I discussed our current timeplan with SDE this morning.

We want to take about 3-4 weeks for the remaining MN project. Personally I think this
should be doable.

This way it would be possible to patch it to the live servers in the monthly july update.

Also we have decided on a new project.

After the next BB5/aircraft project we will be going over the submarines.
I dont know yet if there will be any restrictions on that project and if there are, what
they will be.

Throwing this out there with submarines.

Is it possible to increase the time it takes for a sub to go from dive to critical dive?

any smart sub player is basicly invincible as long as he is under the water...

1. Shells cant hit you,
2. Torps/HH are easily dodgeable because as soon as u see them launched go to
critical dive, and wait for them to blow up.

the time it takes to go down is too fast imo.

either that or allow HH to do 1/2 damage or 1/3 the dmg when they are in critical
dive.

AA or not is not a valid reason.

USN is meant to have the best AAW. It has been like that for years until they patch the
fighter rework, which screwed everything.

A lvl 90 with crappy base, and poorly maintained crew should just not be able to fighter
camp a sodak. I have my lvl 90 crappy fighter, and I am able to fighter camp a sodak with
ease. I see something wrong there.

But then if one supervet and maintain his crew, that's another situation.



Yet, it is ironically, but turns out now, that fighter are much more resistant to AAW than
bomber, which was not the case pre-patch.

Then carry AA....


AAW slowly kills planes, it's not meant to be gods gift like it is with super low level
pilots. As a pilot turns 90-120 they should be able to go anywhere with out dying from AAW
right away.

The hardcore testing will be fixing the fighter. Which may requires, a change in code
system.


Frankly, lvl 90 fighters flying at sea level next to a sodak........ With poor base......
And still laugh the hell out of it......
Is just wrong.

@lukas

yeah, I am seeing that... SDE has failed on that part in the past (and still is)..
But I think the others are right... tier by tier it should not take long at all,
especially if we don't need any ranges to change...

@splid

you're right, plane adjustments are all just simple values, and to test we don't need to
many people either... 2 cv's a side can already achieve a lot.

You could probably get them done quicker if everyone got on the test server for tests and
people were active. But when setting dates and times, you need to be very pessamistic,
otherwise when you don't reach them, people will rage.

BB456; Two months, with whatever we have completed.

Really 2 months? The BB5's are easy to fix with the H44 being the only problem now, and
the BB6's need tweaking. The BB4's are fairly balanced (not enough dps for dp for my
liking how ever), well except for Angus nation on the last two.

Again, far ahead in the future, but we need a "plan" for fighter balance; strengths and
weaknesses, and who beats who (like before, some nations would be strong against others
and weak against others).

The pre-patch T3 fighter balance is what we should be aiming for (UK/US/KM/IJN)

Thankfully the T5 scouts and T4 fighters are easy to work around.

There aren't any difficult values to deal with, T5 scouts need speed decrease for example,
its just 1 easy value :)

If your planning on testing BB5's and CV planes seperatly then personally I see T4 fps &
T5 scouts (ie plane aircraft) as being the most unbalanced content and should take priority.

Also it's not a huge amount of work, nothing like what we have just completed. It's only
going to take a couple of decisions and then some small tweaks to exisiting content.

Getting SDE to make us soviet top tier planes would be a bonus.
