Hey guys, as mentioned in Sub's post a few things to note:
The Yamato armor model was started from scratch for the visual and the armor itself. Over the years our methodologies have changed (tech and production) so it will look a little different.
The Musashi is of course based on the old Yamato model which we understand isn't logical and the torpedo protection looks different.
The Musashi remodeling is still being discussed with an undetermined ETA, but at least 0.8.4. It will need to be done from scratch so will take a bit of time.
We do not believe this change will significantly impact gameplay. While yes the old Yamato had an extended bulge, the new model will no longer allow citadel damage from torpedoes in this area. This is replaced by bow/aft damage which can be healed a lot more easily than in the old model. We are of course watching data from it's performance from 0.8.2 to 0.8.3 and are interested to see how it performs.
We do acknowledge this was not clearly communicated in the patch notes and apologize for that. When a new model is designed in this method from an older model, the team is going to make every effort to check and recheck both armor and visual to ensure we avoid this in the future.
Apologies this thread wasn't updated, the information did come in but this slipped back quite a few pages. We're going to be more diligent to ensure we provide these responses as timely as possible in the future.
How has the Yamato performed after the update in your opinions?
