Time to put on the ol' Konception charm!

Now THIS is an important distinction. I am definitely not doing enough to try and predict where torps might come from. This is a big struggle for me.

I need to get my hands on an Alaksa. I have heard nothing but good things!

Both are excellent tips that I can hope to keep in mind next time I see those fish swimming towards me. Thanks!

Exact stats and information will still be available in the way it is now. You can use the Show in Port button:

That takes you to a screen where you can look at the Port Stats:

Plane attacks have two timers:

Preparation


Recovery

When you click the attack button, you have to wait [Preparation Time] seconds before you can attack. After you attack, there is a small attack animation. After the animation ends, you have to wait [Recovery] seconds until you can start your next attack.

If the Weser planes are slow enough to spot you, start an attack, and then drop their ordinance before overflying you than that's something to factor into your play. It could be that your DD has more Air Detect than other DDs. It could also be worth sailing toward the planes so that the time between you being spotted and the planes overflying you is made shorter. You can force overflys in that sense.

The flags you choose don't have to have bonuses... because the Flag Bonuses will be permanently applied to your account. They will affect every ship in every game you play.

This is not correct. I posted a video where the only way I could cap was to avoid detection because the German rockets need a long distance for their wind-up.

There is an amount of time between starting an attack and being able to actually attack.

The math can be frustrating, but this topic has been vetted rather extensively over the past months.

I have heard some decent things about Bismarck, but I am only at the Tier VI in the line myself. I wonder if this will be the next line I complete, or something else.

Yes, there will be two options offered where Expendable Bonuses will be available for direct purchase. They are similar to current, but there are differences as the new Tier 1 and Tier 2 Bonuses make for different returns.

We have plenty of articles and devblogs explaining every last detail, along with multiple forum threads where we've gone over these changes.
I'm sure folks will be scared and frustrated, but we'll be hanging out to answer questions

You can break larger Bonuses into smaller Bonuses in the Inventory screen.

This is mentioned in the recent article: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/general-news/exterior-visuals-and-economic-bonuses/

Because we are doubling the amount of Free XP that players earn.

The rate that Free XP is being accrued by players is being doubled.

Current:

1,000 XP -> 5% Free XP = 50 Free XP

New:

1,000 XP -> 10% Free XP = 100 Free XP

-

Since the base rate of Free XP earning is being doubled, we are counting the Free XP Signals at half value (to even them out) and then Converting them into the new system from there.

Current system uses a 5% conversion rate for Free XP. The new system doubles that to 10%.

So current 777% is 388.5% in the new system, which rounds up to 400%.

Our Conversion process will remove Camos and Signals from ships, so this is already set to be automatically done.

The Website Tool uses raw inventory data from your account, so it doesn't factor in "equipped" items. This isn't an issue for the actual Conversion, though.

As a person that is known internationally for teaching CVs, please understand that I know CV is harder than people give it credit for. There is a learning curve and the controls can certainly be overwhelming. However, in a live game, a CV is expected to do at least 1 damage with planes.

There are resources that I and others have made that can provide assistance on how to make that happen.

I don't have a super list, no. It'll all be shown in the client in a few days anyway.

In general, Special Camos are not attainable normally, so Ranked Camos (Bronze, Silver and Gold) and Collab Camos would certainly qualify under that concept.

Those 6 Bismarck Visuals will continue to be available on your Bismarck whenever you want to use them. The Bonus Package will be active on the ship so you'll get bonus rewards whether you use a Visual or not.

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!
