[SPUDS] Unintentional_submarine [SPUDS] Beta Tester 4,052 posts 8,765 battles Report post #7 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) They are probably waiting with Profintern a bit so people can get their hands on Svietlana first. But wasn't USN cruisers supposed to get radar too? I can't see why only the Soviet ships have it, if anyone needs radar, it is the USN ships. They need something, and based on the tests and videos of the Soviet ships, they don't specifically need radar as they can stand on their own.

[TTTX] Tyrendian89 [TTTX] Players 4,608 posts 8,139 battles Report post #9 Posted March 22, 2016 two points from the patch notes that I like: Recalculated protection of secondary guns from HE shells and shrapnel - it is now calculated based on the maximum thickness of the frontal armor. Hit points of secondary guns have been doubled. Yamato mucho likey! Usually wouldn't have any left after two or three good HE volleys... Changed the sound effect for damage markers hooooray!

[SPUDS] Unintentional_submarine [SPUDS] Beta Tester 4,052 posts 8,765 battles Report post #10 Posted March 22, 2016 New Yubari based ship? Can we have a picture and stats plz? Probably the same old ship that has been in the files for a very long time. She isn't a Yubari as much as a testbed for various equipment. Last I saw she had very strange weapons and listed at T10. Don't expect her to be a proto-premium ship. She is most likely going to be a pure test-ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vogel Alpha Tester 2,062 posts 4,171 battles Report post #11 Posted March 22, 2016 Becaaaaaause... ? You should be concerned about its armor and size Just that the devs have stated previously that they don't want CAs with BB guns. Not that 220mm is large enough for that, but WG have a history with Soviet vehicles being slightly better than their competitors at release. So was the case (somewhat) with DDs as well, until they got nerfed during public test Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, wonder if they will ever fix some of the OP russian clubbers like Emperor or Murmansk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is most likely going to be a pure test-ship. Well the Yuubari herself was a testbed for various equipment in real life, so that makes perfect sense. For example the funnel system seen on the Furutaka, Fubuki and Nagato and upwards in the historical timeline from there was first tested on the Yuubari. I believe the 127mm cannons on the DD's were too at some point, as well as some of the 155mm cannons on the larger ships. She wasn't even listed as part of the navy until a lack of ships forced the IJN to make her take front line duties during the war. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though an Agano class or the Ooyodo would be good too. She does look good, but she it not very good. She is supposed to be a good AA ship for tier 4, at least that is what they advertised, but she isn't. Her guns are not ver good, her torpedoes have the worst arc of any ingame, and her modules get wrecket just as easily as on a destroyer. A shame really. she needs a buff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need something, and based on the tests and videos of the Soviet ships, they don't specifically need radar as they can stand on their own. Notes say US will get it in the next patch (after this one). Cynical answer is this will encourage people to do Russian cruisers instead of just sticking with US ones.

Cynical answer is this will encourage people to do Russian cruisers instead of just sticking with US ones. I have a feeling it is because they want to see how radar actually works and how it affects gameplay. Then they can make adjustments if nessecary without it affecting too many ships in the beginning.

Vogel Alpha Tester 2,062 posts 4,171 battles Report post #21 Posted March 22, 2016 Well, it has to be that way when one nation needs far modern vessels to compete with the designs of other nations. Technology goes forward, so it's not really surprising why the Soviet designs get access to radar before the other ships. An necessary evil when half of your tech tree consist of paper design from the post-war period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they wanted to see its impact, MAYBE they should have stuck it on ships that people actually have, as opposed to have a long grind to get? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An necessary evil when half of your tech tree consist of paper design from the post-war period. It's not a necessary evil to give ships which had radar in real life radar in the game. Otherwise a lot of ships that are already in the game would also get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was either the first or among the first German ships to receive radar equipment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
