Update 0.6.1 scheduled for tomorrow (8 Feb).  Lots of changes...

Thank you - and omg reducing spotting range on Pensacola! That will make life a little better. Grinding through her and it is...painful.

Should've done that a year ago.   

Now if they'd increase the comparatively low HP on the T8 and T9 US cruisers...

Valentines Day camo for ships.

Up there with the ARP ships for ugly stupidity.

OK, the Russian DD line split will happen with the 0.6.2 update scheduled for March 6th.

You may want to add a Russian DD or 2 to your port as the split will be similar to the IJN DD line split in that you can end up with a 2-for-1 deal and some credits to boot.  More info here.

^good advise Steve. Thanks for the heads up.

What line did the Japanese split start? I forget, V?

[steve58]

Yup IJN split started at V, and then WG went and nerfed some of the lower tiers too  >:(

IJN split prompted me to buy the Kamikaze, to replace my beloved nerfed Minekaze.

You did ok last night, I'd say.  As a BB guy, too many DD's and can't keep up with the armament ranges, etc. with all the nerfing/buffing, etc.  Just load and HE and blast em.

Due to Tuna's suggestion, I have spent WAAY too much time grinding the Soviet DD line today...made it to halfway through the Tier 4.

Should be able to reach the Gevny tomorrow and then the split gives me the new T5 DD, plus the Gevny upgraded to T6.

So it really wasn't a waste of a day stuck to a PC screen...was it???

Bad Tuna.

Actually really bad Tuna, watching the 'video' on the Split, it looks like it's not the same as the Japanese one.. it's going to happen at the higher tiers.. VIII, IX and I think X.. I'm grinding my Kiev trying to get the tier VIII one.

If I understand correctly, this one is a bit more complicated than the Japanese one.

The T5 (Gevny) gets replaced at T5 and becomes T6. T5 becomes a new ship, the Podvoisky.

The old T6 (Ognevoi) now moves to be T8 (!) in new line.

The old T7 (Kiev) becomes T8 in "old" line.

T7 becomes a new ship, the Minsk.

So basically if I read correctly, if you have a T5 or above you will get a bonus.

A bit convoluted. But hey, is fun. My first Soviet ships...the torpedoes aren't so impressive, but guns are very accurate.

Thanks.. I guess I'll buy back my tier V and VIs then!

[Shelldrake]

I bought back my tier 5 and already have the 7 and 8 so should make out ok when the Russian dd line splits.   O0

You're a big ship man!

I only have one T7 at all (Pensacola).

Two T6 cruisers, one T6 BB and one T6 DD. Plenty of T5s, which I think are a bit of a sweet spot. Still want my Leander though.

And...got my Gnevny :)

[Tuna]

I think the matches that are the most fun are Tier 5 to 7... Above that people run and hide, because they don't want to pay repair costs on their ships.
