A Steel Camo is a Tier 10 Permacamo with a Steel paintscheme.

You will receive a Permanent Economic Bonus which the best Bonuses available from the Permacamos on that ship. The Steel paint scheme will be a Perma-Visual available on the ship whenever you choose to use it.

The unfortunate reality is that it is required with a game that is a complex as ours. Because we don't design ship balance around mirror-matches, the balancing is found through finding sweet-spots that work out amongst all the chaos that is a random selection of 500+ ships being crammed into a map with a time limit. It's just not something that you math out beforehand and then do some bug testing on.

Ships are easier to balance because we have similar concepts which have lasted for years. We have tons of data to extrapolate from when starting a new Cruiser concept, so testing is relatively short in just making sure it can sit amongst its peers. Submarines being an entirely new concept require a LOT of interactions to figure out what sort of foundational principles they need to operate off of.

The good news is that they are still in Testing. It can be frustrating dealing with an unfinished concept, but keeping them in testing allows us to make rap...

There's plenty of criticism. I could point you in the direction of several threads or posts that disagree with us on a variety of topics. Disagreement is normal and healthy.

Moderation is fairly light. About 1-2% of the stuff on here gets Moderated, which is around 5-15 posts a day at most. Some days there's no moderation at all, even though we have over 700+ posts.

There has been a LOT of work to address Attack language, though. People that like to fight and berate others are stopped quickly, so a lot of that has faded away because it's just not tolerated to any extent. The faster it's addressed, the less likely it is to be repeated.

This isn't correct at all. We have players that have a variety of different aspects of our game that they engage in.

We have an upcoming Collab with Azur Lane which is primarily a PvE game with matches that last under 2 minutes. It's primarily about having a fun gameplay loop and enjoying the feeling of progress. Co-Op provides a similar experience in our game of a short, action heavy game-mode which progresses a player with XP and other resources.

If anyone has something about her history that's being missed, please bring it up.

She has a Heal which reflects her long service.


She has a special Defensive Fire consumable which absolutely means business.

Is there another aspect of her history that needs to be highlighted?

The biggest problem with stuff that's in testing is how quickly math becomes invalidated. It can be tough to drill down into something only to see something else happen shortly after.

Missing Clan Bonus stuff will be included when the Second Sprint Rewards are sent out! It'll be handled at the same time.

Asked a question for an update. Will let you know when I hear back!

When the Conversion happens, the Best Bonus for each type will be used for whatever Permacamos you have available. In the case of the Kobayashi camo, the bonuses are simply better than the standard Permacamo. As a result, the Kobayashi bonuses will be retained as the player's Permanent Economic Bonus when doing the Conversion.

You don't need to purchase it now, but folks that have stronger-than-normal bonuses because of special/rare Permacamos will retain those stronger-than-normal bonuses. This change is not supposed to harm any player.

Avalon answered this correctly,

We are not planning to be offering non-standard Permanent Economic Bonuses after the change. The Kobayashi Visual may still be for sale after the Conversion, but the higher-than-normal Economic Bonuses will not be.

We know how important this is to people. We got out a massive amount of information as soon as possible because of that importance. We want to keep folks informed.

We are still in the process of working on the UI, so this is not something which is just around the corner. There will be more information and communication on this topic.

Don't be too worried. A sledgehammer that size is required when Godzilla is threatening to show up.

We've already had a few weeks of testing data to work with and this change is reflective of what we've seen.

We are looking to have a follow-up to the recent DevBlog. This change is still a ways away, so please don't feel pressured to make any changes now or soon.

It may be possible that something gets overlooked and rewards are overly generous to the players. If that happens, the world will continue to spin~ Currently we are expecting players to receive up to 50% more value than they currently have through the Conversion, which is intentional to avoid issues as best as possible.

I am locking this thread.

The San Diego had balance changes applied to it based off performance and feedback from our testers. To be clear - she was overperforming. Not even a little bit. A considerable amount. I'm sure you will hear many stories when the ship comes off of NDA. Unfortunately the CC's and testers are not able to comment until that time is up, but I have more leeway to clarify why these changes were made.

It is perfectly fine to have an opinion about upcoming changes. It is not alright to blatantly misrepresent something. You assert that SD is worse at combating DD's and compare it to 4 other ships based on DPM alone, not factoring in ballistics, range, flight times, or penetration values. For someone that people look up to, this is an egregious oversight bordering on misinformation and misuse of trust. You've stated multiple times in multiple threads that you don't like how we are doing the San Diego and it is perfec...

Luckily enough I had the bot delusion squashed for me relatively early, so I definitely did NOT want to pretend I did something impressive here, haha.

Please remember that we have a Tier 6 Premium that can be unlocked in this Update through a Collection that was added.
