Have the damage model changes have any effect on scharnhorst survivability? Your railgun experiment 2 years ago makes it seem like the gneis is going to have an extremely damaging effect on the “health” of war thunder naval.
The update to fire damage from ammo elevators implemented in April had already greatly reduced Scharnhorst’s survivability, now you can even see people complaining Scharnhorst is too easy to explode :)
That’s true, I’m mixing my turrets up again
What are you talking about? I have yet to get ammoracked via fire damage in Scharnhorst even after the fire damage buff. If you prioritize fire damage control, then Scharnhorst still remains practically immortal.
On the other hand, the fire damage buff actually made bots far easier to kill (since they performed damage control very poorly), which means players are more incentivized to farm the bots than actually engaging in battle.
Is this some sort of out of season April Fool’s joke?
No, just milking dying mode one last time.
Then you must be extremely lucky. The time for fire to spread into magazine is depending on where the fire initiates, and if it initiates at the lower part of the barbette, the fire can detonate the magazine in just 2 or 3 seconds, so even if you focus on damage control it won’t save you whatsoever. I usually aim for the first and rear turrets of Scharnhorst, where the elevators are shorter and the average time for fire to detonate their magazine is 8-10 sec, remember the minimum time to put out fire with max crew is 9sec so in many cases they will explode whatever their players do.
Besides, even without fire damage, you can detonate Scharnhorst’s magazine via cumulative splinter damage with multiple penetrations of one barbette.
$142 NZD for one pack? You’ve got to be joking with these prices Gaijin.
Maybe the absurd price means that It wont get spammed so damn much like the USS Helena was.
$80? Surely a naval rework is in the works. Surely no one is asking $80 for a ship to fight bots due to lack of entertainment for most people.
These will print loads of tons of money unless they are directly sent to 8.0, just like they deserve.
No chance of them getting scratched by any 6.0 cruiser or early ww1 battleship
“shut up im keeping my money”
80 euros…
The major issue is that players will buy those, like they bought those insanely expensive premiums…
Gaijin, it’s time to rework your price, even 20euros a vehicle is very expensive you know, I think you can rework price like this, and still earn money :
Rank I : 5 euro
Rank II : 10 euros
Rank III : 15 euros
Rank IV : 20 euros
Rank V : 25 euros
Rank VI : 30 euros
Rank VII : 35 euros
Rank VIII : 40 euros
You fix naval AB, and you expect me to support $80 ships?
I like that naval AB’s fixed, not enough to support $80 ships.
I get they’re more expensive to make than aircraft and tanks… but come on.
Whats even more insane with naval is the fact that a 3.7 coastal premium costs 24x more than 3.7 bluewater premium that is also probably stronger and will probably face each other
HMS Whitby = 6090GE with 1x twin 4.5inch
HMS Verdun = 250GE with 2x twin 4inch
Being one of the few naval players, I find this extremely disappointing. Not only is it expensive, but you’re basically putting a Sharnhorst on steroids behind a paywall.
If it was 7.99 dollars then maybe, but 80 dollars for a vehicle of the lowest played mode that is more compressed than 12.0 air rb with maps designed by ai, yeah no
Another time my premiums became useless. Had Helena/Eugen/Belfast/Mikuma all made obsolete by the premium BBs,bought these,now cant grind with them anymore again. I wont buy these anymore, too expensive, naval got killed with the latest updates like the compartment hp where two means you are dead, or magazines exploding not detonating ships anymore. People barely die in naval now and they just rather farm bots than each other. I aint touching it anymore
This bit isn’t true - my games tend to have more players now than they used to - often 1/2 - 3/4’s are players at all BR’s - used to be most game would be about 1/3rd.
This bit is fine :)
Somebody flagged this?? Such sensitive wee souls we have around here…
Asking a price of an AAA game just to get that is honestly funny.
