~ Sebastianul ~ 26 Comments

We are continuing to improve Premium vehicles, and the following set of vehicles will soon be sent to the Supertest. Despite their different nations, they all have American origins. Their roles in battle are pretty similar, which means the nature of their changes is also similar: they are meant to improve firing comfort and, in some cases, firepower itself. You can find the list of changes below.

Damage per minute from 1,895 to 2,051

WoT on Steam – Update

~ Sebastianul ~ 39 Comments

We kindly inform you that after a week of being available on Steam, only 35% of the World of Tanks reviews are positive. The negative reviews keep piling up each day. No doubt, it’s a massive review bombing campaign by the former players against the game and the problem isn’t the number of negative reviews, but the fact that the playerbase is very angry.

That 35% is likely a beacon of crisis for the game, and a sign that it is far from what it used to be. We can only hope that things will change for the better.

„Happy players”

WoWS – Waterline: Submarines, Superbattleships, and other news.

~ Sebastianul ~ 3 Comments

We’re here to share some info about new content that will be landing in-game in the near future.

Submarines

Submarines have come a long way: Since the announcement in the summer of 2019, we’ve gone through three tests, a temporary “Submarine battle” event on the main server, and again a test on a separate server in October 2020. During this time, a lot of feedback and statistics were collected, on the basis of which changes have been made to almost all the mechanics associated with the new ship type:

  • Oxygen meter replaced by battery charge;
  • Updated sonar ping;
  • Added Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities to a number of battleships and cruisers;
  • Changed diving mechanics.

These and many other improvements have been made based on test results, but work is ongoing, and today we will share further plans and upcoming changes.

WoWS PT 0.10.4, balance changes

~ Sebastianul ~ 4 Comments

The changes will be applied to Thunderer, Stalingrad, Flint, and other ships. Further changes will be made to Tiger’59.

Having analyzed combat performance and taken player feedback into account, we’ve changed the characteristics of several ships, including special ships Thunderer and Stalingrad. These changes were required in order to carefully adjust the balance of the mentioned warships. As usual, we’ll monitor the impact of the changes and the general balance of the ships and apply changes if deemed necessary.

X Thunderer:

  • Main battery firing range reduced from 23 to 21,5 km.

X Stalingrad:

  • Action time of the «Surveillance Radar» consumable reduced from 25 to 20 s.
