[MEN] Captain_Singleton Players 3,184 posts 20,102 battles Report post #1 Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) so i was reading TAP and noticed this in WOWs: 0.6.3 Public Test Update Saint Louis, Henri IV, Roon, Hindenburg, Ibuki, Zao, Dmitry Donskoy, Moskva, Neptune, Minotaur, Worcester, Baltimore, Burlington, Des Moines : the salvo accuracy inside the dispersion ellipse has been increased (the sigma number increased from 2.0 to 2.05); Now the question, what are the Worchester and Burlington? i haven't seen anything about them on the forum before, a quick search of google reveals the USS Worchester https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Worcester_(CL-144) a 1947 CL the HMCS Burlington https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMCS_Burlington was a 1941 Canadian minesweeper OR the USS Burlington https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Burlington_(PF-51) a 1943 US Frigate edit added USS Worchester Edited March 25, 2017 by Salentine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TORAZ] El2aZeR Beta Tester 15,786 posts 26,801 battles Report post #2 Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) A Q&A quite a while ago revealed that (USS) Worcester will be implemented as part of the USN CL line. First time I've heard of Burlington, though. Edited March 25, 2017 by El2aZeR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BLOBS] StuntMan0369 Beta Tester 923 posts 4,848 battles Report post #4 Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah, USS Worcester has been sitting in the game files for about a year now (probably longer too). It looks like the tier 10 of what will eventually be a USN Light Cruiser line. Burlington is weird though. It's the first I've heard of such a name. There is another Tier 10 USN CA in the game files called Buffalo, so I can only assume that's what they were referring to and it's a translation error.

AwesomeChicken Players 108 posts 5,229 battles Report post #16 Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) So I guess we might see the US cruiser split this year. Buffalo might replace the Balti at T9, which should go down to T8 and NO to T7. Worcester looks like a T5 or 6. The real Worcester should be in the CL tree.

Buffalo might replace the Balti at T9, which should go down to T8 and NO to T7. Worcester looks like a T5 or 6. The real Worcester should be in the CL tree. Probably not going to happen, Balti & NO received their buffs and are perfectly capable ships. And I doubt the insertion of a paper ship for no real reason apart from the perception that Balti & NO are bad ships would go down that well. Buffalo / CA-B should ideally head a second CA tree, possibly splitting from Pensacola with Northampton. That would not happen for some time though, and should ideally be after the CL line appearing with Worcester at tier 9, and a triple turret super-Worcester at tier 10. Should I get that graphic of my USN Cruisers again? I think I will wait until someone asks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TORAZ] El2aZeR Beta Tester 15,786 posts 26,801 battles Report post #19 Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Found the Q&A Q: In game files we can find USS Buffalo and USS Worcester. Are there any plans for release of those ships to the players?A: USS Worcester lies in wait for next line of US cruisers. USS Buffalo was in our plans for a clan event, but now we are considering doing something else with her.

[FTR] NemesisActual Players 120 posts 4,209 battles Report post #24 Posted March 26, 2017 Burlington is the ship currently in game as Buffalo, a US cruiser design with four main turrets instead of three. (Also, in game she has torps) You can see her if you use the extended tech tree mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wibble. (And therefore I prove that I am definitely not sensible.) For those that haven't seen before, this be it. A few things that are not represented on here are; - There is also a 3x 3 6" CL design with torpedoes that would work at tier 6. - Brooklyn has a low RoF to compensate for having 15 barrels of freedom at tier 7. - Pittsburgh is a 7 gun Pensacola preliminary, basically a combination of Omaha & Penascola in game terms. - Vallejo only has 4 triple turrets, but a high RoF, about 15RPM or more. - Helena T8 - San Francisco T8 - Fargo T8 - Little Rock T8 - Houston T7 - Chicago T7 - Savannah T7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
