WoWS Q&A – 21st August 2015

Translated by Redditor kgskippy10.

  • Most asked about features are weather and Fleets/Clans
  • Weather will come in the game. Rain is something that happens frequently and will be added
  • Large waves will not be implemented. Not practical for gameplay
  • Bunch of balance changes including IJN Carrier nerf and later tier US DD buff.
  • Several difference reworks are being tried to counter players who run into the edge of the map. Big issue is the targeting system not working properly when ships slide along the line
  • Spotting system for Xp will be implemented in the future.
  • System involving tanking damage as well as covering allies in smoke will be worked on for XP
  • Subs are in consideration but no promises.
  • Original WOT name was Tankfield, and warships was an original plan and was considered before tanks.
  • He is supposed to be low skill ammo, AP high skill.
  • Fire chance and damage will be lowered on HE spam ships
  • Most likely” somewhere in the future there will be a light cruiser/heavy cruiser split
  • Cleveland will be up tiered when split happens to either tier 7 or 8
  • Premium Ammo is very unlikely. Is not “lore friendly”
  • More ship customization. Will appear “1 by 1” over a longer period of time. No specifics.
  • Numbers and information of the armor values and displays will be reworked. Problem before was misinformation,. For example, armor for a BB would be listed as 10 mm, which was not completely wrong but rather didn’t display how many layers of armor there was.
  • Trees are coming and making maps more pretty. And uh scale.
  • Devs want to reduce draws. Domination mode with 2 basses. Draws only happen in standard battles.
  • Warspite is the only ship in game that can restore damage from citadels :O
  • Changes to Ocean are coming
  • Ap causing floods is something that is being considered and discussed but will not be implemented for now
  • Flooding does not stack
  • Takao will come
  • Italy and France will come eventually
  • Strafe ability of fighters will be able to damage friendly planes
  • Kitikami was removed because it caused more teamkills than enemy kills
  • Bombers will be reworked at some point. AP bombs are being looked into
