Quick Update on Radar Guys!

[10T0nHammer]

USN CAs at high tiers are no longer getting access to radar as of right now. Cannot have anything that might impede Russian Stronkness

 

Seriously though, why are they getting removed on the USN CA line. They currently have one of the worst rolls in the game, AA duty, that does not pay very well and doesn't influence battles at all. Look at the New Orleans and the Baltimore, two of the worst ships in game.

 

Probably against NDA, but did supertesters find radar broken on USN CAs? I would like to think that WG isn't just intentionally trying to beat the USN ships down but then we have to look at the Lexington, Essex and Midway....

 

Is anyone able to provide an update? I was REALLY looking forward to the DM with radar, hell it was the only reason why I was working up the USN line.

It's coming just not in this update for whatever reason.

Probably to get people to free XP (read:purchase doubloons) to get access to the only radar equipped ships

Retire USN line , period

 

Russians don't like Merica as you can tell by the USN ships line

 

Thank god that just the RU ones will get them , i can torp ships again

Yeah USN cruisers need a real shot in the arm. Except for Cleveland and Atlanta, which are both shadows of their former selves (admittedly, their former selves were a trifle OP lol) the USN cruisers are the worst at DD hunting. They aren't a real threat to BBs unless you are a very good player. They are slow, lack range, lack flexibility, aren't stealthy, have the worst guns of any cruiser line in the game, even though they were intended to be the predominant gun cruisers by WarGaming. Their only real advantage is AA, which as long as a cruiser has Defensive Fire any cruiser can AA like 2/3 as well as a dedicated and full AA spec USN cruiser, then to top it off, Kutuzov, Donskoi, and Moskva have extremely strong AA in their own right.

Yes we don't get radar for USN cruisers this patch, but in EU and Asia server notes, they stated it will be added later. Sad that we always get info late and not as complete.

It makes sense if they want to show off their RU cruisers with special feature for their new release...but I also wondering and...dreaming of this...

Can it be possible that they are thinking of working on buff the USN cruiser line, and decided to put it up together with its radar later on?

Can it be possible that they are . . . later on?

 

let the speculation begin

Why so negative guys? I think that they need to see the radar in action  first before they release it en masse.

 

It might need tweaking in duration  and/or distance. If they would release it on a lot more cruisers and it turns out to be OP they have a problem.

 

It is a very controlled experiment this way. Slowly people will start getting the higher tier RU cruisers and they can see and change the radar as needed.

 

A very good decision in my opinion!

That would be nice, but it is a disappointment now. At the speed of grinding every tier, (I don't plan on skipping any this time), it will take me a looong time to get to T8. I was planning to see what the new radar does in my New Orleans. Not yet unfortunately.

And does the tier 8 RU cruiser also get a heal? It should be for tier 9 and 10 for other countries but I think I saw it in their video? Anyone can confirm?

That would be cool.

Well, the "RADAR" is not actually radar at all, too...

Radar Consumable added. Available for Soviet cruisers, starting from Tier VIII.

• Gives the ability to detect all enemy ships within a set area, regardless of visual obstacles.

This means the radar can see ships behind island.

I didn't know Russian super fantasy tech could develop radar that emits pulses that can penetrate massive mass like islands but reflects on the surface of tiny mass like ships.

I think they should rename this consumable as "launch surveillance drone" or "activate GPS"or something... 

Clearly Russian bias, isn't it?

Im going to have to ask, what were the nerfs done to the Atlanta? From what people say, it seems to be the shell velocities. After reading http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/73548-the-biggest-nerf-that-never-happened/#topmost I'm starting to wonder whether or not she was actually nerfed at anytime.

How will they test it on live server and people will have to grind these cruisers from the start? It will take ages for players to get to tier 8-10 in numbers large enough to warrant any decision on this consumable.

USN cruisers have the worst rolls?  Are they stale or moldy or something?

That doesn't mean "PHYSICAL".

C'mon people.  Unless the patch notes state it will work through mountains and islands, then it won't.

If this were the case, they could have released radar on only the USN high tier cruisers to give captains a reason to at least try them again....and also release the RU cruiser line without radar since captains will be trying out that line regardless.  Then if it makes sense you could add the radar later to the RU line.   Or am I missing something.....like RU favoritism?

It does work through mountains...or at least it did while it was being tested.

If it works through physical objects, then WG will have altered physics/reality.

I know and accept that WoWS is not a Simulation... but c'mon, Man!!
