Revision as of 19:17, 6 March 2017

Alternative Branch of Soviet Destroyers

We added an alternative branch of Soviet destroyers and made changes to some existing Soviet destroyers!

The game statistics for the destroyers Kiev, Tashkent, and Ognevoi prior to the update will be displayed separately from their stats after the update. We'll be doing a fresh restart of those ships, but Udaloi’s stats will remain unchanged because her tier has not been changed.

Main Branch Composition

The main branch has high-tier ships based on the "destroyer flotilla leader" concept of bigger, tougher ships which may also be more easily detected. These destroyers require Commanders to adapt beyond the usual stealth tactics common to destroyers — and they work well when constantly moving and firing from maximum distance.

To further emphasize the "brawlability" of this branch, Tashkent and Khabarovsk will gain the ability to mount the Repair Party consumable instead of the Smoke Generator consumable. These ships are ideal for team play, and can use the smoke screens set by allied ships while directly countering enemy destroyers.

Ships and Changes

Alternative Branch Composition

We're adding a sub-branch of multipurpose Soviet destroyers with their own useful features, available for research starting at Minsk. These destroyers may be more detectable, but their excellent main guns and decent torpedo armament let you lay down a withering barrage on the enemy. Ognevoi, Udaloi, and Grozovoi have dual-purpose artillery and can mount the Defensive AA Fire consumable instead of Engine Boost for a decisive advantage in anti-air firepower.

Ships and Changes

Balance Corrections

  • Alabama ST: The number of catapult aircraft in the ship's stock configuration was reduced from 4 to 3 for better historical accuracy.
  • Großer Kurfürst, König, Bayern: Error in anti-torpedo protection fixed, and will now always apply correctly.
  • Fubuki: Hull (B) fire chance in line with the rules applied to Tier VI ships.
  • Increased damage from HE-46 shells used by all Soviet destroyers Tier V and up, except for Gremyashchy, which already has 1,900 damage from HE-46) and 130mm HE A (Anshan) from 1,600 to 1,900. This makes Soviet destroyers more effective at fighting enemy destroyers, and a larger threat to cruisers.
  • Indianapolis: Decreased main caliber guns' reload time from 15 to 14.3 seconds. Also increased side plating armor for main locations of the ship above the citadel from 16 to 22mm. This armor will protect the central part of the cruiser's side from HE shell penetration by guns of 130mm or smaller, though the "Inertia Fuse for HE Shells" Skill is not accounted for. Such guns are on all destroyers (except for German Tier VI and VIII destroyers which have 150mm guns), on Atlanta and as secondary guns for many other ships.

User Interface

  • Added the option to display abbreviated ship names in the minimap, can be enabled in the minimap settings and will only function when the alternative battle interface mode is enabled in your Settings.
  • In the Ranked Battles screen, information about the number of battles played in the current season of Ranked Battles will now be available.
  • In the Summary tab, the number of battles will now be displayed instead of the win rate for the "By number of battles" filter and the "All warships" parameter.
  • If you purchase a ship without a Commander, a hint will display, informing you of the ability to retrain a Commander from another ship of the same nation or recruit a Commander later.
  • Added option to switch user music tracks during playback, using the following key combinations: (default) "Ctrl + F" — next track; "Ctrl + D" — previous track. Key bindings can be modified via the "Controls" tab.
  • Added option to specify your desired amount of Credits when exchanging Doubloons for Credits.
  • Changed background for "Solomon Islands" map loading screen.

Maps and Locations

New Maps

  • "Ring"
    • "Ring" is a group of small Pacific tropical islands like Hawaii, with a key group of ring-like islands in the center. These islands can provide reliable cover or become a deadly trap, so be on guard! Holding the "ring" is also important. If the enemy team takes it, you'll need to make a focused attack to drive them out. Be careful! You've got enough open space for comfortable firing at long range, but losing control of the islands leaves you vulnerable to torpedo attacks from the center! Available for battle tiers IV-VI in Standard Battle and Domination modes.
  • "Haven"
    • "Haven" is an archipelago of small, uninhabited islands in the Atlantic Ocean, at the fringes of the British Empire. Fight amid barren and beautiful islands formed by constant ocean winds. Heads up! Teamwork is key -- vital areas are hard to capture, while plentiful cover offers many opportunities for sneaky play. This map also offers the chance for sudden engagements and frequent close range encounters, so stay on your toes and choose your destinations carefully, especially if you're commanding a battleship! Available for battle tiers VII-X in Standard Battle and Domination modes.

Improvements and Fixed Minor Defects

  • "Hawaii" Port has been completely redesigned.
