Commanders!

Due to technical changes in the voiceovers of commanders, with the release of update 12.1 custom voice modifications will no longer work. Mod makers will need to update modifications in accordance with the changes in order for them to start working correctly. We will provide mod makers with all the required details in advance.

Voiceovers are different than Event Commanders. We do not have any expectation of creating a voiceover for every Event Commander that enters our game.

Is the issue more that use of the "National Voiceover+" defaults to English on those Santa/Event Commanders even if the player's Base/Localized Language is set to a non-English language? (Example: Player has game set to Spanish as they only speak Spanish, but all Event Commanders of X Type default to "English" despite Spanish being the base language?)

I'm not very informed on all the different countries and languages which are represented in the Pan-Asian line. As you're already listed 4 different languages above and seem to indicate the possibility of yet more, that could create an issue.

Some people may want the ship to have the voice of it's affiliated language, even if they don't understand it.


Some people may want the ship to have the voice of a non-affiliated language, but one that is of the region even if they don't understand it.


Some people may want the ship to have the voice of a non-affiliated language, but one that is of the region because they understand that and not the traditionally-affiliated one.

In effect, you'd be asking the "National Voiceover+" setting to accomodate multiple types of player expectation, even though it's only one setting. In order to do that, additional UI work and coding would have to be done to allow further player-...

Smaland is specifically capable at the role she performs. While Ragnar is great against other DDs in terms of raw matchup, Clan Battles tend to be factored around the Cruiser damage. Cruisers will be able to interact with a Ragnar more consistantly than a Smaland, which makes for a different frontline experience.

Cruiser choice is heavily limited based on Battleships that will be encountered. The season starts with 2 BBs which is already a lot of map pressure, so removing a variety of 420mm+ weaponry makes for more variety of Cruiser choice that can be played into a double BB setup. While Yamato, Shikishima, and Incomp are still allowed, they have weaknesses which are considered significant enough to be played around despite their Overmatch. Overmatch being limited in possible playstyles frees up gameplay options.

When CBs change to single Battleship, the meta will again change. Having the variety of Cruisers available will st...

As with the prior threads, this has quickly run afoul of attacks and problems. This thread is now locked.

It happened faster this time, so I'm dropping a Pacific Rim reference:

Speaking as a member of the NA CM Team, I wouldn't be able to understand those languages to be able to provide a voiceover for them. Any voiceover work I would be associated with would need to be in English as that is the only language I understand enough to record nuance and performance in.

If you are looking for a themed voiceover in a specific language, I would recommend making a suggestion post on the WoWs Forum best aligned with that language. That regional CM Team might be able to look into that as a cool project for players.

If you are requesting a baseline language/localization, that would be more of an overall game project as a form of standardization request. The would be less regional and more of a generalized request, so a post could be made in the https://forum.worldofwarships.com/forum/206-player-f...

Stay on the lookout for the event to start later in the Update. Per the article: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/game-updates/update-120-lunar-new-year/#lunar-new-year

The Commander should be earnable for Free <3

The Unique Pan-Asian Commander does provide Gameplay impacting skills and triggered talents. Voiceovers are not necessarily associated with Gameplay as the in-game voicework is more fun and a matter of personal preference for each player.

Commanders!
Please, be informed that the settings of the modified Domination on the 12.1 Public Test server will differ from the ones that were announced in the 12.1 Bulletin:

Points when destroying an enemy ship will be +38 for all ship types instead of +40


Points when losing a ship will be –25 for all ship types instead of -32

These parameters were changed in order to ensure a better quality of testing the modified domination on the PT server. We apologize for possible inconveniences.

Malta's AP Bombs can wreck an Austin's day if they are piloted through the flak waves. That being said, if the Malta doesn't land the knockout punches the fight will drag on for quite some time and the plane losses will be gnarly.~

Midway torps require you to set your line and stay on it. They are extremely unhappy with turning during the prep phrase, and are unhappily intolerant of turning during the attack phase.

I have a video which shows this concept in practice:

On my "Hello, I'm Ahskance!" post after I was announced as a CM, someone posted that I was already forged in the fires of hate from being a CV player~

It would be helpful if that player can provide a WGCheck report <3

For in-game intentional griefing, use "Collusions" to report: https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/help/31336/31337/31338/31339/

For in-game misbehavior in chat, use "In the Battle Chat" to report: https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/help/31336/31337/31345/31346/

For in-port misbehavior in chat, use "In the Port" to report: https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/help/31336/31337/31345/31347/

Skip Bombs are most effective when used at their longest range. That allows them to strike while trying to avoid as much AA damage as possible. As such, you can try to deny them long distance strike-lines.

Also, they are best used against broadside targets so you can try to keep your broadside angled in such a way that the CV has to detour significantly to find the angle to strike with. That or put your side in such a way that an ally is covering the area with AA fire so that the CV doesn't get good attack lines for little plane health cost.

I made a video on how Russian CVs work and what you can do in relation to that. Russian CVs are broadside-attack pattern based, so your ship's position can influence that interaction quite a bit.

Customer Support Ticketing bad behavior is absolutely important for lessening that bad behavior in the game.

A single player that rages in chat could play 10 games in a night and impact 23 x 10 = 230 other players with their behavior in a single play session. Creating a Customer Support Ticket will see the issue checked, verified, and addressed. Infractions to the rules rarely escalate to Permanent statuses, but it starts the journey if that's where it ultimately has to go or hastens the process if it's already started. That and 230+ people a night don't have to read/block some raging person in chat.

Same issue with people that intentionally throw Ranked matches or try to intentionally ruin the game experience of others. Customer Support Tickets get those issues logged, addressed, and escalated if they continue.
