Cap and Goldfish are just in time to provide a small preview of the tomfoolery planned for World of Warships in April! Who knows what that diabolical fish is up to?! Your guess is as good as ours.

Update 0.5.4.1 contains a few minor additions, and a few surprises (details on those at a later date). Read the notes below!

 

 

Downtime Begins March 30 at 03:00 PT / 06:00 ET
Downtime Ends March 30 at 04:30 PT / 07:30 ET

 

0.5.4.1 Update Notes

  • The Captain and Goldfish have                    , be on the lookout for                !
  • Russian cruisers Moskva and Dmitry Donskoy have been given the "Repair Party" consumable
  • Central belt armor for Moskva now extends below the waterline
  • Svetlana's acceleration was improved (Dev Note: The maximum speed has not been changed, but Svetlana now has acceleration similar to ships of her tier)
  • Saipan (not yet publicly available) received Douglas AD2 bombers in addition to F4U-4 fighters
  • US bomber planes' chances to start fires reduced. The 500 lb. ANM64 reduced by 10% and 1,000 lb. ANM65 reduced by 18% (Dev Note: The American HE shells caused fires in nearly all cases, it was simply too powerful. The chance is still high, but now there is a larger window to avoid being set ablaze)
  • US cruisers gained the "Radar Surveillance" consumable at tiers VIII+ (for a comparison to Russian cruisers check the chart below)

So does this mean the April Fools will be flying ships or we are fighting in a bath tube with rubber duckies we have to dodge and the swirling drain of death? :)

Still hopeful that one day the Marblehead will receive a range buff.

But "Binocular view now features a longer horizontal sight leaf" is interesting and could be very useful for those long range shots.

When will the Saipan become available? WG has been teasing it the entire month and the month is almost up....

Still, looks to be a good patch! Thanks for sharing Niko! Really appreciate all the work you do for us!

  • Saipan (not yet publicly available) received Douglas AD2 bombers in addition to F4U-4 fighters

 

so wait... is AD1 Skyraider only changed to AD2 Skyshark?

 

or does Saipan now have t9 Divebombers with 1000lbs? :trollface:

I can't wait to see what they have planned for April fools. Though, the spaceships would've been really cool as it was only available in CBT.

 

Do we have a window on the 'Arpeggio' events yet, Niko? perhaps April 1st they will start? or must we wait until May.... when EU and I believe Asia servers are completely done with them?

 

I do appreciate the fact that we still get missions, but many on the NA server really do want the Arpeggio missions.

April Fools will include an all Kitikami mode. Fifteen versus fifteen with 20 torps per side. Matches will only last three minutes, because no one will survive longer than that from accidental team killing.
