Discussion thread for "some interesting info around the world"

[Gojuadorai]

while the cesare is undoubtly strong and can even do well in games with high number of T7 some people here are overstating her capabilities 

[PseudoMi]

Wait a minute, it makes sense : the only serious threat for Cesare are Tier 6-7 CVs and the Scharnie brothers. All of them have torps ! Thus, buff the Torpedo Damage Reduction.

Are you clairvoyant or something?

-The thorough deck armor (from bow to stern) on Sims reduced from 16mm to 13mm.

 

Huh, first time a premium ship got hit directly by a nerf I believe.

Or is this supposed to be a buff against pen damage?

Buff against the pen damage, it changes the armour to a level below that which will activate AP shells

[PseudoMi]

And anyway it doesn't change HE damage for your Sims as any other high-tier 100mm gun destroyer (Akizuki/Harekaze) was already penning you at 16mm thickness without IFHE.

ST, American cruiser Salem, tier X

Damage Control Party consumable cooldown is decreased from 90 to 60 seconds for option I and from 60 to 40 seconds for option II.
These changes are designed to make the ship more comfortable to play.

 

 

so this means the ship is tested in 2 versions like the  GZ TEST I & II

or

it can be driven in 2 configurations

(imho first one is more likely)

What two configurations do you mean?

well it potentialy could be that they give you the ship with a choice

dunno what that would be.

something like a and b hull with a unkown difference that is balanced out by 2 diffrent consumeable worktiems

[fumtu]

It is interesting that WG changed DCP for Salem which is almost the same as Des Moines reasoning it with "to make the ship more comfortable to play". So what Des Moines is like not/less comfortable to play now?

But why do you think it's being tested in two configurations right now?

cause i just now realized option 1 and option 2 mean premium and non premium consumeable

[PseudoMi]

Fire duration is already 30 seconds for cruisers, right ? What's the big deal with lowering DCP reload time from 60 to 40 seconds ?

Now I understand. Yeah, the wording in their statement isn't very good.

both good points

imho it seems to me its just meant to make the ship just a little bit diffrent.

imho thats totally ok cause i think trading the plane option and a bit of health for a really minor thing is ok

Even with those trades I'd say Salem is straight up better (I don't care about that plane at all).

But she'll probably have better dispersion too.

yeah forgot about the dispersion, its straight up better.

question is  will they tweak american CA's with american CL release?

they might adjust  dispersion of CAs so they have something over the CL's

Well they might as well review the entire US cruiser line upon splitting it. Still wondering what shennanigans you'll need to do you get a Salem

Do you think Des Moines needs a review, too?

Since she doesn't change tier...

ST, French destroyer Aigle, tier VI

 

To increase the ship's combat efficiency compared to other destroyers of the same tier, HE shell maximum damage is increased from 1000 to 2000.

 

Main battery turret rotation and elevation speeds are also changed: rotation speed is decreased from 10 to 6.5 degrees per second, elevation speed is decreased from 10 to 8 degrees per second

Wow, 125,000 to 138,888 DPM, that's insane.

 

//edit

Just realised Farragut (B) has even more. Need to see how the arcs will be on this one.

They should be same as on Bougenville as it use same guns as Aigle.

It'll depend on what they do with Salem :)

With a news post today they asked a question:

Ahoy there captains! As 2017 begins to wind down and we sail towards Christmas and the New Year, rest assured that we still have a few aces up our sleeve to surprise you with. We have a creative contest coming very soon, but before we launch it, we need a little help from you. Simply put, we just need you to choose your favourite ship from the selection provided in the link below. After that, just stay tuned for the result in December!

 

 

So I decided to participate and I was surprised to see that Normandie was an option and the form you fill out with a lot of these contests was "pick your server region"

Spoiler

Anything is speculation but you can draw some ideas from this inclusion.

Unless WG do something silly with the shell drag coefficients, the Aigle will have worse performance than the US 127 mm HE shells at close range (700 m/s vs. 792 m/s), but will gain performance on all other ranges due to the heavier shells (40,2 kg vs. 24,5 kg). Now, the real question is, at what distance will Aigle's 139 mm overtake the US 127 mm? 

My guess is that the Aigle will have better ballistics from 4-5 km and beyond but I guess we'll see (rather soon, considering the ship was supposed to be tested by CC already).

Aoba all the way! She might not be the best cruiser anymore, but she sure is one of the most beautiful ships in the game. Too bad that the repulsive teaboos and wehraboos (kriegsmariboos?) will ruin everything!

Aw... the Normandie's not here yet, but they have put it there, and the Aosta (which is here) isn't even on the list?

Eh, whatever. It's not like I would've picked it, if I'd been honest.

I have picked the New Mexico, the Stalward Standard! I shall never betray her! 

[Humorpalanta]

If there's 1 thing I love about WG is their humour. It's plain ridicolous. I can enjoy it finally now that i've left.

Problem    Solution

HE meta -> RN BBs with broken HE

Smoke meta -> Pan Asian DDs with so much smoke that they can hide in it for like 6 minutes totally invisible.

Too stronk and stealthy IJN torps -> Deepwater torps with impossible reaction time and strong hit.

Too many radar that DDs can't actually work -> Gives new DDs radar cos why not?
