WoWS ST: Z-35, German aircraft carriers

~ Sebastianul

Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary and subject to change during testing. Showcased features may or may not end up on the main server.

German destroyer Z-35, Tier VIII.

At the moment, the concept of Z-35 involves the following features:

  • 128 mm guns with good rate of fire. HE-shells have low maximum damage, but a high penetration capacity of 32mm, and AP shells have high maximum damage;
  • Low torpedo range;
  • Good amount of Hit Points;
  • No “Engine Boost” consumable;
  • “Smoke Genrator” consumable similar to British destroyers, with a high number of charges and fast reload.

In terms of gameplay, Z-35 –like other German destroyers– is versatile. Because of the availablilty of “Hydroacoustic Search”, a fast “Smoke Generator” reload, good main caliber guns, and a large Hit Point pool, the destroyer is capable of fighting for key areas as well as battling almost any opponent. However, lacking the “Engine Boost” consumable makes it hard for her to immediately change position in case of danger.

Z-35 is now a Tier VIII ship.

The concept of German aircraft carriers implies AP rockets and bombs, slow torpedoes with high damage, and planes with high speed and relatively low HP pools.

Detailed characteristics:

German destroyer Z-35, Tier VIII:

Hit points – 19,100. Plating – 19 mm.

WoWS ST, free Premium consumables

~ Sebastianul ~ 9 Comments
Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary and subject to change during testing. Showcased features may or may not end up on the main server.

With the release of Update 0.9.4, Premium consumables will become free and standard consumables will be removed from the game. Thus, there will be only one type of each consumable, with the parameters of the current Premium versions.
This change will significantly reduce the number of credits spent after every battle and make the game more comfortable for those who cannot afford using premium consumables all the time.

Premium consumables in the Inventory, as well as those mounted on ships will be automatically converted to credits. “More Consumables” containers will no longer be available. Any of these containers you have on your account will be exchanged for 160 000 credits. In other containers and rewards, Premium consumables will be replaced with signals.
