Sneaky Rocks the lowest detectability in her tier, matched only by fellow Kagero-class destroyers

HSF Graf Spee – Tier VI  

High-Caliber Cruiser HSF Graf Spee doesn’t just pack serious heat; she’s loaded with biggest guns of any cruiser in the game!

Armed to the Teeth Big guns not enough? HSF Graf Spee‘s armed with secondaries and torpedoes that are downright devastating for her class and tier!

Anime Optional The anime look of both vessels comes from permanent camo included. Remove the camo and assign another commander of the ship’s nation for a less anime-flavored experience.

~ Sebastianul ~ 4 Comments

What to expect in Public Test 0.6.8?

The first session of the Public Test will be running from 06 July at 18:30 CEST until 10 July at 15:00 CEST (UTC+2). Keep in mind that this is a testing environment, and unannounced maintenance and patch deployments can happen at any time during the Public Test phase.

Because the version update is still being tested, the information in this Bulletin is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of publication. Certain changes and new features may be stripped or implemented in a different way by the time the final version of this update goes live. Screenshots, specific values of certain characteristics, and details of in-game mechanics will not necessarily be relevant after the update is released.

Very soon we’ll be launching a new in-game event called “Dunkirk”. We’ll offer you the first historic operation, a whole new collection, rewards, and even a new Port!

WoWS Q&A – 5th July 2017

~ Sebastianul ~ 5 Comments

Compiled by Allied_Winter (EU), questions answered by Sub_Octavian on Reddit.

Q1/2: How many 12×16 inch battleships on T10 is enough to stop spewing them out?
(yes, I’ salty about yet another Montanoid) SOURCE

A: Hi. Let’s keep the salt deep in salt mines for now. As you know, RN BBs are currently in testing, including Conqueror. She can be released with only one gun config, or with both. She can be released with or without Radar. The point of testing is to determine such things and to minimize substantial changes after release. BTW I’m sure you understand that 457 mm is not going to create Yamato effect. AP overmatch is 31.9 mm, while high tier BBs have 32 mm plating. But of course 457 mm config may be interesting in other respects. We will see…:)

Q2/2: Is there any chance that you will adjust the overmatch formula so that the cutoff for releveant overmatch thresholds doesn’t fall between two very similar in game calibers? Doesn’t make a lot of sense that a 460mm gun would be so much more effective in game than 457mm while in real life there would be no such distinction.

A: Never say never, but for now, I’d say “no, no chance”. Many things in the game make little sense if we judge strictly from IRL perspective.

Q: Does the MM choose the map based on the matchup? E.g. many DDs in a match, let’s go for a map that suits DDs more. Or is it completely indepentent and a map is choosen (more or less randomly)? SOURCE

A: MM map rotation is independent.
