On the previous article: https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2017/01/21/wows-0-6-1-equipment-changes/

These enhanced consumable equipments will take the other upgrade slots such as Concealment upgrade, Propulsion modification mod etc…
It’s a part of a “new/rare” Supercontainer drop, there is no way to obtain it beside Containers/Missions/Events. Chances to drop Signal flags and Consumables will be decreased by 60% upon introducing “Enhanced consumable equipments”.

WoWS Q&A – 22nd January 2017

Thanks to Tercept for compiling those.

source: https://www.twitch.tv/wargaming/v/116062668

Q: More Giant Torpedo Plushies when?

A: No answer. (Not repsonsible for them)


Q: BB Catapult Fighter time changes

A: Most players didn’t use it as a temporary tool, most used it to spot Torpedoes so it was changed so they only were launched when needed for defense


Q: Radio Location rational

A: Original ideas was to give players a tool for some scenarios (hunting DDs) Late game information when you don’t know where the remaining enemy is. Going to monitor how often the skill is chosen. Don’t expect it to be popular on live server. Useful to locate ships in smoke.


Q: VMF Split for Soviet DDs

A: Concept to split into two different styles (DD Leader vs DDs)

  • DD Leader deal more damage, less concealement
  • DD line will be more like classic DDs

Q: Preventive Maintenance

A: Affects modules that can be temp broken, main guns, torps, rudder, engine. Not Secondaries or AA mounts


Q: Plans for clan wars etc…?

A: Clan v Clan is not planned right now (still in stage 1) No more details other than available in 2017 video, 3 stages planned:

  • Bonuses for playing together
  • Clan v Clan
  • Metagame: Alliances, diplomacy etc…

Q: Does Adrenaline rush affect secondaries

A: No. It was the original design but didn’t make it this patch; planned to affect secondaries in a later patch.
