0.5.1 HYPE (5th or 6th November?)

[Fi_8_8_8_8]

Greetings,

as you can see, the US is getting the patch tomorrow while the Russian server is receiving it on the 6th..
So we will probably get it on the 7th??

Wait..we are EU..maybe on the 11th in a nice bundle with flags and some more useful doubloons. Yaye 

Seriously can't wait though 

[Kenliero]

Yep, most likely we will get updated before Christmas if we buy flags with it.... But certainly it is "coming soon" without any payment, just like unified gold... was... sorta... kinda... let's ignore this for now and focus on this bundle which is right here, right now...  So FOR NOW, it is in bundle... and you can read about it, soon... in some hidden developer corner of the NA forums, not here... so stay tuned!

[OlFson]

Fi & Ken, dont give them ideas, but thx, I laughed out loud.

It's coming on friday (6th of november). Just like in WoT, EU gets the patch 1 day after...

Just like we'll get news of the patch one day after it happens, and patch notes, maybe, one day after that delayed news...

Well, I look at it this way: If there is something wrong with the patch. RU and NA will have to play like that, and test for other stuff that might be wrong, while we get a patch that has nothing wrong with it as WG will probably fix that certain problem before its released here

[Sailor_Bear]

If I recall correctly, there`s gonna be a server downtime in a day or two for the EU server. Due to "maintenance". Probably the new patch

 

Forgot the exact date sory.

Already happened it WoT and I thought WG had decided not to do patches on Thursday/Friday for that reason...

 

Besides, a patch with nothing wrong?

Sooo... Anyone know what to do with Battleship captain skills (I'm looking at you Advance Fire Training)?

 

http://worldofwarships.asia/en/news/announcements/ver-051-patchnotes/

 

According to these notes the following captain skills change:

 

• Expert Loader: used to be -30% to reload time; now -50% to reload time
• Torpedo Armament Expertise: used to be -10% to servicing time of torpedo bombers; now -20% to servicing time of torpedo bombers. The reload time of torpedo tubes remains unchanged.
• Vigilance: used to be +20% to acquisition range of torpedoes; now +25% to acquisition range of torpedoes.
• Dogfighting Expert: Performance of aircraft now depends on the difference in their Tiers, not on their speed.
• Jack of All Trades: -15% to reload time of all consumables.
• Advanced Firing Training: small-calibre armaments now only include guns with a calibre of 139 mm and lower.
• Last Chance: used to be -9% to the reload time of all types of armaments if the ship's HP was less than 20% - now it is -30% to reload time of all types of armament if the ship's HP is less than 10%

 

On thet plus side we get to redo our skills for free.

OK so it all looks great, video could be improved somewhat though.....

 

Dasha in a USSR Naval themed Bikini would improve the video massively

 

Think it's going to be a good patch, lots of content and finally the line hugging fix we have been waiting for !!!

BB players won't see any change in how AFT works for them.

The ONLY ones affected are CL players with their Main guns (and ONLY those, not their secondaries or their AA)

[WhoopieMonster]

Kirasa, how did you come to that conclusion? There are plenty of BBs that have 155mm secondary guns. Or am I missing something?

[Kirasa]

Because the change only targets MAIN Guns, not secondaries. Those still get their flat 20% buff.

As tested on the PT first round.

• Advanced Firing Training: small-calibre armaments now only include guns with a calibre of 139 mm and lower.

 

Can we get an opt-out feature. I like to keep my Tripitz secondaries buffed.

Next time don't just read the first post, but the whole thread...

[Admiral_noodle]

What it should actually say (because it is):

 

 

Advanced Firing Training: small-calibre armaments now only include *main* guns with a calibre of 139 mm and lower, but all secondaries.

 

- because being accurate would have been so hard WG!

[WhoopieMonster]

Ah ok, thanks Kirasa and Admiral_noodle. I wasn't aware that was the case. Looking at patch notes in isolation (clearly a stupid thing to do) it reads as if all guns are effected.

[Tsavinski]

so..jap 140mm is out by  1mm??...

I'm an optimist, mate

[Kirasa]

Yes, Tenryuu and Kuma do NOT get a Range buff.

 

That's the whole point about the change. No Range buff for CL Main guns.

Either the new zone mode is very badly explained or it will come down to coming to the zone first and not dying for like two minutes. Two or three cooperating DDs can easily abuse it with smoke. Sounds perfectly dull.

As soon as an enemy is in the zone the cap counter goes back down to 0.

So the one who gets the enemy team out of the zone wins.

 

BB players will hate the map, since their team will lose if they don't go into the cap.

[Fi_8_8_8_8]

Atago: rudder shift time has been shortened by 20%, and the Repair Party consumable has been added, which should correspond well with recent earnings increase on Atago herself and US ship Atlanta

Can anyone explain what is meant by the last part? Since i have the Atlanta, but I do not see any mentioned changes in the rest of the patch notes..
