[RONIN] 22cm Beta Tester 6,377 posts 36,662 battles Report post #4 Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) This seems the only interesting part: "As part of Update 0.5.9, the in-game models of both the US Battleships and the British Premium warship HMS Warspite were refined. In some cases, this led to a redistribution of the inner part of the ship's durability points (within a 5% limit). We have improved the detailing of the bevels and lines of the model, creating additional conditions for AP shells to ricochet in some situations, especially when they hit the bow or stern of the ship. Armour interaction with HE fragmentation shells and bombs was not affected." So, less penetration from the bow for US BBs and Warspite?

Vanhal Alpha Tester 5,609 posts 5,569 battles Report post #9 Posted July 18, 2016 So, less penetration from the bow for US BBs and Warspite? Playing them i couldn't noticed holes in armor that resulted in lolcits. Maybe they will be fixed, i didn't enjoyed getting random citadels in angled NC front. About German for OP - they weren't supposed to be released in the 5.9, it was known for some time (well, maybe the premiums will get release before next patch).

EsaTuunanen Beta Tester 3,552 posts 8,863 battles Report post #11 Posted July 18, 2016 Automatic free SA could help new players get into game if they can be just taught it's meaning... As in "incoming fire at any moment" and need for evasive maneuvering or angling armor and ship to be harder target. Not much of change to smoke except that now laying smoke should keep you undetected (after initial 5s delay/penalty) when moving at slow speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #15 Posted July 18, 2016 Only technically? Well they are! Super testers and ourselves need to have extensive testing on them before they're ready for mass release. I'm sure people would whine about OP ships and bugs if the ships were rushed through. Whilst we all enjoy bashing WG over Russian Ships, I understand the wait for German BB is necessary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #18 Posted July 18, 2016 True, becuse they will not bring any changes or real competition for Yamato We've known for a long time that the Yam will always stand as King of the BB. I don't have a huge issue with that either, I've got an Iowa and a Yam that I've grinded long and hard to get but I barely play either. Both are special occasion ships. I play T5 to T8 far more. In fact, I half think that anyone who owns a Tirp and will own a Scharnhorst can chill out after they've grinded the T6 German BB in a few days as the higher tier ships are either A) Something they'll have a Prem one of already or B) Cost loads to research and play so will put it on the back burner. WG may have spoilt us with the Tirpitz as it may represent the best of the German BB tech tree, it's one of my favourite ships still and I'm sure most BB players will have it up there on their favourites list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have stated multiple times that we will not have underwater stationary torp tubes. Ofcourse WG fully admits to never say never, as things can change. But what that probably means is that it will not happen for a VERY long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
