Malum0ne Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/522 27.03.2024 12:00 TEST SHIPS UNIQUE UPGRADES FOR VERMONT AND COLOMBO - CLOSED TEST 13.3 In Update 13.3 we will commence the testing of 2 new Unique Upgrades for Vermont and Cristoforo Colombo. For the testing of these new Unique Upgrades we will utilize 2 clones of the ships:X UTAH, a clone of X VERMONT and X AMERIGO VESPUCCI, a clone of X CRISTOFORO COLOMBO. These ships will have changes applied according to the effects of their Unique Upgrade: X UTAH Upgrade slot 5 removed Main battery reload time reduced by 8% Continuous AA damage increased by 15% ASW Airstrike reload time reduced by 15% X AMERIGO VESPUCCI Upgrade slot 6 removed Main Battery shell dispersion reduced by 6% Main battery reload time reduced by 6% Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. The final information will be published on our game's website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevermore135 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) It’s interesting that both of these UUs seem to be aimed at addressing common complaints regarding the ships in question (reload for Vermont and accuracy for Colombo). I’m not sure how I feel about that, because on the one hand it suggests WG is actually listening to feedback, but on the other hand it’s also a bit “boring.” Vermont’s UU is looking like a hard pass. The idea of sacrificing her excellent concealment and its synergy with Brisk (as well as the long reload that allows a well-positioned player to drop out of detection between salvoes if needed) isn’t worth the trade IMO. Of course, designing a UU for Vermont was always going to be tricky because how much benefit she gets from both the “traditional” slot 5 (concealment) and slot 6 (dispersion) upgrades. Colombo’s looks like an outright superior option to MBM3 (reload). The reduced dispersion is incredibly attractive, but I kind of wish the upgrade did more to flesh out some of the Italian BBs notable features rather than simply patch up one of Colombo’s biggest weaknesses. Although I wonder how much Sicilia’s introduction might have limited the dev’s options. Something that improved the exhaust smoke and/or modified the secondary battery with SAP would have been an interesting direction to take for a UU, but WG gave us a near-clone with those gimmicks instead.

Navalpride33 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) At first glance my reaction is the following... Life is going to suck for SUBs... High tier subs, facing attacks against has been power creeps across the board. Mid tiers its going to be ok... Low tiers... More bombs less or the same DMG... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In summery, Subs are being power creeps at high tiers and getting MORE dumped on at low tiers. The sweet spot IMO... Mid tiers. BTW if you own the Haarlem... What are you going to do with only 4 bullets..

It seems like a skill issue, to me. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 50% buff to submarine manoeuvrability has made them very OP in the hands of a smart player. I have seen a 90% drop off in DC hits since then, despite the ping marker being more informative. This month the submarine dumb fire torps got a large damage buff too. Submarines are stronger now than they were before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it stays like this I'm 100% going to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Submarines are stronger now than they were before. IF I take your perception into account.. Two buffs = Power creep. This equation I'm against.. especially at high tiers.. Its too much power and because of it... Matches are going to get shorter and shorter.. Leading to easier more eventuality of blow outs to happen more frequently.
