The Forum Archetecture is quite old. Something which has nearly a decade of use is not easy to renovate and opening up a developer project to crack open established systems for the purposely of adding a link isn't a priority.

I realize it's funny in the meme-sense, but a button at the bottom of a page isn't the sherlock holmes clue that unravels the mystery.

We've advertised Discord for years via our Game, News Portal, Contests, and even supported joining it with Drops/Free Content. There's a reason why it has some 170k people on it and continues to grow.

I renamed the title and set it to "Featured" to give greater visibility to this thread. This sounds like a nice project to be aware of, so giving it a bit of boost while there's time~

I would recommend you watch the Community Stream from yesterday. Here's a link that's about half-way through our talking about the Forum which is most relevant, but I can recommend watching through the discussion entirely.

We already have said it as directly as possible. As years go by, the internet changes and companies that use the internet have to shift to follow along. Somewhat like a hunter following the herd in days long past.

Reddit and Discord are both communication platforms that have hundreds/thousands of different communities which are accessible through a single interface. As Apps become more and more popular, that format has dominated. Our decision to embrace this as fully as possible is what we see as what must be done.

It sucks to move on from the happy hunting ground that is this place, but it is the nature of the situation.

It's really not. Others have pointed out that the expense for forum infrastructure is not high enough to break the bank simply for existing. The larger issue is that static-forums are not growing in the current internet environment, whereas the App-Consolidated formats are growing wildly. Our...

No, but he certainly enjoyed the heck out of it <3

It has been a pleasure to meet you, sir~ Thank you for your help with our Clan Battles the other day!

I've been in awe of your ability to communicate mechanics on touchy subjects like Homing Torpedoes. It's for damn good reason that your post on that has been Featured for who-knows-how-many-months now <3

and yes, I recall your surprise when I told you that your performance on CVs was abnormally good :D They really aren't easy to play well, but the Bearn is a beast in your hands!

Twitch saves streams that happen at the address of the channel with "/videos" at the end.

Captains!

The NA CMs will be live on Twitch later today. We'll of course be discussing the Forum Closure, so please bring your thoughts on the announcement as well as your memories of what we've shared together here.

No silly quip from me today~ We'll see everyone at 5pm CST over at https://www.twitch.tv/worldofwarships

Stay Strong, Tiger!

The NA, EU, and SEA WoWs Forums are all closing, yes

I had originally thought it increased Depth Charge explosion radius as well by the wording of the skill, but it doesn't. It affects HE (and AP/SAP too, I suppose) in terms of "Ammunition".

It happens a bit later on in the Update. From the article: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/game-updates/update-126-spanish-cruisers/#armory

The base client can make the map as large as this (this is 1080p):

You can increase the UI scale in the Settings:

You can destroy mines through use of ASW. Air Strikes drop Depth Charges with a 300m radius explosion from the charge. Ship-dropped Depth Charges have 800m radius explosion from the charge.

If you're using any mods for your minimap, please disable them. You should see the minefield indicated on the minimap during both the arming phase and the armed phases.

No, Demo Expert does not alter the radius of Depth Charge explosions.

Since the Concord Bridge's bombers are the only planes that can deploy a minefield, it's worth paying attention to what the bombers do via the minimap once you see that bombers are in use.

If they use the consumable, the field is marked on the minimap as soon as it's deployed. It has a 40 second arming-time, as well.

Arming Phase:

After Arming:

No, the consumable use is independant of how many planes are active in the Squadron at the time of use. Similar to calling a Fighter while only having 1 plane in the air or 9 planes in the air.

The minefield consumable calls another group of planes which near-immediately drop the field. I've not seen those planes be shot down, so it's easiest to just see it as a delivery animation.

First, disable any Mods you might be running. We had a new Update recently and that can cause weirdness while mods are still being updated.

Next, you can try a "Check & Repair" in case something in the Update didn't install correctly. If the issue is deeper than that, CS should be able to help so please submit a Ticket!

My first thought would be to disable any Mods you might be running. We had a new Update recently and that can cause weirdness while mods are still being updated.

After that, try a "Check & Repair" in case something in the Update didn't install correctly. If that doesn't resolve it, you might try an Uninstall and Reinstall.

If the issue is deeper than that, CS should be able to help as they have much more technical knowledge than I do~

The Kikaku can deploy smoke from its Rocket Planes. They are available on a cooldown, so similar to Tac Squadrons of Hybrids/SuperCVs/Hornet.

The Concord Bridge's Bombers can deploy minefields. These are normal in terms of plane characteristics but have an axtra consumable they can use while in flight.
