World of Warships Dev Tracker

Love my Hotlanta! It even does well when uptiered in VIII and IX games!

#anchorsaweigh

I will be doing torpedoes and captain skills next week :). We are at the New Jersey this weekend for Anchors Away!

Hey Venom,

That is an excellent result and thank you for sharing your match experience. What about the Alsace do you like the most? Number of guns? Speed?

Heyo Captain

Can you please follow the instructions found here:

hopefully this will help resolve your issues.

Fem,

The destroyer skill level does increase as you go higher up the Tier tree, however the capabilities of your warship increases too.

Playing aggressively in DDs may work at lower tiers but with radar, hydro, fighter planes, and even other destroyers in the mix, a destroyer captain must carefully realize the risks versus the benefits of their tactics and strategy.

Do I play aggressive and contest the cap while risking an early exit back to port?

Or do I play more conservatively and live longer while risking falling behind on points and have allied cruisers and battleships take enemy fire and losses?

Tough questions that only destroyer captains can answer depending on the situation, their strengths, and the makeup of ships on the OPFOR.

The "Lucky Ship" has been pretty good to me lately!

I also have been having success in the Seattle. I know it's not a popular cruiser but being able to repel destroyers and grind down other cruisers and battleships makes it on my regular rotation!

My guilty pleasure ship is the Irian, good DPM and the stealthy torpedoes make it an unlikely hero in many battles!

I'll keep my eye out for what's on the horizon!

Despite the CV rework since 0.8.0 I still play destroyers often. Have I changed my gameplay, a little bit. Extending too far makes me vulnerable to carrier attack planes armed with rockets so I don't charge in at full speed trying to race to the cap.

Instead going at full speed with a cruiser a few KMs behind then cutting the throttle as I approach the cap or spot incoming planes and allowing them to catch up means I can use the cruiser's AA bubble for protection and to discourage the incoming planes from picking me off. It may not work sometimes but it gives the CV player pause as the chances of their squadron taking severe losses may not be worth attempting to damage a destroyer.

It works a little more than half of the time so I'm sticking with it!

Since CVs appear to be a hot topic now, may I direct your attention to Public Test 0.8.4:

A major bullet point is CV updates which I invite everyone to try out on the PT server.

Try it and let us know what you think in the feedback portion.

This was announced in advance earlier this week:

We wanted to shift from the former format to allow for individual effort to contribute to the clan as a whole.

Ahoy Fleet!

Before doing any drastic such as resigning your commission, check out Public Test 0.8.4:

We are still in the process of adjusting aircraft carrier gameplay and your testing/input is valuable in pointing us in the right direction.

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Which cruisers in your Fleet dish out the most damage to the enemy?

Cruisers are known for high damage per minute from both their main battery guns and sometimes a lethal torpedo armament.

Whether it is a high rate of fire or well placed high caliber shells and torpedoes, cruisers make up for light armor protection with the ability to rain death on their opponents.

Of all of the cruisers at your disposal, which one puts out the most damage or has sunk the most ships?

@SireneRacker good catch! Thanks for reporting the inaccuracies. Forwarded to the video team for investigation.

@NZMengsk @Xero_Snake @Cpt_Whiskey72 I'm happy to see you guys enjoyed the video!

@TornadoADV @CSM_HQ_Coy @RoundsDownRange I'm sorry that you guys took this video for Russian propaganda.

In reality the only thing we try to promote is the lore behind the in-game content, which happens to be Russian Battleships at this point.

Did you get a least a bit more interested in RUBB after watching the video?

There will be more episodes about the American and other famous ships from our game in the future!

Let us know, which of the old episodes is your favorite, so we cater to your taste better.

Also, if anyone got accidentally converted to Russian patriotism, I can teach how to sing Russian anthem while playing WoWS! (jk)

CV updates are currently underway in Public Test 0.8.4. We are doing our best to adjust and balance but we also need participants to test it out and provide their feedback.

For more information about the current Public Test, read about it here:

The PT 0.8.4 runs until early Monday morning.

If we're talking about favorite OP's for the music

Devils' Line is probably my favorite. I was really looking forward to this anime but it ended up turning out like a mash-up of Twilight meets Tokyo Ghoul.

Deadman Wonderland

If we're talking about art style..

Kabeneri of the Iron Fortress

When They Cry

Hey Herr_Reitz, it's not uncommon for games of a same company to do cross promotional offerings or targeted promotions (you'll see us doing them with World of Tanks from time to time). This is part of our every day marketing efforts across multiple platforms. The idea behind this isn't for you to abandon PC to play mobile, but if you are a mobile game player (and many of us are) why not enjoy Ships in a different way?

The offer is certainly not for everyone, but giving away a few items is usually required to push people over the edge of installing and trying it out.

Folks we're going to go ahead and put the breaks on this one for now. If you see anything that is illicit please do report it to our Customer Support team who will be happy to review it: https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/

If you haven't seen it; check out the swag that you'll be receiving at the events:
