I think they look great, but wouldn't they be better if the ship died via a devastating strike or detonation? Instead of with every death? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

766 [SPTR] khaenn35 Members 20,155 posts 6,159 battles Report post #4 Posted September 3, 2017 Wrong. As TCBaker said, there is no such thing as "too many explosions". Although maybe the experience will be better with better graphics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

303 [UDEAD] smf117 Members 708 posts 8,906 battles Report post #6 Posted September 3, 2017 I think they are out of place for sure. They seem way to HD compared to the rest of the graphics, its like they tried to mix Battlefield graphics with Modern Warfare graphics. It just doesn't work for me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
563 [FOXEH] HowitzerBlitzer [FOXEH] Members 1,983 posts 3,253 battles Report post #7 Posted September 3, 2017 Too realistic for the current state of the game. But if they plan on updating the maps and models to fit in, I'm fine with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

226 anonym_S8aRBBvHcrV0 Members 338 posts Report post #10 Posted September 3, 2017 Needs a bit of variation, in my opinion. Happens too often. The crazy explosion upon sinking should be one of a large number of possible 'sunk' animations, not the overwhelmingly go to one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,737 [KIA] AlcatrazNC Members 3,839 posts 18,945 battles Report post #11 Posted September 3, 2017 This is what you get when Michael Bay do the graphics of WOW. Honestly i feel like they put the detonation explosion on every ship killed ship. The only thing that bother me is when shells land next to the targetted ship and i can't aim at the ship because of the explosion in the water. But i like the changes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But back to topic....looks absolutely fine to me and realistic. Of coruse, theres some lag to it and flames could last a lot longer bcuz irl, the smoke/flames goes on and on for hrs or sometimes even a day or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7,039 Skpstr Members 34,409 posts 10,768 battles Report post #15 Posted September 3, 2017 I like the new effects, but at least the muzzle blasts look off a bit, like they're from a game with different lighting or something. Not really sure how to describe it, just something isn't quite right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4,616 [-K-] Edgecase [-K-] Members 6,122 posts 29,339 battles Report post #16 Posted September 3, 2017 Muzzle blasts scale weirdly right now, in terms of animation length and frame rate. They also share a transparency issue with all the new smoke-type effects, in that they don't blend nicely into their surroundings -- they're too opaque, and it's also causing gameplay issues.

525 [DCMA] SgtSpud Beta Testers 1,997 posts 28,556 battles Report post #18 Posted September 3, 2017 I'm all for explosions, but the death scenario needs a few alternates and I think if WG just dimmed the brightness a little and greyed up the black smoke so they don't look like ARP toons we might just have it right.

Running maxed graphics at 3440 x 1440 doesn't help at all either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cartoon ships and characters for several years: totally relevant and appropriate you anime-hating bigots. Awesome explosions: Out of place and detracts from the realism of this warship simulator. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
