Sandbox 2021: HE Shells and Artillery Combined Test Incoming!

Source: EU Portal

First, we’d like to express our gratitude to all the engaged and dedicated players who participated in testing the reworked HE shells and complex changes for vehicles and artillery. Thank you for your interest, commitment, comments, and feedback. You’ve done a tremendous job, and we highly appreciate it!

But now we need to brace ourselves and determine the format in which the reworked HE shells and changes for vehicles and SPGs will be added to the game. We’re entering the final stretch and launching the most important, combined pre-release test. At this stage, all our previous suggestions will be put together and take their almost-final forms. This is a decisive moment, Commanders—we’re counting on your support and engagement!

Sandbox
Combined Test: HE Shell Rebalance and Changes for Vehicles and Artillery

March 23 14:00 CET (UTC+1) through March 29 11:00 CEST (UTC+2)

If, by the end of our collective testing, we conclude that the changes can go live, you will likely be able to see them around May during the Common Test. They will be added to the game simultaneously as a single update. Now is your chance to make your voice heard and influence the way the new mechanics turn out!

As always, all active test participants will receive valuable rewards as a sign of our gratitude for their contribution. More on that below.

HE Shell Rebalance: Let the Final Test Begin!

Upon analyzing player surveys from the two previous tests, we can safely say that both Sandbox iterations showed good results. This is further confirmed by our statistics: for instance, after the testing of the reworked HE shells, more than 70% of reviews from players who played on the Sandbox were positive.

WoWS ST 0.10.3, new ships

American Tier VIII battleship Constellation, British Tier X destroyer Druid, Italian Tier X cruiser Napoli, and Commonwealth Tier VII battleship Yukon have been added to the game for testing.

Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. The final information will be published on our game’s website.

American battleship Constellation, Tier VIII:

The Lexington-class battlecruiser Constellation was laid down in 1920 with the prospect of becoming one of the largest battlecruisers of its time, but ultimately wasn’t completed due to the entry in effect of the Washington Naval Treaty.

In the game, Constellation is classified as a battleship, receiving 8 accurate 406-mm guns in 4 turrets and an unusual consumable for the class – a “Surveillance Radar” with a range of 10 km. at the same time, the ship has weak armor. Additionally, the ship is kitted out with 2 three-tube torpedo tubes, equipped with powerful torpedoes with a maximum range of 9.2 km.

The role of this battleship is to support allies with powerful fire at long and medium ranges.

British destroyer Druid, Tier X:

A “Super Destroyer” armed with universal 127 mm mounts developed in Great Britain in the early 1950s. Both two-gun mounts are located on the bow of the ship, allowing for its maximum firepower to be brought to bear without having to show broadside. Similarly to the British light cruisers branch, Druid can only fire AP shells that have a low fuse delay and excellent penetration angles, providing a minimal number of ricochets and over-penetrations. The destroyer has no torpedo tubes.

WoT – Top of the Tree: Grille 15

This Top of the Tree special puts you on the path of formidable German tank destroyers all the way to the intimidating X Grille 15 . The branch ranges from fragile but deadly mid-range supports to mobile snipers with formidable firepower at the top! Leave crushed enemies in your wake and advance all the way to the top to reach this gallant German destroyer.

Let’s not beat about the bush—the gun stats on the Grille 15 are extraordinary. The 63 caliber long, 150 mm gun can penetrate 279 mm of armor and will leave enemies wondering what hit them.

It’s stealthy too! Unleash havoc with penetrating rounds and then make the most of its good mobility and sneakiness to relocate. Just make sure to protect your fragile armor and avoid the hostile front line. Hang back from the heat of battle, find a strategic position, and start sniping.

Blast your way up the Tech Tree branch from March 20 at 06:00 CET (UTC+1) through April 20 at 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) and take advantage of great discounts and missions all the way to the top. Don’t forget that you can also purchase an extra boost if you want to speed things up with the XP bonuses!
