Also, the new premium port looks like a cool idea too. https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/pt064/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

655 PelicanHazard Members 2,632 posts 10,276 battles Report post #10 Posted April 5, 2017 Yeah, I'm switching to Dry Dock. I like poking around the underside of ships. As it is right now I have to wait for mine to sink a certain way. I'm also hoping that the new style becomes standard in ports: ships located based on type and tier. It would open the door to more real-ish ports instead of having everything spawn in the same place regardless of size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

714 [KAPPA] CaptHarlock_222 Members 2,062 posts 10,590 battles Report post #17 Posted April 5, 2017 YamatoA150, there is at least support in the game for moving vehicles in the port. The Yokosuka port from the ARP events had supply trucks milling about in the background, so there is hope. I can't forget to mention the New York port with the ferry and zeppelin as well as Zipangu and the constantly circling IJN planes. (I want to say they are A6M zeroes, but I've never really bothered trying to get a closer look, but they make for awesome screenshots for my screensaver folder when I catch them at the right angle flying over my camo'd up Yamato.) I do have to say that when the drydock becomes the premium port and Hawaii is made a normal port, my USN, RN, and Russian ships are leaving New York and going on an extended tropical holiday. I just hope that it keeps the great music, but if not I can always play my own stuff if need be. Come to think of it, Yamato is also on the list to get a facelift, that'll be nice and I'll have to make some updated screenshots for my screensaver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,662 [CALM] YamatoA150 Beta Testers 6,838 posts 6,088 battles Report post #18 Posted April 5, 2017 While true, there are already some moving vehicles, it's not just moving vehicles I'd like though, maybe a moving crane or repair/maintenance sparks going off here and there on your ship's hull. There's also the alien invasion NY port special where we got two different alien spacecraft flying over NY in celebration of the recent 4x space game WG was working on. As far as Yamato itself goes, I'm really hoping they finally add in the missing AA mounts to the second turret. It's not like it'll actually buff her AA capability any more than it already is.

Too bad the new dynamic lighting stuff is just for this premium port for now, since I don't have premium. I hope that this is a step towards adding in night battles (and I mean real ones, not like that bright Northern Lights map). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
