Various Mashed-up WoWS News

Some are from Reddit, some are recieved on the TAP mail.

On new permanent camos:

Additional permanent camouflages from WoWS Public Test 0.6.0:
Japan: Aoba, Fuso, Nagato, Amagi
United States: Farragut, Independence, New Mexico
United Kingdom: Leander
Soviet: Budyonny
Germany: Nürnberg, Ernst Gaede, Bayern
All permanent camouflage from Tier 6 will be available except Ryujo & Colorado.
Permanent camouflage for T6 ships costs 1000 gold, with 30% experience bonus, 4% enemy shell accuracy decrease, and 3% concealment bonus.
However, rewarded permanent camouflage on “Santa Convoy” mission (Fuso, Farragut, Budyonny, Leander, Bayern) has 50% experience bonus, much better than ordinary permanent camouflage.

On Alabama ST:

The Alabama ST has only 63.300 hp, while Kurfurst has 105.000 hp.

PAEP320_Alabama_ST.collisionDamageNerf changed in second object (was 1.0, is 0.25)

Also it has some fire resistance
+exp
low detonation
+AAA efficiency.
Camouflage bonuses on Alabama ST:
  • Standard bonuses like other premium ships.
  • Special camouflage reduces ramming damage by 75%.
  • Special camouflage reduces detonation chance by 99%.

On the Fire Prevention Update:

Credits to Cyayangu:

Fire Prevention in 0.6.0 PTS was significantly buffed from before. In addition to the -7% chance of fire, now the skill merges the superstructure into one location for fires instead of two.

What this means is that setting two fires on the superstructure is no longer possible. This is now an amazing skill for BBs. This is what it normally looks like without Fire Prevention.

This is what it looks like with Fire Prevention.

The RPF Skill is Indeed Sector Based in 0.6.0 PT (source: lirg03):

French cruisers in WG’s New Year video?

Thanks to ViKing_6 for sending this to me:

I believe you have seen this video already:

But have you noticed in it many clues pointing towards French Cruisers?

First, the ship on the letter.

https://i.gyazo.com/43a7d6f83bb0193753a5e5bcf52b413e.png

As you can see, it has a French flag, with vivid colors when compared to the rest of the letter (intended to be seen?)
Now, even better : this drawing is not a random drawing of a random imaginary ship.
It represents a French Bougainville-class colonial aviso, such as the Dumont-D’Urville, which can be seen here :

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ajAGivth3fQ/TREL_Y5QueI/AAAAAAAAAnI/_u4lh_aw-Jc/s1600/5AMIRAL%2BCHARNER%2Brne10.jpg

Just compare.

And, last but not least, have you noticed in the pile of presents, some strange pack ?
Right here :

http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2016/52/1483193039-ship.jpg

No, not the Steven (Seagal ?) jacket, not the British anchor nor the PVE package… but the present with the Tricolore ribbon, and the Cruiser sign on it!

Could it be a hint on WG’s priorities for the year to come ?
