Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Yeah that’s what I’m betting as well

How so?
Gszabi’s sheet estimates in 2 to 3 days the first devblog.
Yukari’s last leak was the same date as the first devblog for that cycle.
Yukari’s leak for this cycle in 2023 was on the 10th of October.

Not having anything yet seems correct by any metric I can think of. Am I missing something maybe?

Not to drag them too hard, but I think @Deathmisser 's arithmetic got everybody excited just a little early

I guess thats what I missed.
Is it very far up?

yukari’s leaks are always ~20-28 days before the release

we’d be expecting them around now if the update were to come before november starts

19 days by Gszabi’s earliest estimate.
I personally expect these around the 2 Nov anniversary give or take a week. So far not seeing it necessarily being way over. It might be, but all a big maybe I’d say because we are still not even reaching Gszabi’s earliest estimate…
tbh, late is fine, for me so I can do the upcoming Enlisted event without it interfering with playing the WT patch when it releases :P

well we’re not waay over

but it’s looking like we may be a bit over

and ain’t we here to mald over the smallest of signs?

Yeah thats what we are both doing :)
I’ll join you on being over when Friday comes and goes without anything new (blog or proper leak)

No leaks no devblogs no nothing yet???

Why is leak list that relevant? 90% of the time it just dissapoints people.

With the lists being around 75% accurate I’d say if we combine our math* that 165% of the people will be disappointed by the actual patch.

*not actual math. I actually like something each and every patch. Please don’t ban me

The issue is there really isn’t a counter to a US supercarrier

Except for Cheap swedish subs :P

That was a war game, and can’t they just bring anti sub helicopters and aircraft?

They probably did, and it still got through

We had some that were true so?

Could that really be done in game if they were added though? Played correctly there is no way a supercarrier is getting taken out in naval

It would be kinda sad to see US limited to amphibious assault ships and WW2 carriers, likely with the top carrier being the modernized midway, but it’d be better for the game

what about modern subs?

good stealth boats have sunk modern carriers in Manoeuvres before

Well… you would be mostly reliant upon your teammates for most of your ASW. So… no guarantee of safety. I suspect US carriers would have no greater or less defence than something like HMS Queen Elizabeth would have. But that is a long way off yet.

What is interesting though is the balance between WW2 era carriers. With Britain having armoured flight decks and the US not. But the US having more aircraft.

But again, thats a long way off I reckon. I dont think the game can handle player controlled carriers at the moment, it can barely handle AI controlled carriers.

I kinda disagree on the last part

AI Air defence is good enough to bring on some actual airborne threats

imo Carriers and subs should be added as soon as possible

they’d spice up the gameplay loop and bring some change to Naval, which is much needed
and I wouldn’t put the early ones higher in BR than cruisers

this can really make naval fun again
