“German aircraft carriers. Part 2”

German aircraft carriers will become available for research in the tech tree in Update 0.9.7. A collection consisting of 36 elements dedicated to the German navy is also added. The reward for completing the collection is the ability to mount two flags and alternative camouflage patterns on German ships. The first element of the collection may be obtained from a “German Navy” container, and subsequent elements may be collected from either these same containers or from daily containers—as long as the relevant “collect” button is enabled in the collection screen.

WoWS ST, detectability with AA firing

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

Soon there will be a closed test for changes to the detectability settings:

  • A ship’s detectability range by air is now equal to the maximum firing range of her AA guns for a period of 20 seconds after her AA guns cease firing;
  • The detectability range by air of all destroyers is halved.

This change affects detectability only in situations where enemy aircraft are within the range of a ship’s AA defenses. It won’t affect ships that have a detectability by air higher or equal to their AA range. This system will allow a significant increase in stealthiness for destroyers that turn their AA off: the ship will only be visible from a 1.5 – 2 km range and planes will have little time to set up a good attack run. At the same time, opportunities for attacks against ships that keep their AA on will remain the same.

WoWS: Results of Clan Season IX: Warrior’s Path

The recent season was quite significant both for players and the development team: for the first time, aircraft carriers participated on equal terms with other classes. We thank everyone for your participation and feedback. Despite some challenges, the outcome of this season was very important for determining changes to upcoming seasons.

Let’s break it down:

Battles in Squall, Gale, and Storm leagues included the best elements of past seasons, but with the addition of aircraft carriers. The participating clans tried various tactics and lineups using all available ship classes, which had a good influence on the total number of participants, as well as their overall impressions. While the current global situation led to an overall higher player count, the season turned out to be more popular not just in general numbers but also in relative numbers than previous seasons. The dynamic of these battles came close to what we ultimately want to achieve: clans are not limited in their choice of setups, can choose any ships, and apply various tactics; and the basis for victory is a carefully planned strategy and team skills.
