WoWS PT, changes to the detectability range of fighters

~ Sebastianul ~ 1 Comment

Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary, subject to change during testing, and may not appear on the main server. Any final information will be published on the official portal.

Changes in “Patrol Fighters” and “Fighter” consumables:

  • The detectability range of all fighters now matches their spotting range and is equal to 18 km.

This change will eliminate cases where a ship could be detected by enemy fighters after a main battery shot was fired, while the fighters themselves remained undetected. In addition, the action zone of fighters will now be visible more consistently on the minimap, which will allow players to better plan their movements in battle.

The press service of WG stated that ” to date, the Minsk office of Wargaming is functioning normally.” However, ” employees have been granted remote access to the company’s resources so that they can work from home.” But this rule does not apply to everyone — only those whose work tasks allow it are offered to work remotely. “For each Department, the issue of organization of work is taken individually»,
— added the representatives of Wargaming.

They also said that the company ” indefinitely suspended all business trips of employees. From now on, the reception of candidates from other countries is temporarily suspended, and planned mass events (team building, training) are canceled.” At the same time, “wet cleaning is carried out daily in the offices, and dispensers with disinfectant are installed in the dining room. Last week, door handles were additionally disinfected, and each employee was given bottles of disinfectant.”
