Ok my impressions at present are based around the Savage battles, will be playing other modes a bit later so more feedback will follow.

• Rogue Wave: 
  • Directives: all the missions are reasonable, the latter directives are a lot better than the PEF ones.
  • Savage Battle: Its alright, trying to work with randoms can be a exercise in frustration, will be a lot better in a division on comms. As it stands the economy sucks, it will be rough to complete the battle for resources with the current economy, i ~200k for a reasonable win (1-2 kill contribution) would be better with credit payouts the more you do for the win, I had a win where i won with 6 kills and only got 196k credits. Update: I like how the credit earning potential gets better based on the ship you are playing, ~80k average for the first ship in the line, ~150k for the second and ~210k for the third (service cost increases along the line as well). However i still feel that the economy needs improvements, as those not running premium are struggling to break even. (about ~50k more credits per tier would be good to enable those not running premium to make a bit of cash)
  • Camo's and misc: The camouflage patterns are dull, there could of been a lot more variation between the classes, will probably pass on buying the perm camos for doubloons. Nice to see the captains are available for credits for a change.
• Matchmaking Improvements:
  • having to deal with less T8 CV's as a T6 is nice, not much else to say.
• Clan Brawl:
  • Should be fun, just waiting for more specifics, it is nice that the Asia start time is a good one for the Aussies for once.
• Ranked Sprint:
  • Looking forward to these ranked sprints will be a lot of fun at T7, lots of good ships to chose from.
• Game Mechanics:
  • need to test out, will give more feedback later on.
• Game Balance:
  • The AA change will help get rid of the feeling that your AA docent do anything. need to test more.
• Interface Changes:
  • Everything looks a lot cleaner, good changes.
• Armory:
  • Nice to see the Yoshino out at last. don't care about the rename of copper and Molybdenum to Ranked and clan tokens as i'm unlikely to ever get any of them.

The rest of the changes are usual game balance changes, no comments about them.

Wonderful port to look at.

The campaign got OK-requirments

Just prior to update 0.8.5 I notice several times of screen black out with game client in background if I got into a match quickly while in queue (random battles), when try to click anything the client wouldn't respond and had to close it. Restart Client and logging in solve the problem. Did integrity check, condition recur at times, and my Internet is OK, while my GPU last update was like 2 weeks ago. 

(edit: so far I'm pretty sure it was GPU driver problem. Just updated the driver yesterday, so far no reccurance of issue in like 10 matches) 

Thanks for increasing KM lines economic rewards in general. Has long noticed GK battle rewards not up to par. Adequate increase or not, still need to be observed. 

Not a fan of savage battle,as I'm kinda a lone wolf for the pass one year in Wows, and never like post apocalypse theme. 

I hope WG can slightly improve the secondary guns accuracy for KM BBs. They are supposed to have workable secondaries, and they have too high commander skill points requirements to make their secondaries worth while, despite the fact that secondaries build has always been very situational.

Noticed Hamburg port lost of transition of port site when switching from a ship class to another. for example when you are admiring at GK, and you decided to switch to Zao, there transition of surroundings changed abruptly, like teleporting. It used to have a quick camera move.

Ranked with T7 is the worst

Too many OP Premium ships mean while Tech tree ships like trash,

even Saipan has gone but the problem still there and the biggest is Belfast

[Rina_Pon]

Minimap issues:

Ship last position, ship name, range distance shown by default, but you can't turn them off. The checkboxes don't do anything.

Commander Jingles, When?

[Make_Scenario_Great_Anew]

The damage system to CV's plane should be changed like this, but CV also need to be buffed according to the new change. One obvious example is that the Repair Party on TB doesn't work at all.

IMO, 2 new changes should be added.

1. Repair Party on TB reduces damage received.

2. CV should have a larger hanger and faster plane regeneration speed.

[Darkworld_2015]

In game survey never successfully loaded for the pass fee patches. Basically I never see the survey questions at all.. 

[Manacetamol]

I'm supporting this. It seemed like I still having zero damage while the ribbon showed penetration.

this is too bad, requirements too high and rewards too poor
