WoWS ST, Adjustment Firing mechanics & visual improvements

~ Sebastianul

In the near future we will be testing a new mechanics. It provides a certain temporary bonus to the ship for firing main battery salvos at the enemy ships.

Principle of operation

  • A player must have a lock on an enemy target;
  • While firing at this enemy, adjustment fire progress bar is filled by each salvo that hits the target or lands within a certain radius from it;
  • When the bar is full, a certain gameplay bonus, for example, a boost to main battery reload speed, is activated for a limited period of time;
  • This can be repeated several times during battle;
  • If the ship does not fire at enemies for some time, the progress bar is reset.

For now we don’t have a strict plan for using this mechanics and would like to test it first. Further steps with it will be determined after testing.

Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing.

Testing the display of consumable camouflages on aircraft.

In the near future, the display of consumable camouflages will be tested on squadrons, as well as on the aircraft from the “Fighter” and “Spotting aircraft” consumables.

WoWS: Changes in availability of several ships

~ Sebastianul ~ 4 Comments

Remind that in Update 0.10.5 several ships will no longer be available to obtain.

Starting from Update 0.10.5, the following ships will no longer be available to obtain:

  • VI Erich Loewenhardt
  • VI Admiral Graf Spee
  • VI T-61
  • VII Z-39
  • VII Nelson
  • VII Haida
  • VIII Asashio
  • VIII Lenin

The reason to remove these ships is the combination of their popularity and battle performance. In order to maintain the diversity of team compositions at a proper level, they will be removed for an undefined time, but may return in future.

We understand that accumulating resources for ships is a long process, which is why we wanted to warn you in advance, so that those interested can steer these ships into their Ports before Update 0.10.5 goes live in approximately two months.
