World of Warships Dev Tracker

Hey Captains,

I see a few questions about the acquisition method that will be used for the upcoming ships. Keep an eye on the Developer's Blog for those type of announcements!

Question: Of the recent Developer's Blogs which one has you most hyped?

Hey Raigoth,

The Lenin is at its strength in medium to close range engagements. The long range accuracy suffers because of the weakness of the dispersion at long range. You really want to get yourself into a position that you can control the engagement at medium range. You can definitely hit shots at longer ranges but you will not be able to do this as reliably as BBs from other nations. The major advantages that the Lenin has going for it include: 3 forward facing turrets, good bow armor and the ability to tank decently.

Tips:

Positioning is important with the Lenin because of the turret arrangement. Make sure you are angling correctly and you will be able to fire your front 3 turrets effectively.


The AA on the Lenin is not that great, so keep that in mind when you are positioning. You may want to stick within range of some help.


Take advantage of its bow armor when you are engaging other sh...

Hey,

The other commander is the winner of "The Ring" contest on the CIS server.

Hey everyone,

Sorry I have not posted any helpful guides this week, I will post at least one new one next week!

We will cover nation overview and highlights. If I have time I will also cover positioning and early map movements.

Hey Keller13,

Short answer: Yes.

Concealment Expert is still one of the most important commander skills in the game imo. This skill is more than just keeping you hidden at the beginning of the match but it allows you to maneuver around the map at closer ranges. Let us go over the positives and negatives of Concealment Expert. There are builds and certain ships in the game that concealment expert might not be as relevant on but it is still a very strong skill. This should be a commander skill that you consider going into any build.

Positives:

Your ships will have a lower detectability range to the enemies.


You have a better chance at disengaging from enemy ships and staying undetected.


DDs should definitely take this skill (There are a few exceptions that don't necessarily need it like Khabarovsk).


Having the ability to better control the engagement is alwa...

Hey Edgecase,

The translation is as followed and it is in the order from left to right:

As some of you may remember from his post on Reddit/Forums, our very own Sub_Octavian is visiting the North American office of World of Warships. While he's here working with us over the next few weeks, we have a couple of exciting opportunities for you to participate in.

First, we'll be hosting a Livestream on June 7th via Twitch which will feature our usual gameplay, a visit from one of our Community Contributors, and a Q&A with Sub_Octavian. Stay tuned for details on how to submit your questions to us!

Also if you are in the Austin area (or within traveling distance) we'd like to invite to join us for a meet and greet on Saturday, June 1st at 2:00 PM. You'll have an opportunity to not only meet members of the World of Warships staff but Sub_Octavian as well. Let us buy you a drink (must be 21 for alcohol), share your thoughts on the game, and join other members of the community for a great time.

Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary.

The following testing represents a new format of battles for clan players. The main difference from the standard Clan season is that 'brawl' teams will fight for one day only. Rankings of the participating clans will be determined only by the number of wins gained.

In addition to that, Ranked Sprints will be back in the upcoming update. Players will be able to participate in two seasons with tier VII ships.

There are two game modes: Domination for the first season and updated "Epicenter" for the second.

Throughout the upcoming update, we continued to work on damage mechanics. Now, if you hit and penetrate torpedo bulges, but don't penetrate the next layer of armor, a special ribbon will be handed out for shells, bombs and rockets.

These new ribbons will clear out what type of hit has been inflicted on the ship, without affecting the performance and survivability of some ships. Also, 10% of the maximum damage of the shell will be inflicted in cases when "Penetration" ribbon was received after Secondary Armament or AA Defense guns penetration and in case of hit and penetration to a completely destroyed part of the ship.

Shells that hit destroyed Secondary Armament modules will now pass through and impact the ship, rather than hit for no damage as it used to be. Improvements in mechanics will reduce the number of cases when the "Penetration" ribbon was re...

Heyo Captains,

As OP did, running a check and repair is the solution in this case. Modification packs can cause clashes with game files and in this case this may have been the case.

Fem,

That is the stance of all WG staff, we care about balance on a wide scale.

We are currently investigating accessibility on a wide scale of possible issues. I know I'm not alone in this issue and we of course want the game to be accessible to as many people as possible.

Hey, lets keep things respectful. Both iChase and Notser have done considerable good for the community over the years, but as with anyone, you don't have to agree with everything they may say.

Lets keep the discussion productive and constructive and free from insults.

In regards to a few comments I'm catching in here asking where are those defending/speaking for CVs. It would be a good time to mention that just because this thread primarily covers complaints against CVs, when we receive feedback on anything from the community in mass, we don't take it on face value, we will drive into the related data relat...
