World of Warships Supertest – Changes to Test Ships

~ Veroxx

European destroyer Västerås, Tier VI:

  • Detectability ranges were increased:

    • By ships from 6.86 to 7.06 km;

    • After firing main guns in smoke from 2.44 to 2.51 km;

    • By planes from 2.9 to 2.99 km.

Effective main battery guns coupled with a relatively low detectability range made the ship very strong on her Tier. An increased detectability range will let enemies spot Västerås and disengage earlier.

World of Warships Common Test – Balance Changes

~ Veroxx ~ 3 Comments

We continue to work on improving the balance in our game. The following balance changes will be made in Update 0.9.1:

Japanese aircraft carrier Hakuryu. Tier X:

  • Fixed an error with the accuracy of the stock Attack Aircraft, which did not match the accuracy of the researchable Attack Aircraft. The accuracy of the stock fighters was lowered to the levels of the researchable ones;

  • Attack aircraft damage reduced from 3,450 to 3,350.

British cruiser Neptune, Tier IX:

  • Main battery reload time reduced from 5 to 4.8 s.

American destroyer Gearing, Tier X:

  • Stock torpedo tube reload time reduced from 106 to 103 s;

  • Researchable torpedo tube reload time reduced from 122 to 118 s.

WoWS Supertest – Patrol Fighters consumable, Loop and Bering Sea maps

~ Veroxx

There will be a closed test session for aircraft carriers in the Clan Battles format. The ‘Patrol Fighters’ consumable available to carrier-based plane squadrons will have the following changes applied to it:

  • Spotting range lowered from 20 to 5 km;

  • Time until the fighters begin chasing an enemy plane squadron reduced from 5 to 1 second;

  • Action radius increased from 3.5 to 6 km;

  • Time for fighters to appear after the consumable is activated increased from 6 to 15 seconds;

  • Fighters’ detectability range was increased from 7.5 to 12 km;

  • Action time of the consumable was increased from 60 to 90 s;

  • The consumable’s number of charges was increased from 3 to 6.

These settings will create a more intense interaction between aircraft carriers of opposing teams and will improve the cooperation between the aircraft carrier and its allied ships. Also the Patrol Fighters’ ability to perform reconnaissance will be lowered due to a reduced spotting range.

Testing will let us collect the necessary data to evaluate and determine our next steps.

Besides that, the maps Bering Sea and Loop have been updated after the last test and will be tested again.
