WoWS ST, Axis vs Allies

~ Sebastianul ~ 4 Comments

In the near future, we will conduct a closed test for a new battle type inspired by real-world naval battles. In the new “Axis vs Allies” battle, you will be able to fight only in ships that were completed in reality and in teams that are composed depending on each ship’s nationality.

Rules

Depending on the ship picked a player gets into one of two teams:

  • Axis: Italian, German, and Japanese ships
  • Allies: American, British, French, Soviet, European, and Pan-Asian ships.

The battles will be conducted in a “12 vs 12” format on Tier VIII ships. Only ships that were built in reality, as well as their in-game counterparts (such as Black, ARP, Azur Lane ships and etc.) are allowed to enter battle. If you dislike the appearance of camouflages of counterpart-ships, you can switch their display off using a special filter in the Port.

List of allowed ships:

Sandbox 2021 FAQ

~ Sebastianul ~ 22 Comments

Source: EU Forums

Everything is confusing, we have to spend a lot of time to transfer the crew and everything takes a long time. Will there be any simplification for those who have many crews and tanks?

The tips system will help you choose the best skills. Then, once you are more familiar with the system, it will not take you that long to reset the crew. Crew transfers will be made manually for each specific vehicle separately and the players themselves will be involved in the process. It may not look very comfortable and simple, but we don’t want to make decisions for you regarding the transfer of your crew. Only the players themselves should decide. In manual crew conversion, the total experience of all crew members in the vehicle is divided by the number of all members. As a result, the new crew will receive their average value of all the experience gained by the old crew. Depending on the amount of experience, the new crew will immediately gain a certain level of crew and benefits that correspond to this level. This ensures that experienced crews retain their experience in the new system.

It was difficult for many players to have 6 or 7 abilities, let alone 13. Now five skills will be transferred to a new crew with 75 points. Does training this crew for 5 abilities takes as long as 75 points?

Yes, but not quite. We introduced new features as a bonus to the Instructor’s crew experience and the use of the free experience that now affects the entire crew, not just one crew member as before. Accelerated crew training now also affects the entire crew, not just one crew member.

What happens after reaching 75 points?

After investing level 75 in you will no longer gain skill points and the commander will unlock the elite procedure (professional qualification). With each new level of professional qualification, the crew gains a smaller increase in vehicle handling. In most cases, however, it is a symbolic increase for a well-trained crew.

The personal training manual with 850k XP has been converted to 250k XP. Why?

Sandbox Test: Crew 2.0 – FAQ

~ Sebastianul ~ 23 Comments

Source: EU Portal

The second iteration of a series of upcoming Sandbox tests has begun. This time, we are putting a reworked crew mechanic system to the test: Crew 2.0.

If you would like to participate, download the Sandbox test server client and begin experimenting with the new feature. We need your support and feedback for the test to be a success.

But before you jump in, we would like to clarify several details, quell any concerns, and answer a few of your frequently asked questions.

Crew 2.0 mechanics and changes

1. Why did you decide against adding new perks and skills, as many players suggested, and opted for reworking the crew system?

The current crew system in the game has not been changed for a very long time (since 2012) and it became obvious that a number of mechanics and aspects of the crew system needed improvements and changes. The main directions in which we plan to develop the crew system are:

  • improvement of the user experience when interacting with the crew system,
  • Increasing the variety of skills and perks (talents),
  • creating a transparent progression system with clear and achievable goals,
  • improving the interfaces and crew management tools.

To bring these ideas to life, we looked at a number of solutions. In the end, they all turned out to be “half-measures” that didn’t radically change the situation. So, we decided not to focus on specific aspects, but to completely rework the current crew system.

2. Is there a release date?

There is no precise release date for Crew 2.0, at the moment. Currently, the most important and highest-priority task is to collect feedback from the players who tried out the suggested system in the Sandbox test. Play the game, share your feedback, complete questionnaires—your feedback will form the basis on which the future of Crew 2.0 will be built.

3. Can you briefly describe how the new crew system differs from the old one (i.e. Sixth Sense, variability, interfaces, etc.)

1. A vehicle’s crew will now be represented by a single Commander in the Garage, but everything will remain unchanged in battle.

2. The skill system has been reworked with Training Plans, new skills, and talents.

3. A new game entity (Instructors) has been added.

In addition to these changes, a number of aspects will become more comfortable and convenient for players—all Commanders will have the Sixth Sense perk by default, a crew will be able to “remember” up to 3 vehicles of the same nation and class, there will be a wide variety of skills as well as the ability to unlock and improve several skills at the same time, etc.
