World of Warships Dev Tracker

Can you give me the Ticket #? I'm not sure about this but I can try to learn about it tomorrow.

This is a video that talks about the Survey Process if you'd like to know more.

Greetings Captains,

Welcome to this week’s edition of the New Player Captain's Log! For those of you who aren't sure what this is or what it might do, feel free to check out the introductory post here.

With each topic I discuss, I also added a question at the end to see how y’all feel about things in comparison to how I feel. I just thought it would be an interesting way to get some discussion going!

Without further ado, let’s proceed with this week’s Log!

Accomplishments
Here’s a list of personal milestones that I hit during the week:

1. Played a few games with @Boggzy on stream as a part of the NA Community Stream
Focus Points of the Week
Here’s a list of the focus points for this week:

1. Try out/refamiliarize myself with some Tier 7-9 ships

This week, I had the pleasure of joining @Boggzy on the NA Community Stream, which I hope to do more of i...

The Ping Indicator deviation was reduced to "up to 1km" away. If you saw something 5km away, that might have been a second Sub.

Also, doing so testing on the PTS seemed to show the indicator being close to or on-top of the sub with each use. The re-addition of the Visible Ping has made identifying ping usage might easier.

Update for folks speaking in this thread:

Discussion of GoT, Star Trek, and other media does not belong in this thread. I've hidden most of the full Derails. I ask that it does not return.



Discussion about what are or are not "Debate Concepts" and "Victory Conditions for Debate" do not matter in this thread. Leave "Debate Concepts" out of this thread, please.

Both of these derail topics will be removed if they return.

The in-game client tells you if you are at "Surface", "Periscope", or "Maximum" Depth.

If you are at Surface or Periscope, you are detected at full distance from Hydroacoustic Search.


If you are at Maximum, you are detected at 2km or less from Hydroacoustic Search.

Subs don't need a nerf, brother.

If folks won't trust my opinion as a WG employee - fine - but trust my opinion as a skilled player who has played this game at every level of competition: Submarines are not overpowered. Some aspects of them will need to be watched to make sure they allow proper counterplay, but they are not overpowered by any metric. If Erazer and I (who butt heads frequently ) both assert that submarines are not "overpowered" - there might just be something there.

Their only purpose to is clear snowflakes off of ships. Use 'em or Lose 'em~

Operating Depth was removed many Updates ago.

There are only:

Surface


Periscope Depth


Maximum Depth

The term "Maximum Depth" can be strange in the sense that you reach Max Depth before you've gone as far down as you can go. So, as another poster said, continuing to dive is like going to "Maximum-er Depth". Still, for game mechanic reasons, there are only the three "Depth States".

Unsporting Conduct is not the result of being Reported by other players.

You need to attack enemy ships with you planes and deal some damage during the course of the match. Having Zero Plane Damage done to ships will trigger the Unsporting Conduct penalty.

For a little bit of fun <3 Spinal Tap "This goes to 11"

The easier way to perceive "Max Depth" is "The submarine is at or below ##m". In the case of 30m and 60m, both are equally "Max Depth" in terms of "being below ##m" as long as that number (##) is less than 30m.

The three states can be thought of:

On the Surface (not dived)


At Periscope Depth (slightly dived)


At Maximum Depth (significantly dived)

There were around 10+ posts going back and forth describing the 3 different "Depth States" for Submarines that currently exist. There were questions about if a 4th state existed, how the states interacted with consumables, and how depths do or do not correlate with said Depth States.

Use of Operation Wolfpack answers all of those through play. There are Radar and Hydro consumables which are used by the bots, so depth states are a necessary part of succeeding in the Operation. While an Operation is not a PvP environment, information about Depth States and Consumable Interactions is independent of PvP.

To be fair, it was a fun Operation. Also, we need PTS feedback so it's a double-win to mention it here.

That's cool to hear.

Operation Wolfpack on the PTS has a variety of conditions that are required for 5-star. Correct use of depths and spotting mechanics are important for meeting the stealth objective, so it's a very effective learning ground for the mechanic-package.
