What's next? A hybrid submarine with an aircraft catapult?

Well - Japan had the I-400 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-400-class_submarine

 

Maybe we could see the danish fregate of Absalon class in the game and call them helicopter carrier - capacity 2 helo  

[Hanse77SWE]

Two things I would love to see in the game.

 

1: Removal of the Report/Karma-system. (It has no value at all.)

2: The ability to set economic bonuses to "Stay mounted" or "Just one game". (As it is right now I have to go back after each battle and demount manually, annoying and time consuming.)

A Hybrid Destroyer

Halford, one of the Fletcher-class destroyers, will be released for closed testing. Her primary feature is the availability of an aircraft catapult. She will be the first hybrid destroyer in our game.

Time to stop playing the game ...

talk about saying what im told to say 

 

Next up hybrid ship ...No thanks more air power No thanks 

 

More SUBS ...Errr no thanks  the more i encounter SUBS the more i know they aren't ready for the game ... 

 

SO the future of the game looks like WAR THUNDER

The bug where shells fly over target or fell short not fixed.

When you think about how to express your displeasure, but someone has already found the solution and most likely the truth. Thank you.

what's broken about our matchmaker in your opinion?

 

[Heida03]

Repeated Battle Entry With the Same Ship
We're working on an improvement that will allow players to enter a new battle with a ship that was just destroyed without having to wait till the previous battle concludes. This way, you'll be able to fight more battles playing your favorite ship during a game session. This option should help speed up your game progress on your favorite ships.

 

Pls don't do this.... people will abuse this and  will grind their techtree ship by simply yolo in and die,  leave the match, start a new match with the same ship, yolo in and so on. This will be awful.

[Hugh_Ruka]

I tried to watch the video ... gave up 20 seconds into the kids presentation. It was unwatchable ...

[lmperial_Japanese_Navy]

Talking of unique upgrades, is not it time that the Zao unique upgrade recieve some changes so it is actually become ''unique'' and not just a copy paste from the Moskva's upgrade while also being worse because it doesn't even provide -20% turret traverse speed ?!

 

 

Additionally, this upgrade is pretty weak, why ? Because Zao's guns are already very accurate even at long range, so it buffs the area where the ship is already decent.

 

Also this upgrade is in the sixth sloth meaning you have to give up the gun FCS modification 2 which gives you +16% more firing range (18.8 km firing range) so if you replace this with the ''Improved bridge'' which only provides +8% more firing range (17.5 km firing range) and somewhat improved gun depression for already accurate guns ? I don't think this upgrade is any useful to be honest and totally not worth giving up the 16% more firing range, or you ended up having even less firing range than the light cruiser Yodo's 18 km...

 

I would suggest to rework Zao's unique upgrade which actually buff the area where the Zao is actually weak, like turret rotation speed, firing range (more than just +8%), better rate of firing or  significantly more HP !

• minefields are bad
• hybrid DD is bad, that is like bringing a passenger ship/rowboat line with a consumable that carpet bombs large parts of the map
• no suprise that the next RU Supership is a Petro-Clone
• airship escort should stay a separate game mode for specific times (for example: prime time every second weekend)

GAWD !!! I agree with Pete here on all points and with no objections !!! That's a new low for WG ...

[Praetorias]

You’re sick of the moronic direction the game is taking, another game ruining arcady carrier, another flippin hybrid rubbish ship but in a dd, bored rigid of constant planes….., putting another stupid game mode onto the random games (quit out each time), more OP game breaking supership crap (refuse to bother trying in these matches),

 

WELL YOU NOW KNOW WHY AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO, THEY HAVE 12 YEAR OLDS WORKING AND MAKING DECISIONS AT WG,
 

Speaks volumes…. Says it all really! 

[SmegTheNoob]

That video was hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

Where did you get those two presenters from?

 

Nobody wants Airship Escort in Random Battles.

Nobody wants stupid mine and smoke laying CV's.

Nobody wants a DD with a plane lol.

Nobody wants a Petro class Supership.

Nobody wants a Conqueror class Supership.

 

But most of all. THE MAJORITY DO NOT WANT SUBMARINES IN THIS GAME.

[Psticide]

is wargaming seriously just using interns only now to save costs , cause no whale who gambles all ur gambling mechanics will be able to relate to these poor kids thrown to us wolves who see right through this. So the gamedev team at this point all the adults have moved on or didnt move with wg to their new officers and all thats left is young interns ... 

 

thats the message ur sending, that message is loudly received combined with the silly descriptions and just extremely stupid new cv stuff and adding a mode to randoms that is not ballanced for all classes, and whales will draw their conclusions where to spend their money next.

 

this was a dreadfull presentation and outlook for 2023 and once again ill invest my hard earned cash in a game thats not about to fall of a giant cliff if they proceed like this allowing people suicide yolo their ships even if its still in another battle ... 

[DeletedUser]

Will WoWs will be more than a platform to sell ships? Gameplay sucks, many bugs etc. I think not. Anyway won't play any game released by this company.

T9 ships are dead. How fun is it to get into a battle with  5 superships and 1 of them is a cv , plus a couple of submarines and the rest is T10. only 1 or 2 T9

I have all the released T11 but I don't play them same with subs. All types: ss,  subs and cv:s gets bad karma from  most players.

I think the mm system  sense what skills I have on the commander and what kind of signals and other goodies that I have mounted. The more I have harder to get god battles. The same when you enter a battle as a division.

Having second thoughts about this game.

@Seraphice so you are giving us new CVs to lay smoke and mines that we already have said we dont want is that true ?? and if it is thanks for NOT listening to the playerbase because it just means that no matter how many times you/WG say we listen to the players it just shows again and again that you/WG dont and you actually gives a s*** about our opinion

But they do listen ... they just smile, shake their heads and forget what they've heard rather quickly ... as that's not the katching of their bank account increasing ...

The game does not account for player skill when matching the teams - this has been the case since the game's launch and there are no plans to change this, that is why it is random battles - random players.

It is still more profitable to try to fight out a match as best you can to increase your xp gained, than compared to spamming games and dying quickly. Nonetheless we will monitor whether this kind of behavior becomes more common.

The request to introduce support CVs has actually been floated by the community for a while since the CV rework - especially CVs with the ability to e.g. drop an aerial smoke screen. I even recall reading a lot of those comments before I joined Wargaming.

Then it will be nice if every ship with attack planes capacity weather its a dd, ca or bb are categorized as CVA (auxciliary carrier or escort carrier) and count as CV so there will still only be 2 CV on each team. Its very anoying to be on a team with 1 cv and the opponent have a 3 ship div with hybrid bb's AND a cv.

And i dont belive more than 1% player have requested support cv's - the rest must be in you fantasy like subs.

 

And i still wonder why its possible to have 3-4 subs on each team, just because thery are in divs ???
