• Fixed issue with Omaha service, made it equal to service of other tier V ships
• Saipan and Nikolai I Credit profitability increased by 7% and 5% respectively

Reddit-Q&A with Sub_Octavian
About the PvE and Carrier economics
Hi, you’re welcome. Co-op players: we applied heavy maintenance reduction for PvE this week. It should be fine now. CVs: we do not expect CV players to go and tank damage. Actually, new income structure was developed upon real server stats per ship individually. For example, all CVs are not very good in tanking or capping – that’s obvious, and we did not set valuable share of these activities for them. But some ships inside a class may differ too. Pensacola and Myoko have different “tanking” stats, so they were adjusted accordingly. That said, we notice all negative CV feedback on the changes. And currently we are researching this matter to see whether any tweaks are needed. CV AS: AS gameplay is different, and we do not expect all players to love it. But we encourage it, because it was completely unbalanced against Strike gameplay economically while being quite contributive. The goal of new economy is to make the game better, and to encourage active and engaging gameplay. If we find any problems with that, we will fix it. There was no intention to nerf CV. At most, some CV may have started to earn as much as other ships of the same tier (which is fair). Economy changes are designed for better connection between active team play and reward. This change may cause some players to earn less in some cases, and we’re analyzing the data we receive to see whether action is needed. We are planning to publish “debriefing” article on economy changes with some thoughts and information. So, stay tuned.
About the inclusion of the “fresh water storage” and “cold storage” in the citadel hitbox of the Warspite
The part you are talking about is included in the citadel because it was valuable initially (torpedo armament storage) and it is protected accordingly:
25 mm citadel deck you mentioned; 32 mm deck you cannot see in port viewer currently (it is bow internal deck); 152 mm belt (you can see a part of it behind anti-torpedo bulge; 102 mm transverse (in game 102 mm layer is a sum of several IRL bulkheads); It is located underwater and extremely hard to hit.
Most part of damage to Warspite is bow/aft/casemate/superstructure, so this part does not play a vital role in ship in-game performance. On the other hand it is logical to be included in the citadel, remembering its initial function and armor (these are two main criteria).

„Hey guys!
I’ve checked with our producers and the König Albert will be sold this year in the EU region. In their FB post our German colleagues only meant that until the ship arrives in the premium shop people can still win the ship in contests and tournaments and the ship will be credited on their accounts as soon as the ship enters the shop. Our contributors get access to preview ships before they enter the shop, that’s why the EU contributors haven’t got a chance yet to try out the ship. I know that this is not ideal in this case, but this is something we have to discuss internally with our contributors.”

We have received feedback from our PvE players that the recent economic changes have widened the gap between the earnings and the now static repair costs in PvE matches. Our economy calculations were designed mainly for PvP and it is possible that the change could have an unintended effect on battles played in PvE. While we’re investigating the matter and deciding on a further course of action, we have decided to return approximately 50% of the static repair cost as a bonus to the credits you earn for each battle played in PvE only. We hope this will help mitigate any negative effect the recent economy changes might have caused until our investigation is over and we arrive at a permanent solution.
If you have any further questions please leave them in this thread and we will try to get you answers to them.
Thank you!
