The last I will see of the Juliet Charlies!

Tomorrow, Detonations go bye-bye and those sneaky f**king bots won't be able to make any suspiciously well-timed Hail Mary shots on me as I fill their hulls with a bunch of metal fishies or fondle their tender, juicy cits with a load of AP shells. (Oh dear, I'm beginning to sound like @Sumseaman!)

From tomorrow, it's Charlie Kilo flags and a 5% boost to starting HP. I probably won't use them, except perhaps on the biggest BBs where it makes a major difference - and only in Randoms when I have blue boosters loaded.

Thanks (not) for reminding us of another 'reverse course' 😒 from Wedgie 😈.

It is about time too!

I particularly like the use of the words 'fondle' and 'tender'. You're really embracing your literary.

Aye.  Whether we disagree with the change, or not, the change is happening because of WG/WOWs' decision.

The era of Charlie Kilo is truly upon us.  My latest SuperContainer:

[Wolfswetpaws]

I just sold off excess inventory of signal-flags.
If I had more than 1,000 of a specific signal-flag, I sold the quantity that exceeded the 1,000 threshold.

For my recently converted Juliet-Charlie turned into Charlie-Kilo signal-flags, that excess was 667 flags.
Which yielded 4,002,000 credits from the sale.

I was looking thru my inventory for things to sell since my credits were low and I found I still have 10 Juliet Charlie signals even though they have been removed from the game. I am unable to mount them (don't show up on Equipment screen) and unable to sell them because it says "Cannot be sold". 

Am assuming it is a glitch, does any one else still have some in their inventory?

None left, it must be a glitch.

They were replaced.

Removal of Magazine Detonation mechanic - Closed Test 13.11

Based on the feedback of you, community contributors, and other volunteers, we have decided to change our stance on the magazine detonation mechanic and are going to remove it from the game entirely starting with Update 13.11

 

As a result, we're making these additional changes with the start of the update:

• The Juliet Charlie signal will be removed from the game. It will be replaced with the Charlie Kilo signal once Update 13.11 goes live. 
  • After removing Juliet Charlie signal which provided protection from Magazine detonation, we decided to replace it with a new signal which will provide a decent bonus and utility to all different ship types. 
• Charlie Kilo, will have the following stats:
  • +5% Ship HP
  • +2.5% Squadron HP
• For all players who own Juliet Charlie signals once Update 13.11 goes live, the full amount of this signal in their inventories will be replaced with Charlie Kilo signals at a ratio of 1:1.
• The Juliet Charlie signal will also be removed from various different distribution sources, like combat missions, containers, and others.
• Magazine Modification 1 Upgrade will be removed from the game, with everyone who owns this upgrade receiving 100% compensation in credits.
• The India X-Ray and Juliet Whiskey Unaone signals currently have an effect that increases the risk of your ship's magazine detonating by 5%. These effects will be removed.

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.

  
Edited to add:  If you have Juliet Charlie signals remaining in your inventory, I suggest taking a screen-shot and creating a "customer service ticket" to sell them or convert them to the Charlie Kilo signal-flags.

I am planning on it, my question was to the group to see if anyone else had them left in their inventory...............

I saw on Discord that there is an issue with Alienware Arena codes that causes this.

Thanks. Yeah I figured it was a glitch, just curious on how widespread it is. AFAIK, all mine were converted with the change but the problem is I never scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page to check. My list is sorted by number of signals and I have hundreds of each type but the ten signals are at the very bottom.

Ahh ok, yeah I cashed in an Alienware code recently. Probably it, thanks Farmers!

You can always sell signal flags for credits, sure. All are useful. I only sell (& barely ever use now) the Ramming flag (the one almost always & ever been useless, imo).

It's too bad Wedgie removed detonations & the JC flag. I find the new compensatory CK flag to be like a 'heal potion' &, ofc, another unrealistic 'gimmick' in WoWS.

The discussion about the removal of the Juliet Charlie signal-flag and detonation mechanic happened in a different topic.
