[Steevo]

Great, hopefully we will get the translated patch notes soon

[YukiEiriKun]

Oh dear. Oh dear.

I have been able to resist premship spending (well, except the pre-order trio and Murmansk which is like ... half of the available prems ... such resistance) but I kinda want both of these.. :3

Well, I m trying to give Yubari back and get a refund, is crap now with the crits it gets.

 

And let s hope they fix the hated MM for CV s in this patch too.

Wait, we are getting another Omaha? The Cincinnati is an Omaha right? Also I wonder if that Sakura is going to be a Matsu class. Well, more ships for the home port is never a bad thing. Now I just wish I had the money

Well, I could do it with the little Russian I know and Google Translate, but then WG should pay me.

Diana, Cincinnati and Marblehead are all Omaha class cruisers while Aurora was the last Pallada-class cruiser E.: Actually Diana is a Pallada-class as well, not an Omaha

Soo,

4 Re-skins

Well, it's not difficult to just Copy paste in to google translate. Sure it is not 100% accurate, but it can give a little bit of information.

[blinkster]

Nothing interesting just a bunch of fixes.

[Steevo]

Yeah but I prefer to wait for the official translation, since reading it won't keep me guessing at what some of the translators oddity's and grammar is trying to come up with

And this, rofl: "Reload time for dual purpose guns on Mutsuki (top artillery) has been increased." LOL.

[Naskoni]

Mostly low tier premiums obviously aimed at completely new players (understandable) and a few map changes (removing invisible walls) and small bugs. Nothing particularly important.

Release Notes

Main Changes

High-tier premium ships have been added to the game:

Tier VIII Japanese cruiser Atago

Tier VII American cruiser Atlanta

 

Maps

Changed map loading screen image.

Fixed invisible barriers on some maps.

Fixed visual artefacts on Two Brothers and Hot Spot maps.

Fixed incorrect effects of shells when fired at some particular parts of the island on Islands map.

 

Ships

Following ships are added for testing purposes and are not available for purchase. However, they can be encountered in battle:

Diana - Protected cruiser with united main caliber artillery and multiple secondary guns. It was designed to become an "exterminator of trades", out-performing foreign analogues by characteristics. Delayed building caused the ships of this class to underperform against most of the ships of their type by ammunition and speed by the time they were heaved off.
Pallada - Classic protected cruiser of the end of XIX - early XX centuries. Had rather good main caliber guns for its time and multiple secondary guns. Vital parts of the ship were protected by a bevelled armour deck.
Marblehead - Fast scout-cruiser with torpedoes and strong artillery. She also had aviation equipment on board. Marblehead differed from other ships of her class by location of main caliber guns.
Cincinnati - Strong and very fast light cruiser for her time. Besides multiple quick-fire artillery, she had strong torpedoes and decent AA guns. She was also was equipped to launch scout planes.
Tachibana - Small and relatively fast destroyer. For her size, she had rather powerful torpedo equipment. Her artillery consisted of a few quick-fire small caliber guns.
Sakura - First destroyer that was fully designed in Japan. For her time, she had decent speed and torpedo equipment. Her artillery consisted of a few quick-fire small caliber guns.
Mikasa - Best ironclad warship of the Japanese Navy for the Russian-Japanese war period. It was very well-balanced and had very good ammunition, armour and speed characteristics for her time. However, she was rather out-performed by most of the later battleships-dreadnoughts.

Reload time for dual purpose guns on Mutsuki (top artillery) has been increased.

 

Effects

Fixed the incorrect display of the smoke from enemy ships funnels.

Fixed the error leading to the incorrect animation of the squadron take-off in case of aircraft carrier destruction.

Fixed the error leading to increase in the water details when the camera zooms out from the ship.

Fixed the flashing of the tracer at low and medium graphics settings.

 

Interfaces

Fixed the error which in some cases led to the display of the incorrect system message of rejection of the invite to battle for the division.

Fixed the error which led to the incorrect display of messages when the modules have been critically damaged.

Fixed the error which led to not displaying the message that modernisation dismantling can be carried out with doubloons.

Fixed the error in the text messages display in the game.

 

Other

Fixed the error which causes the client to crash when opening the chat channel.

Fixed the error which causes the client to crash when entering battle.

Fixed the error which incorrectly sets some graphics settings when auto-detecting the quality for the low configurations computers.

Map choice probability on the server settings have been changed slightly.

Fixed the error which leads to ships staying in battle infinitely.

Fixed error of battle not finishing when bases are captured simultaneously in Standard battle mode.

Fixed issue where fly-off icons are not displayed after damaging AA systems of Soviet and British ships.

Mutsuki will be so OP noww... the new Gearing. ))

[EvilBob]

 

Mikasa - Looking like we are get another British ship in the game....... 

 

[VonNorwegen]

A litle bit disapointing.

[ZeFeKa]

You know WG, it's more probably ROF increase than reload.

[Armo1000]

Wait so who gets to test the new ships then if you can't buy them?

[caldark]

"Following ships are added for testing purposes and are not available for purchase. However, they can be encountered in battle"

 

How can you encounter them if people cant buy them ?

 

[Bl4ckh0g]

Wait so who gets to test the new ships then if you can't buy them?

 

They will be distributed to loyal servants of SerB

[Kirasa]

Like with the Taihou and HIA in the CBT most likely players who are known for playing those classes.

[Armo1000]

So what like supertesters?

[echoco]

Sakura is going to be similar layout to Isokaze.

Tachibana could be the other ship of the Sakura class or a 1944 27kts small destroyer, similar to US DE.

[YukiEiriKun]

Well, I m trying to give Yubari back and get a refund, is crap now with the crits it gets.

And let s hope they fix the hated MM for CV s in this patch too.

 

There's nothing wrong with Yubari as far as I am concerned:

 

 

 

...

OK! Those were a "bit" bloated numbers. Here's the team score:

 

 

 

I've managed to pull average xp of 1009 with here and taking in consideration that she is an LIGHT cruiser and I tend to herp-derp alot, that in my books gives her a very good performance rating.

 

And what comes to the MM and CV's:

Nobody thinks the task that poor MM is faced with. There are usually 150 something BB's in the queue, 20-30 CA's and what, 1-2 CV's? (well I might be pulling these out of my bum but)

IF those darned CV's would be so OP, would there not be statpadders flocking to pad some stats with them?

Or could it be that those things are darn tought to master and people who are playing them are the best?

 

So what can you do? "MAEK MM PUT SAME NUMBR OF CV'S TO BATTLE"

Well it tries. But then there's that time limit after which MM just gives up and shoves CV's where ever.

 

Two weeks into OBT. Deal with it.

Not just supertester, any filthy peasant who pleased the Soviet God of Fortune (A.K.A. RNJesus) can receive His grace and get his filthy hands on the glorious gifts of the Gods
