buy time and do it with free XP)

Flambass just mentioned in a vid that FreeXP-ing won´t be possible. Dunno how they want to do that tho.

Guys, if Harugumo lose its 32m pen, I really don't see any point on playing it overall. It's absolutely terrible at killing DD. Farming BB was it only good points. WIth losing IFHE penetration it will "only" bully cruisers.

Kitakaze at least is good for cap contest.

 

Also IFHE would remain mandatory for every tier 8-10 152mm cruisers. The ability to deal direct damage is far far more valuable than counting on fire RNG to proc. Especially with how much fire were nerfed between just before IFHE introduction and now.

• Soviet tier X cruiser Smolensk will be available for coal;

 

Nice. I should be able to buy it as soon as she is released.

• American tier X destroyer Somers will be available for steel;

 

There goes my intention to buy a Black. Somers would probably be even more expensive then Nuestra, which means I would probably need additional 6k to 7k more Steel to buy it with coupon.

Nice. This one should not be problem too.Already on 2.5mil of FXP

Silly me thinking torpedoes were one thing WG was usually pretty hands off on. The constant changes to the French torpedoes certainly corrected that opinion.

So... European Nation

 

What source? Is there any more info which nations will be included in this EN?

Changes to test ships

Mostly unreadable with dark theme.

[Nishi_Kinuyo]

Friendly reminder that it would be nice if all news posted in the thread is readable on dark theme.

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Also, if I'm not mistaken there was supposed to be a stream today for rasha showing the tier 8-10 Italian Cruisers?

Anyone know what happened with that?

It happened. you can find them in the devblog.

That's a topkek turret layout right there.

These guns gotta have ridiculous reload on them, otherwise I see a balancing problem in the making.

[SparvieroVV]

I mean it is kind of impressive of all the scenarios most pondered Lesta truly managed to get everyone to go

T8-10 RM cruisers:

It appears that all of them are of heavy crustier class, with the tX Milano but it’s like the higher the tier, the more turrets it has. Milano also appears to be of large cruiser in size

Let’s say it has similar reload of German CA, which is about 10s. This means that it has effectively the firepower of a Baltimore head on, with one of the highest potential alpha of all cruisers for a full broadside salvo.

 

12s reload would be feasible.

 

also that’s a lot of boat for the front end

Mogami says hi

 

Though WG meaning of "slow reload" might mean 14-15s, IJN territory.

The Milano May be able to fire all 3 turrets directly ahead at long range, Mogami is not able to do the same. Plus those sre 15 203mm for a full broadside, Mogami uses 15 155mm or 10 203mm, so Milano has a significantly heavier broadside weight.

And Mogami is tier 8.

 

Considering closest competitor of "slow reload, high alpha" would be Zao, Milano might trade concealment for "higher alpha" as she is no small bote. Then we know nothing of range as well gun ballistics, WG can easily cut down all three guns firing by giving short range, so you need range upgrade AND spotter to make it work.

 

though looking at this pic, I have odd feeling AA mounts in front will prohibit (short range) firing from first and second turret, so you would be reduced to 3rd one only. Which would be quite kekworthy

 

Ibuki can fire all three turrets forward when firing at targets 18km+ away with similar-ish elevation at that range to seen above. And her guns aren't railguns by far

[BruceRKF]

They should rethink the names of the high tier cruisers. Yes, other heavy cruisers are named after cities, but those were cities redeemed after World War I and not some random well known Italian cities.

[FishDogFoodShack]

They definitely need name changes, the t8-10 ones are especially egregious and practically spit on Regina Maria nomenclature.

[thiextar]

They need name changes, because they all sounds like different kinds of pizza. Milano with extra sauce and no mushrooms please. My friend will have the torino with no tomatos and my gran will try the verona.

With that attitude, most names will sound like pizza.

Okt Revolution can shoot straight fwd, through her AA-mounts on the bow. I assume, this ship will get the same trait.

So is Missouri? It can shoot through its flared bow.

They couldn’t even be bothered to put a realistic interpretation of radar on these ships. The extensive “research” was an intern sent to go shopping in Milan.

In case you haven't noticed, battles don't take place at distances you would aim guns directlyat the target and gravity is a thing even in WG games

[loppantorkel]

I'm starting to understand why WG held out for so long before attempting to introduce an Italian line.
