Patch Alert: Game Update 0.5.1.2

[IamTroublemaker]

 

• Fixed an incorrect function of the "Dogfighting expert" skill that caused a 100% damage bonus for fighter planes instead of 10% (nothing good ever lasts, eh?)

• Lines with base capture and protection points has been excluded from the detailed stats window as their display is currently not supported. They are still being taken into account for experience calculation

• Ishizuchi premium ship has been added to the Japanese tech tree

• Fixed an error that caused the ships carousel to jump back to the beginning of the list after each battle
• Fixed an issue that caused achievements earned in battle to be displayed twice in the achievements statistics section of the "Profile" tab
• Fixed an issue that caused the free view camera to not turn off in some cases, after leaving the Help window
• Server-side preparations for the start of the next Ranked Battles seasons

 

 

Well folks, seems like the long waited dogfighting expert fix is coming which should be at least some happy news for all the CV captains

 

Its also nice we are getting a new ship purchasable for gold, even though its just Ishizuchi

It's a trap test to see how well an unbundled ship sells according to this forum? Better buy em' in droves! (Well, I already have, in a bundle though. ) 

[Vanhal]

• Ishizuchi premium ship has been added to the Japanese tech tree

 

 

Well, not the Ishizuchi as the ship itself is not interesting in any possible way.

Now the rest of them.

Or at least some plan with release date for the premiums.

Prepare to see 6 or 7 in each team then ...At least a bundled ship keeps the numbers down.

If WG buffs the range of the main guns a bit, this may very well happen! 

[Carnivore81]

No fix for Smokestacks

 

[MrFingers]

Ah, a new unbundled premium ship, interesting... We'll see how much doubloons it will set us back. It's a nice gesture, but there might be a nasty sting in the tail.

Just a question of curiosity, how much would you hope it would be doubloons wise? (Note, I tested last night so had a sneak peek )

 

I for one agree with all of you regarding the current bundle only policy. Bundles are fine ONLY if they offer a significant saving over buying the parts of that bundle separately, and of course being sold via the tech tree for doubloons.

I'd say 900-1000 doubloons?

I hope you were sarcastic. Tirpitz is the first thing that came to my mind

[Mucker]

I think 2,5 k is a safe bet. Aurora sells for 2250 at T3, Murmansk at 3K at T5.

[MrFingers]

While my main focus is at the USN-fleet (in awaiting of the Royal Navy), for a Tier IV Battleship (which to be honest from the reviews isn't spectacular like the Gremyashchy and Murmansk and in lesser degree the Imperator Nikolai I are), I would say 2500 tops (in an ideal world), but hoping for 2000.

Good. Ishi is easy prey.

And it will normalise as the hype (myself i can't even imagine hype for the Ishizuchi, nah) goes off. If anything, the number of premiums, even the greatest, is not a problem. And even if, the cause is hype induced binge buying which consolidates the flood into short time. Solution - selling all the premiums in three ways: ingame, premium shop ship only and bundles. All three without time - restricted offers.

If nothing changes, 2500. not really good price considering the "meh" quality of the ship and compared to WoT  and WoWp premium prices, but as the first new release for doubloons it is meaningful step. If you asked me, i would say 1250 would be accurate and comparable to WoT.

I only hope it's beginning, not exception (not the price ofc, but the introduction of new premiums to ingame shop).

 

EDIT: Down - i do not oppose the idea of super rare ships, like the Tirptz, Warspite or even the seasonal Fujin. Just it seems like EVERY premium is one of those, while it should be 1 on 10 tops. That is crap.

They should make some sort of calendar with when prem ships will be avilable. But then again that would deny WG the possibility to portray them as SUPER RARE ONE OF A KIND DEAL

Couldn't agree more. This way it really feels like they just want to milk the cash, instead of offering us some choice

mikasa is labeled 2000 ... T2

 

according to wows wiki its 2500, but we will see soon enought

[ShockPirat]

No mention about the landing bug...

I hope they fix it, can't bother playing carriers much atm.

And yeah, I hope they don't break anything else

[Crooq_Lionfang]

for 2500 I think I'll get that, got the gold laying around with not so much to do with it, though I won't play it too often due to lack of time when trying to first get the x1.5 for all the regular ships I'm skilling. For every now and then it'll be nice to have

[bushwacker001]

sarcastic? me? as if 

 

Think how bad it would have been without a bundled tirpitz. 

[Ulbricht]

Fixed that negrep for ya and no since it is not in the patch notes it will still be broken

Unless they change the price! the price is known 2500 Dubloons

[Vanhal]

Well, they DID change the prices of few unreleased ships already - Nicolai, Błyskawica nd i think Tone went down, then Błyskawica was up again because of retiering. That's ofc totally different from getting the final release price for ingame shop.

thx. I fixed what i really meant

Thanks for info!

 

BTW, nothing (yet) regarding strange HE behavior (i.e. very very low damage when using HE) from some guns... :-(

I agree lets nerf all HE shells! (My Nurnberg does well enough without them )

[Admiral_H_Nelson]

I'm still struggling to understand BB play, but I would be tempted to get Ishizuchi for 2500 Gold Dubloons, if only to encourage WG to offer more ships for sale this way.
