super consumables added to ST

 

Considering this is on a test ship and it doesn't even have a normal name isn't it a bit early to assume that it is a new tier of OP consumable? Perhaps they are trying out different reload boosters and see which version works best on Bourgogne?

And different versions of a fighter plane? And heal? And speed boost? And damage control?

 

Nono, time to panic full time.

Good thing Sub_Octavian has shed some light on the new consumables:

 

 

Looks to me that they are testing permanent consumables. You buy them once with doubloons/coal/steel and then you can assign them to ships in your port.

Uff. Faith in WG restored - for now. I wonder why they cant communicate such things before. They should know by now, someone will find out, once they add something new to the game.

[Darth_Glorious]

Spoiler

- T8 Vanguard can be considered  as a T8 Nagato with about same accuracy, strengths and weaknesses

It can be citadeled very easily if not angled

Gun angle and gun traverse time are poor

- Compared to Bellerophon, T3 Dreadnought has less range, much better camo (8.7 km with CE),  better secondaries (lot of 76 mm fast firing gun with same range)

Radar rework? Last time I checked WG's stance on radar was '"there is no problemcomrade" *waves hand*'.

What radar rework? What are they reworking?

They said something in the anniversary stream (i posted that in the radar megathread)

They are working on 2 different things, and the one working better will go live. What they are working on they didnt say.

Excuse me while i do a little dance


Just make it work like it does in a Cyclone and 90% of DD players will be happy
and 90% of Battleship players pissed off as all they see by camping at the back of the map is an icon on their mini map

Is it just me but don't the year 2019 promise to be a wonders year.

 

If you look at all the announcements and rumors you get an believable year. 

 

Let see what we will get for end 2018/2019 so far:

- Reworked CV-play

- Release of RN CVs with the release of reworked CV-play

- Submarines. So that means we will get at least 1 submarine tech-tree. My guess the Germans.

- New game play to hunt subs

- Russian BB-line

- Italian  tech-tree line

- First Dutch ship

- First Austria-Hungarian ship

 

2019 will be a hell of a year even  if only 1/2 is true. 

 

Looking forward particularly to the first Austro-Hungarian and Dutch ships, the Russian BB-line and the addition of submarines. 

Will be interesting to see how that turns out! 

 

What makes me wonder is how / when / which further CV's will be added to the game.

Addition of RN CV's would of course be superb. Yet this would give us an odd number of CV trees, IJN, USN and RN. 

 

Plus Graf Zeppelin, as the only German one. However, only recently I learned that Graf Zeppelin was not the only German aircraft carrier, but that there were more being planned-for: 

there were actally at least 7 others in planning / under consideration : see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_geplanter_Schiffe_der_Kriegsmarine#Flugzeugträger

Enough to fill a 4th CV-tree with?

Theoretically

https://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/zplan/carrier/index.html 

You could get up to T8 CV line with the Graf's Sister ship as the top of the line. 
But alot of merely paper drawings, but one real plan from WW1

This would be the sucessor to Zepplin. Depending if you find another paper-design to put above, it would be T9 or T10.

Any why top of the line? I you make a line go to T10 it isnt like Rn who has an abanduance of BBs dont have 2 paper ships at t9 and 10?

Nagato has 2.0 sigma and 41 cm guns at T7 that have good penetration, good damage, ability to overmatch all others at its tier and nuke ships at range. Its angles also aren't bad and while not great, it also had better turret traverse. Vanguard at T8 has 38 cm guns which even if they aren't Hood guns with actual dispersion would not be anything special, as far as I see it. It'd actually be at the very bottom of T8 firepower, compared to Nagato that is towards the top. I don't see how they are really comparable in their "strengths".

As long as it is not superior to the regular premium consumable and it is somewhat obtainable (i.e. not behind some massive steel requirement) I don't mind.

If this becomes a better version of a consumable available only as a very limited reward or for an obscene doubloon price I'll be starting a pitchfork sharpening service

Agreed. Though, from the sound of it, I guess it'll be more like Legendary mods, where you get "sidegrades". I guess for some you'll still get a "best" option, like the damecon with shortest cooldown, given longer duration longer cooldown damecon is terrible (damecon duration imo almost balances itself, as for example 30 second duration would be good for brawls, but 30 second action time means that these are 30 seconds where the CD doesn't start yet). Meanwhile, for others, you could try achieve balance (repair party that heals more for longer cooldown would be an interesting trade-off for example).

 

Obviously, what WG says and what WG does are two different things however.

DMM Games: This is the logo for the DMM Electronics company, which also happens to be the publisher for Kantai Collection. Future collaboration coming soon?

 

Given the captains datamined earlier, it'll not be Kancolle but Oshiro Project more likely. Which is very very strange.

with 40 planes.  The Joffre would more likely be a French CV.

 

Most of these were Merchantman / liner conversions.  I suppose that you could have an axis CV and have the Italian Aquila at T10, but still only a light carrier.

With the rework, number of planes doesnt matter anymore. Independece has 9999 planes. Per type.

Since we have german & italian lines already, Axis wouldnt make sense.

Since the III.Reich took control over Joffre and had planes to finish it, there is enough justification to put it in a german tree. There was a sister of Joffre planned - Painlevé - that could be used for a possible french CV tree. And WG saves work. win-win.

"We would like to add more variety, reduce the economic load for most players and make free options more viable." That sounds quite like the better non-free options will no longer be accessible by a regular player.

 

I'm not lowering my pitchforks yet.

[Toivia]

Yeah, was watching Flamu's stream and Bourgogne definitely is very strong (seems like a candidate for another Steel ship, at this point).

On the other hand, he sure didn't have much luck with Jean Bart.
