WoWS: Fate of ARP Ships

Thanks to Babykim, EU

On the fate of ARP ships by developer kindly

It will not be possible to obtain the ARP ships after 2016, and the Yokosuka port will not be available in the client. All ships available to the player will remain in port, selectable using a carrousel filter. The filter will function as the Yokosuka port, i.e. selecting would allow the player seeing the ARP camouflage and effects in port as well as in battle, unselecting the filter will hide the ships in port and give them historical appearance in battle.

I am sorry if this is well-known (posted on 16.11), but I have missed it.

-The Marketing Department does not know what to do with the Krupp-Steyr Waffentrager and does not want to „shoot itself in the knee again”, as was was the case with the popular „hamster with a hammer” – E-25.

WoWS Q&A – 22nd July 2016

Thanks to Carnotzet.


1. This must be a joke. In 10 months, I managed to gain 1 million commander’s xp and here you’re asking me to gain 2.5 millions. You’re kidding me right ?

Pe7jygFPcvQ.jpg

A. It is not a joke, it is a tough economy. We are not pleased with it as well. That is why in patch 0.5.9 (that is currently undergoing public testing), we have set a limit to the experience needed for commanders retraining without paying or for credits. In the current test configuration, the limit is set at 100k and 50k, respectively.


2. I received 10 camouflages type 6 as reward for my progress in ranked battles. I was quite happy to equip them. However, after a certain time, it got worse. By activating auto resupply, it got through the 10 “free” camouflages and then started to buy them for doubloons. It is rather easy to miss the moment when one’s stock is depleted. Would it be possible to give me back my 100 doubloons ?

A. I am afraid I cannot give them back since you already purchased the product.

However, there are good news coming : in patch 0.5.9, we have split the button for auto-resupply and auto-purchase. That way, we will avoid situations where players lose doubloons or credits inadvertently.


Bonus from 0.5.9 bulletin thread.

  • Warspite should sit slightly lower in the water in patch 0.5.9

WoWS Q&A – 5th April 2016 – Saipan Coming on 11th April

NikoPower, NA CC said:

„I promised you all I would get you information as I received it. So here it is, the information you’ve all be waiting for. Forget all that fun stuff I said above. The release date for the Saipan is APRIL 11th! Keep an eye on the forums for the full information on the Saipan on Friday.

There is NO RESTRICTION on buying the Saipan. You want it, you got it!”

Back to the normal Q&A.

From Babykim and Carnotzet, EU.

Here is some information from developer Vallter_ thread on RU forum:

1). Thousands WoT players have been invited (lured with 10m fee experience 25m credits), but only about one hundred came;

2). If this promotions sees success (however success in this retarded promotion is to be defined), veteran WoWs players will get (similar?) gifts;

3). Non commercial aimbot is broken. Commercial is still being worked on. The developers cannot exclude a resurrection in the future, but each iteration of this arms race makes it more difficult to make a working aimbot. The main thrust is to block the third party software used by the aimbot;

4). Big update 0.5.5 is coming at the end of April (no details).

More diverse death and sinking animations will be added in one the next major updates.

They once talked about adding tier 9 ships to team battles. The matter is still being discussed since there are many aspects to be taken into account before implementing it.
