 

It doesn't look like the game's in a good place, does it?

• Waaaay too early  for that to be an April Fool's
• Stun-Mechanic already exists in another WG title (WoT)
• It would be incredibly stupid to come up with an April Fool's joke that you know could well upset a significant and above all loud section of the community.
• In many ways, the proposal is NOT over the top enough to be April Fool's.

This is the real April's Fools joke :
