The Russian DD is a solid boat, it has hard hitting, accurate if slow to traverse guns and a longer ranged torpedo (8k range) than the US gets at tier V. If I had to pick one, I'd go with the Sims but that is partially because my focus is US DDs and cruisers.

0.4.0 (Open Beta) Patch NotesLots of stuff here. Server will be up tomorrow morning/midday. Notification center is active, so we can see after battle reports without having to wait for the goddamned game to end. Everything is getting 2-3x more expensive in credits and XP (unsurprising, and actually a bit welcome- I enjoyed a lot of the low tier action).

You will notice increases to credit and XP costs, of both ships and their modules, as well as to upgrades – by a factor of between 2 and 3.5, on average. Here comes ze grind. |

Ze grind may be what ultimately kills the game for me or not. Depends on how useless I feel in early games.

Tier difference isn't that harsh thankfully (with the exception of carriers). |

They should make it easier to tier up, it's nice to jump around the tiers and the games seem to do OK matching other players in similar tiered ships. But I suppose they want to make it grindy enough that you buy xp to tier up rather than play for xp to tier up.

I actually enjoyed the low tiers. I barely played anything more than a game or two until tier 3. This will at least give me time to decide that I hate every boat I play before I elite it and sell it in disgust.
So apparently this isn't quite Open Beta/soft release. I am assuming this is to clear the lower tiers of beta testers who would dominate and maul the hordes of new players that would be coming in.

One nice thing is that they will be starting with a linked account so that any premium time you have for WoT or WoWP will carry over to WoWs and vice versa. Also they say no further wipes, so any gold you spend in WoWS will be spent for real.

I may have to get that premium Japanese cruiser that can fire 100 million torpedos at once. Anyone have any experience with it?

Ooooooooooof course it is. Pulling the unique and interesting ship and replacing it with a cruiser that's probably about the same as the regular Japanese cruiser. Thanks Obama. |

So you have a premium choice of the Atlanta with 16 5 inch guns (and American Torps) and the Atago which will have 10 7 inch guns (if they go by the historical armament) for tier 7 Cruisers.
I played a bit yesterday but the teams were dreadful. Seems everyone had buggered off once the Wipe was announced. I personally am in no major rush to the High tiers anyway. In WOT the fun is around tier 6 and I haven't seen anything to indicate that things will be different in this game. Plus the thought of the grind is not enthusing me at the moment. Thankfully this game is far more forgiving for low tier in Higher tier games than WOT.
Frankly the option of just letting eleted ships build up free XP and using that to unlock higher tier Ships with real money has an appeal. Or just buying Premium ships at higher tiers and feck the grind.

I agree high tiers have no real attraction for me. I discovered in WoT that running tier x pub matches was not a lot of fun. Using them in Clan Wars battles was cool but all in all I found myself spending most of my play time in tiers 5-8. I expect to spend a fair amount of time in my Sims, Murmansk and the Grem. I might buy a tier 8 premium but I don't think the Atlanta or Atago will be it.

Has anyone played yet today? Wondering how things are working. I patched up before I left but the server ended up being down a couple of hours extra.

Yeah, a lot of shit missing from inventories it sounds like. I am sure they will take it down again and unfuck it soon. Hopefully it will be down long enough for me to get home and start grinding  |

The patch hasn't hit the EU servers yet so thanks for betatesting.
I played a bit today stil with the 3.1 but the performance was complete ass. I think it was a lot better before this but I wound up in a big battle and the fps crawled to two so I ragequit. Hopefully it will be a lot smoother tomorrow.
The Murmansk is gone because they refunded all gold purchases in the closed beta. You will have to buy it again.
Coincidering getting the Warspite. Looks like a fun BB even with the range and gun turning issues.

This is the final planned wipe. They of course reserve the right to wipe again if something game/account breaking emerges in OBT.

Hopefully it will be down long enough for me to get home and start grinding  Murmansk was for CTB only. Of course. What a weaselly thing to do. But the plot thickens-  Jesus WGA is fucking incompetent. This should be a fun show in the forums! |

it gets even better. i was looking for info on Premium ships and I ran across this little snippet from last april http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/26262-hms-warspite-comes-to-world-of-warships/page__st__60__pid__724904#entry724904Ahoy, Captains! I got the answer about the Warspite.
So, the ship is currently available in the Closed Beta for 7,500 tokens. At the end of Closed Beta (start of Open Beta), it will be wiped from your account, it will be unavailable for purchase, and you will be refunded your spent tokens as doubloons. (The same as any other purchase in the Closed Beta Test)
We will eventually offer the Warspite again in the future. For the time being, it is only a Closed Beta Test ship that you can play and test during the Closed Beta. I should also make a point that the current price will not necessarily reflect its future price when it is made available again after OBT. So bye bye Warspite till they get off their asses and decide to do the Royal navy. Which of course ill be after the Germans and the 643,898,347 Russian ships, including the one Lenin joked about that time when he was drunk. Bitter? me? |

Not that I disagree with your general sentiment, but I'm pretty sure I recall Warspite still available as the only ship in the British tech tree this evening. |

Yeah, I'm pretty pissed that all that stuff went away. But for some reason I got to keep 3 and a half million credits. I didn't think they were going to have our fake money carry over. |

Those credits are from your service level which was preserved for some reason, not what you earned in CBT battles.
