Thanks for those detailed screenshots, very appreciated.

Looks pretty good.

Might rebuy the furry Taco.

I guess it can be kinda crowded at times.

I have to decide literally between aids or ebola...

 

it's either i don't have the information that i want on the screen over the ships (via standard interface) because i don't want the numbers on the minimap...

Or i have the information of the ship over it meanwhile i have these awefull numbers on the minimap...

 

next thing is that i doN#t need the torp range permanently.. i need it only when i have selected it.. same applies to HE/AP guns...

 

sry... but it's just too crowded for me... and i just prefere the old minimap over the new one...

 

and try to figure out how far you can shoot with torps:

these numbers just doN#t move left,right up and so on... if they get out of the minimap... and this minimap just feels like we need one more feature.. do you know this mod? replicate it fast... so that we have one more feature for 0.5.6

So... they still forgot about names on minimap?

 

In case someone makes a yamato + myogi division and a BB is spoted on other side of minimap (where I dont have the view range to see it myself) I have to guess which BB it is?

(A bit stretched example I know but... how hard can it be to put names in it? Yes I really like to know what ships are where)

Those UI changes... Really looking forward to 0.5.6 now.

 

I really have a hard time seeing the upgrade between the Furutaka and the Aoba now. You get better RoF, range and AA, but you lose a lot of turret traverse speed, accuracy and those great torps. Plus you of course also get one tier worse MM.

So torp range is now always displayed? Sounds completely useless to me. And those numbers on there do indeed seem annoying.

The are indeed annoying... and as said before.. you can't turn them off in the alternative interface... which i would love to see...

 

and yeah the torp range is displayed always and can't be turned off either...

Seems like they made it easier for the people that have the minimap turned off or really small anyway. :child:

 

Yeah the numbers seem a little too much, lose them and add shipnames instead. Torpedo range always displayed is something you will get used to fast.

The problem is that it's just too much for me tbh...

It was just keeping it like it is right now... when you have guns selected minimap show the circle with max range for guns, when you select torps minimap replaces the circle for guns with the one for torps (no need to keep both always displayed...)

 

Then add the circle for detection and minimap names and last spoted position and we're golden...

 

 

Everything else like numbers, AA auras and whatnot could just give them a on/off button for whoever wants it...

 

Still new minimap seems a step in the right direction as current minimap is pretty crap to be honest

 

Edit: oohh and are the names of the players on the planes?... and the distance at which the spoter/fighter planes are from our ship? (or at least show the damn spoter plane on minimap)

and more hp perhaps?

ah and iirc Furu does not have access to AA barrage ability, so only fighter plane and hydroacc.... does furu have hydro search anyway? don't really remember :P

 

any ways once this hits I will deffo rebuy furu for credit farming purposes :D

well personally for me when I'm driving DD/CA it may have that small little use of not having to swap to torpedo when I only want to check if the guy is in their range......

No need to go for that high tiers.

Same happens at all tiers that you have no idea of actual identity of ships outside your drawing/rendering distance.

 

But well, at least that's step toward rigth direction even if there are some unnecessary things in that.

you can have the old map if you want, everything is parametrable in battle via on/off buttons in the map options (the gear). Just pres ctrl and choose what you want displayed.

not really... in the old version the torp/HE&AP radius would be only active if you would have selected the torps/HE&AP...

now it's always active... permanently...

 

so you can't have the old one anymore...
