Developer SoaRen on the possibility of converting gold to doubloons (RU Forum).

Source: http://forum.worldof…85#entry3381985

The transfer of gold from tanks to doubloons is possible, provided the following conditions apply:

1). Gold purchased by the owner (it is not essential what was purchased, essential is the act of purchase), (TN: i.e. bought for real money alone, or as part of a bundle;)

2). Not gold awarded as prizes, offerings or gifts (e.g., in competitions);

3). The minimal amount of transfer: 2,500 gold/doubloons;

4). At least one month of inactivity in the game where the gold comes from, (TN: i.e. have not played tanks or planes since at least one month;)

5). One transfer per account only.

WoWS: TAP Insider News (30-III-2017)

-Kaga got her torps really fast (48 knots), her alt dropping bombs is extremely small, like you can hit almost 6 bombs on the Minekaze.

-Replaced Premium Ports for new ones.

-Added some texts for the clan interface.

-The French line testing is going way better than with the horrible RN floating citadel boxes.

Kaga’s planes die extremely fast, so when attacking, you need to think carefully before targeting someone even if their AA is horrible, and you must accept that you will lose lots of planes. This Premium ship requires more micromanagement skill than Saipan, don’t buy it if you haven’t played Taiho or Hakuryu before.

-Cat Isoroku was added as a ship commander (ASIA only, it will NOT come for NA or EU – this probably means the Haifuri collab will be ASIA-only too). Players can assign it to any Japanese ship (except ARP ones) without penalties. It is from the Haifuri anime and it cannot be dismissed. This captain has its own voiceover.

 

WoWS: HMS Hood Stats

Major thanks to Urakaze for translating.

*Please note that the following stats are subject to changes before it is released*

-HMS Hood has the 15 inch Mk.2 guns compared to the 15 inch Mk.1 guns on Warspite, which has slightly better traverse speed and better penetration capabilities (better ricochet angles 55 degrees (chance of bouncing)/ 70 degrees (autobounce) ).
-The 178mm UP rockets only have 1.5km range, but benefit from large-caliber AA gun air defense captain skills.
-Hood has regular BB repair team and damage control party.
-Hood in-game has no torpedoes.
-The game gives conflicting values for Hood’s armour, especially citadel armour, hence the historical value is used for now.
