German seconderies OP please nerf HE penetration on them

 

[Glig69]

This is my first time on the PTS and I was horrified how bad was the gameplay/teamplay in the games.  Just awful.  

 

Is it because everyone has sudden access to T10 ships, no matter what their skill/experiemce level is?  At the moment, I am not sure it's something that I want to spend too much time in, which presumably is bad for you WG since you want the new releases tested.  Could you perhaps think of a way of screening/segregating players by experience level on their main account?

[metallas93]

too many DDs in every battle. Could you limit them in 3 per battle max?? The game is unbalanced when there are so many ships that spend most of the time undetected

[eyepiece]

So I won't be able to play this game anymore unless I get a new computer that I can't afford!

Even though I have spent several hundred pounds on the game.

And, I might add only recently purchased dubloons and premium time.

Frankly that stinks.

Test client does not remember full-screen setting. Always starts in windowed mode.. Not sure if this is common? It's first time i see that kind of behaviour.

Yes - I saw this also - In addition to setting the check box "Zoom full screen" it didn't make a difference a number of times and it is like it forgot that the box was checked.  Also early on in the 2nd day of play the music got stuck in some kind of loop during a battle that I was in. It happened during a time that no other enemy ships were present and the sound got stuck on some kind of loop that almost sounded like bad loud interference and it was like you had a CD with a bad scratch on it and the music was looping. This happened only once.

Sure Glig! They might have some places left in Siberia to segregate them...!!!!

yes it is because of access to T 10 . its a test though youre playing to test things not be the best thats for teh main server so no segregation needed

Public Test 0.6.4 [Part 2]

 

Note: Part 2 of the Public Test will start on April 12 at 18:30 CEST (UTC+2)!

Hello guys, a little thing that has nothing to do with this version but I do not think that has ever been reported.
In the inventory list, you can not sell the "A" deck of Fletcher, Benson and Mahan too.
I would add that the aircraft carrier tier 4 and 5 have become the almost useless, especially when playing at a higher level.
Anyway thanks.

So the German cruisers got buffed from T8 - T10! I was so excited for this! I just love these cruisers because of the looks but hate the unreliability of the guns... Their there good in only one category and that was brawling! And now guess what got buffed! ... Yeah the armour!! Bow and stern got buffed from 25mm to 27mm. So now you are save from 152mm HE shells... WITHOUT IFHE of course! Who would even take this on a 152mm HE spammer?! Yeah being sarcastic here...

Also you bounce now 381mm AP shells... at close range... from BBs that are good at brawling so you brawl with them. Hilarious. This is literally the worst buff they could have come up with!

 

This is the official announcement:

"Admiral Hipper, Hindenburg, Prinz Eugen, Roon: the thickness of the plating of the bow and stern tip, casings of the casemate and the corresponding decks is increased from 25 to 27 mm.

This change should increase the survivability and combat effectiveness of cruisers. Now the listed sections of the hull will be protected from penetration of high-explosive shells caliber 152 and 155 mm. Also, 27 mm armor makes it impossible for unconditional penetration of armor-piercing projectiles with calibers 380 and 381 mm."

 

Just played the Hipper, didn't even take one hit to the specific areas, it was hard work to get dmg and I felt exhausted after the match, not even quite satisfied. A MK would have done the job as well but would have come out with double the dmg easy. I just give up on them. Too situational, you are more of a burden to your team with them then help!

[mtm78]

I don't even think Roon / Hindenburg badly needed buffs... heck Roon is one of if not the best tier 9 cruiser imo.

 

Would be much nicer if German AP had better normalization so they don't start bouncing the moment enemy angles a single degree.

Exactly, just a slight buff in that regard and a bit closer look to the Hipper/Eugen would have been fine! But no, lets buff the already excellent armour. I'm interested if this grants a BB more penetrations to the bow/stern section. Will test it later in the trainingroom.

[chuck87]

Hi, I'm unable to make a new account on the test server, everytime i go on the public test portal page i'm unable to see the picture for the security check; i have already tried to use a different browser web (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) but nothing changed.

Any advice?

At least more reliable pens to them are not noticeable, but the problem remains... give them more AP pen please!

[Cmdr_Kouta]

All in all the update is nice, especiel considering the "better" IJN turret traverse for some ships (especiel mogami CL config and some DD). Yet i also have a complaint , and somewhat of an suggestion for further PTS:

 

First the complaint:

 

I happen to notice this for at least as long as PTS exists by now, even in WOT. Most people that participate do not test, they wanna play ships they want, drive what they want, and test for their own purposes (for example: is the NC(north Carolina) worth it with those skills and modifications). Its a TEST SERVER where we are on equal terms as the SUPERTESTER, we can move things, we can complaint about ballance changes and stuff, not just test out loadouts and different captain skills for free! We are here to TEST the stuff that WG suggest would make fine changes to the game. I accept that the ships are off limits to most testers, thus only giving them to Supertester even on the PTS (Nice that we can get our hand on at least the T9 French CA now), but i dont accept the personal testing of stuff over eventual ballance issiues and stuff like the T4 and 5 block for manual drops for CV. More people should have voiced agains this on the PTS, so WG would have known that most people dont like it, yet MOST on the PTS did not do so, rather waited for patch day and THEN shitstormed the news section and the forum about it.

 

That was the complaint now the suggestion:

 

I am a long time WG player, participated in the CBT of World of Tanks, Warplanes And in the Alpha of WOWS. I did not play as much as i would have loved to because of numerous reasons, yet back to the suggestion. I suggest, the testserver should again be limited to people playing the said game for at least a year (wich means they need a service recort showing that they did drive a T1 vessel back then so no WOT vets could play WOWS PTS because they happen to be there from zero hour 6 years ago and want to just have some fun with the PTS and the posibility to drive anything in it). Thats my suggestion and HOPE that some WG staff reads this and thinks about it. Its a TEST where we are supposed to TEST stuff they wanna do, and not for our personal gain's.

 

Ofc. i am one to talk, i never even considerd writing into the test server forum, yet all tests till now went exactly the same: Mobbing from our russian testers, most people telling me to shut up if i complaint about changes WG did and so on.

All this made me ignore the fact that we COULD POTENTIALY make a difference here on the test Forum and build up further hatred against WG from my side. Now most stuff you did wrong is not changable this fast, if at all, because the player ignore ballance issiues all the time. Same in WOT with the armor penetration system. A more realistic aproach would not be favorable for most vet players, yet at least in WOT, WG tryed to change this situation with the sandbox server.

 

Thanks for reading this far, i hope the future will be better, i will continue to test and then fill in a proper report this time like i did back in alpha (where i earned mobbing and shitstorm too btw. so its mostly the comunity's fault that WG's games kinda get worse every patch)(and yes this is a second account for some who might ask, my first one sadly got lost duo to me not remembering my email account password to reset my account, i dont honestly care anyway, my new one is more secure than the previous one)

 

Regarts: Cmdr_Kouta

 

PS: Even if it does not belong here: WG PLEASE do something about the mobbing against anime/manga fans! First we are called OTAKU, Second: its our WAY OF LIFE, if people have something against that then they should keep tight, its OUR STUFF and does not harm anybody, especiel if i only ONCE PER BATTLE say GL and have Poi all!(now Godspeed and have Poi all! Nepu!), yet most people who hate anime because they dont understand it keep insulting me all the time long after the battle. And yes if i would fill in reports with screenshot prove against all of them then WOWS EU would drop from 30k players top to 25k in no time... their sadly that many of them.

People play PT to use ships they want to grind, to test new features and finally I see some go AFK just for the rewards...

 

I'm the first reason 

[mtm78]

I almost always poi on pts, never gotten insulted for it

 

[JanVonKrang]

Good morning all, 

 

It's the first time I have taken part to the public test. There is a recent change in wows (which doesn't actually relate to 0.6.4 pt version), which in my opinion has made this game worst: the new in-battle music system. I think the way this system reacts to battle situations is really poor and not effective. I really prefer the music as it was before this change. Regarding this pt version, the only problem I happened to experience is not being able to join a battle only when using Iowa (the match-launching screenshot just froze). I would like to suggest to wg to add the compliments one receives in PT to that player's main account. Thanks all

About the italian ship. Why WG don't insert the Roma?! One of the best battleship in the world and why there is russian tech tree? Regia Marina is 10000 over URSS navy, i know WG is russian but there isn't only Russia in ww2.

IN ITALY WE'RE WAITING ITALIAN TECH TREE FOR AGES!

[krautjaeger]

Since it's weekend, and WoWs is not always the place to be then, I played some WoT. More precisely the O-I, and I wonder how is it that when you fire the O-I's 15cm guns you really enjoy the earth tremble but when you fire 152mm ship cannons they sound like pea-shooters? Same calibre. In essence, could we please get some better sounds for guns both regular and AA. I would be happy if you just copied 15cm gun sounds from WoT to WoWs really. So it sounds like you're not just rolling around pebbles in a cup.
