Mignonette Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 We need a "General general questions thread" for stuff like beard choices and age questions. This thread is for general questions for VB itself. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hahaha! We've discussed a kind of 'ready room' sub-forum, but we'll likely save that for launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyArby Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 sorry :'( lol it's alright, I think we're all pacing the cage in anticipation. Knowing feeding time draws near. (Feeding time is release date FYI, soon BCS, soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 As a long time Gran Turismo fan, I've come to learn that release dates are nebulous things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Legate, the FACEHARD program up on which your damage calculation is based only works with armor above 76.2mm. How will the programs deal with armor that is less that that, such as the armor (or lack thereof) on most destroyers, and in the superstructures of most ships?

Legate of Mineta Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Ninjapacman; It essentially counts splinter shields as no armor. Light rapid fire attacks are handled in a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I see, so it's entirely possible for high tier armor piercing shells to pass through a destroyer doing no critical damage. (Although leaving a rather large hole in whatever unfortunate surface it contacts.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellington99 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I see, so it's entirely possible for high tier armor piercing shells to pass through a destroyer doing no critical damage. (Although leaving a rather large hole in whatever unfortunate surface it contacts.) It's like in WoWS where a shell will go right through without detonating. Shells go so far and then detonate. If there's less armor, then they'll go further. That's why battleships always overpenetrate destroyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's less armor, then they'll go further. That's why battleships always overpenetrate destroyers I understand that, although I do wonder how they'll calculate that damage. It's bound to be significantly less than an AP shell that penetrates and detonates, but will the chances of a critical hit differ in any significant manner?

Legate of Mineta Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 W99 & Ninjapacman; Overpenetration can happen with any class of Ship, actually- it just depends on the shell and the armor it's striking. Also, the Team has corrected me: they use an extrapolation for lower armor thickness (and certain extreme angles, too.) Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks, Legate. I'm interested in seeing how that situation would work and the difference in actual damage numbers. I guess I'll wait for the Beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuldano Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 If I was to record random audio and edit it to be a 'morgana captain' where would I post it? If by where you mean a site for the audio file, why not post it on SoundCloud and then post the link here or in a new topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're asking where to post it on the forum, since it's a piece of fan work it fits in the Writer's Corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhao-zhanghua Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I and my friends have built a fan group,and we plan to make a mod to translate all texts into Chinese.But I don't know if the game allow to change it? By the way,we all look forward to the game and is there any news about the Beta test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhao-zhanghua Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah，we know how hard work It will become and we just do Our best.(´ﾟωﾟ｀) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 z-z; WOW! That's going to be some dedication if you do! The plan is to try to make the text as accessible as possible- of course, some text may be untranslatable, such as the ones in graphics, but we'll do our best. That may not be a launch feature, depending. Beta goes by Release, so our first Go/No Go vote will be this week- I think they'll announce in the Update. If it's No Go, then it will go to the next Release, and so on. A similar process will be followed for Launch, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuraForte Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 is there a chance for Random Players/Non-Backers to be able to join the Beta or Stress Test? or should we just patiently wait for the game to fully release? lastly are custom titles possible?

Legate of Mineta Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 AF; I don't believe so, for the Kickstarter beta. It's possible, however, that there could be a contest- and, of course, if an open beta is needed, then anyone could join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
