3,150 [HINON] RivertheRoyal Privateers 6,266 posts 3,405 battles Report post #9 Posted May 16, 2017 And Hood? No word on that. I'm assuming it's because they have not officially released her yet or something. Or, there's the chance that it's not happening. I wouldn't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,478 [HINON] renegadestatuz Members 7,656 posts 9,539 battles Report post #10 Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) And Hood? Nothing in the patch notes stating or about her. And nothing stating she received the turret reverse buff that was tested for her. So since it's not in the patch notes, I would assume they didn't go through with the buff for her. She will prob have the glacial turret traverse still. Or they've yet to add it or state it since she's not out yet and they could still buff that on her.

3,150 [HINON] RivertheRoyal Privateers 6,266 posts 3,405 battles Report post #12 Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) The madmen... I am actually shocked they are going to do this, since its much more testy to role something like this back. And this is a HUGE buff, now she's a true brawler. Not really—her traverse is still going to be slow. Warspite'll just be slightly more comfortable to play with now.

4,728 [ABDA] crzyhawk Beta Testers 17,538 posts 12,810 battles Report post #13 Posted May 16, 2017 I'm guessing she's not in the patch notes, because she hasn't been released yet. It's technically not a buff since her stats aren't finalized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same. It won't really change anything for me, but it's still a nice thing to have. Makes it a little quicker to unshadow her turrets and the like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
915 [--V--] SeaborneSumo Members 1,602 posts 14,841 battles Report post #18 Posted May 16, 2017 Now all she needs is a range buff to actually be competitive. 16.3km BB range when I'm regularly in T8 matches where BBs have 20km range is ludicrous. Needs to be extended to at least 18.5 km. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,150 [HINON] RivertheRoyal Privateers 6,266 posts 3,405 battles Report post #19 Posted May 16, 2017 No, with EM her traverse is comparable to all the others, and actually faster than the Bayern (w/o EM), way faster than Fuso (even with EM), and faster than both USN T6's. Add in awesome secondaries, her wacky armor scheme, and Warspite's gona be a great brawler BB. She already was a great brawling BB. You just had to plan ahead. Now you have to plan ahead a little less. That's all. Now all she needs is a range buff to actually be competitive. 16.3km BB range when I'm regularly in T8 matches where BBs have 20km range is ludicrous. Needs to be extended to at least 18.5 km. Her concealment largely makes up for the low range. And she has a spotter plane to get those opening salvos off. IMO, she's totally fine with her range right now.

Mild happiness. While the buff doesn't make the ship any stronger for me, it does make the Warpite more comfortable, and her gunnery more responsive. It won't change how I play her in the slightest, but a buff to one of my favorite ships is always welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
65 [JAV] Patton3rdarmy13 [JAV] Beta Testers 283 posts 15,316 battles Report post #23 Posted May 16, 2017 I guess I have to change my Warspite play style. I turned ship to traverse guns instead of turning them in turret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the shift (shaft really) in MatchMaking making Tier 6 a generally bad spot, Warspite has been collecting barnacles at her mooring. It's not that she's a bad ship now, just that new Premiums like Arizona and Scharnhorst plus the German BBs have made Warspite less competitive. Power creep seems inevitable, and I'm glad that WG is fixing some older Premiums that really need some attention. Like the buffs to Ishizuchi's range and concealment. Those were sorely needed.
