The French and Dutch flags look similar - but look closely and you’ll see that one condition is for French and the other for Dutch.

French Ships for the top condition. Dutch ships for the bottom condition.

@AlistairKionis correct. It's just multiplicative. Everytime you add or lose Detection, it is applied to the current amount in a multiplicative fashion.

Example:

10km Detection x .9 (Concealment Upgrade) = 9km Detection x .9 (Commander Skill) = 8.1km Detection

It was a question that was brought up. Our current intention is just to have Expendable Camos available for Credits.

It's worth remembering that you can sail with no Camo at all if you'd like. There will be no gameplay benefit from having a Visual on your ship other than the thrill of looking your best~

There is a saying "Never Say Never", so it would be foolish to say that in this instance. I never made comment that something is gone for eternity.

That being said, we're not currently planning on providing other forms of Permanent Economic Bonus other than the basic one. Details/specifics should go out at a later time for those seeking more information before the Changes happen.

Please don't feel pressure now because this is still a ways out. More information and specifics will be released at a later time. This DevBlog is to give foundational information/understanding of the coming System and the Conversion process.

The highest available Bonuses are used in "Merging".

If 100% XP is the highest available XP Bonus, it will be used for the Permanent Economic Bonus


If 100% Comm XP (from the 100% XP of the Type 10) is the highest available XP Bonus, it will be used for the Permanent Economic Bonus

I'm not aware of an "Upgrade" option to make an Expendable Visual into a Permanent Visual. Expendable Camos will simply be available for a small cost in Credits (25k for Common and more for Rarer ones).

The reduced cost for the ship's first Perma-Visual is only for the first Perma-Visual that the ship will have. So if you have a Permacamo now that converts into a Perma-Econ Bonus and a Perma-Visual, that would count as the "first Perma-Visual" for the ship.

I'll have to ask about that and get back to you. Specifics on Premium Ship purchasing and such isn't detailed in the DevBlog and wasn't a question asked in the meeting going over the DevBlog about Conversion and the new System.

In terms of Conversion, this is described in the DevBlog here:


The Gadjah Mada's normal Permacamo is:

Detection Reduction


Dispersion Increase


-10% Service Cost


+50% XP

From a Bonus sense, the -10% Service Cost converts into +5% Credits

Because +XP effects other resources in the current system, the +XP extends to those other resources in this example.

The Permacamo turns into:

+5% Credits


+50% XP


+50% Comm XP


+50% Free XP

---

I don't have specific information on what the Permanent Economic Bonus would be that's sold after Conversion.

There will be more information on this in the future because this is still a ways away.

Our intention is to have only a basic Permanent Economic Bonus that you can purchase for a ship. So yes, the non-standard Permacamo bonuses would not be offered for sale.

If a player has them prior to the change, the best options from the Permacamos that a player owns will be used and merged into the Permanent Economic Bonus that the player will keep after the Conversion.

NOT the way to make a post in the forums.

CV's have been in reworked form for about 3 years now. They've been in the game the entirety of WoWs' public existence. People have loved them and hated them, but making a profanity-laced post is not something we allow in the forums.

Please send the Replay to Customer Support, please. A player really has to try to make something like that happen :\

Not everything is tied to revenue generation. Sometimes things just need an overhaul in order to stay clean and running in good order.

When we update our visuals on water movement and map, that is not a direct revenue generator. It's a quality enhancement and adds value to our game. If our game is good, people will play it and revenue will happen.

Sure thing - ping me again if the reinstall does not help.
Also - please send me the results from the WGCheck in a private message

Well first, check your settings because "C" is very much the default key for it.
Other than that I don't know - there should be no problem if you are zoomed in.

Confirmed. We are only looking to sell base-version of Permanent Economic Bonus after the change. The Kobayashi's "enhanced version" of Perma-Econ Bonus would not be available.

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.

Without further ado, let’s proceed with Week 13!

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

1. Played the German BB line in Tiers 5-6
2. Played the French, British and Italian lines in low tiers (mainly cruisers but some BBs)
3. Got my first Kraken in randoms (!) at Tier 1 (sad face)

Focus Points of the Week
Unsurprisingly, my focus points for this week are largely the same as they were last week, as I still want to put a lot of time into my play in lower to mid tiers before I move on to tackling higher tier play:

1. Continued exploration of lines that I am not familiar with, namely French, British and Italian (the idea is t...

World of Tanks does use a Time-based Boost system. However, our intent is to create an Expendable Bonus system where Expendable Bonuses have a single redemption for a match (like Expendable Signals/Camos do now).

I have a question in to double-verify. This was brought up in the internal meeting where we were discussing the Conversion and how players may have access to a Permanent Economic Bonus from "merging" that would not be available otherwise (which would imply that only the base Permacamo-style bonuses will be sold going forward).

When I have updated confirmation, I will let you know. As for now, please assume that it will NOT continue to be available based on information given internally.
