[RJCTS] Boris_MNE Players 1,568 posts 10,303 battles Report post #1 Posted February 2, 2017 Q) Some rumors are saying that anti-ship missile weapons are going to be added to the game – can you confirm or deny this and, if they are being added, how will they be balanced alongside the existing weapon types? A) We mentioned in our 2017 Preview that we will be adding new armaments to the game and at this moment, missiles is the top guess from our players. There may be some hints in the background, so take a look, but all I can say is that we are testing a few ideas for new weapons, but we don’t know which ones will make it in yet. We will have to see how they feel and how well they can be balanced before we make any more crazy announcements. Any ideas about these hints? With proofs of course!

The only one so far was the 2017 preview video, where one of the ships being modeled was Kildin class DD, which was VMF missile destroyer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[1378] Nargoth73 Players 460 posts 3,784 battles Report post #9 Posted February 2, 2017 Kite balloons will only aggro carriers. I really have no idea what kind of new weapon system they might implement. The choices are a bit limited: * Missiles * Depth charges Since we got HEAP with the new captain skills I think we can rule out any changes to the current shell system. Since there aren't any subs I think we can safely rule out depth charges. That leaves us one choice, and I am not entirely sure how they will implement it.

[HABIT] Tungstonid Beta Tester 1,568 posts Report post #15 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Yeah, mines will probably lead to a more ... passive playstyle because no one wants to either go right into a minefield and explode or evade a minefield by either going all the way around or evading each mine while going right through which will lead to enemies being able to hit you more easily and/or harder. Depth charges are pointless except when they want to introduce Coop bot subs. Which of the current ships were able (if in reality or in theory doesn't matter) to carry and use rockets and what types of rockets are we speaking of? Cruise missiles (á la Red Alert) or more conventional ones? Or will we get potatoes? Edited February 2, 2017 by Tungstonid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RJCTS] Boris_MNE Players 1,568 posts 10,303 battles Report post #16 Posted February 2, 2017 But question is, who would get mines in that case? BBs, CLs,DDs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HABIT] Tungstonid Beta Tester 1,568 posts Report post #17 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Mainly DDs and some CLs I guess. And if that happens I can guarantee the following thing: We will not just have the occasional "Idiot ally cought my torpedoes and I got sanctioned" thread but also "idiot ally sailed into the mines I just set right in front of him and I got sanctioned" Edited February 2, 2017 by Tungstonid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
