[Takeda92]

Thanks to NA forum's TheSeeker and IKU19 for making this changelog from the 0.5.1 PT server game files.

The thread is still being updated so make sure to check it out every now and then.

All of the Japanese plane torpedoes have had their arming time increased and speed reduced.

 

Oh for the love of God! Weren't you suppose to reduce the spread, but instead you nerf the IJN CVs still further.

On the other hand -  Japanese plane torpedoes go twice as far.

 

Looks like they do not know what to do with them?

 

Plus points.

 

Izyaslav is more manoeuvrable.

Derzky has a maneuveraiblity increase, and Kiev has an AA change.

Karlsruhe's arc is slightly adjusted (lower/higher?) and her shell Krupp value has an increase of 500-ish.

Nikolai I is 10% faster (not available to us yet but I will say this will make from a reasonable ship to a good ship)

Atago's rudder shift has been reduced to 10 seconds. (will help those new players from hitting so many islands )

They can go all they way to the end of the world for all I care, a cruiser will be able to outrun them.

This is a "$§%/&(   joke right? Well, another few weeks with my Taiho rusting in my port then.

I like the changes. Longer arming times is good. This with the cruiser change to defensive fire seems in line and fair...

 

CVs still overpowered a little so good. 

 

but wait what about us high tier carriers??

[Makoniel]

They got their DB buffed and torpedo spread unchanged.  ...Damm'it!!!

Oh they know, but the inversed spread was delayed and won't join the 5.1 live patch as expected. So without it the changes are simply nerf, big one. IJN CVs were good aat hunting DDs and CAs, because of the fast (and fast arming) torps. Now they can't do that anymore (changed because of whine ofc), but in the same time without the inversed spread they can't hunt BBs either. So if the patch goes live in this form they become burden to the team if there is USN CV (high tiers) in the enemy team.

In the selected few hands, the rest of us aren't super-skilled-mofos.

[Niibler]

DD's life will get a bit harder with:

- Vigilance now increases your torpedo acquisition range by 25% (was 20% )

- All ships will have the Hydroacustic consumable.

 

[Admiral_noodle]

Hmm. Not sure nerfing dds again is a good idea.

 

We now have two threads on this.

[Vulgarny]

Oh well It was fun Hakuryuu, specially when you had boob job with 5 tb, now time for new girlfriend Midway. She got boob and nice [edited]

[fnord_disc]

Let us not forget: even a converging torpedo drop is utterly pointless if the torpedoes are slow. The torpedoes won't converge only 300 meters from the drop point - they will converge 500-1000 meters from the drop point, because you know WG. Good luck hitting anything from 1000m with 35kn torpedoes.

 

It's time to just not play carriers or destroyers anymore.

[netc0rd]

Some US 203mm shells have had their ricochet angle reduced from 45-60 degrees to 60-67.5 degrees.

 

EDIT:

Can someone explain this to a retard?

[Unintentional_submarine]

Some US 203mm shells have had their ricochet angle reduced from 45-60 degrees to 60-67.5 degrees.

 

Umm? So before patch, when I shot at a broadside with my CA and the enemy was angled at 61 degrees or greater, it would've been a ricochet? Now the degree range is wider? (I can hit a broadside angled all the way up to 67,5 degrees?) The sentence above is written really dubiously, so could anyone care to explain? 

 

That is essentially it yes. The US 203mm shells can now penetrate at a steeper angle, which is very good indeed.

 

Overall, dumbfounded by the IJN CV changes. So they are supposed to come with the converging spread, so why not pull these things until it is ready? The implementation of it has been pushed back time and again, who is to say it won't happen again... and again... while these changes will remain in the game.

 

And where are the Midway nerfs? The actual changes that were needed...

[Sharana]

 Edit 4: All ships have an increased flooding damage rate. (direct value is "floodProb" went in most cases from 0.500 to 0.580, to the extreme case of Midway which went from 0.125 to 0.433)-- meaning flooding does more damage now.

Every single patch=>Frustration.

 

I m within a clan that counted 200+ players at its best. The last 1 month half were gone (AW and other games) and 25% are seriously reducing gameplay time and certainly coining...

 

Way to go WG! Good job.

 

PS: Please postpone the clan war and division ranked battles, to make sure no one plays your game by the end of next year. kiss

 The flooding for plane torpedoes has been reduced to half

 

 

[Vulgarny]

Flooding dmg was buffed, flooding chance caused by torps from TB nerfed

[fnord_disc]

It has to be pointed out that the increased arming time is offset by the lower speed, so the distance from the ship is similar

 

41kn * 3s = 123 kn*s

35kn * 3.5s = 122.5 kn*s

 

You can convert this linearly to distance in meters yourself, but the gist is that the arming distance is the same. The torpedoes are just slower passing through it.

 

 root.PJAB003_Aichi_B7A.escortPlaneFollowDistance changed in second object (was 30, is 10) root.PJAB003_Aichi_B7A.bombingAttackPointDistance changed in second object (was 55.0, is 40.0) root.PJAB003_Aichi_B7A.stormingAuraCoeff changed in second object (was 1.5, is 6.0) root.PJAB003_Aichi_B7A.bombingStartPointDistance changed in second object (was 69.0, is 94.0)

 

Can someone explain these variables to me?

 

I assume the first variable is the distance that fighters follow my bombers. The third is probably an AA fire inaccuracy buff/nerf, but what are #2 and #4?

[Unintentional_submarine]

 

 

 

I'm unsure as to what the means in this case, agreement with me and just regular trollface, or trollface at me not noticing that Midway has indeed been nerfed?

 

In case it is the latter (though I feel reasonably sure it isn't the case), I'm pretty sure most Midways will be bothered by this. So torpedo attacks are somewhat more lethal, so what? Doesn't really change that she can anvil destroyers like an IJN CV, and also dominate the damage game. Heh... reading that I'm very sure I just got trolled in a regular way.

 

Regardless, what happened? It seems to me that there is a process where the right hand doesn't talk to the left hand. Still, it is much better than no communication of these things (though the old 0.3.1 USN DD RoF 'nerfs' still ranks as one of the most silly things).

[Sharana]

The trollface is for the CV hater and whiner community. Small nerf to Midway was promised and here it is. Won't affect it's nuking power so they can keep on whining

The perfect situation! A nerf and can still complain! AWESOME!

Despite the fact that CVs in the current form are simply stupid, this is not trolling shitters or tomatoes. Seriously Sharana, as ST you should have enough comprehension for this. CVs are literally WoT´s arty all over again, but this time even worse. Arties can´t scout nor does it have the reliability/accuracy of CVs. They share the same problems, extreme high alpha strikes anywhere at the map and the victim is helpless about it. This is just the gameplay side, not talkin about the fact that some of them are just disgustingly OP.
